A January 5, 1967 Issue of Jet Magazine carried a short article in its “Medicine” column: “Minn. U. Hospitals to Change Men to Women.” “The amputation of the genitals, the construction of a vagina, and a life-long intake of estrogen, a female sex hormone to enlarge the breasts and widen the hips for all purposes but child bearing, according to Dr. Donald W. Hastings, chief of psychiatry and neurology at the university medical school. The trans-sexual is not a homosexual but a woman’s in man’s body, said Dr. Hastings.”(1)
