On 28th February, 1539, Thomas Forret, the Vicar of Dollar, John Keillor and John Beveridge, two black-friars, Duncan Simpson a priest, and a gentleman named Robert Forrester, were all burned together on the Castle Hill on a charge of heresy.

The persecution of Protestants in Scotland, at least if measured in martyrdoms, peaked in 1539, shortly after Cardinal David Beaton, a zealous opponent of reform, was appointed primate of the country, although from the info I have picked up one John Lauder, would have been the man condemning these men, he was Scotland’s Public Accuser of Heretics at the times. Heretics being anyone who didn’t follow the Catholic faith.

Of the five “heresiarchs” executed in Edinburgh, none had quite so fascinating a tale as Thomas Forret, an Augustinian monk turned Vicar whose passion for Scripture and preaching, coupled with frank observation of the institutional Church’s doctrinal and practical failings, earned him a place at the stake at the crest of the Royal Mile, just east of Edinburgh Castle.

Forret had been warned by the high heid yins about his behaviour on the pulpit a few times, one occasion said his sermons might lead to “make the people thinke” but, a very smart man, he rebuked the accusations of going against the lords work by quoting scriptures and his quick wit. At the time in Scotland the sermons were traditionally performed by “Black Friars” and “Grey Friars” That’s Dominican and Franciscan Monks to you and I!

It would all come undone in 1539 when Forret attended the wedding of the Priest of Tullibody, which attendance, no less than the marriage itself, flouted the Church’s stance position on clerical celibacy. Forret had added insult to injury by eating meat at his fellow curate’s wedding celebration, despite the fact that it was Lent.

So grievous were Forret’s collective crimes that, at his trial, he was condemned to death “without anie place for recantatioun.”

Subsequently brought to the place of his execution, a certain Friar Hardbuckell encouraged him to save his soul  by confessing his faith in God. “I beleeve in God,” Forret replied. Hardbuckell then encouraged him to confess his faith in the Virgin Mary by adding the words “and in our Ladie.” Forret answered, “I beleeve as our Ladie beleeveth,” thereby maintaining to the end the perfect and full sufficiency of Christ’s saving work for sinners.

Forret’s wit and knowledge of Scripture stayed with him to his very last breath. Having been preceded to the gallows by one of his fellow martyrs, Forret called the same a “wily fellow” who wished to arrive at the feast awaiting them in heaven before the others in order to secure a good seat. As the noose was placed around his neck, he began to recite Psalm 51 in Latin: Misere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam. “Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love.” Thus he continued “till they pulled the stoole frome under his feete, and so wirried [hanged], and after burnt him.”

