69-398: John William Money (8 July 1921 – 7 July 2006) was a New Zealand American psychologist, sexologist and professor at Johns Hopkins University known for his research on human sexual behavior and gender . Believing that gender identity was malleable within the first two years of life, Money advocated for the surgical "normalization" of the genitalia of intersex infants. Money advanced

138-476: A career-minded woman, not a transsexual who claims to need sex reassignment”. In 1965, Money co-established the Gender Identity Clinic at Johns Hopkins with the endocrinologist Claude Migeon . Money screened adult patients for two years prior to granting them a medical transition, and argued that none regret the procedure as a result. The hospital began performing sexual reassignment surgery in 1966, and

207-423: A college level textbook. The book featured David Reimer as an example of gender reassignment. In his book Gay, Straight and In-Between: The Sexology of Erotic Orientation , Money develops a conception of " bodymind ". "Bodymind" is a way for scientists, in developing a science about sexuality, to move on from the platitudes of dichotomy between nature versus nurture , innate versus the acquired, biological versus

276-414: A few weeks, the child announced they wanted to "become normal like the other boys," motivated by strong religious commitment. While the patient attempted to develop in a masculine way, Newman continually challenged the "pessimism about becoming masculine and his secret belief that he was destined to live as a feminine person" (216). In a case treated by Green, he made an effort to establish paternal control of

345-634: A house in Baltimore near the Johns Hopkins medical campus. His house had a collection of anthropological art from his travels abroad, including his studies of aboriginal communities in Australia .

Money

414-413: A medical transition, and believed sex roles should be de-stereotyped, so that masculine women would be less likely to desire transition. Money is generally viewed as a negative figure by the transgender community. Money's writing has been translated into many languages and includes around 2,000 articles, books, chapters and reviews. He received around 65 honors, awards and degrees in his lifetime. Money

483-490: A preoccupation of the mind resistant to change. According to Goldie, Money is a seen as a "negative figure" among transgender people. In one paper, Money described trans women as "devious, demanding and manipulative in their relationships with people on whom they are also dependent" and “possibly also incapable of love.” Money believed that de-stereotyping sex roles might prevent people from wanting to transition, arguing “a tomboy-ish girl, prenatally androgenized, grows up to be

552-608: A problem to be fixed so as not to lead to adult "homosexuality and transvestism." In 1968, Green published "Childhood Cross-Gender Identification", a paper reviewing the therapy of nine young male children who were younger than 8 and "clearly prepubertal". The first six were from the collaborative papers between Green and Money, the last 3 were from Robert Stoller . Citing the failure of attempts to "cure" adult trans women, he reported early diagnosis and treatment may be effective in preventing manifestations of adulthood cross-gender identification. The stated goals of family therapy are "for

621-458: A professor of pediatrics and medical psychology at Johns Hopkins University , where he worked from 1952 until his death. Money proposed and developed several theories related to the topics of gender identity and gender roles , and coined terms like gender role and lovemap . He popularised the term paraphilia (appearing in the DSM-III , which would later replace perversions ) and introduced

690-485: A purely socially constructed gender identity and infant Intersex medical interventions had become the accepted medical and sociological standard. David Reimer's case came to international attention in 1997 when he told his story to Milton Diamond , an academic sexologist , who persuaded Reimer to allow him to report the outcome in order to dissuade physicians from treating other infants similarly. Soon after, Reimer went public with his story, and John Colapinto published

759-709: A seventh variable: 7. Gender role and orientation as male or female, established while growing up." He then defined gender role as: "all those things that a person says or does to disclose himself or herself as having the status of boy or man, girl or woman, respectively. It includes, but is not restricted to sexuality in the sense of eroticism. Gender role is appraised in relation to the following: general mannerisms, deportment and demeanor; play preferences and recreational interests; spontaneous topics of talk in unprompted conversation and casual comment; content of dreams, daydreams and fantasies; replies to oblique inquiries and projective tests; evidence of erotic practices, and, finally,

