Money, John
▪ 2007

      American psychologist (b. July 8, 1921, Morrinsville, N.Z.—d. July 7, 2006, Towson, Md.), helped pioneer the study of sexual identity, coining the terms gender role and gender identity and emphasizing the effect of psychosocial factors on sexuality. Money immigrated to the U.S. in 1947 to pursue graduate studies. He received a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1952 and embarked on an academic career at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md. Money was the first scientist to propose a connection between biological and environmental factors in determining sexuality, arguing that social expectations interacted with an individual's genes to affect hormone expression and thus sexuality. He studied gender identity in hermaphrodites as well as individuals born with normal genitalia who felt emotionally conflicted with their “assigned” gender roles.
