Hirschfeld, Magnus: - Magnus Hirschfeld (1868-1935) was one of the world's first gay activists. Both a writer and a doctor, he sought not only to define sexual variation--homosexuality in both men and women, as well as what we would now refer to as trans identity--but also to repeal laws that policed their expression in his native Germany. His insistence that homosexuality was in-born, and that consenting adults should be free to form attachments without harassment from the law, was almost a century ahead of Western public consensus. Hirschfeld published in relative freedom under the German Empire and ensuing Weimar Republic but emigrated before Hitler came to power. As the Nazis cast his research to the fire, Hirschfeld resigned himself to exile, eventually settling in Nice where he died on his 67th birthday. Among his works already published in English are Transvestites and The Homosexuality of Men and Women.