828-481: A warm and friendly relationship to explain feminine behavior was "not right" for a little boy and that he should give it up. In this case, he explains the parents were worried their child "was destined to be a homosexual and felt helpless to do anything about it," but responded quickly when they learned they could do a great deal for the child. In another case treated by Newman, he explained to the patient they'd have to stop feminine behavior now before it's too late, and in

897-618: A widely disseminated and influential account in Rolling Stone magazine in December 1997. This was later expanded into The New York Times bestselling biography As Nature Made Him : The Boy Who Was Raised as a Girl (2000), in which Colapinto described how—contrary to Money's reports—when living as Brenda, Reimer did not identify as a girl. He was ostracized and bullied by peers (who dubbed him "cavewoman"), and neither frilly dresses nor female hormones made him feel female. In July 2002, Brian

966-608: The ACLU in a case challenging the Boy Scouts for refusing membership to a young gay man in California— Curran v. Mount Diablo Council of the Boy Scouts of America . During the APA's heated debate in the early 1970s about the declassification of homosexuality as a mental illness, Green argued forcefully in favor of declassification. He argued that the grounds for deciding the issue should be

1035-489: The American Psychiatric Association , without impinging on the legal and law enforcement aspects. It concluded that sexual arousal to children is subjectively reported "in a substantial minority of "normal" people", and reviewed the level of social acceptance of this historically, but stated that such observations may not entail cultural or legal acceptance today. The paper also raised specific concerns about

1104-520: The California Gold Rush in which some went to the state of California to make their fortune and stayed there. The modern stream of New Zealanders immigrating to America came after World War II as a significant portion (although not the majority) of these immigrants were war brides , because they had married U.S. servicemen who were stationed in the Pacific theater during the war. Since the 1940s,

1173-720: The University of Otago in Dunedin . Author Janet Frame attended some of Money's classes at the University of Otago, as part of her teacher training. Frame was attracted to Money, and eager to please him. In October 1945, after Frame wrote an essay mentioning her thoughts of suicide, Money convinced Frame to enter the psychiatric ward at Dunedin Public Hospital, where she was misdiagnosed as suffering from schizophrenia . Frame then spent eight years in psychiatric institutions, during which she

1242-435: The "historical and cross-cultural groundings in homosexual expression, associated psychiatric features accompanying a homosexual orientation, the emotional consequences to the homosexual of societal condemnation, and behaviors of other species". Green applauded the eventual APA decision while strongly criticizing the fact that the administration put it to a vote, saying that such "a shotgun marriage between science and democracy"

1311-443: The 1950s, many of them as a result of his studies of intersex morphology. His definition of gender is based on his understanding of sex differences among human beings. According to Money, the fact that one sex produces ova and the other sex produces sperm is the irreducible criterion of sex difference. However, there are other sex-derivative differences that follow in the wake of this primary dichotomy. These differences involve

1380-516: The 2010 surveys, there are 19,961 New Zealand Americans. Most of them are of European descent, but some hundreds are of indigenous New Zealand descent. Some 925 of those New Zealand-Americans declared they were of Tokelauan origin. The 2000 Census indicated also the existence of 1,994 people of Māori descent in US. The earliest instance of Many New Zealanders coming to the United States happened during

1449-454: The DSM-5 (as a subtype the proposed pedohebophilic disorder). Pointing to the legal age of sexual consent in several countries of Europe, this would declare 19-year-olds engaged sexually with 14-year-olds as having a mental disorder. In terms of research on biology and sexual orientation , Green was optimistic about progress and told a reporter "I suspect that at least in your lifetime we will find

