Walsh: Money would sometimes instruct the boys
to disrobe and inspect each other's genitals.
Sometimes they were made to simulate sex acts on each other.
Now it's taken as self-evident
that something called gender exists
and that it's distinct from biological sex.
And that the former,
perhaps even the latter, they tell us now,
and we'll have more on that later
is an artificial social construct.
But these ideas were not always self-evident.
In fact, they weren't evident at all to anyone
for the entire history of the human race up until
about 55 seconds ago.
Thousands of generations lived and died,
engaging in art and science and philosophy
and everything else that comprises human civilization,
all while assuming that there were only males and females
and never finding any other reason for any other categories.
In the 20th century, that all changed.
Considering the suddenness and magnitude
of the shift in our understanding of human nature,
we should probably take the time to acquaint ourselves
with the people responsible for it.
And when it comes to the concept of gender
and gender constructs,
there's no better place to start than Dr. John Money.
How many people know the name, Dr. John Money?
We've got a few.
How many people have heard of the term gender?
Everyone?
Okay.
This is the problem,
a real disconnect here.
So Dr. John Money is why you guys know of the term gender.
A prominent psychologist and sexologist,
Money was one of the early pioneers of the gender theories
that are currently taught in grade schools
and in universities like this one
as gospel truth.
He was among the first to take the word gender
out of the realm of grammar
and apply it to people.
So he coined the term gender role, gender identity,
and sexual orientation.
That was all him.
A professor at York University
recently published a book labeling John Money,
"The Man Who Invented Gender."
So suffice it to say, he was an extremely influential man
and anyone who propagates the left-wing gender theory today
is parroting the ideas of John Money,
whether they know it or not.
And most as we've seen, do not.
Now that fact ought to trouble gender theory proponents
because John Money was among other things, a fraud, a quack,
and a pedophile.
In 1965, after a little boy named Bruce Reimer
suffered a botched circumcision,
Money convinced his parents to have him castrated
and raised as a girl.
"Now, gender is just a construct," he told them,
so it should be no problem turning them into a girl.
They followed Money's advice
and they also brought Bruce and his twin brother, Brian.
He had twin brother, so this makes it a good case study.
Two twin brothers,
gender is just a social construct, it's all environmental.
So you raise this boy,
you give him a sex change when he's a baby,
raise him as a girl,
should be no problem, he's a girl.
Well, they also brought the two boys in
for regular therapy sessions with Money
and Money would sometimes instruct the boys
to disrobe and inspect each other's genitals.
Sometimes they were made to simulate sex acts on each other.
On at least one occasion, they disrobed
and Money took pictures of them while naked.
Never explained exactly why he did that,
but maybe we can imagine.
Money explained that this was all meant to be
healthy sexual exploration for the boys,
which he felt that he needed to witness
and facilitate.
Ultimately, Money was convinced
that his project had been a smashing success.
It was not.
The female identity never took hold for Bruce
because he wasn't a female.
Eventually he was told the truth,
he decided to transition back to being a boy
when he was about 13 or 14 years old,
but his life and his brother's life had been destroyed.
And when they were both, I think in their 30s,
one twin brother overdosed intentionally
on antidepressants,
and then Bruce went to a couple of years later
to a grocery store parking lot with a sawed-off shotgun
and shot himself in the head.
Now, that is the story,
that's the beginning of this story
that you are all taught in school now,
and he's the guy who invented it.
And that's what helped to take sex from a biological fact
to a political and ideological fact.
Now, many people, especially conservatives
think that this all began five or 10 years ago.
As I've already explained,
that cuts the timeline short by several decades.
What has really changed in the last five or 10 years
is that the gender versus sex distinction
engineered by John Money
has been effectively erased
because it's outlived its usefulness.
So first we were conditioned to believe
that a man could be a member of the male sex
and yet identify what the artificial social construct
of womanhood.
Now it said that a man who identifies as a woman
actually is a woman.
The real shift of recent years
is that we're expected to see women and trans women
as completely the same,
identical, no difference.
A trans activist on Twitter went so far as to declare
that a trans woman's penis is a biologically female penis,
which of course is like saying that a square
is geometrically circular.
It's incoherent.
[audience laughter]
Now that in the end is the whole problem
with left-gender theory.
It is totally, absolutely incoherent.
