As a young teenager, refusing to take the prescribed female hormones and facing vaginoplasty surgery, Brenda rebelled to the point that her father broke down and confessed to her the botched circumcision which had led to the forced feminization. Brenda immediately assumed a male identity and took the name David.
When David's story came to national attention in 1997 John Money's reputation was over. However, [[Jean-Marie Huot]], the doctor who destroyed David's infant [[penis]], was rarely mentioned. In fact many of the mainstream articles reporting David's story even failed to report that David's penis had been destroyed in a botched [[circumcision]]. Some only said "the baby lost his [[penis ]] in an accident" thereby shifting blame from the circumcision "doctor" to the baby! Almost every report of David's story focused on miss-assigned gender and intersex conditions, even though David was neither. Our culture cannot face the truth, that David's natural condition had been misdiagnosed, his [[penis]] needlessly destroyed, and that [[circumcision]] was to blame.
In 2004 David took his own life. This report show how even after his [[death]] the blame remains firmly on John Money and mistreatment of intersex conditions, while the real criminal, the circumciser [[Jean-Marie Huot]], M.D., gets away without notice, even six twenty years after his death.