1656-713: The State University of New York at Stony Brook, and Professor of Psychological Medicine, Imperial College, London. He was on the faculty of Law at UCLA and Cambridge. He was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists in 1994. Green served as President of HBIGDA, now known as World Professional Association for Transgender Health , from 1997 to 1999. Clinical vignettes from Green's work on gender identity disorder appear in widely used textbooks, such as Kaplan and Sadock's Synopsis of Psychiatry (10th ed.) The term "gender identity disorder" itself introduced in DSM-III

1725-419: The average person all six would line up unequivocally as either all "male" or "female", in an intersex person any one or more than one of these could be inconsistent with the others, leading to various kinds of anomalies. In his seminal 1955 paper he defined these factors as: And added that: "Patients showing various combinations and permutations of these six sexual variables may be appraised with respect to

1794-399: The boy when such behavior occurs. In his contact with the boy, the therapist does the same. The boy may also need actual instruction in modifying these gestures" (217). They countered the point they were ascribing an inherently higher value to masculine over feminine behavior by saying it would be easier to modify the behavior of a child rather than the attitude of society towards them. Green

(4) Sensitization of the parents to the interpersonal difficulties which underlay the tendency of the mother to be overly close with the son and for the father to emotionally divorce himself from family activities." Newman treated a family and tried to inspire aggressiveness in the child, insisting to the mother it was a success that the child struck their sister and mother. In addition, behaviors like dressing femininely were actively disapproved of. In another case treated by Newman he stated he established

1932-435: The cause of gender incongruity, they stated "General principles of therapy are aimed at accomplishing four objectives: (1) Development of a relationship of trust and affection between the male therapist and the boy. (2) Heightening parental concern about the problem so that parents begin to disapprove of feminine interests and no longer covertly encourage them. (3) Promotion of the father's, or a father-substitute's involvement in

2001-490: The children was his belief that "childhood 'sexual rehearsal play ' at thrusting movements and copulation" was important for a "healthy adult gender identity". Brian spoke about the therapy "only with the greatest emotional turmoil", and David was unwilling to speak about the details publicly. At 14 years old and in extreme psychological agony, David Reimer was told the truth by his parents. He chose to begin calling himself David, and he underwent surgical procedures to revert

2070-648: The clothes of the opposite gender, constant display of gestures and mannerisms of the opposite sex, preference for play and other activities of the opposite sex, or a stated desire to be a member of the opposite sex". They recommended that parents "Look for insidious and irrational ways in which parents may be unwittingly encouraging girlishness and penalizing their son for developing boyishly. [...] Both [parents] should convey to their son their whole-hearted approval of his present and future masculine behavior and sexuality." The paper conflated gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, viewing effeminacy in boys as

2139-437: The concept of "threshold" – the release or inhibition of sexual (or other) behavior – is most useful for sex research as a substitute for any concept of motivation. Moreover, it confers the distinct advantage of having continuity and unity to what would otherwise be a highly disparate and varied field of research. It also allows for the classification of sexual behavior. For Money, the concept of threshold has great value because of

2208-535: The course for his life and career. In the mid-1960s, Money introduced Green to Harry Benjamin , whom Green acknowledges as having "further honed" his career. In 1969 Green and Money co-edited "Transsexualism and Sex Reassignment", published by Johns Hopkins Press. In 1972, Green coauthored a paper with Lawrence Newman and Stoller titled "Treatment of Boyhood Transsexualism : An Interim Report of Four Years' Experience," which held reports and comments from their psychiatric experiences. Believing family disturbance to be

2277-518: The drug Depo-Provera ( medroxyprogesterone acetate ) for use on sex offenders at Johns Hopkins beginning in 1966. The practice later spread in the United States and Europe. In 1966, a botched circumcision left eight-month-old Reimer without a penis. Money persuaded the baby's parents that sex reassignment surgery would be in Reimer's best interest. At the age of 22 months, Reimer underwent an orchiectomy , in which his testicles were surgically removed. He

