#I didn't mind some of the changes

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.
#transgender#trans history#transsexual#transphobia#Magnus Hirschfeld#holocaust#holocaust denial#book burning#j.k. rowling#jk rowling#just in case you missed what i mean by all this: go fuck yourself anon :)#trans people have always existed#and we will always exist#if you really wanna pick a fight with me over well-documented history then you better bring in some sources to back your shit#queer history#queer#lgbt+#lgbta+#lgbt#lgbt history#edit: i finally got around to those damn image IDs. i am so very sorry for totally forgetting that's my bimbo moment of the month#also real quick i thought about adding an image of the actual building but the only one i can find has a Nazi parade in front of it#it was taken the day of the book burning raid and honestly if i were to include it then i'd add it to the first few paragraphs#and i think the story's better told when you uphold the hope Magnus Hirschfeld and all the researchers he worked with had#also keeps being brought up: yes Hirschfeld was a eugenicist. it was a popular belief set that was only discredited after WW2#Hirschfeld died in 1935. he literally didn't live long enough to see science turn against those beliefs and practices#considering how he changed his mind on transitions i like to think he would've changed his mind on eugenics too if he'd lived

Fans of Casper's local alt rock station, 99.9 The Vortex, will be delighted to learn that the station has expanded its music selection.
"We've more than doubled the size of our digital library," said Siggi, station manager of The Vortex. When asked to comment on what listeners can expect, they replied, "The favorites are still there—for the most part. People will just be hearing more variation whenever they tune in." Siggi went on to state, "It's a welcome change in my opinion and I'm sure our listeners will be happy with the additions. Also, why do you care about this? This isn't really a story. Nothing of note has happened here. Radio stations do this all the time."
Well, Siggi, we beg to disagree.
Anyways, back to you in the studio!
Translation: Zorlok's spotify playlist has been updated. Listen here:
#i may make a few changes in the coming days#we'll see what the yogurt reveals to me#or no#i mean... i still have some potential songs to work my way through#not the yogurt thing...#(yes i am still exhausted and losing my mind)#(hope you didn't expect that to change)#spotify#playlist

happy 2nd mighty nein finale anniversary everyone and don't forget molly is alive 😌💜💜💜
#am i still bitter about the fact that the fandom collectively missed and ignored that king is actually molly? perhaps#there were some shitty petty betties that made it impossible to mourn the change/outcome so most molly fans either quit or#just put their feelings in a box and didn't look at them again#why did we all look at that liar actor of a tiefling and say 'oh he says he's not molly so it must be true' lmao#plssss surface readings of complex unreliable narrators drive me nuts#anyway#don't mind me i'll always be here in my corner ranting and raving about Him LOL#mollymauk#kingsley#critical role#mighty nein#mollymauk tealeaf#critical role campaign 2#cr 2#c2#glossopost

That isn't human. One of you put it out of its misery.
#tamora monroe#nolan holloway#teen wolf#teenwolfedit#twedit#scenes that i rotate in my mind over and over#like we already knew nolan was NAWT meant to be a hunter but this just proves it so hard#he can't make that leap to dehumanization#even when he stabbed corey in the hand he still referred to him when he said i wonder if any of US have changed#and with jiang he didn't even see him as some horrible monster#just as his childhood friend who's changed into something he didn't recognize#feeling so normal about him as always#mine

Why do you somehow think that your words are an objective fact?
(BTW; I have watched your critique of Helluva Boss: The Circus. And I still say it was a bad take and a bad critique. And no amount of "criticism" is gonna change that.)
#if you think the circus episode is good then that's on you man... oof#theres a lot of criticism i left out of that video that i didn't catch later#like the screwed up episode timeline that i discovered#and the poor voice direction#like how blitzo and stolas kids just laugh randomly after staring at a chandelier for some reason#and at the end under the tree#stolas and blitzo legit start laughing like yandere anime girls#you guys didnt say anything funny!!! why are you laughing?????? this is so awkward!#blitzo getting butthurt that he is stolass plaything from the last episode is rendered completely useless and nonsensical after this episod#no amount of simping for helluva boss is gonna change my mind that helluva boss's writing is getting messier the more episodes that release#i mean why do you think YOUR words are an objective fact?#theres just so much to unpack after the circus episode#it messed up everything#helluva boss#stolas#stella helluva boss#stolas helluva boss#octavia helluva boss#blitzo#blitzo helluva boss#ask#octavia's existence is useless#blitzo isnt in love with stolas#and stella is jsut the personification of evil for some reason#and stolas is a weak baby#how did we get here#viv why did you do this! this episode didn't need to exist

