Talk:John Money

So where's the section for his contraveries?

I distinctly remember a whole section that was dedicated to talking about his "contraversial" works and statements but its gone now. You guys wanna bring it back? 2601:204:E700:3CE0:2C77:6148:6F7D:2790 (talk) 12:49, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

The page already covers his controversies. Wikipedia discourages the creation of specific "controversies" sections. Zenomonoz (talk) 05:36, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

There are many paid activists whose whole job is to monitor these pages, not only maintaining them in the preferred state but nudging them towards the "correct" history. A lot of history has been rewritten in this area over the past 10 or so years. Dlobr (talk) 22:58, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Dlobr, no. The article includes heavy coverage of his career, including controversial elements. Wikipedia biographies should avoid separate "controversy" sections for a reason, WP:NOCRIT. We work this through the article instead. Zenomonoz (talk) 02:46, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

FWIW, I agree with discouraging specific controversies sections. On the other hand, it's not an outright ban, and when someone is known primarily because of his controversial work it might just be appropriate to summarise why that is so I'm a specific section, for the TLDR crowd. ~2026-12371-00 (talk) 10:41, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

There is a link to regarding a book that John Money wrote with Richard Greene. The link goes to actor Richard Greene's page, but instead should link to Richard Green the sexologist's page here.

 Not done: I could only find one mention of a Richard Green[e] in this article (in the fourth paragraph of the "Career and views" section), and it is already appropriately linked to Richard Green (sexologist). Left guide (talk) 04:12, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Grammatical error

Transgender people and the Johns Hopkins gender clinic Money had a particular interest in gender dysphoria and transgender people. He believed transgender people had an Idée fixe; a preoccupation of the mind resistant to change. According to Goldie, Money is a seen as a "negative figure" among transgender people. In one paper, Money described trans women as "devious, demanding and manipulative in their relationships with people on whom they are also dependent" and “possibly also incapable of love.”

The underlined 'a' in the second paragraph does not belong there. 50.123.66.70 (talk) 05:28, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

 Done will fix. Zenomonoz (talk) 05:39, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

So just fix it. You can just fix typos without having to report them. ~2026-28912-43 (talk) 21:49, 25 May 2026 (UTC)
