Psychologists John Money and Milton Diamond clashed at the 1973 International Symposium on Gender Identity due to their fundamentally opposing views on sexual and gender identity. Dr. Money argued for neutral birth identity shaped by surroundings, while Dr. Diamond disagreed, critiquing Dr. Money's work and opposing surgery on intersex infants.
The altercation between Money and Diamond turned physical, with eyewitnesses reporting that Money punched Diamond. The incident was amid a contentious period due to Dr. Money's controversial recommendation for intersex infant surgery, intensifying the heated exchange between the two psychologists.
