Dr. Alan L. Hart 1890-1962 was the first FTM case recorded in the medical literature. Dr. Joshua Gilbert published Alan’s case in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disorders in 1920. Alan, born as Alberta Lucille Hart, described identifying as a boy from earliest memory. Dr. Gilbert wrote, “…from a sociological and psychological standpoint she is a man.” He transitioned in 1917 after graduating from medical school in Portland, Oregon. He had his surgery in 1918 and changed his name. Soon after, he married and started a medical practice. His second marriage in 1925 lasted until the end of his life. Alan published five books, including four novels and a text on his medical specialty (radiology). He had successful medical practices in Tacoma, Washington and Hartford, Connecticut. He lived as male successfully for many years without hormones till late in his life when male hormones became available.

LGBTQ* Books and Love Letters You May Have Missed

Empty without You: The Intimate Letters of Eleanor Roosevelt & Lorena Hickok

by Rodger Streitmatter (Editor), Eleanor Roosevelt

In 1978, more than 3,500 letters written over a thirty-year friendship between Eleanor Roosevelt and Lorena Hickok were discovered by archivists. Although the most explicit letters had been burned (Lorena told Eleanor’s daughter, “Your mother wasn’t always so very discreet in her letters to me”), the find was still electrifying enough to create controversy about the nature of the women’s relationship. Historian Rodger Streitmatter has transcribed and annotated more than 300 of those letters—published here for the first time—and put them within the context of the lives of these two extraordinary women, allowing us to understand the role of this remarkable friendship in Roosevelt’s transformation into a crusading First Lady.

Execution of Katte, (1730), depicts Hans Hermann von Katte kneeling prior to execution, and Frederick the Great forced to watch from his cell above.

"…Significant, and finally more tragic, was another attachment Frederick formed this same year (1728). Hans Hermann von Katte, six years his senior and the son of Prussian general, loved music and French literature and was derisively skeptical as the prince. Katte served as the teenager’s confidant and protector, standing guard during his flute lessons, and their friendship seems to have blossomed into a love affair. But Frederick’s relations with his father had by now become intolerable. "We have accursed scenes here every day," he complained to Borcke. "I am so tired of them that I had rather beg my bread than live any longer on this footing." Frederick William, for his part, had taken to taunting and humiliating his son in public. "Had i been treated so by my father," the king declared, "I would have blown my brains out, but this fellow has no honor, he takes all that comes." It is not surprising that the desperate Frederick laid plans to escape from Prussia. But the plot misfired. Frederick was caught as he was about to cross the border, and Katte was arrested as his accomplice. The king had both court-martialed for desertion. Katte was sentenced to life imprisonment, but the court refused to judge the prince. The king, outraged at this leniency, ordered Katte executed and the prince imprisoned. Katte’s sentence aroused widespread protests even in autocratic Prussia, but the king was adamant. A startled Frederick was roused at five on a November morning and ordered to look out his cell. When his friend appeared in the courtyard, the prince called out, “My dear Katte, a thousand pardons.” Katte called back, “My prince, there is nothing to apologize for.” Then he knelt and was beheaded; before the sword fell, Frederick fainted.

The shattered prince, bereft of freedom and self-respect, had no choice but abject surrender to the will of the king.” (x)

Mason [Haydn Mason] has argued that Voltaire’s intimate friendship with Frederick the Great may have been consummated in 1740. Certainly the two wrote each other love poetry; thus in November 1740, on parting from Frederick to return to Mme du Chatelet, Voltaire wrote (this is Alison Mark’s trans-lation):

“I leave you, ‘tis true, but my torn heart Incessantly will circle to you; Mistress of mine for just four years, My sacred duty I will do - As a Hero of friendship, you must approve.

Despairingly I leave, farewell. Yes, I go to the side of one I adore, But I leave the one I love the more.”

Against Mason’s hypothesis it can been argued that Frederick had a deformed penis which he would show to no-one, and that he thought of himself as a eunuch. But this serves neither to prove that he and Voltaire did not have sexual relations of some sort, nor that their friendship was not profoundly erotic. Indeed Voltaire’s letter to the due de Richelieu of 31 August 1751 (when, after Mme du Chatelet’s death, he had gone to live at Frederick’s court) could hardly be more explicit: ‘the great blue eyes of the king, and his sweet smile, and his siren voice… a thousand attentions which would be seductive even from a commoner, all that made me lose my head. I gave myself to him passionately, blindly, and without reflection.’ And Voltaire himself gives us a perfectly straightforward account of Frederick’s sexual practices: every morning,

“he had two or three favourites attend on him - sometimes lieutenants from his regiment, sometimes pages, sometimes young cadets. Coffee was served. A handkerchief was thrown to one who staid behind for ten minutes tete a tete. They didn’t go all the way, for the prince, when his father was alive, had been very ill-treated during his one-night-stands, and the cure had been just as bad. He could not play the lead part; he had to make do with a minor role. These school-boy entertainments being finished…”

If Voltaire and Frederick never went all the way, there is no reason to think they never shared ‘school-boy entertainments’.

LGBTQ* Terms You Should Know

"TWO-SPIRIT" — an umbrella term (sometimes) used as a noun by indigenous people of North America to describe those who express their truths and self outside of the gender binary

Also recorded as: twospirit; two spirit

* Please note the above photo which describes We’Wa as Berdache. This term has been used by anthropologists in the past to describe trans* and Two-Spirit indigenous persons. It is now considered to be an archaic term and is often considered offensive.

IMPORTANT: The only individuals who identify as Two-Spirit are those who are individuals of specific cultures and ethnicity. Two-Spirit takes on more than just gender identity. It is a cultural and spiritual term.
