The late John Money, Ph.D. (8 July 1921 – 7 July 2006) was a New Zealand born psychologist, sexologist and author who was on the staff of Johns Hopkins University.
Dr. Money had an interest in gender-related issues such as intersex and gender reassigment. Dr. Money created the Johns Hopkins Gender Identity Clinic in 1965. The clinic started gender reassignment surgery in 1966. Gender reassignment surgery was performed on adults and also on children in apparent violation of the children's right to physical integrity.
Circumcision tragedy
Bruce Peter Reimer was one of two healthy identical twin boys born in Winnipeg, MB, Canada on 22 August 1965. His twin brother was Brian Reimer.
The two boys were erroneously diagnosed with phimosis at the age of six months although non-retractile foreskin is normal in boys.
Although there were no valid medical indications for circumcision, the parents scheduled the twin boys for medically-unnecessary, non-therapeutic circumcision surgery by Jean-Marie Huot, a general practitioner in Winnipeg.
