“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Magnus Hirschfeld was just a young doctor when one night he suddenly found a frantic soldier on his doorstep. On the eve of his wedding to a woman, the distressed soldier confessed to Hirschfeld that he was gay. He couldn’t find a future in the fatherland and called himself a “curse” knowing he could not bear the life he was being forced to live. Magnus tried to comfort the soldier, but it was too late. The soldier gave his private papers to Hirschfeld and later shot himself, calling his hour of death “sweet.”

Hirschfeld, who was himself Jewish and gay, was haunted by the needless death. He left his medical practice and began a crusade for specialising in sexual health.

Unlike his predecessors who’d believed homosexuality to be pathological, Hirschfeld argued that a person may be born with characteristics that did not fit into heterosexual or binary categories and supported the idea that some sort of a “third sex” (or Geschlecht) existed in nature. Hirschfeld came up with the term “sexual intermediaries” for non-heteronormative, gender-expansive and nonconforming individuals. Included within this umbrella were what he considered “situational” and “constitutional” homosexuals—an understanding that there is often a spectrum of bisexuality—as well as what he coined as “transvestites.” This group was comprised of those who wished to wear the clothing of the opposite sex and people who “from the point of view of their character” should be considered and live as the opposite gender. Another soldier Hirschfeld had worked described wearing women’s clothing as the chance “to be a human being at least for a moment.” He thusly understood that these people could be either homosexual or heterosexual. This is still an often misunderstood notion about transgender people today. Further still, and fascinatingly so, was Hirschfeld’s inclusion of those with no fixed gender, understood as today’s concept of gender-fluid or nonbinary identity (he counted French novelist George Sand among them). It was critical for Hirschfeld that these people were acting “in accordance with their nature,” not against it.

The film “The Danish Girl” is based upon one of Hirschfeld’s patients.

One of the first and largest book burnings committed by the Nazis was at Hirschfeld’s clinic. The Institute for Sexual Research in Berlin would be a century old had it not been for Hitler destroying it.

In 2022, the Regional Court of Cologne ruled that denying that trans people were victims of the Nazis qualifies as "a denial of Nazi crimes".

I want you to know if you are anti-trans the company you keep is a fixed fact, and not a good one.

Choose your friends wisely.

I love us so much. In every era. 🥹❤️
