"Destruction of Institutions and Erasure of History Upon seizing power in 1933, the Nazis targeted the vibrant trans community in Weimar Germany by shutting down safe spaces like the Eldorado nightclub and raiding the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (Institute for Sexual Science). Led by Magnus Hirschfeld, this institute pioneered early gender-affirming surgeries and trans rights advocacy; its library was burned by Nazi students, destroying decades of medical records and research in an act of "memoricide."
Legal Persecution and Concentration Camps The regime revoked the "transvestite certificates" that had previously allowed some trans people to live openly, leading to widespread arrests. Trans women were often prosecuted under Paragraph 175 (criminalizing homosexuality) or Paragraph 183 (public indecency/cross-dressing), while trans men faced harassment and forced detransition. Many were sent to concentration camps such as Buchenwald and Mauthausen, where they were subjected to forced castration, torture, and murder; notable victims include trans women Liddy Bacroff and H. Bode. "
Nazis still doing Nazi stuff.
Anyone in the government could get rid of these things whenever they wanted, IF THEY WANTED TO
And when the allied forces liberated the camps, they forced the gay and trans people to stay in the camps.
America never had a problem with the nazi genocide. They just kind of half-thought the nazis took it "too far" and genocided a few too many types of people. Then the Japanese stupidly attacked them.
Can you imagine being in one of those death cmps, little more than bone and skin, sleeping and waking in the horror of rotting flesh and sorrow that is your whole world. And then, liberators show up! They've got guns! They're killing nazis! You hear the screams and the cries of your captors!
You see a crowd of prisoners being welcomed, blanketed, given fresh water and food. You walk up, tears streaming down your face, you have finally let yourself succumb to the truth that your torture is over. After watching everyone you ever cared for die, inexplicably, here you are, alive and safe.
You shuffle up to the people you know you will be forever grateful to, using the last of your physical and emotional strength. The man looks at you and smiles. Then he glances at the patch on your tattered clothes and his face sours.
He pushes you down. "Not you f@&&#+! Get back in there and fucking die. Disgusting!"
Insane to compare ALL Americans to what is going on right now. You know very well that the MAJORITY of Americans want equal rights for trans people as evidence by our laws and media which has been under constant attack by the enemy
I never said any of that. If you could quote me, that would be great.
Since you seem to really need to talk about all that though, your sudden jump to wildly defend against your own strawman in such an exaggerated performance makes it seem like you don't really believe anything you said.
While you're wishing for all that to be true, you better be preparing for it to not be true as well. For your own safety and that of those you care for.
Two sentences is not an "exaggerated performance"
Here is your quote, "America never had a problem with the nazi genocide."
Apologies if I misunderstood your point then. Which was nothing, I guess
Thanks for the quote where I mentioned that American leadership in the 1930's had no problems with nazi race theory and genocide, a well documented fact.
Now could you show how that says all Americans support what America is currently doing?
Still pointing that fire at me instead of someplace constructive. Which, if you need me to be your lil punchingbag so you can be constructive later, I'm game. Don't wear yourself out on me before you get to something that'll help you though.
Not American leadership
"America never had a problem with the nazi genocide. They just kind of half-thought the nazis took it “too far” and genocided a few too many types of people. Then the Japanese stupidly attacked them."
It's "America" and "they"
