Ethics

This exhibit makes public Lou Sullivan's intimate transition photos. Making public what are traditionally called "private" parts, runs the risk of exploiting and continuing the oversexualization that trans individuals regularly experience. However, the photos displayed are of Lou Sullivan a man who not only dedicated his life to FTM mentoring. Donated to the GLBT Historical Society, which Lou helped to establish, Lou intended these photos along with his papers to serve as a legacy of his life and work. In this way Lou continues to mentor to GLBT individuals after his death. While some may use these photos inappropriately, in today's society where so much inaccurate information about transmen can be found on the internet, these photos are intended to be educational.
