In 1933 Hitler's forces invaded the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (the leading centre of research on trans and gay people at that time) and burned all of the books and records (after taking care to note down the details of all the patients to round up later). Philosophically this is what the US CDC is now doing by purging everything to do with trans people.

I've seen a lot of US people are making copies of government information sites , trying to save helpful resources before they get erased/hidden.

See #whitehouseWash for more info.

@christineburns It is your duty as Americans to #resist with the force of arms. Buy and stockpile firearms, train your community to use them, and study guerrilla tactics and asymmetrical warfare. You’ll be needing them when they inevitably come for you, as all fascists do.

@christineburns With the twist that Hirschfeld was Jewish. For Hitler, being queer was not only bad in itself, it was a sign of "corruption" brought into their "master race" by the evil Jews.

Antisemitism and anti queer hate went hand in hand, and often still do.

@christineburns @onepict Yes, this. What the 47 administration is doing right now is EXACTLY book burning. It's a more direct throwback to fascism than even Musk's edgelording a Hitler salute.

This is why #LibraryRedAlert exists.

We want to work with librarians and archivists stateside to get books out before they start burning them.

We’ve got people in half a dozen safe countries that want to host works. We just need libraries that will work with us.

In the 1920s Weimar Germany was, if not hyper-liberal, one of the only places on the planet where an openly #gay Jew could help #trans people get gender-affirming healthcare.

By 1933, it was a fascist dictatorship. The camps opened the year after that.

Things turn around fast.
