Doubly fucked because the sexologist whose idea it was reported "everything is great!" fur years when it absolutely wasn't.

re: do doctors and parents even give a fuck about sex (CW: sui, csa) 

@starkatt @Kyresti @amphetamine@social.wxcafe.net Yeah.

I feel like there's many parallels to be made here between this and the way trans kids are raised as the wrong gender as standard practice, too; though the details of Reimer's case are particularly gruesome and go well beyond even the common trans experiences (seriously, making teenagers rehearse sexual acts with their own twin siblings, what the fuck?).
