One of the twentieth century's most controversial sexologists--or
"fuckologists," to use his own memorable term--John Money was
considered a trailblazing scientist and sexual libertarian by some,
but damned by others as a fraud and a pervert. Money invented the
concept of gender in the 1950s, yet fought its uptake by feminists.
He backed surgical treatments for transsexuality, but argued that
gender roles were set by reproductive capacity. He shaped the
treatment of intersex, advocating experimental sex changes for
children with ambiguous genitalia. He pioneered drug therapy for
sex offenders, yet took an ambivalent stance towards pedophilia. In
his most publicized case study, Money oversaw the reassignment of
David Reimer as female following a circumcision accident in
infancy. Heralded by many as proof that gender is pliable, the case
was later discredited when Reimer revealed that he had lived as a
male since his early teens.
In "Fuckology," the authors contextualize and interrogate Money's
writings and practices. The book focuses on his three key
diagnostic concepts, "hermaphroditism," "transsexualism," and
"paraphilia," but also addresses his lesser-known work on topics
ranging from animal behavior to the philosophy of science. The
result is a comprehensive collection of new insights for
researchers and students within healthcare, the humanities, and the
social sciences, as well as for practitioners and activists in
sexology, psychology, and patient rights.
