Pagan Kennedy: The First Man-Made Man: New York: Bloomsbury: 2008.

As I've earlier provided a capsule biography of Michael Dillon, the first recorded female to male transsexual, I thought I'd focus on some more particular details involved in this biography of the world's first transman.

Michael lived an austere professional life, whether as a mechanic, or after he'd gone to Trinity College, and qualified as a doctor. When it came to relationships with others, it never got beyond dancing due to the painful skin grafts from his legs that were neccessary to create male genitalia.
