Pioneer sexologist Dr John Money died July 7, 2006 on the eve of his 85th birthday due to complications from Parkinson's disease. A groundbreaking researcher, he is credited with coining the term "gender identity". He was also controversial for promoting surgical assignment of intersex children, a practice opposed by intersex organizations. Cheryl Chase and Denise Leclair discuss his legacy in the Washington Blade. http://washingtonblade.com/2006/7-21/news/national/obit.cfm

Vanessa had previously been a firefighter in Fall River, MA for many years, but had retired due to illness. After her retirement from firefighting she came to work with IFGE, travelling around the country from conference to conference with the bookstore, and answering our support line. Hers was the first voice that people heard when they called IFGE. She spent countless hours offering support and a sympathetic ear to our callers. She will be sorely missed

(courtesy of Bodies Like Ours)Over the weekend, we learned of the untimely death last week of David Reimer in Winnipeg. David was the subject of the well-known Joan/John gender experiment in the 1960?s and 1970's by Dr. John Money. After a botched circumcision, David was given hormones and raised as a girl at the urging of Money, then a sex researcher at Johns Hopkins Hospital. After an awkward childhood and years of teasing, David discovered the truth at age 14, and he took steps to return to his male identity. David took his own life at age 38 on Tuesday, May 4, 2004.
