 Gay Today: Review
Ulrichs' pioneering German gay activist successor, Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld (1868-1935) had agreed with his predecessor's biological theories, and had pointed to gay male hips—as present day psycho-biologists point to fingers, penises and hypothalamuses—which he believed to be typically larger than those of heterosexual males.
Ulrichs, who was a gay lawyer, wrote—at first using a pseudonym-- the first of his many gay advocacy pamphlets in 1864.
Ulrich's theory insisted that gay males were female souls in male bodies and that lesbians, in reverse, were male souls in female bodies.

Karl Heinrich Ulrichs was born August 25, 1825 to Elise and Hermann Heinrich Ulrichs at his family's estate, Westerfeld, near Aurich in the Kingdom of Hanover, one of the Teutonic Kingdoms that was absorbed into Germany when it was unified in 1871.
Ulrichs was promoted in 1852, but just two years later he was forced to resign his position as assistant judge because his sexual activities with other men had come to his superiors' attention.
Ulrichs had already lost a respectable position because of his sexuality, so he knew he was taking a risk when he counted himself among the passively magnetic, but whatever fear he felt for himself didn't deter him.

Although he did not spell this out, there was also the implicit prediction that differences would be found between the brains of heterosexual and homosexual individuals: in gay men, for example, the centers for attraction to women would be vestigial, while those for attraction to men would be relatively large.
Unlike Ulrichs, Hirschfeld concerned himself with the question of why the neural centers for sexual attraction developed atypically in fetuses destined to become homosexual.

 Abstract
Thirty years prior, on August 29, 1867, Karl Heinrich Ulrichs stepped up to the lectern at the Sixth Congress of German Jurists in Munich, his "heart pounding heavily,“ and publicly defended his proposal for decriminalization of male-male love: „andthat the inborn love of men for the male gender [and] should go unpunished.”
This demonstration of „Gay Courage“ (as Rosa von Praunheim’s film on Ulrichs is titled) was preceded by a series of booklets under the radical motto "Vincula frango [I will tear the bonds asunder!]" in which Ulrichs attempts to offer a "scientific" explanation of the „riddle of love between men“.
Unlike Magnus Hirschfeld, Ulrichs decided to make a unique kind of „coming out“: in 1862, two years before the publication of the first two „studies“ Vindex and Inclusa, he informed his family of his sexual disposition in four confessional letters.
