New Zealand psychologist John Money was BOTD in 1921. Born in Morrinsville, Waikato, he studied psychology at Victoria University of Wellington. After a brief career as a lecturer at the University of Otago in Dunedin, where he was responsible for committing writer Janet Frame to a psychiatric hospital, he moved to the United States to study psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh and Harvard College. In 1965, he co-founded the Johns Hopkins Gender Identity Clinic and became an early proponent of sexual reassignment surgery for intersex children, introducing the terms “gender identity”, “gender role” and “sexual orientation” into medical discourse. In 1966, he persuaded the parents of 22-month old David Reimer to undergo gender reassignment surgery, following a botched circumcision. Reimer was subsequently raised as female, and Money became a medical superstar after publicly reporting the success of the “John/John Case”. After years of psychological distress, Reimer rejected his female reassignment and adopted a male identity. In 1997, he went public with his story, describing Money as a violent bully who forced him and his twin brother to act out sexual scenes during therapy sessions. Despite the controversy, and Reimer’s suicide in 2004, Money continued to promote intersex medical interventions, retaining his medical licence and academic tenure. He died in 2006, aged 85. Frame described her relationship with Money (renamed as “John Forrest”) in her 1985 memoir An Angel at My Table. Bizarrely, she remained lifelong friends with Money, staying with him when she visited the United States. Money was played by Colin McColl in Jane Campion’s 1990 adaptation of An Angel at My Table. He is prominently featured in the 2023 documentary Every Body, profiling intersex people who were medically misgendered.
