The Intersexual Constitution is the transcription and adaptation of a 1923 speech detailing Magnus Hirschfeld’s endeavor to create a typology of queer and transgender people. It is the first time the term “transsexualism” (“transsexualismus”) appeared in print. It covers queer and transgender physiognomy, categorization, and diagnosis in his work.
