[edit] Documentary
Out of interest i Just saw a documentary with David Reimer and his brother in it. David quite clearly commented on "getting into sexual positions with his brother" when he was seven, and David commented that it seemed "sick" to him looking back on it - that Dr Money would do this. Would it be slanderous to print what David has said somewhere or another? I can't remember the name of the doco actually - but it recently aired in NZ. Cheers nic Nic 00:25, 12 June 2007 (NZ time)
- It's not slanderous if it is attributed properly to Reimer. If you can find the name of the documentary please post it. Joie de Vivre 12:31, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Just found this article randomly - it's probably "Dr Money and the Boy with No Penis" from the BBC TV series Horizon. Here's the transcript. Graham87 09:27, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pedophilia
The section on pedophilia seemed very confusing ("...pedophilia, including infantophilia (occasionally referred to as nepiophilia), pedophilia and ephebophilia."), so I recast it using the blanket term chronophilia. That left the question of whether it is appropriate to change the pedophilia to chronophilia in the statement of Money's views, since I have seen nothing about what term(s) he actually used. I am thinking we probably should make that change. Also, I changed "the debate" to "debates," because I cannot imagine that there is only one debate on the topic.

[edit] Brian's "accidental" drug overdose
I have removed the "accidental (?)" in drug overdose of David's twin brother. I have read quite a number of publications and none of them has stated that it was accidental, although they do not state that it was intentional either. Therefore the statement should be left as simply "a drug overdose". --Mizst (talk) 22:52, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] creating a vagina
i'm kind of wondering on what he based the idea that it would be easier to make a vagina then a penis. from what i know of gender-reassignment surgery of the time it was only easier to make a vagina in the sense that it's basically 'a hole' while a penis would need to be able to get stiff and stuff. which would mean he actually understood very little of female sexuality as it is seen today: their genitals are just as complex as men's, but most of that stuff is on the inside rather then the outside. having a vagina that doesn't lubricate during sex is as bad as having a dick that won't get up, but it's a less visible problem. if his view of female and male genitalia was indeed that limited than that's more than a bit ironic, seeing how he was such a feminist icon
[edit] Sex reassignment controversy—David Reimer
After having tried to resolve the dupplication issue of the above mentionne sub section, it appears some did not agree with the modification I made and reverted my edits. This sub section has been signaled as having dupplicated content for 10 months without any visible effort to resolve the issue. Two versions of the account oexisted, one mode detailed than the other. I assuemed, that since a general article exist on David Reimer, which is pointed to by the subsection as a more complete coverage, any detail covered in the main article can be removed from this article. As a result I kept the less detaield version.
Compared to my first edit , I kept the last paragraph, after a carefull reading, since it appears to be the only information not persent either elsewhere in this article or in the david Reimer article.
If you do not agree, which is the nature of wikipedia, plase come discuss it ehre so that we can move to an article of a greater quality, and to not revert my edits without discussing first please. --Dwarfpower (talk) 13:57, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
- The edit you've performed now is fine by me; it was precisely the paragraph you preserved this time whose absence I noted. I've been unable to perform much Wikipedia editing recently (busy IRL ;-), where I try to serve in more of an article policing (and preservation) role anyway...
- Anyway, Dwarfpower, thanks for making this compromise edit... -- bonze blayk (talk) 17:03, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
- Always best to find a compromise here. Took some more time to be more subtle, but was worth it. I understand IRL ;/ --Dwarfpower (talk) 11:46, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
