- The term "homosexual" was coined in the 1880s by Karl Maria Kertbeny as a neutral descriptor, but its widespread adoption allowed medicine to claim jurisdiction over same-sex attraction.
- Sigmund Freud's theory of homosexuality as "arrested development" provided a framework for practitioners, suggesting it could be reversed.
- Sándor Rádo further developed this, attributing homosexuality to inadequate parenting based on biased clinical samples.
- Early 20th-century surgeons in Germany attempted unilateral orchiectomy and testicle transplants, and later surgical castration, on gay men, sometimes as young as sixteen.
- During WWII, Carl Vaernet implanted testosterone-releasing pellets into prisoners in Buchenwald, most of whom died shortly after the procedure.
