1 year ago today, Jonathan Joss was murdered in a homophobic hate crime.
Best known for voicing John Redcorn, Jonathan was a memorable part of many fans’ childhoods and will not be forgotten.
On the left is David Reimer, and on the right is Brenda Reimer. They are the same person.
As a child, he was the victim of a botched circumcision, and on the advice of a doctor, his family decided to have him castrated and raised as a girl.
For years, doctors presented the case as proof that a child’s gender identity could be shaped by upbringing.
But he never felt like a girl.
He rejected dresses, hated being treated that way, and struggled deeply with the identity forced on him.
At 14, his parents finally told him the truth. A year later, he chose to live as a boy again and took the name David.
He later married and became a stepfather, but the trauma followed him for the rest of his life.
In 2004, David Reimer died by suicide at 38.
Everyone felt sad for the penguin walking alone and the monkey rejected by his mother. But this video is far more heartbreaking, yet it didn’t receive the same attention.
people’s memories are so bad they can’t even remember the time before the trans culture war. literally no one cared. republicans didnt care. it wasn’t a concern until they had to make something up to make you angry and stupid. we have hard proof that it’s a hoax but no one cares
