You think this was brainwashed. Obviously you have not studied Gender Psychology all that much.
Daivd Reimer was born a boy, but when a doctor botched his circumcision, another doctor recommended raising him as a girl. The doctor then published articles and journal stating gender is based on 'nurture', not nurture.
The problem here is the doctor completely ignored reporting that David rebelled at being a girl. Everything he was told in his first 14 years was that he was a girl ( i.e. literal brainwashing ). Do you think that his perception of wrong gender was completely in his head? I believe his story identifies that as much as people think that parents could brainwash children, the identity of gender is a core piece of who we are.
