Dr. Carrie Soloway, the Chicago psychiatrist whose gender journey was the inspiration for the Amazon show “Transparent,” has died.

Dr. Soloway counseled patients in private practice for more than four decades as Dr. Harry J. Soloway.

Dr. Soloway died from natural causes at their Gold Coast home Nov. 21.

The Amazon show, which debuted in 2014 and ran for five seasons, was based on Dr. Soloway’s transition and how it affected the life of their entire family.

The award-winning show turned Dr. Soloway into a trans icon, even though they didn’t seek the spotlight.

Dr. Soloway’s children are Joey Soloway, creator of the show, and Faith Soloway, composer and lyricist of a musical version of the show.

Dr. Soloway was married to author Elaine Soloway for 30 years before they divorced in 1990.
