Description
Reed Erickson used his fortune to quietly build the foundation of transgender healthcare in America. The first gender clinic at Johns Hopkins Hospital existed because of his funding.

Joe and Rya kick off Pride Month by getting to know an ancestor of the transgender community. Sometimes family is a little strange, and that's exactly the point.
