==History ==
The term ''urning'', its etymological predecessor, was first used by German sexologist and activist Karl Heinrich Ulrichs in a series of five booklets collected under the title ''Forschungen über das Rätsel der mannmännlichen Liebe'' or ''The Riddle of Man–Manly Love''.<ref>[https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Riddle_of_man_manly_Love/KGCGAAAAIAAJ?hl=en ''The Riddle of "Man-Manly Love"'', Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, originally self-published in 1864, re-released by Prometheus Books in 1994.]</ref> Ulrichs developed his terminology before the first public use of the term homosexual. Later, another sexologist named Magnus Hirschfeld would use Ulrichs work to create the terms ''urning'', a "male-bodied person with a female psyche" who is attracted to men, and ''urningin'' (or ''uranierin'', ''urnin'', and ''urnigin''), a "female-bodied person with a male psyche" who is attracted to women.<ref>[https://magnus-hirschfeld.de/institut/theorie-praxis/hirschfelds-theorie/ Blog post about the "Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (1919-1933)" exhibit at the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute of Sexology (in German).]</ref>
John Addington Symonds was the first
The term would define a movement of primarily gay male artists and philosophers in the English-speaking world interested in the study of classics and who dabbled in [[Pedophile|pederastic]] poetry from the 1870s to the 1930s, including Oscar Wilde. The writings of this group are now known as Uranian poetry.<ref>[http://www.self.gutenberg.org/articles/Uranian_poetry Gutenberg Institute article on Uranian poetry.]</ref>
