1966: Dr. Harry Benjamin published The Transsexual Phenomen.

"... in July of 1966, just before the Compton 's Cafeteria riot, when Dr. Harry Benjamin published a pathbreaking book, The Transsexual Phenomenon. In it, used the research he had conducted with transgender patients during the past seventeen years to advocate for the same style of treatment that Magnus Hirschfeld had promoted in Germany before the Nazi takeover. Benjamin essentially argued that a person 's gender identity could not be changed, and that the doctor 's responsibility was thus to help transgender people live fuller and happier lives in the gender they identified as their own. Benjamin 's book helped bring about a sea [of] change in medical and legal attitudes. Within a few months of its publication, the first "sex change program in the United States was established at the Johns Hopkins University Medical School" (Stryker, 2008).
