He gained notoriety and attention for his work in the fields of forensic psychiatry and gender identity and began working within the field of transsexuality in 1992 when he began to work at Ulm University.[4] Pfäfflin was president of the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association from 1995 to 1997.[5] He then founded the International Journal of Transgenderism with Eli Coleman.
