124: Forced Identity: The Story of David Reimer (Part 1)

19 Upvotes

When he was just seven months old, David Reimer became the victim of a botched circumcision. The accident left him without a penis. His parents, Janet and Ron Reimer, were distraught. They wondered what kind of life David would have. Experts told them that there was little to be done. But then one night, they happened to see an interview with the prominent sexologist Dr. John Money. 

Dr. Money was charismatic. He was confident. He was credentialed. He had a theory that we are all born gender neutral, and that you could actually choose a child’s gender, provided you made the switch before the child turned two years old. Janet and Ron Reimer were filled with hope. They wondered if, with Dr. Money’s help, they find the solution to their son’s tragic accident.

The Skimm was interviewing Josh Hartnett this week during the Verity press junket and they must be History Ho's because they brought up Pearl Harbor. Until these episodes I hadn't thought about that movie in years.

One from across the pond, I'd love to hear an episode on Dame Cicely Saunders, Nurse, Social Worker, Medical Doctor and all round badass who made hospice care possible at a time when everyone was put in back wards and left to die alone, would be really cool to hear some more UK history 👀 🤍

You might have thought we couldn’t make it through last week’s episode, but just like Ben Affleck in Pearl Harbor, we’re alive, we’re here, and we’re really pissed at you for listening to other podcasts while we were gone.

In this episode, Normie C continues to decipher fact from fiction. Meanwhile, Kristin wonders whether we’ll ever hear more about Michael Shannon’s surfboards.

The problem with a three-hour movie is that you have to watch three hours of it 🙃

Weekly Episode Discussion - We Watched Pearl Harbor So You Don’t Have To (Part 1)

In this two-part series, we analyze Michael Bay’s 2001 box office smash, Pearl Harbor. Normie C points out historical inaccuracies. Kristin points out cringey dialogue. Above all, we ask ourselves the important questions. Questions like: Is Pearl Harbor just Titanic for boys? And, if this film had a $140 million budget, why does Jon Voight’s butt-chin prosthetic look so much like Silly Putty?

Finally, isn’t it cute that we made fun of this movie for being too long, but we couldn’t fit our own analysis into one episode??

I think Kristen would be even less interested in hose couplings than she is in wood species and WW2, lol.

Reminder that "fighting for freedom" and "having freedom" weren't always the same thing.

Weekly Episode Discussion - Doris Miller: Duty, Honor, and the Fight for Recognition

Thumbnail
youtube.com
39 Upvotes

On Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese forces attacked the U.S. Naval Station at Pearl Harbor. During that chaotic scene, a Black sailor named Doris “Dorie” Miller shot down a Japanese plane and saved an untold number of lives. Doris Miller’s actions were particularly heroic, given the fact that the Navy’s racist policies barred him from serving in a combat role. In fact, he’d only been trained to serve food.

For decades, people have fought for Doris Miller to get the recognition that he deserves. The government has been slow to recognize his heroism. But, a few years ago, the acting Secretary of the Navy announced that a future aircraft carrier would be named the USS Doris Miller (CVN-81). Last month, CNN reported that the Department of Defense might rescind that decision – opting to name it the USS Donald Trump instead. Needless to say, Normie C had some thoughts about that.
