The Magnus Hirschfeld Medal is awarded by the German Society for Social-Scientific Sexuality Research (DGSS)[1] 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[2] (though DGSS diverges from some of Hirschfeld's theories).
