Money and Fame

Despite his apparent shortcomings, Dr. John Money masked the reality by authoring a book titled “S*xual Signatures” in 1975, terming Bruce Reimer’s forced transition to “Brenda” a success. The news of his work spread fast, and he received the respect of other scientists, who referred to the development as an outstanding contribution to science.

Money was featured in several publications and magazines that lauded his efforts and the development of the experiment. But nothing could be further from the truth. While everything seemed smooth sailing from the outside, the inside portrayed a different situation. “Brenda” struggled to adapt to her identity, as she felt more masculine.
