Francis Fay is proud to curate 'Michael Dillon: Ireland's Extraordinary Trans Pioneer' - doctor, writer, athlete, Buddhist monk and the first-recorded man to undergo gender-affirming surgery. 26 Sept–8 Oct | Outhouse, Dublin 🏳️‍⚧️ dublinfestivalofhistory.ie/event/exhibi... #SpeirGorm #trans #lgbtq

The second child of Robert Arthur Dillon, heir to the baronetcy of Lismullen, County Meath, Michael studied medicine at Trinity College Dublin between 1945 and 1951, where he also proved to be a distinguished rower. In 1946, he published ‘Self: A Study in Endocrinology and Ethics’, arguing that people should be able to receive medical treatment that would alter their bodies to match their internal sense of gender.

Weaving text, images, sound, and video, this exhibition traces Dillon’s life, ideas, and enduring influence. It explores his pioneering medical transition, undertaken between 1946 and 1950 with surgeon Sir Harold Gillies. Travelling between terms to England, Dillon underwent at least thirteen separate phalloplasty procedures, helping to pave the way both scientifically and socially for countless trans men who came after him to transition more safely and openly.

Situating Dillon’s story within wider histories of medicine, gender, identity, and social change, the exhibition offers visitors an opportunity to discover a little-known Irish historical figure whose life challenged conventions and helped shape modern understandings of transgender experience.

This brilliant lady wrote this out in her back garden. She’s on the flight path for Air-force 1 into Shannon. I’m also on the flight path but unfortunately not for the 747’s. Ireland hates that fucking useless lying heap of shit. #speirgorm 🇮🇪

"The one goal sought by all, yet attained by few, is lasting and meaningful happiness. We continually pursue fulfilment, but regularly search for it outwardly—in the seen, heard, touched, tasted, smelled and conceived. We imagine that freedom lies in the sense domain, mistaking it for our natural home ..."