Weapons!
They're still a work in progress but so far we have:
Cosmic lasso for Cassie
Shadow staff for Tim
Skybat for Kon
Lightsaber for Bart (he can't control the energy properly yet so it's more of a lightning sword atm)
#Magical Justice AU#young justice#dc#vampiregokudera#wonderfam#cassandra sandsmark#batfam#tim drake#superfam#conner kent#kon el#flashfam#bart allen#Cassie was the first one i drew and i didn't have a plan then so she looks the least detailed and properly drawn out of everyone rip#i just wanted to draw her menacingly holding her lasso TT how did it spiral out of control so quickly?!?#and don't mind that Kon's on two pages ^^; it's poor space planning on my part#anyway weapons are an important part of the magical girl genre#tho i might change some designs later#like Tim's staff looks too plain atm imo and so does the hilt of Bart's lightsaber#skybat is my fave#and can't rly do much for a lasso...#also Kon and Bart look like they're passing a ball (or something) between eachother and i love that :D#and Cassie's pose is the only one i didn't use reference for too TT very sadge. i'll do better next time

for me personally i kind of like the idea that the only time louis and daniel before now was the night of the original interview.
to me the interesting thing about their dynamic (and part of what makes it romantic) is the weird way you can confide in a stranger things you can't tell people who are actually a part of your life - like the contrast between this person not knowing you and all yet somehow you're telling them your darkest secrets, and they're seeing through your bullshit in a way people who know you don't (or maybe do but won't vocalize). and yeah it's a combination of chance and luck, but there's also a genuine connection that makes this stranger the one you choose to talk to out all the other strangers you come across.
and the idea that maybe that moment, that bond, could be so strong it could pick right up many decades later compels me. there's an intimacy to like, a past relationship, obviously, but i think there's also an intimacy that comes from knowing 'i only spoke to this person once but i never stopped thinking about them and maybe they never stopped thinking about me?' but you hooked up once or only had one conversation and you talk yourself down say be realistic because it was so brief and so long ago you, how could you not be blowing this out of proportion, but then you meet again and it hits you all over again like a ton of bricks.
#kaitlin speaks#i love eternal sunshine type plots so i get the appeal#but to me the appeal of that is like a story about how you can't take back intimacy#and no matter how many times you leave it's never going to change the way being there shaped you.#but to me d/l is like... the way your mind returns to someone you never got to be with#and the mixture of longing and like wondering if you're just romanticizing bc it didn't happen and ships in the night of it all#so all that to say i am open to whatever (bc tbh i do think there is some daniel memory plot line and in a lot of ways that's exciting)#but i actually think there's something special about the idea of their one night maybe being it and yet still impacting him so deeply#and if/when that element goes i'll miss it. i'm only this sappy about fiction i swear lol#their dynamic is like inverse of le/a where they have this connection and they hate it but also play it up and define themselves by it#but d/l they're in denial and don't want to admit their experience was as intense as it was#iwtv#danlou#this might only make sense to me lol

all i'll say about Noah's video is that i think it's weird people are calling it a "bad apology", because it's not even an apology video. the only thing he says is that his opinions have been misconstrued and that he doesn't want people to die, which, yeah, he already said before. there's no sorry, from the video alone you wouldn't even know if he's aware of what he did that made people turn on him so fast in the first place
i know the norm nowadays is to call any response to an issue/a situation an "apology" but sometimes it's just a statement, which is what this is. if he was genuinely "apologizing" he'd have to address the actual things he did, like keep misinformation up, even after it's been disproven and worst of all the "zionism is sexy" thing. what he's doing is just cautious backpeddling by saying everyone got him wrong. just a pretty obvious pr nothing-statement sadly
#seen some people say to watch his 'apology' and just... why are you calling it that#he only doubles down on not wanting anyone to die which is something he's already said before#i didn't expect him to actually reflect and do a 180 in a few months so i'm not surprised#if he ever does change his mind i'd expect it to take a few years at least#but well... just seems like a damage control press statement he's making because of ST production starting up again#my opinion on it in case you're curious#but also obligatory holy shit it's tiring to see people immediately jump to wishing death and disgusting things on him and his family#unproductive as hell#posting online about how much you want a celebrity with a shit moral complex to get hit by a car or something is Still not activism#shockingly#so nothing's changed essentially#that 1 minute video really did nothing who would have thought
