About Reed Erickson
Reed Erickson (October 13, 1917 – January 3, 1992) was an American engineer, activist, and philanthropist, as well as a transgender man who, according to sociology specialist Aaron H. Devor, largely informed "almost every aspect of work being done in the 1960s and 1970s in the field of gender affirmation in the US and, to a lesser degree, in other countries." He founded and ran the Erickson Educational Foundation (EEF), a nonprofit philanthropic organisation. Through the EEF, Erickson contributed millions of dollars to the early development of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) movements between 1964 and 1984.
