John Money: Last News

Addie Morfoot Contributor After a two-year hiatus Focus Features is back in the documentary theatrical game with Julie Cohen’s “Every Body,” a film that explores the lives of three intersex people. Defined as those born with sex traits that do not fit binary medical definitions of male or female sexual or reproductive anatomy, intersex people make up close to two percent of the world’s population. By some estimates that’s as common as being born a redhead, yet the intersex population is largely ignored by society, which is one reason Cohen wanted to make a film about the topic. Cohen (“RBG”) first came across the issue in 2018 when she was working with NBC News Studios. There she discovered the story of psychologist John Money who, in the 1960s, claimed that a child, without consent, would take the gender identity he/she was raised with rather than the gender identity corresponding to the biological sex.

Over the years, women falling in love with notorious criminals has been well documented. Serial killer Ted Bundy married Carole Ann Boone after committing at least 30 murders.The Menendez Brothers are currently happily married to Tammi and Rebecca, despite being in prison for almost 30 years for killing their parents. Dubbed "The Night Stalker" by the press, Richard Ramirez was sentenced to death in 1989 on charges that included 13 murders, five attempted murders and 11 sexual assaults.
