You're close but the facts are off a bit. For a quick read, here's his Wiki page David Reimer. For an in depth read, there's a book about him "As Nature Made Him". It not only tells his story, but delves into the "nature vs nurture" bit.
John Money was a piss poor scientist, he swept his findings so far under the rug that he literally ignored the fact that the application of his theories literally caused suicides (such as the one detailed in the non-fiction novel "As Nature Made Him" so we don't generally take him seriously anymore...
One of these days the mods are going to get tired of me plugging this book and sticky it to the side bar along with other resources.
Ten Lost Years by Barry Broadfoot Should be available to any Canadian at their local library.

It looks like this is the intended final product.
The author seems to have written a biography of James Mattis who is popular with Incels and Marines and of course
>He has been interviewed about the book on “The Story with Martha MacCallum” and “Fox and Friends” on the Fox News Network.
has various connections with Fox News. His creativity is apparently spent on a very alt-right friendly blog with titles that may well cause your eyes to roll back so far your optic nerves will be severed.

'Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.' - Tom Lehrer
I have seen side by sides of Justin Trudeau, today, next to photos of his dad at age sixty, and yeah, they look dissimilar. His father had Parkinson’s disease and aged in a rather unflattering way.
Look at a young Pierre Elliott Trudeau, though:
They always use Pierre Trudeau’s old ass pictures too. Never the one where’s he’s young and looks a hell of lot more like Justin than Fidel does.

Too bad he was an abusive asshole who faked his data & may have maltreated his research participants : A book on his most famous case study.
So there is a book about a case of a boy AMAB, whose penis was mutilated in a failed circumcision. The medical community made a serious mistake and advised the parents of this boy to raise him as a girl due to a tragic mistake during his circumcision. It was a tragic failure. Despite heroic efforts to “make” him a girl, they simply could not. He was a boy. They could not change his identity or his preferences.

The belief of the boy’s doctors was that gender is a social blank slate, and a child’s gender identity is whatever you raise it to be. This turned out to be catastrophically wrong, and should be a lesson to anyone who thinks men and women are the same other than our bodies.

Not referral links. Just go buy it. You can get it in Kindle or hardcover from Amazon, or for Google Play Books. It's probably on iTunes too, but I don't know how to search the store without downloading the iTunes app.
"Ten Lost Years '...
The depression in Canada, as told by the people who lived through it. Personal interviews with a promise of no names for the people being interviewed.

My paper? Its not published, but I'm assuming you might be talking about the source of the story? Well, I just checked and you're in luck, because I lost a few of my 1st year papers. Not too lucky though, because it came front an old printed book.
Ten Lost Years: 1929-1939: Memories of Canadians who Survived the Depression by Broadfoot, Barry. https://www.amazon.com/Ten-Lost-Years-1929-1939-Depression/dp/0771016522
Not sure of the specific stories within that book that made me realize old-time family dynamic, I read a lot of that book out of interest, but I was specifically writing on a communist organized strike/protest of unemployed men living in rural work camps in 1935 called the 'On-to-Ottawa-Trek'.
Look for Ten Lost Years. It has direct interviews with Canadians who lived through that time period. Many different types of employment, and different parts of the country. No fluff, lots of heartbreaking stories. The interviewer does not use any names, so the speakers felt free to be honest about what happened to them.

Available as a used book from Amazon. I highly recommend it.

If we're recommending books, I recommend Wasted, along with the accompanying documentary.
The Book is great. If you want some Canadian baseball in particular, I"d also recommend Jonah Keri's <em>Up, Up, and Away</em>, on the Montreal Expos.
Heyerdahls book Kon-Tiki used to be required reading in the Canadian education system. Not sure if it still is or not. If not, that's too bad, it's a great read for everyone.
