One thing I actually really liked about The Crystal Skull, despite all its issues, was Indy’s complete disillusionment with the US Government, and how it is implied it’s not only due to the rising anti-communist bullshit, but all the stuff he saw about what the US would actually do with anything it got its grubby huge imperialist mitts on during WWII. The atom bomb being the biggest and most utterly horrifying, ofc, but it is implied there were plenty of others.

What I’m saying is that we deserve a series about Indy et al working undercover during WWII to deal with, steal and destroy the various occult horrors the Nazis stole and are attempting to use as the war goes against them, and how he realises the Allied governments, esp the US, are not actually safe hands to put them in either.

Maybe a lot of that is in flashback while in 1960s or 1970s he helps someone like Simon Weithenstal hunt down a Nazi in South America who is on the trail of some occult artefact he thinks could be used to restore the Reich? And running into CIA-led US imperialism while he’s there?

It would need to be incredibly well-written, and probably actively anti-Zionist too, but I think it could be absolutely incredible.

Though honestly about the only person I’d trust to write it would be Ruthanna Emrys, given their *superb*, *note-perfect* take on the Cthulhu Mythos in The Innsmouth Legacy books.

Rowling isn't denying holocaust. She just pointed out that burning of transgender health books is a lie as that form of cosmetic surgery didn't exist. But of course you knew that already, didn't you?

I was thinking I'd probably see one of you! You're wrong :) Let's review the history a bit, shall we?

In this case, what we're talking about is the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, or in English, The Institute of Sexology. This Institute was founded and headed by a gay Jewish sexologist named Magnus Hirschfeld. It was founded in July of 1919 as the first sexology research clinic in the world, and was run as a private, non-profit clinic. Hirschfeld and the researchers who worked there would give out consultations, medical advice, and even treatments for free to their poorer clientele, as well as give thousands of lectures and build a unique library full of books on gender, sexuality, and eroticism. Of course, being a gay man, Hirschfeld focused a lot on the gay community and proving that homosexuality was natural and could not be "cured".

Hirschfeld was unique in his time because he believed that nobody's gender was either one or the other. Rather, he contended that everyone is a mixture of both male and female, with every individual having their own unique mix of traits.

This leads into the Institute's work with transgender patients. Hirschfeld was actually the one to coin the term "transsexual" in 1923, though this word didn't become popular phrasing until 30 years later when Harry Benjamin began expanding his research (I'll just be shortening it to trans for this brief overview.) For the Institute, their revolutionary work with gay men eventually began to attract other members of the LGBTA+, including of course trans people.

Contrary to what Anon says, sex reassignment surgery was first tested in 1912. It'd already being used on humans throughout Europe during the 1920's by the time a doctor at the Institute named Ludwig Levy-Lenz began performing it on patients in 1931. Hirschfeld was at first opposed, but he came around quickly because it lowered the rate of suicide among their trans patients. Not only was reassignment performed at the Institute, but both facial feminization and facial masculization surgery were also done.

The Institute employed some of these patients, gave them therapy to help with other issues, even gave some of the mentioned surgeries for free to this who could not afford it! They spoke out on their behalf to the public, even getting Berlin police to help them create "transvestite passes" to allow people to dress however they wanted without the threat of being arrested. They worked together to fight the law, including trying to strike down Paragraph 175, which made it illegal to be homosexual. The picture below is from their holiday party, Magnus Hirschfeld being the gentleman on the right with the fabulous mustache. Many of the other people in this photo are transgender.

On the right side, an older gentleman in glasses- Magnus Hirschfeld- is sitting. He has short hair and a bushy mustache. He is resting one hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him. His other hand is being held by a person to his left. Another person to his right is holding his shoulder.]

