![]() ![]() Throughout the volume and in his later diaries, Sullivan wrote in meticulous detail about transitioning from female to male. In one diary spanning 1979 to 1980 Sullivan wrote about wrestling with his gender identity and documented the first year of his gender transition. Throughout his life Sullivan detailed his private thoughts, personal experiences, and the lives of those he knew in diaries spanning his adolescence in the 1960s growing up in a Catholic household in Milwaukee to living in San Francisco as a gay transgender man at the height of the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s. His book "Information for the Female to Male Cross Dresser and Transsexual," published the year prior to his death, is considered a seminal work about the unique experiences of trans men. Sullivan, who died in 1991 at age 39 due to complications from AIDS, was a pioneering transgender activist in the 1970s and 1980s. "Damn I'm going to be a gorgeous man," Lou Sullivan wrote 40 years ago in one of his personal diaries. ![]() ![]() This article shared 3489 times since Wed Oct 30, 2019 ![]()
