hi all! one hundred years ago Magnus Hirschfeld published "Die Intersexuelle Konstitution" in the 1923 (and last -_-) edition of Jahrbuch für sexuelle Zwischenstufen. the essay contains what is popularly held as the first instance of the word transsexual. so i got curious about the publish date of the journal, so i could hold a proper centenary. i still haven't found that, nor (very surprisingly) have i come across an English translation of the essay (!). however, my bud Fiona found this record of the essay's full title; supposedly, the essay was based on a lecture given March 16th, 1923. if we accept the lecture's date as the first known instance of the word, then the term transsexual will have its centenary on March 16th of this year!! let's have a fucking party!!!!
