Magnus Hirschfeld
During the infamous “Night of the Long Knives,” Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institute for Sexual Science was raided and destroyed by Nazis. Writings on sexology were burnt. Both clients and sexologists were persecuted. Hirschfield, the father of modern-day sex reassignment surgery (both MTF & FTM SRS) and gender studies died two years later in exile. The Institute was the first known employer to openly hire known transsexuals.
