She's denying that nazis committed genocidal actions against trans people during the holocaust.
I get that that may not matter to you, but that is incredibly important to me. I cannot ignore when someone is trying to claim that trans people like me were not victims of the holocaust. I cannot ignore genocide denial. She has a real effect on politics and public opinion. It is very important that she be called out for her words and actions.
Maybe it's just me, but she said "Nazis did not persecute trans people."
Do you have evidence showing that Nazis specifically targeted trans people? If I had to guess, I'd wager they didn't even consider "trans" to be a thing. They probably just lumped them in with the other "queers."
I'm not responsible for you or JK Rowling being ignorant on history.
Good place to start. They absolutely considered trans people to be a thing and specifically targeted trans people as part of the holocaust and in their propaganda. They demonized Magnus Hirschfield as being a pedophile and corrupting the natural order of man and woman. They appealed to eugenicist mothers by saying that the influence of his clinic would cause their children to be trans and therefore subhuman.
Magnus was a gay jewish man. He was a pioneering figure in transgender rights. Lili Elbe, the Danish woman, received vaginoplasty and a womb transplant at his institute for sexology. She wasn't the first person to receive it there. Trans women were prescribed hormones there in very early hormone therapy regimens.
They'd be around to tell you about it but they were sent to concentration camps and even if they survived that the allied occupation forces all also had laws that persecuted trans people. Many were forced into the closet to survive.
Stop denying genocide against us. You are literally doing the thing we're all here to talk about. Stop denying my history.
