Dr. Maxwell Anderson, from the film ’Southern Comfort,’ has died

Dr. Maxwell Anderson, one of the individuals featured in the award winning documentary ‘Southern Comfort’ passed away this afternoon. He was 53.
Dr. Anderson was a compassionate therapist serving a diverse community. His work touched the lives of his patients and their families, and his utilization of self-determination methods helped soften, in some small way, the pathology culture some transgender and queer people experience from the medical profession.
Dr. Anderson will be missed by many. I am incredibly sad, although I never knew him, I’ve seen what good, compassionate and understanding therapists can do for people. He was a rare breed, and I’m glad he got to share some of his life with the rest of us.
