Everything about Milton Diamond totally explained

6 March 1934 in
New York, New York) is a professor of
anatomy and

Diamond is also known for exposing the later life of
David Reimer, a boy raised as a girl after a botched circumcision. Diamond, with the cooperation of Dr.
H. Keith Sigmundson, who had been Reimer's supervising psychiatrist, tracked down the adult Reimer and found that
John Money's sex reassignment of Reimer had failed. This case, which Diamond named that of "John/Joan" to protect Reimer's privacy, has become one of the most cited cases in the literature of
psychiatry,
psychology,
women's studies,
child development, and
biology of gender. Diamond has also written extensively about
abortion and
family planning,
pornography,
intersexuality,
transsexuality, and other
sex- and
reproduction-related issues for professional sex and legal journals, as well as lay periodicals. He is frequently interviewed for public media and legal matters, and ofter serves as an expert in court proceedings.
Diamond has been at University of Hawaii since 1967. He currently directs the
John A. Burns School of Medicine's
Pacific Center for Sex and Society, and is known for his research on the origins and development of
sexual identity. He has been president of the
Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality and the
International Academy of Sex Research. In 1999, he was awarded the British
GIRES Research Prize, while in 2000 he was awarded the