An illustration of a knight I designed to feature the colours and coat of arms I designed for Maison Von Vlaanderen, a great house of feudal aristocracy based in “Le Royaume d’Aquitaine” or “The Kingdom of Aquitaine” in my low-fantasy world. Both this illustration and it’s associated faction iconography were designed for a low-fantasy setting of my original conception with technology and material culture roughly equivalent to the late medieval and renaissance periods of European history. Where formations of heavily armoured and mounted knights sporting suits of full plate armour or heavy coats of chainmail fight alongside armies of professional pikemen and matchlock musketeers. Where medieval-style stone castles are gradually being outsourced in favour of both lavish country estates and devoted military fortifications, or “bastions,” due to the technological advancements being made in gunpowder-based siege artillery, and where fledgling nation-states in the form of kingdoms and empires look beyond the great oceans and the frontiers of the known world in search of even greater wealth and territory. In context to the canon lore of my low-fantasy world, “Maison Von Vlaanderen”  or “House Von Vlaanderen” are the hereditary, dynastic Counts of Flandres, one of the constituent duchies and counties of “Le Royaume d’Aquitaine,” or “The Kingdom of Aquitaine.” A fantasy kingdom loosely inspired by The Kingdom of France during the medieval and “Ancien Regime” periods of French and European history, while also taking fictional sources of inspiration from The Kingdom of Bretonnia in Warhammer Fantasy and The Kingdom of The Reach in Game of Thrones. In addition to being the hereditary, dynastic Counts of Flandres, the reigning, dynastic heads of Maison Von Vlaanderen are also the official, hereditary Viceroys to “Nouvelle Aquitaine” or “New Aquitaine,” the principal, overseas colonial possession of Le Royaume d’Aquitaine under Maison Williamson as the longtime, reigning, dynastic house of Aquitanian Monarchs. Amongst The Kingdom of Aquitaine’s constituent dukes and counts born to “the great houses” of feudal nobility and aristocracy, it is the Counts of Flandres from House Von Vlaanderen who have grown extortionately wealthy from both their ancient, maritime trade privileges forged with past Aquitanian Monarchs from Maison Williamson, as well as their letters of marque officially granting them an exclusive monopoly over trade in Nouvelle Aquitaine as it’s hereditary “Viceroys’ or “Colonial Governors.” The dynastic heads of Maison Von Vlaanderen as the hereditary Counts of Flandres have always been the single wealthiest feudal, aristocratic magnates in Le Royaume d’Aquitaine after the Aquitanian monarchs from Maison Williamson themselves. But with the letters of marque recently granted to them by the Aquitanian monarchy, has their already outrageous fortunes only grown exponentially with their exclusive monopoly over the lucrative and profitable trade facilitated in Nouvelle Aquitaine. The fabulous wealth of Maison Von Vlaanderen as the hereditary Counts of Flandres and The Viceroys to Nouvelle Aquitaine has only attracted both the concern and the chagrin, in equal measure, from all the other constituent great houses of Aquitanian nobles and aristocrats, who have collectively petitioned to the Aquitanian monarchs of Maison Williamson to take on protectionist measures to curb the exorbitant profits generated by Maison Von Vlaanderen as the hereditary Viceroys to Nouvelle Aquitaine. In an effort to simultaneously relieve the growing concerns of Le Royaume d’Aquitaine’s noble and aristocratic princeps without permanently damaging his feudal ties with Maison Von Vlaanderen as the hereditary Counts of Flandres, William XXI as the current head of Maison Williamson and the 64th and reigning Roi d’Aquitaine has significantly reduced all tariffs imposed on Nouvelle Aquitaine’s exclusive exports such as silks, spices, sugar, coffee, chocolate, gems, gold, indigo, and tobacco, while also imposing protectionist policies on all foreign imports to Nouvelle Aquitaine. With this policy of trade “reciprocity,” has Maison Von Vlaanderen as the hereditary viceroys to Nouvelle Aquitaine been inherently discouraged from trading Nouvelle Aquitaine’s exported luxuries with foreign powers while having grown increasingly dependent on imports from Le Royaume d’Aquitaine’s constituent duchies and counties to fuel their colonial ventures. In regards to both the hereditary, dynastic military traditions of Maison Von Vlaanderen, as well the regional military culture of The County of Flandres, Gustave Von Vlaanderen as both the reigning Count of Flandres and the hereditary Viceroy of Nouvelle Aquitaine has pioneered the development of “Les Hommes de Guerre” or “Men of War,” specialized military vessels designed to carry more guns and ammunition than traditional seafaring vessels would, as well as the technological innovation of “the broadside cannon” to maximize the firepower of his new, “specialized” naval vessels. Although not possessing as nearly as venerable, or as prestigious a hereditary, dynastic, naval tradition such as those of Maison Gallois as the hereditary Counts of Poitiers, nor benefitting from a regional, military culture of naval professionalism, discipline, and skill at arms like that of The County of Poitiers based in the southern hemisphere of Le Royaume d’Aquitaine. Gustave Von Vlaanderen is irrefutably one the single, most brilliant military theorists of his age concerning the field of naval warfare and combat. Outside Maison Von Vlaanderen’s and The County of Flandres’ notable naval traditions. The feudal, aristocratic levies raised from The County of Flandres reflect the outrageous wealth, taste, and luxury of Maison Von Vlaanderen as the hereditary Counts of Flandres and the Viceroys of Nouvelle Aquitaine. The aristocratic and noble knights sworn into domestic, military homage to Maison Von Vlaanderen as The Counts of Flandres are notorious for generally sporting either some of the most baroque, gilded suits of full plate armour in all of Aquitaine, or Artificer quality coats of chainmail thickly and richly edged with gilded burnings. Often embellishing over their luxurious and sumptuous armours finely crafted surcoats and tabards made from the most premium and exotic silks imported from Nouvelle Aquitaine itself. While the matchlock musketeers levied from The County of Flanders, itself, are regularly issued richly dyed and elegantly crafted uniforms rivaling the quality and standards of those issued to The Royal Army of The Aquitanian Monarchs themselves. Even the poorest and least experienced pikemen serving the hereditary Counts of Flandres have ready access to chainmail hauberks and plate cuirasses, granting them, on average, superior protection and increased survivability compared to the pike-and-shotte infantry regiments of other feudal, aristocratic levies based in Le Royaume d’Aquitaine.

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.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of a group of people. Some are smiling at the camera, others have serious expressions. Either way, they all seem to be happy. On the right side, an older gentleman in glasses- Magnus Hirschfeld- is sitting. He has short hair and a bushy mustache. He is resting one hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him. His other hand is being held by a person to his left. Another person to his right is holding his shoulder.]

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.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of the May Nazi book burning of the Institute of Sexology's library. A soldier, back facing the camera, is throwing a stack of books into the fire. In the background of the right side, a crowd is watching.]

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?

Edit: Added image IDs. I apologize to those using screen readers for forgetting them. Please reblog this version instead.
