  • After a gang banger is found dead, accusations fall upon a young boy. That is until they discover that the boy has a twin... yet the crime scene DNA points towards a male.
    Season 6, Episode 12 'Identity': Complications ensue in the investigation of a gangbanger who fell off a building after the victim that he tried to rape bit him in self-defense. When Detectives Benson and Stabler are sure that they have found the victim (Reiley McClendon), his twin sister (Reiley McClendon) admits to biting the gangbanger even though the bite came from someone who was chromosomally male. The twins are shocked at the revelation that their parents (John Bolger and Hillary Bailey Smith) tried to raise one of them as a girl after a botched circumcision. Investigation reveals more regarding the ulterior motive of a doctor (Peter Firth) to prove that nurture supersedes nature.

      It happens a lot. Circumcisions go wrong and that's the messed up solution they use and intersex people are often mutilated at birth. Trans people routinely push for it be be banned because they understand how much being forced to live as another gender can harm a child, which is why I find it incredibly ironic that right wingers accuse them of pushing this onto kids.

    Going to keep this PG.
    This doctor is based on John Money, the father of gender identity. Money purposely botched the circumcision of one of two twins, and then insisted that the botched one should be raised as a girl, with his balls being chopped off as well. Money spent years in contact with the two boys, as their doctor, with the expectation that the botched one would become a legitimate girl.
    At some point the botched one learned of what happened, and immediately rejected being a girl, going back to being a boy, even having artificial genitals surgically installed. Unfortunately the psychological harm done to him had done too much damage. He developed schizophrenia, and overdosed on anti-depressants. Years later his brother would shoot himself after living with his own issues.
    John Money viewed this sick experiment as a success, and declared that gender can be taught.

      john money. it's sad that so many in the comments misunderstood what his crimes were and what lesson to apply to the outcomes. john money believed that gender identity was a result of upbringing, and when the parents of twin boys were referred to him after one twin's circumcision was botched, he had the perfect guinea pigs to test his theory (twin studies are the gold standard in all forms of psych & medical research because every variable is identical). so he convinced the parents to let him surgically alter their son and raise him as a girl instead. but because gender identity is an innate and unchangeable quality, the poor kid grew up always feeling "off," not unlike how trans kids describe their first inklings that they're trans. so john money was completely backwards wrong about gender identity but too many take that to mean gender identity doesn't exist and trans kids have been taught to be trans.

    I've always thought the doctor (Blair) who knew and concealed the truth is the one who should have had his license revoked not the doctor (Hendricks) who told the truth. On the other hand, (9:35) Twins do share identical DNA but they don't have the same fingerprints, couldn't the forensic team just find out if one of the siblings left his fingerprints on the crime scene? is the latter a plot hole?

    There was a case of the botched circumcision decades ago and is probably what that part is based on.
    The videos of the boy who was raised a girl show them almost looking brainwashed as they says things like “I like dolls”, “I am a girl”. The videos were done for the “experiment” rather than a documentary (but were used later in one). When they found out what happened they said they knew something wasn’t right as he’d always felt male and that the girly things that he was given didn’t feel right. He also went on to identify as a boy and had surgery. I don’t know how successful it was.
    I’m glad to say (at least in the uk where my knowledge base comes from), that wouldn’t happen now due to current practice and agreements across the country. And advances in surgery too

    Obviously the "big issue" talked about here was the forced gender-change... but what probably shocks me more is the customary circumcision. Why is it customary in America? It isn't based on religion, like in Jewish, Muslim, or Ethiopian communities. They just do it willy-nilly (pun not intended), even though almost no other western countries do it at birth. If they didn't circumcise Lindsey/Luke, none of this would have happened. WHY DO THEY CIRCUMCISE CHILDREN???

      At least in America, I think it's because John Kellogg (of the cereal fame) said that circumcision would prevent boys from masturbating, so it became fairly customary for American families to get their sons circumcised. Then when masturbating stopped being the reason, they kept doing it because it was basically cultural. More than three-quarters of all American males are circumcised.
      Funnily enough, South Korea has similar circumcision rates as America. It could be the American influence on them.

      Circumcision is not a "customary" practice in the US, but offered as an option to parent of newborn boy. People have varying opinions, but most males who've been circumcised as infants are fine with their parents' decision, don't feel it was a major trauma. Adult men would only 'choose' circumcision to treat a medical problem, a major surgical procedure likely under general and regional anesthesia with physical trauma from the wound, severe pain and slower healing performed on an adult. For healthy baby boy having circ performed by qualified professional, whether or not for religious reasons, is generally not a problem for guys when they grow up and live as adults (and no extra cleaning needed). The likelihood of complications from circumcision is much less than the likelihood of a penile problem for men with foreskin (e.g. infection, phimosis, injury). Most uncirc'd dudes dont have major problems if they know how to take proper care of their member (and if they don't develop diabetes, get STD's, or become morbidly obese, which would increase risk of a complication from having foreskin).

    • @EvanPilb
      @EvanPilb Před 4 měsíci +3

      @@zyrosqrd2552 In many European countries, as well as in China, Australia, and most First World nations, only about 2% of adult males require genital surgery, indicating that 98% remain healthy from birth to adulthood without circumcision. Despite this trend, the United States continues to support routine infant circumcision, often citing the argument that it's more complicated to perform as an adult. However, recent studies from China, Australia, and New Zealand have refuted this claim, demonstrating that surgery on newborns creates a higher rate of botched procedures compared to adult procedures and poses a greater risk of complications such as infection and urinary tract infections due to the nature of an early unsealed urethra.
      With this argument debunked, there is no valid justification for subjecting the 98% of healthy males to circumcision. Claims suggesting a need for "extra cleaning" are unfounded, as natural newborns require only straightforward care, similar to girls. Superstitions surrounding smegma, a natural bodily secretion that appears in excess due to lack of hygiene, in both boys and girls, have led to misconceptions about genital hygiene, with some mistakenly attributing it to bacteria when it is simply excess oil.
      Furthermore, there are two urological treatments available for the 2% of males who require surgery. For phimosis, studies show that 80% of severe cases can be resolved with topical steroid creams, minimizing the need for surgery. Yeast infections, though not specific to foreskin, can be easily avoided with basic hygiene practices, and most cases resolve on their own.
      In conclusion, subjecting infants to unnecessary circumcision overlooks the fact that most infants grow up without any issues despite the procedure. The practice of performing this surgery on children offers no added benefits compared to adult circumcision and compromises the basic genital functions of healthy males. This widespread practice distorts the reality of when circumcision is required and disregards the straightforward care needed for a healthy, natural newborn. Surgically altering a child's body for perceived benefits, when none exist, is neither justifiable to modern standards nor ethical. The practise should be limited to purely practised in urology, as it has shown effective in.

      If there is no issue, there is no benefit, and modern urology practise has demonstrated this time and time again. However Americans still believe they do a "favour" by giving their kids an "early surgery" despite the compromise. This does not align with reality, as in reality, 98% of males stay naturally healthy, without a problem. If girls know how to wash, boys can do it too, as they do in most of the world, except America for now haha.
