And yet if you read the source, you'll find that the first definition of "gender identity" is explicitly based on sexual reality compared to Money's definition which more closely resembles gender ideology. Compare Stoller and Greenson's definitions
vs Money's
He does claim that someone else came up with the term (presumably with that definition), but also implies that she did so in private correspondences with him which would explain why no one else was able to find it.
These freaks think it's OK to lie to you. John Money technically didn't invent the term, but for all intents and purposes he did.
