John Money has been a dominant voice in sexology in the last part of the 20th century, breaking new ground in a wide variety of areas. In the process, he has been cantankerous, outspoken, and ever willing to do battle, but also original and thought provoking. This paper begins with an examination of science in general, moves on to psychology and sexology, and then examines Money s contributions to sexology in some detail. The latter are many and varied, including the development of the concept of gender, his theory of gender identity based on his work with intersex individuals, the John-Joan case, and his importance in establishing transsexualism as a diagnostic category and an academic discipline. Also important are his contributions to the development of the nomenclature of sexology, his importance to the sexology movement as a teacher, his significant research on a large variety of sexual topics, his ability to convince government agencies that sex was deserving of funding, and his association with the Erickson Educational Foundation. He also was a significant figure in the development of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality (SSSS) and in raising the standard of its journal (The Journal of Sex Research), and therefore it is only fitting that an award be named after him. Though Money remains controversial, he has contributed significantly to the development of sexology as a discipline.
约翰·莫尼在20世纪后半叶一直是性学领域的主导性人物，在众多领域都开创了新局面。在此过程中，他脾气暴躁、直言不讳，且随时准备战斗，但同时也富有独创性且发人深省。本文首先审视一般意义上的科学，接着探讨心理学和性学，然后详细考察莫尼对性学的贡献。他的贡献众多且多样，包括性别概念的发展、基于对雌雄同体个体的研究而提出的性别认同理论、约翰-琼案例，以及他在将易性癖确立为一种诊断类别和一门学科方面的重要性。他对性学命名法发展的贡献、作为教师对性学运动的重要性、对大量性话题的重要研究、说服政府机构认为性学值得资助的能力，以及与埃里克森教育基金会的关联也都很重要。他在性科学研究协会（SSSS）的发展以及提高其期刊（《性研究杂志》）的水准方面也是一位重要人物，因此以他的名字命名一个奖项是很合适的。尽管莫尼仍然存在争议，但他对性学作为一门学科的发展做出了重大贡献。
