→Treatment of Bruce Reimer
Bruce's parents, Janet and Ron Reimer, sought out what was thought to be the best advice on the care of a boy with no penis, so they consulted Dr. Money and the Johns Hopkins Gender Identity Clinic.
Although Bruce Reimer was an XY male with XY genes in every cell in his bbodybody, Dr. Money believed that Bruce could be re-assigned as female. Therefore his name was changed to "Brenda", and he received an orchiectomy (castration).<ref>{{REFweb

Dr. Money continued to see Bruce/Brenda and his/her twin Brian annually. They were forced to simulate sex with one another.
Bruce/Brenda was given estrogen to induce breast growth.
