Jamison Green has spent his career fighting to make the healthcare world a safer, more accessible place for transgender people.
He talks about the seeming invisibility of trans men, gives the best explanation I've ever heard for why people feel threatened by gender nonconformity, and talks about coming into his bisexuality in his 50s. Jamison is the former president of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (formerly the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association) and the author of the very excellent memoir, Becoming A Visible Man. He was born in 1948.
