Magnus Hirschfeld[edit]
Career[edit]
Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld was a German physician,sexologist, clinician, and homosexual rights activist.[1] In 1919 Berlin, Hirschfeld founded Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (Institute for Sexual Science), a private sexology research institute.[2] Hirschfeld's theories and research would become theoretical precursors[3] to concepts such as non-binary gender identity, and same-sex love.[4] In 1910 during the Weimar period, Hirschfeld coined the term "transvestism" to describe the act of cross-dressing, as a way to distinguish the act from notions of homosexuality.[5]
Transvestitenschein (Transvestite Pass)[edit]
In 1908-1909 Hirschfeld and psychoanalyst Karl Abraham implemented the first Transvestitenschein (Transvestite Pass).[6]Hirschfeld created

the pass as a form of protection against the incrimination and arrest of cross-dressers from local police authorities as well as providing individuals unimpeded travel.[7]The implementation of the Transvestitenschein (Transvestite Pass) paved the way for further progression amongst transgender rights, such as the ability for legal name change.[8] This was one of the first forms of trans recognition of state-legitimacy.[9]Along with Transvestitenschein (Transvestite Pass) Hirschfeld's institute began offering other services for transgender individuals such as sexual health services, including medical transitioning.
