Lawson Wilkins

Lawson Wilkins (March 6, 1894 - September 27, 1963) was an American pediatric endocrinologist. He is known along with John Money for pioneering surgeries for visibly intersex newborns. At the time, intersex anatomy was understood virtually exclusively as a birth defect as opposed to a nonpathological anatomical variation. Physicians who trained under Wilkins would later go on to found the Pediatric Endocrine Society, with the society's name originally including a tribute to him.
