The plastic surgeon João Decio Ferreira receives this Sunday in Munich, Magnus Hirschfeld Gold Medal of the German Society of Clinical Sexology at work in the area of gender reassignment.

The German Society of Clinical Sexology attributed the distinction to "a life's work" the Portuguese doctor because of their contribution "both in terms of research and the teaching level, to improve the sexological knowledge and make the most human sex lives."