There was always push back against the Institute, especially from conservatives who saw all of this as a bad thing. But conservatism can't stop progress without destroying it. They weren't willing to go that far for a good while. It all ended in March of 1933, when a new Chancellor was elected. The Nazis did not like homosexuals for several reasons. Chief among them, we break the boundaries of "normal" society. Shortly after the election, on May 6th, the book burnings began. The Jewish, gay, and obviously liberal Magnus Hirschfeld and his library of boundary-breaking literature was one of the very first targets. Thankfully, Hirschfeld was spared by virtue of being in Paris at the time (he would die in 1935, before the Nazis were able to invade France). His library wasn't so lucky.

This famous picture of the book burnings was taken after the Institute of Sexology had been raided. That's their books. Literature on so much about sexuality, eroticism, and gender, yes including their new work on trans people. This is the trans community's Alexandria. We're incredibly lucky that enough of it survived for Harry Benjamin and everyone who came after him was able to build on the Institute's work.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of the May Nazi book burning of the Institute of Sexology's library. A soldier, back facing the camera, is throwing a stack of books into the fire. In the background of the right side, a crowd is watching.]

As the Holocaust went on, the homosexuals of Germany became a targeted group. This did include transgender people, no matter what you say. To deny this reality is Holocaust denial. JK Rowling and everyone else who tries to pretend like this isn't reality is participating in that evil. You're agreeing with the Nazis.

But of course, you knew that already, didn't you?

Edit: Added image IDs. I apologize to those using screen readers for forgetting them. Please reblog this version instead.

Go LEFT

[devileaterjaek]

If my aiming is shit it's because I'm using face button aiming because this is a PSP first person shooter.

(It's way better than you'd think)

Dr. Hirschfeld was based af. If only his research hadn't been burned down by nazis, maybe we'd have been in a vastly more progressive world by now

Here's his wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_Hirschfeld

I am in pain

Another clickbait? Yeah! So I am 21 and am reumatic. How? Well, shitty genes and poor health awareness while im was younger. Remember - I am polish, it looks a little bit different to west.

So since i was 15 i have discovered that my joints are shitty. Especially wrists, ESPECIALLY IN MY LEFT HAND WHICH I MAINLY USE!

I remember playing piano, and actually suffering while using my left hand. My teacher was a great lady (she owes me some tea talk time!) and called my parents. At first I was called a fraud, because “I saw you use that hand every day and NOTHING was wring! You;re just lazy”.

And then imagine my mother’s face when x-ray reveals my wrist is reumatic! And then imagine my friend in middle school seeing me next day with elastic bandage and freaking out, what might have happened!

He later used it himself while playing voleyball andit was a good bonding experience to us And an excuse to not do any PE which i hated at that time due to social preassure.

So yeah, i am in pain, it will get worse as years go by, and I’m talking about it on tumblr.

Don;t forget to pet your cat and drink some tea for fucks sake!

Well this morning my dad was cooking candy and was being a pain about not opening the back door. (Humidity and shit) And then he said "I'm a Nazi." I had to stop myself from laughing because, like, yes you're correct sir. I'm glad you at least acknowledge it now instead of thinking you're the savior of Americs.

To all the communist transvestites, VOTE👏VON👏HINDENBURG👏

I'm just as radical as you; I'm a proud member of the great Social Democratic Party of Germany! I don't know what the crazy communists are telling you, but Paul von Hindenburg is our only hope to defeat the Nazis. After we elect him, then we can discuss other politics, but this is the BARE MINIMUM, and if you don't vote for him, you clearly have this crazy purity test that'll bring us all to fascism.

I know you might be worried about his "senility" and "failing health", and I know you may not like him because of his push to the right, and I know you may be worried about the brownshirts, and the recent persecution of Dr. Hirschfeld and his work, and maybe you STILL haven't gotten over the whole Rosa Luxemburg stuff,

but none of that really matters! We need to keep the SPD in power, or else Hitler will get in charge! This is the most important and most basic thing you could do to help Germany stay a democracy. In 6 years, then maybe we can find a better candidate, but no matter what you think about von Hindenburg, he's the best shot we have at keeping the fascists out of power. We can totally push him left!

Any vote against von Hindenburg is a vote for Hitler. #Hindenburg1932
