I just… how? How did you type this out and press send without thinking ‘I should maybe check my source for this, because it might’ve been a fever dream’?
@jk_rowling They did though, google Magnus Hirschfield.
@figar0h I know all about Hischfield. Are you sure you want to make him a poster boy for trans medicine? The man who believed in sterilisation of the unfit?
OptimisteSansEspoir@Optimiste_sans@JKrowling You have certainly delighted the Jew-hating crowd, not that that's difficult; they are beside themselves with glee that someone with your standing has vilified a great man who happened to be a German Jewish Doctor. Please read about the life and work of Magnus Hirschfeld encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/art…… via@HolocaustMuseum
@jk_rowling @figar0h Hirschfeld was one of the first theorists to promote the concept that a wide variety of gender identities exists He coined the word “Transvestit" as a medical and scientific term in 1910. He founded the Institute for Sexual Science, first of its kind in the world.
@jk_rowling @figar0h Your argument becomes invalid when you deliberately change the focus to "oh but he was such a bad person". It doesn't take away the fact that this happened. And you're denying it.
This is where these delusions lead them. Facism was largely founded on the principles of racism (the very first use of the term to define different ethnic origins/skin colour within the one human race) by the trendy American eugenicist movement of the twenties/thirties. Ironically, of course, each one of the nutters in this thread would have been labelled either Grade 3 Moron or more likely Grade 4 Imbecile. Personally I prefer the term Muppet as it seems to lessen the offence they display when accurately identified and doesn’t rebound on me quite so intensely. Muppets. TransMuppets.
@jk_rowling @figar0h And again, trashing the subject’s character instead of addressing the claim.
@jk_rowling @figar0h No one is defending everything he did, just as no one can defend everything you have done, or I have done. We are pointing out that you claim is not true. Moving the goalpost does not make it less true.
@jk_rowling @figar0h Yes Joanne. The holocaust was actually about trans people all along. The whole "kill all the gays and jews, and gypsies, and slaavs" thing was just a side note, trans people were the real victims, and they will never miss an opportunity to remind us how a clinic got burned down.
@jk_rowling @figar0h Instant deflection So you know that the Nazis burned research into trans healthcare and just lied with your original post?
@jk_rowling @figar0h You know so much about him, you can't even spell his name. Anyways, here's his actual history from the Holocaust Museum. encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/art…
@jk_rowling @figar0h You spelt his name wrong and then moved the goal post again
