Lost transgender memoir from 1921 discovered by Drexel researcher

physorg.com – Drexel University

Dr. Randall Sell, a professor at the Drexel University School of Public Health and director of the LGBT Health Program, announced today that he has discovered significant parts of the long lost third volume of memoirs, entitled “Riddle of the Underworld,” from 1921 by the pseudonymous Earl Lind. With the recent suicides in the LGBT community, the timing of the finding is heightened by Lind’s explicit and emphatic pleas for adults to support “sexual and gender non-conformists” to prevent their suicide.
