"Gender" in fact is nothing more than an indication of sex. Gender is a signifier. The indication maybe be one of language, or of costume, or something else, but gender is only gender if it indicates biological sex. If it does not, it is a hollow signifier and not true gender. Gender separated from its logical, meaningful connection with sex is a mere nonsense.

An early and disastrous example of gender ideology was the work of the sexologist Dr John Money, who carried out "transsexual" operations in Baltimore, Maryland. He carried out a bizarre experiment from 1966 onwards, on a pair of twin boys named  Brian and Bruce Reimer. The twins were born in Winnipeg in August 1965. When they were seven months old, they were sent to hospital for a routine circumcision. The electrical equipment malfunctioned and Bruce's entire penis was burnt off. Brian was not operated on. The family were distraught.

Dr Money advised the Reimers that he could turn Bruce into a girl. When Bruce was 18 months old, he was castrated and an artifical vulva was created for him. The family now called him Brenda and tried to treat him like a little girl.
