I've talked about this in smaller contexts, but I haven't found any traction and time is getting short. When the Nazis passed the enabling laws for the book burning on April 8th, 1933 — exactly 90 years ago in 34 days — the first thing they burnt, the same day, were the archives of the largest trans and gay research institute in the world. When they say now that we didn't exist until after the war, the only reason they can get away with it is that they burned all the accumulated evidence.

watching American fascism consolidate itself by mainstreaming trans eradication and every single day I think about what happened to the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, how it was one of the first things the Nazis went after, an easy target, followed by others. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institut_für_Sexualwissenschaft

@dymaxion: Even worse, while the Nazis burnt the science, they also made sure to steal the register of issued Transvestitenausweise, and use that to round up, imprison, and murder trans people.
