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.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of a group of people. Some are smiling at the camera, others have serious expressions. Either way, they all seem to be happy. 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.

White Stripe Asexual Pride Flag

White Stripe Asexual: an umbrella term for people within asexual community that is not necessarily asexual, although they may or may not be. Including questioning, traumatized, aromantics (that wish to be included), unlabeled, fluid/abro people, etc.

They aren't usually represented by grey/partial or black/null areas. It's the counterpart of black stripe asexual.

[shenaniganeryfromtheabyss]

some of y’all don’t fuckin know what you’re talking abt and i’m tired of it

this is a rant/vent cuz i’m tired of sm fuckin in-fighting and exclus bs when ik for a fuckin fact a lot of y’all don’t actually know what you’re talking abt. i bet you haven’t even looked into the terms you’re arguing against and just go w/ the bare-bones definitions smn gave you forever ago. if you’re not going to listen to other ppl telling you that you’re being an ass, at least let me give you the actual definitions of the terms.

---

Lesbian - queer attraction to women, usually exclusive but not always

Bisexual - attraction to two or more genders, w/ or w/out preference

Split Attraction Model (SAM) - model that differentiates attraction, most often used by aroace individuals but not exclusively

Bi-Lesbian - term for those who identify as both bi and a lesbian; for individuals who use SAM, being bisexual/biromantic and homoromantic/homosexual (lesbian); for lesbians who exp tertiary attraction (queerplat, aesthetic, etc)

---

“but that’s not what lesbian AcTuAlLy means, it’s non-men n non-men” not only does that definition exclude lesboys but it also lumps in non-binary ppl and puts us back into the gender binary, espec since ik a lot of y’all mfs only mean femme n afab non-binary ppl when you include us. tell me, a masc/androgynous non-binary person, that you would wholeheartedly accept me as a lesbian and not be absolutely full of shit. go on, i fucking dare you. also, you’re fuckin welcome for the free education, i included links so you can get more in-depth info abt them

okay, that’s it, i’m going to bed now cuz it’s been a day and this shit is tiring

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH

[transmasc-hope]

hey if anyone is questioning their gender/sexuality but are afraid to use a label because it might not be right, this is your sign to use that label. you're not betraying the community or invalidating anyone if it turns out to be wrong. you can switch labels how many times you want to and can identify any way you want to, even if it doesn't fit you perfectly. you're not hurting anyone by using labels to describe your experience.

you can be cis and nonbinary or trans and nonbinary or a bi lesbian or aroace and pan or a trans guy/girl and nonbinary or whatever. you can be a trans man/guy and a lesbian or a trans woman/girl and a gay guy. you can be aro and omniromantic or you can be ace and ply. you can use xenogenders and sexualities and you can use neopronouns. you can use any pronouns you want, yes even if you're cis. you can be polyamorous. you can be trans. you can be nonbinary. you can be anything you want to be.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!!

Madam kick ur ass here is ready to kick ass for us lol

[summywumny]

The more I see this, the more I roll my eyes. 

Cartoons have this weird tendency to act as though saying gay/girlfriend/boyfriend outright is “too blunt” or ”too obvious” with LGBTA+ couples. Hell, She-Ra did this. Our community acts as though slowburns and the term “partner”(or just holding hands) is some fine dine experience. In actuality, this representation is the equivalent of tossing a starved person a maggot infested porkchop. You guys still take it, which speaks. The more we treat “subtle” representation(this includes slowburns) like they’re the greatest things since sliced bread, the more showrunners do this. The worst part? These creators are one of us half the time. They can do good represenation, they just don’t bother. We deserve better than this. We’re here, we’re queer, and we’re not going away.

[mxjez]

Huh. I'll still go by asexual and aromatic because I prefer those terms, but I can't say these are inaccurate.

Neat! I recommend going through this chart. Found them from @acespec-ed here on Tumblr. I'll reblog too.

[ammy246]

Pornbots are extremely homophobic. I’m here for my gay otp, yet you are forcing me to look at heterosexual sex on my screen. I block them whenever I come across them, because they disgust me.

Introduction and Info!

I forgot to do one of these 😭

Hi I am Clover/Axi!

I am a standard depressed gay with anxiety!

Here is categorization!

-hyiac / -et / -net = made by me!

-ial = also made by me but is Gesneriad-in-nature (which i will explain below)

-eca = also made by me but is Polyhedral-in-nature (which i will also explain below)

-[any] = this is for requests, it just means I will use any suffix depending on the description.

-ety = short for etymology, used for Lingua-in-nature genders (explaination below)

Gesneriad-in-Nature

Gesneriad-in-nature (GSRIN) means your gender is directly/heavily connected with your clothing/fashion style, this can be aesthetic related, or just simply your gender reflects what you are wearing at different times, it can be either one!

Two examples of these are Jamial and Dottokial!

I made this term, so please do not copy it, or categorize your own genders under it unless you ask me to make it! :)

Polyhedral-in-Nature

Polyhedral-in-nature (PLHIN) means your gender is heavily/directly connected to shapes or objects with many sides, this can be on a molecular or just normal scale.

One example of this type of gender quality is Kaelioscopeca!

Once again, I made this term so please do not copy it, or categorize your own genders under it, unless you ask me to make it! :)

Lingua-in-Nature

Lingua-in-Nature (LNGIN) means your gender heavily relates to or is directly connected to a certain language-- this can be used as a fluid or one certain gender I made; This can be calligraphy, normal text, or the transliteration/IPA versions of said language.

There are currently no examples of this gender quality

Haha once again please do not copy it or submit xenogenders under it unless you message me about it or request me to make one.

--------

I will add more if I make more terms!!My tags that I will use in every post (which are also made by me) are:

#-ial

#-hyiac / #-et / #-net

#-eca

#-ety

I will use one of the two depending on which it is! THAT IS ALL! TOODLES!!

[beyond-mogai-pride-flags]

Asexualgender Pride Flag

Asexualgender, asexual gender, or asexual-gender: a descriptor for when someone uses the word asexual for their gender. Similar to acegender, but necessarily an orientationgender. It's under the asexuous umbrella.
