Lou Sullivan
Louis Graydon Sullivan (June 16, 1951 – March 2, 1991) was an American author and activist known for his work on behalf of trans men. He was perhaps the first transgender man to publicly identify as gay〔Highleyman, Liz. ("Who was Lou Sullivan?" ). Seattle Gay News. February 22, 2008. Archived from (the original ) on November 4, 2015.〕 and is largely responsible for the modern understanding of sexual orientation and gender identity as distinct, unrelated concepts.〔Susan Stryker (1999). "Portrait of a Transfag Drag Hag as a Young Man: The Activist Career of Louis G. Sullivan," in Kate More and Stephen Whittle (eds). ''Reclaiming Gender: Transsexual Grammars at the Fin de Siecle,'' pp. 62-82. Cassells, ISBN 978-0-304-33776-7〕
Sullivan was a pioneer of the grassroots female-to-male (FTM) movement and was instrumental in helping individuals obtain peer-support, counselling, endocrinological services and reconstructive surgery outside of gender dysphoria clinics. He founded FTM International, one of the first organizations specifically for FTM individuals, and his activism and community work was a significant contributor to the rapid growth of the FTM community during the late 1980s.〔("Guide to the Louis Graydon Sullivan Papers, 1755-1991 (bulk 1961-1991)" ).

==Early life==
Sullivan grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Sullivan was born the third child of six in a very religious Catholic family and attended Catholic primary and secondary school.〔 Sullivan started keeping a journal at the age of 10, describing his early childhood thoughts of being a boy, confusing adolescence, sexual fantasies of being a gay man, and his involvement in the Milwaukee music scene.〔〔Stryker, Susan. "The Difficult Decades." In Transgender History. Berkeley, CA: Seal Press, 2008.〕 During his adolescence he expressed continued confusion about his identity, writing at age 15 in 1966 that "I want to look like what I am but don’t know what some one like me looks like. I mean, when people look at me I want them to think— there’s one of those people () that has their own interpretation of happiness. That’s what I am."〔Sullivan, Lou. Diary. 1966. As quoted in ("FTM Newsletter", Summer 2007 ), edited by Susan Stryker. Archived from (the original ) on November 4, 2015.〕
Sullivan was attracted to the idea of playing different gender roles, and his attraction for male roles was outlined in his writings, specifically in his short stories, poems and diaries; he often explored the ideas of male homosexuality and gender identity.〔 At the age of seventeen he began a relationship with a self-described “feminine” male lover, and together they would play with gender roles and gender-bending.〔
