The First Man-Made Man by Pagan Kennedy

Link
7/6/2008

"In The First Man-Made Man (2007), author Pagan Kennedy tells the story of Michael Dillon, the first FTM to undergo phalloplasty (over several operations between 1946 and 1949.) Born into aristocracy in 1915, Laura Dillon identified early on as transgender but because the word did not yet exist, Dillon was at a loss for how to describe her identity. Eventually, she subjected herself to experimentation with testosterone tablets and began living life as a man. The First Man-Made Man follows Dillon's life through to his surgeries, becoming a medical doctor and author, and his final days as a Buddhist novitiate."
