Magnus Hirschfeld was a German physician and advocate for sexual minorities. Much of his medical research was on sexuality, specifically homosexuality. He was one of the earliest to suggest that homosexuality was innate. Along with Max Spohr, Franz Josef von Bülow, and Eduard Oberg, he founded the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee, which is considered to be the first gay rights organization.[1] Hirschfield also established the Institute for Sexual Research, which would go on to perform the first modern vaginoplasties by 1930
