β€œTalking and writing about my experiences have helped me finally accept the past and celebrate the fact that I was once a big dreamer who happened to be born a boy named Charles.”
β€œI hope my story resonates with other big dreamers, that no matter how huge, how insane, how unreasonable or unreachable your goals may seem, nothing β€” not even your own body β€” can hold you back if you are certain and fearless and, yes, even a little ballsy in your quest.”

πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ TODAY’S PRIDE HERO πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

Richard Isay (1934-2012)

American psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, author and gay activist

Thanks to his courage, Dr. Isay laid the foundation for the legal and medical rights gay people have today.

#LGBTVoices #PrideMonth #LoveIsLove
Isay is considered a pioneer who changed the way that psychoanalysts view homosexuality and had an enormous influence on much of the HIV movement and its participants today.

β€œHe made the field see that their view was based on ideology, not evidence”
Dr. Isay contested the medical treatment of homosexuality as an illness. And, in 1992, with the help of the @ACLU, they threatened the American Psychoanalytical Association with a court case and lawsuit re: discrimination of gay people in the field of psychoanalysis.
