VERY RARE VOLUME IN HARDER TO FIND DUST JACKET Self: A Study in Ethics and Endocrinology BY Michael Dillon; published by William Heinemann, London in 1946, 1st edition. SELF: A Study in Ethics and Endocrinology considers the psycho-physical mechanisms and reactions in human nature and destiny. This book is composed of seven chapters and begins with a description of the complexity of human body and mind, specifically their physical basis and nature of functioning. These topics are followed by a presentation on the issues of homosexuality and hermaphrodism in human, as well as the role of endocrine system in these issues. The discussion then shifts to the psychiatric and psychological aspects of diverse human personality. Laurence Michael Dillon was a British physician and author. He wrote a book in 1946 about transsexuality and at around that time he became the first trans man to undergo FTM top surgery and phalloplasty.Assigned female at birth, Michael Dillon is the first transgender man known to have undergone gender confirmation surgery. Drawn to the Church, he graduated from St. Anne's College in 1938 with a degree in theology. Knowing that women s opportunities were limited, Dillon obtained a prescription for synthetic testosterone in 1939, underwent chest reconstruction in 1942, and re-registered as Lawrence Michael Dillon on April 14, 1944. While in transition, Dillon wrote the first medico-legal treatise on gender confirmation surgeries, laying the groundwork for what would come to be called "transsexuality."Dillon's transition through thirteen surgeries to complete the phalloplasty between 1945 and 1949 remains a benchmark in female-to-male transition about which comparatively little has been written. At the intersection of ethics, medicine, biology, religion, philosophy and "transsexuality" Michael Dillon's life was an evolving struggle toward physical, intellectual, and spiritual integrity.
