After surgery, David Reimer was raised as female­­; he was named Brenda.Dr John Money provide all sorts psychological help to Brenda which required after transgender surgery.

Money often took nude pictures of twins, clarifying that it was for scientific comparison, but Reimer claimed that Money sexually abused both twins and took far too many photos for their shoots to be deemed innocent. This was a large factor contributing to his fear of Money and desire to never go back for his help.
Visit to John Money was as if a nightmare for David Reimer. He was suffered from suicidal depression and told his parents he committed suicide if they made him to visit John Money. David decided to regain his male identity. He had undergone treatment to reverse the reassignment, including testosterone injections, a double mastectomy, and two phalloplast operations. He also married a woman and became a stepfather to her 3 children. His case came to international attention in 1997 when he told his story to Milton Diamond, an academic sexologist who persuaded David to allow him to report the outcome in order to dissuade physicians from treating other infants similarly.
He committed suicide by shooting himself.
