Lawson Wilkins

Lawson Wilkins (March 6, 1894 - September 27, 1963) was an American pediatric endocrinologist.

[1][2][3] He is known along with John Money for pioneering surgeries for visibly intersex newborns.

[4][5] At the time, intersex anatomy was understood virtually exclusively as a birth defect as opposed to a nonpathological anatomical variation.

After completing his service in World War I, he studied at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

He completed his pediatric residency at Yale University before returning to practice in his hometown of Baltimore.
