Dr. Money was a prolific writer. He published several books and numerous articles in the medical literature. PubMed takes 23 pages to list his articles.
Dr. Money had an interest in gender-related issues such as [[intersex]] and gender reassigment. Dr. Money created the [https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/psychiatry/specialty_areas/sex_gender/ 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]].
Brian's circumcision was cancelled after Bruce's disaster. Brian's [[foreskin]] later spontaneously became retractable, illustrating the incorrectness of the [[phimosis]] diagnosis.
==Treatment of Bruce Reimer==
Bruce's parents, Janet and Ron Reimer, sought out what was thought to be the best advice on the care of a boy with no penis, so they consulted Dr. Money and the Johns Hopkins Gender Identity Clinic.
Although Bruce Reimer was an XY male with XY genes in every cell in his bbody, Dr. Money believed that Bruce could be re-assigned as female. Therefore his name was changed to "Brenda", and he received an orchiectomy (castration).<ref>{{REFweb
