It's the Magnus Hirschfeld episode. We invited Laurie Marhoefer \u2013 Jon Bridgman Endowed Professor of History at the University of Washington, and one of our most-cited historians ever \u2013 to discuss their new book on Hirschfeld, called\xa0Racism and the Making of Gay Rights: A Sexologist, His Student, and the Empire of Queer Love.\xa0On the episode, we touch on Hirschfeld's life story as a pioneering doctor who helped invent modern homosexual identities and worked on some forms of trans-affirming health care \u2013\u2013 while also discussing the ways he integrated racism into the homosexual identities he was creating, collaborated with eugenicists, and was often willing to accept more rights for some at the expense of others.\xa0\nOur intro and outro music are,\xa0respectively, a tune written for us by DJ Michael Oswell Graphic Designer and\xa0Arpeggia Colorix, by Yann Terrien
