Robert Eads
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Eads (18 December 1945 - 17 January 1999 in Toccoa, Georgia) was a female-to-male transsexual, whose life was the subject of the award-winning documentary Southern Comfort.
At the time Southern Comfort was filmed, Eads was dying of ovarian cancer. Although the cancer had been diagnosed some years earlier, more than two dozen doctors had refused to treat Eads on the grounds that taking him on as a patient might harm their practice.
He died in 1999, aged 53.
