Magnus Hirschfeld Medal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Magnus Hirschfeld Medal is awarded by the German Society for Social-Scientific Sexuality Research (DGSS) for outstanding service to sexual science, granted in the categories sexual research and sexual reform. It is named in honour of German sexology pioneer Magnus Hirschfeld (without the DGSS sharing his out-dated 'biologistic' sexual theory).
