RE: SOS...calling reveren

Just finished listening to the Bone Pony stuff...a copy would be cool.

I've seen Ilic's photographs before, but it's good to see them again. He's one of the best documentary photographers of our time. He doesn;t focus on the shock and awe parts of conflict, but on what happens to the people and the country they live in.

I didn't see it, Peapod...sorry 'bout that.

I have a vague memory of a psychiatrist or psychologist named David Remier or maybe a psychiatrist or psychologist wrote a paper about him. I have no idea what the story is though.

I thought maybe you might know about it, because most of the story took place in winnipeg. David remier was the victim of a botched circumcision as a toddler. I think they dubbed him the John/Joan case in the '60s and '70s.

They decided to turn him into a girl, but his gender was already decided a long time ago in the womb. The AMERICAN doctor who played with his mind lied about his research. He reported a success and proof that children are not by nature feminine or masculine but through nurture are. Which was a lie! He suffered so much. When he finally took the step and became what he was a man, after their experiments, I really hoped he would have a chance a life. But I heard he killed himself. I think he still lived in winnipeg. So sad.

That's why I remember the name...it was all over the news here a few months back. It was a pretty sad story all right and it raises some very real questions about the medical profession.
