| | DIRELAND: JOHN MONEY, A GIANT OF SEX AND GENDER RESEARCH, DIES AT 84 |
 | | Money was also a celebrated atheist: a Rolling Stone profile of him noted: "A Rolling Stone article about him stated: "Having lost his faith in his early 20s, Money increasingly reacted against what he saw as the repressive religious strictures of his upbringing and, in particular, the anti-masturbatory, anti-sexual fervor that went with them. |
 | | An enormous assemblage of Dr. Money's papers, journals, drafts, correspondence, transcripts of the many court hearings on transsexualism in which Money testified as an expert, recordings of his lectures, a large collection of scientific, pornographic, and erotic magazines and journals, and more is all available at the John Money Collection at the Kinsey Institute. |
 | | I did not agree with every single one of Money's theories, and, yes, he got a little dotty in his later years and came up with some bizarre notions, but his huge contribution to creating a larger cultural, public, legal, and medical space for sexual difference in the '50s, '60s, and 70s is indisputable. |
