		<description>Richard Green is surely the next abuser whose activities must be brought to light.

I have written about his associations with John Money and later activities on my blog. Please comment and above all distribute the info:

Green is equally unpopular with Michael Jackson fans as his friend is Britains most notorious pedophile, Thomas O&#039;Caroll:

		<description>Money continued to claim that the experiment was a success even when he knew it had failed and it was used as a precedent to do the same to many other children.

Money and Green can also be found promoting the sexual abuse of boys by mem on the NAMBLA website.

A Google search for &quot;Richard Green&quot; and &quot;pedophilia&quot; will reveal many of his papers designed to normalise sex abuse.</description>

		<description>Green can be seen defending Professor John Money in a BBC Horizon on David Reimer on utube. Google &quot;David Reimer&quot; to find the film.

Reimer was normal twin boy who Money attempted to turn into a girl with hormones and surgery. This &quot;poster boy&quot; also committed suicide on May 5th 2004.

Money and Green are arrogant frauds who are responsible for many deaths</description>

		<description>the &#039;experiment&#039;, and its variants being used today, are based on what is known as &#039;behaviour modification&#039;; they mirror the work of Ivan Pavlov when he was actually studying the digestive system and he used dogs; provide a conditioned behaviour and the dog was rewarded with food; incorrect? nothing! in Kirk&#039;s case the ignoring his mother was told to do and the beating his father was instructed when he collected chips.

the specific type of conditioning Rekers &amp; his ilk use is akin to &#039;backward conditioning&#039;; it has been in the news a lot for the last 10 years - it&#039;s called &#039;torture&#039;.

Kirk&#039;s mother identified it when she talked about the beatings - &#039;we now know it as abuse...&#039;</description>

		<description>Ken -- Most likely it&#039;s *anything* not seen as uber-macho: not liking violent toys, wanting to work in something like writing, poetry, music, etc; appreciating art, music, et al; preferring to read instead of playing rough and tumble games... stereotypical macho bleephole crap like that.</description>

		<description>Jim Burroway, thank you so much for your investigation into this tragedy, a tragedy that unfortunately just keeps on giving. It ruined not only Kirk&#039;s life, but his entire family. And the fraudulent &quot;research&quot; by Green and Rekers has gone on to contribute to the pain and possibly even the suicides of other people.

I have some of the same questions that Theo enunciated above. Is there something that can be done about this fraud? Is there some way to hold Rekers and Green to account?

I know that Rekers is a lost case, a complete fraud who simply made a career out of peddling harmful nonsense. However, Green is a more respectable person. Is it possible to reach him on some plane in which he might at least acknowledge the pain his work at the Gender Identity Clinic caused?

And what is the attitude of people at UCLA who remember and possible worked at the Gender Identity Clinic? Are they speaking out?

Again, I can&#039;t tell you how I appreciate your work. At glbtq.com, they are featuring a link to your article and highlighting the Anderson Cooper series, as well as their encyclopedia entries on &quot;Sissy Boy Syndrome,&quot; Aversion Therapy, and Reparative Therapy. 

I noted that in their entry on the &quot;Sissy Boy Syndrome,&quot; they quote the late Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick as deeply critical of Green&#039;s work. The last paragraph of the &quot;Sissy Boy Syndrome&quot; entry, written by Brock Thompson, is worth quoting in full:

&quot;Concerning Green&#039;s research, Sedgwick condemns his practices, which often incorporated lying to both the subjects and the parents, as highly dubious. She argues that his work, as well as that of his fellow psychiatrists, sees the prevention of homosexuality as a useful practice of their skills. In her conclusion, Sedgwick maintains that the modern gay rights movement has been too slow to take up the cause of effeminate boys and masculine girls, that is, possible future gay men and lesbians. This &quot;effeminophobia,&quot; even outside the mental health profession, hinders the theoretical dialogue concerning gay and lesbian development.&quot;</description>

		<description>This story has clearly touched a nerve. What a moving account, Eric, of your past. I had a bad time but nothing like that. I still won&#039;t speak to my father though I did reconcile with my mother. The trouble is, one can&#039;t forget what&#039;s been said. The best we can do is to put it in perspective.

I was really shocked by Reckers&#039;s manner. He&#039;s a very effeminate man and obviously gay. Has he been punishing the rest of us to give himself cover?</description>

		<description>I just finished the BTB article. What really angers me is that George Rekers has made hundreds of thousands of dollars peddling his bullshit. He was paid 80,000 to testify in the Florida adoption crap. Someone in Kirk&#039;s family should sue Rekers and Green. 

And to read that Lift My Luggage Reker said &quot;all is well&quot; in 2009, is just maddening. It shows the depth of his insensitivity. He didn&#039;t even know the boy committed suicide. Shameless.
Bullsh!t. Rekers, you are a piece of sh!t.

As Jon Stewart told someone: if a turd could take a sh!t, and that piece of sh!t took a sh!t and then that piece of sh!t vomited, and then that vomit took a sh!t, and that piece of sh!t took a sh!t that vomited, that vomit is what you are. Rekers, you hypocritical piece of sh!t. You have blood on your hands Reker.

BTB. You can delete this post if you want. I just feel a deep and great injustice has been committed. And why? So that George Rekers could advance his career. Where are you George? Stand up and defend your work if you really believe it is true. Lets hear from you.</description>
