He found identical twin boys, the perfect subjects for his study. One had a botched circumcision, so he removed his scrotum and had him raised as a girl. When they were 10, he had them perform "gender affirming" sex acts on each other. When they were 12, he published that his study was successful and that "gender is a social construct." The child later confirmed that no, they weren't trans. He chose to live as a man with a new first name (not his birth name, or his "girl" name). He married a woman. In his early 40s he killed himself.
Money's heinous experiment really proves how natural a lot of "gendered" behavior actually is. Even a mutilated man, castrated since birth, raised as a girl still ended up drawn to masculine behavior.
One of the problems trans activists now is that they also see traits or behaviors considered to be masculine or feminine as evidence that a person is male or female. If a girl likes building or cars, she could be trans. If a guy likes dolls, he could be trans.

Not just behavior, but identity.
