Rowling isn't denying holocaust. She just pointed out that burning of transgender health books is a lie as that form of cosmetic surgery didn't exist. But of course you knew that already, didn't you?
I was thinking I'd probably see one of you! You're wrong :) Let's review the history a bit, shall we?
In this case, what we're talking about is the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, or in English, The Institute of Sexology. This Institute was founded and headed by a gay Jewish sexologist named Magnus Hirschfeld. It was founded in July of 1919 as the first sexology research clinic in the world, and was run as a private, non-profit clinic. Hirschfeld and the researchers who worked there would give out consultations, medical advice, and even treatments for free to their poorer clientele, as well as give thousands of lectures and build a unique library full of books on gender, sexuality, and eroticism. Of course, being a gay man, Hirschfeld focused a lot on the gay community and proving that homosexuality was natural and could not be "cured".
Hirschfeld was unique in his time because he believed that nobody's gender was either one or the other. Rather, he contended that everyone is a mixture of both male and female, with every individual having their own unique mix of traits.
This leads into the Institute's work with transgender patients. Hirschfeld was actually the one to coin the term "transsexual" in 1923, though this word didn't become popular phrasing until 30 years later when Harry Benjamin began expanding his research (I'll just be shortening it to trans for this brief overview.) For the Institute, their revolutionary work with gay men eventually began to attract other members of the LGBTA+, including of course trans people.
Contrary to what Anon says, sex reassignment surgery was first tested in 1912. It'd already being used on humans throughout Europe during the 1920's by the time a doctor at the Institute named Ludwig Levy-Lenz began performing it on patients in 1931. Hirschfeld was at first opposed, but he came around quickly because it lowered the rate of suicide among their trans patients. Not only was reassignment performed at the Institute, but both facial feminization and facial masculization surgery were also done.
The Institute employed some of these patients, gave them therapy to help with other issues, even gave some of the mentioned surgeries for free to this who could not afford it! They spoke out on their behalf to the public, even getting Berlin police to help them create "transvestite passes" to allow people to dress however they wanted without the threat of being arrested. They worked together to fight the law, including trying to strike down Paragraph 175, which made it illegal to be homosexual. The picture below is from their holiday party, Magnus Hirschfeld being the gentleman on the right with the fabulous mustache. Many of the other people in this photo are transgender.

There was always push back against the Institute, especially from conservatives who saw all of this as a bad thing. But conservatism can't stop progress without destroying it. They weren't willing to go that far for a good while. It all ended in March of 1933, when a new Chancellor was elected. The Nazis did not like homosexuals for several reasons. Chief among them, we break the boundaries of "normal" society. Shortly after the election, on May 6th, the book burnings began. The Jewish, gay, and obviously liberal Magnus Hirschfeld and his library of boundary-breaking literature was one of the very first targets. Thankfully, Hirschfeld was spared by virtue of being in Paris at the time (he would die in 1935, before the Nazis were able to invade France). His library wasn't so lucky.
This famous picture of the book burnings was taken after the Institute of Sexology had been raided. That's their books. Literature on so much about sexuality, eroticism, and gender, yes including their new work on trans people. This is the trans community's Alexandria. We're incredibly lucky that enough of it survived for Harry Benjamin and everyone who came after him was able to build on the Institute's work.
Tumblr media
As the Holocaust went on, the homosexuals of Germany became a targeted group. This did include transgender people, no matter what you say. To deny this reality is Holocaust denial. JK Rowling and everyone else who tries to pretend like this isn't reality is participating in that evil. You're agreeing with the Nazis.
But of course, you knew that already, didn't you?

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

genuinely one of the worst things that’s happened to television in the last few years (exacerbated by streaming services) is death of Filler. going from 20 episodes to 8 because “we didn’t really need that episode where the main characters went to the beach right? it had no long lasting effect” but we DID!!! we needed to see how they act without the Big Bad Plot and to establish the dynamics between the characters and lay in the sun (do they forget sunscreen? how do they react to a thieving seagull? do they get buried in the sand or do they do the burying?). the plot isn’t everything. the action doesn’t hit as hard without the quiet moments. give us character development and our little scenes back

Hi everyone! I'm recommending this fic by dogteethkakashi with the author's permission. It's a modern Zolu AU and it's really, really great. Here's the summary:
Zoro doesn't hunt mutants anymore. He just watches them wrestle in spandex and glitter. It's a process.
Luffy likes the limelight almost as much as he likes Zoro.
Rated E, please read the tags! The fic is almost done so it's a good time to catch up before the final chapter drops!

Marschliedchen
Ihr und die Dummheit zieht in Viererreihen In die Kasernen der Vergangenheit. Glaubt nicht, dass wir uns wundern, wenn ihr schreit. Denn was ihr denkt und tut, das ist zum Schreien.
Ihr kommt daher und lasst die Seele kochen. Die Seele kocht und die Vernunft erfriert. Ihr liebt das Leben erst, wenn ihr marschiert, Weil dann gesungen wird und nicht gesprochen.
Ihr liebt die Leute, die beim Töten sterben. Und Helden nennt ihr sie nach altem Brauch; denn ihr seid dumm und böse seid ihr auch. Wer dumm und böse ist, rennt ins Verderben.
Ihr liebt den Hass und wollt die Welt dran messen. Ihr werft dem Tier im Menschen Futter hin, Damit es wächst, das Tier tief in euch drin! Das Tier im Menschen soll den Menschen fressen.
Ihr möchtet auf den Trümmern Rüben bauen Und Kirchen und Kasernen wie noch nie. Ihr sehnt euch heim zur alten Dynastie Und möchtet Fideikommissbrot kauen.
Ihr wollt die Uhrenzeiger rückwärts drehen Und glaubt, das ändere der Zeiten Lauf. Dreht an der Uhr! Die Zeit hält niemand auf! Nur eure Uhr wird nicht mehr richtig gehen.
Wie ihr's euch träumt, wird Deutschland nicht erwachen. Denn ihr seid dumm und seid nicht auserwählt. Die Zeit wird kommen, da man sich erzählt: Mit diesen Leuten war kein Staat zu machen!
-Erich Kästner

Hey, absoluter shot in the dark, aber falls jemand von euch deutschen Menschen jemanden kennt, der jemanden kennt... Ich suche bis spätestens Mitte August eine neue 1-2 Zimmer Wohnung für 1 Person in Hamburg. Wohnungssuche ist Hölle, we all know it. Might as well shoot my shot here, vielleicht weiß ja jemand was.