2346-429: The existence of multiple chronophilic forms of erotic age-roleplaying , or age impersonation, which he named " infantilism", "juvenilism", "adolescentilism", "gerontilism" . Money co-edited a 1969 book, Transsexualism and Sex Reassignment , which helped bring more acceptance to sexual reassignment surgery and transsexual individuals. Money introduced numerous definitions related to gender in journal articles in

2415-457: The family to shift the child's perception of gender roles. Their final comments included "Some boys reveal their feminine identifications through physical gestures. By the time they are seen in consultation much of this display is unconscious or automatic. In order to bring it under volitional control, the child must be sensitized to when he is walking, sitting, or using his hands "like a girl." Parents should be instructed to consistently point out to

2484-399: The female bodily modifications. Despite the pain and turmoil of the brothers, for decades, Money reported on Reimer's progress as the "John/Joan case", describing apparently successful female gender development and using this case to support the feasibility of sex reassignment and surgical reconstruction even in non- intersex cases. By the time this deception was discovered, the idea of

2553-465: The genes so women should get back to the mattress and the kitchen". However, intersex activists also criticized Money, stating that the unreported failure had led to the surgical reassignment of thousands of infants as a matter of policy. Privately, Money was mortified by the case, colleagues said, and as a rule did not discuss it. Money had a particular interest in gender dysphoria and transgender people. He believed transgender people had an Idée fixe ;

Additional focus is on the masculinity-inhibiting of mother's anxiety over her son's healthy aggression and her greater comfort with what to her is his less threatening behavior." In Money's obituary, Green acknowledges Money and Robert Stoller , as well as his father, Leo H. Green, for having set

2691-562: The involuntary sex-reassignment of the child David Reimer . Money allegedly coerced David and his brother Brian to perform sexual rehearsal with each other, which Money then photographed. David Reimer lived a troubled life, ending with his suicide at 38 following his brother's suicide. Money believed that transgender people had an idée fixe , and established the Johns Hopkins Gender Identity Clinic in 1965. He screened adult patients for two years prior to granting them

2760-402: The latter differences apply to life activities, such as career opportunities for men versus women. Finally, Money created the now-common term gender role which he differentiated from the concept of the more traditional terminology sex role . This grew out of his studies of intersex people. In his studies of intersex people, Money alleged that there are six variables that define sex. While in

Citing that adult gay men and transgender women recollect gender incongruity in childhood, they later concluded early intervention is best in cases of gender incongruity and that "part of

3036-555: The person's own replies to direct inquiry." Money made the concept of gender a broader, more inclusive concept than one of masculine/feminine. For him, gender included not only one's status as a man or a woman, but was also a matter of personal recognition, social assignment, or legal determination; not only on the basis of one's genitalia but also on the basis of somatic and behavioral criteria that go beyond genital differences. In 1972, Money presented his theories in Man and Woman, Boy and Girl ,

3105-467: The public do not make distinctions between affectional pedophilia and sadistic pedophilia. According to Colapinto, Money told ''Paidika'', a now defunct Dutch journal of pedophilia, that: "If I were to see the case of a boy aged 10 or 12 who's intensely attracted toward a man in his 20s or 30s, if the relationship is totally mutual, and the bonding is genuinely totally mutual, then I would not call it pathological in any way." Also in 1986, Money postulated

3174-706: The social, and psychological versus the physiological. He suggested that all of these capitalize on the ancient, pre-Platonic, pre-biblical conception of body versus the mind, and the physical versus the spiritual. In coining the term "bodymind", in this sense, Money wishes to move beyond these very ingrained principles of our folk or vernacular psychology. Money also developed a view of "Concepts of Determinism" which, transcultural, transhistorical, and universal, all people have in common, sexologically or otherwise. These include pairbondage, troopbondage, abidance, ycleptance, foredoomance, with these coping strategies: adhibition (engagement), inhibition, explication. Money suggested that

