Description
Patient care model developed by John Money, a New Zealand psychologist who theorized that gender was completely dependent on "nurture." This model advocates for performing genital surgery on intersex infants and raising them as girls. Money's theories have resulted in many surgically misgendered children who have had to deal with life-long gender dysphoria, depression, sexual dysfunction, bowel and urinary incontinence, and nerve pain. A patient-centered model, in which the intersex child is allowed to grow up and make their own choices regarding their gender and surgical option, is now preferred.
