1. The Intermediaries
The Intermediaries recounts the overlooked history of the Institute for Sexual Science in interwar Germany, led by Magnus Hirschfeld, which pioneered early gender-affirming care and advocacy for homosexual and transgender people. Focusing on patients such as Dora Richter and the institute’s physicians, the book traces how medical experimentation, emerging queer activism, and political backlash intersected as nationalism and Nazi ideology rose. It is a concise, human-centered account of early transgender healthcare and the people who fought for recognition and dignity.