3243-439: The successful rearing of a child is orienting him, from birth to his biologically and culturally acceptable gender role. This, as far as we know, is best achieved by providing a relationship between husband and wife exemplifying these respective roles." In 1961, they published a paper titled "Effeminacy in Prepubertal Boys", which looked at eleven young boys who were referred for their "excessive and persistent attempts to dress in

3312-405: The term chronophilia and nepiophilia (sexual attraction to toddlers and infants) in 1986. In two 1983 case study publications, Money stated that pedophilia, among other chronophilias, could be characterized as combining "devotion, affection, and limerence", "comradeship with a touch of hero-worship" and ultimately as "harmless... in most instances". He stated that both sexual researchers and

3381-419: The term sexual orientation in place of sexual preference , arguing that attraction is not necessarily a matter of free choice. Although often misattributed to him, Money did not coin the term 'gender identity' . In 1960 and 1961, he co-authored two papers with Richard Green . Money pioneered the use of drug treatment for sex offenders to extinguish their sex drives. According to a 1987 paper, he employed

3450-433: The two children to strip for "genital inspections"; when they resisted inspecting each other's genitals, Money got very aggressive. Reimer says, "He told me to take my clothes off, and I just did not do it. I just stood there. And he screamed, 'Now!' Louder than that. I thought he was going to give me a whupping. So I took my clothes off and stood there shaking." Colapinto speculates that Money's rationale for his treatment of

3519-475: The use of more accurate terminology in sex research, coining the terms gender role and sexual orientation . Despite widespread popular belief, Money did not coin the term gender identity . Money pioneered drug treatment for sex offenders to extinguish their sex drives. Since the 1990s, Money's work and research has been subject to significant academic and public scrutiny. A 1997 academic study criticized Money's work in many respects, particularly in regard to

3588-473: The way urine is expelled from the human body and other questions of sexual dimorphism . According to Money's theory, sex-adjunctive differences are typified by the smaller size of females and their problems in moving around while nursing infants. This then makes it more likely that the males do the roaming and hunting. Sex-arbitrary differences are those that are purely conventional: for example, color selection (baby blue for boys, pink for girls ). Some of

"It allows one to think developmentally or longitudinally, in terms of stages or experiences that are programmed serially, or hierarchically, or cybernetically (i.e. regulated by mutual feedback)."

He only bought secondhand clothing and rarely threw things away he deemed reusable. For over 40 years, Money lived in

3726-465: Was "ludicrous". In his work, on gender identity in children, Green used common English expressions like " sissy boy" and " tomboy " in the titles of some of his publications.

He is known for his behaviorism experiment in which he attempted to prevent male homosexuality and transsexuality by extinguishing feminine behavior in young boys. He later came to favor biological explanations for male homosexuality. Green

3933-457: Was an accountant and his mother a teacher. He earned his BA from Syracuse University in 1957, his MD from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1961, and his J.D. from Yale Law School in 1987.

On "at least one occasion" Money took a photograph of the two children performing these acts. When either child resisted Money, Money would get angry. Both Reimer and Brian recall that Money was mild-mannered around their parents, but ill-tempered when alone with them. Money also forced

4209-472: Was found dead from an overdose of antidepressants. In May 2004, David committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a sawed-off shotgun at the age of 38. According to his mother, "he had recently become depressed after losing his job and separating from his wife." Money argued that media response to Diamond's exposé was due to right-wing media bias and "the antifeminist movement." He said his detractors believed "masculinity and femininity are built into

Money would order David to get down on all fours and Brian

4623-691: Was the first clinic in the United States to do so. John Money was a leading proponent of the idea that human sexual orientation develops through learning and gendered socialization. He believed that males, if surgically reassigned and raised as girls around birth, would grow up to be attracted to males and live as heterosexual women. However, in the case of David Reimer, he grew up to be attracted to women. A 2016 academic review found that in seven total cases of boys surgically reassigned and raised as girls (due to botched circumcision or cloacal exstrophy ), all were strongly attracted to women, not men, inconsistent with this learning theory of homosexuality. Money coined
