A graduate of The Johns Hopkins Medical School and The Yale Law School (US) Richard Green has been professor of psychiatry in the US (UCLA, Stony Brook) and in England (Imperial College and Cambridge) and has taught in law schools in the US (UCLA) and England (Cambridge).

Here, he reflects on 50 years battling for gay rights and trans rights. From the time when homosexuality was a crime and a mental illness to same-sex marriage. From when transsexuals were unable to obtain life-saving medical treatment to confirm their true identity to public acceptance These were battles in the sex and gender revolution.
