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.

there goes my favorite drawing software ...

i defended their plans for the version2 and all, bc i didnt see much wrong with it and liked csp alot, but i guess i should have become a hater back then already

after that one big mistake that sparked so much outrage they really said but how can we actually lose EVERYONE, they saw deviantart doing it and thought BET I CAN DO IT FASTER

(they say they dont use user data but are basing it on stable diffusion of all things, they literally only ask people to think morally/ethically when using it to not use stolen stuff like thats ever worked with anything ever, plus "we cant guarantee that there will be no copyright infringement" OH YOU DONT SAY)

I still find it funny that people call eleven a "deadbeat husband" and their marriage "toxic" but twelve is the "perfect husband" and their marriage "wedded bliss" all because of the few moments we'd seen between 11 and River were them being "toxic". yes of course! let's ignore how the minisodes show how that description isn't true and even how little moments in the episodes themselves – "what? that's it?" (why haven't you kissed me goodbye? are you being sly on purpose so I'd kiss you first?) and "they wouldn't bury my wife out here" and the music room is the heart of the home and it's not a ghost story, it's a love story – show 11 cared and put in the work and yes, they're going to have disagreements like the ones in TATM because duh who doesn't but it does not mean it is the entirety of their relationship but people have taken it and made it the entirety of their relationship.

#doctorriver #doctor x river #river song #doctor who #eleventh doctor #the doctor #twelfth doctor #yowzah #eleven x river #can you tell i am passionate about this topic? no? yes? maybe? #i blink my eyes in confusion(?) the absurdity of it all(?) when i see 11 described as a deadbeat husband #do people still not understand that we only saw like 3% of their relationship? that we didn't see *everything*?? #i really have to post those damn wonderful twitter threads here #i thought i'd only be seeing those awful takes on twitter but hah no apparently not #and that other one saying river has no agency? river has no say in her life? river had been forced to keep her life as is? #that the doctor didn't exert that much effort for her the same way she did for him? i'm still trying to digest it tbh because what if i've #taken it the wrong way? but it came up again on my feed and it's still the same. damn. people really believe river had no agency? no choice #tia talks tish #dw musings

I want Capcom to keep the jokes on narumitsu but still make them canon

I want them to make the so slight chance of a few pixels in their models to have a ring

Specifically, the merch ones

And Phoenix to have Miles' and viceversa

And for it to never be mentioned on the games

It's just there and their usual interactions don't change at all

Except for a one off joke about what they're having for dinner

#ace attorney fanfic #ace attorney #aa #miles edgeworth #phoenix wright #wrigthworth #implied wrightworth #narumitsu #fr #i really think id be the best we could get too #like #we aint getting more and it hurts but damn #thisd be fun #imagine the usual hmophobes like #no #they obviosly arent married to each other #as if they had any significant relationship with a female that is not sibling like #or has been mention in less than a decade

Protecting MK with a costlmk

#I will take my SWK and Mei parallel crumbs thank you #Like. Getting attacked by the curse and throwing yourself in front of MK (to which there are consequences) and then getting separated #Using your power to protect the people you care about indeed #So they both do it for MK but MK does it for Wukong in 4x13 #And then what's the consequence? Going into Monkey Form #AND THEN. And then #If EAMK proves true and MK had a fucked up past life #We can then apply Azure's speech to MK: ''After all MK has put you through...'' #Let me have this. #My ''MK killed the pilgrims'' agenda continues #Damn originally I was going to go on a ''protecting MK at a cost'' rant for why the exchange theme will ruin our lives #But I really got side tracked there #Anyways: MK's one life against the world #lmk #lego monkie kid #lmk parallels #lmk SWK #lmk Mei #lmk theme: exchange #opening my third eye tonight #to protect the ones I care about

Fixing history using the power of editing and my editing skills!!

For today we have, New Titans (1980) Issue #100

✨ Wedding Special ✨

@robstarblog @robstaryeah pinging yall just in case so that this doesn't get lost in oblivion (It'd be painful since I worked 5 hours non stop on it lol)

I think the most time was taken by the final panel and adding in the finishing touches since I pretty much had to change everything to the pixel level, quite literally lol (I'm serious, I did)

Welp I hope the results were worth it! And with that, another one gets a good ending!!

I kinda didn't add sleeves in the first two panels of the final page because it didn't look good and looked janky with how I was editing it so yeah please ignore that-

#teen titans #robstar #dick grayson #koriand'r #starfire #dickkory #Changing history #using the power of editing and my own skills! #giving the good ending to characters who truly deserve it #it took me 5 hours to complete all the editing to the miniscule level #i paid attention to every detail to match each panel #it took a lot of effort but it was worth it!! #but damn man there have been so little dickkory content that I really had to search hard to get myself a suitable pic to edit out of #we have a lot barbara content with dick but barely much with Kori honestly #anw hope this is nice #self editing #also #Donot remove my watermark while reposting otherwise I'll consider it as stealing >:( #dont steal #that damn priest took so much time to edit like holy cow #I really went above and beyond to get all the details right and consistent throughout #I let my perfectionist nature manifest #but yea #now Dick and Kori can have an uninterrupted happy wedding <3 #im so happy #I may try another one of these fixie thingies if I find anything^^ #this was really fun to work on #i fixed canon #but fuck the actual canon #cuz most comic writers cant even do just one job right

[thedevotionaltour]

genuinely fucking embarrassing for aaron kuder as well as everyone who looked over the art and approved it to have continuously drawn the incorrect cane for matt. like honestly shameful as an artist. you couldn't do your basic research task on a white cane? to ensure you were drawing the correct aid for matt to use? it's further embarrassing when in issues four and five matt does have one because germán peralta and farid karami, you know, did their basic job as artists of making sure matt had the correct cane. if nothing else look at any comic from recent time and you would know matt has a white cane. this isn't the 1960s. this is not difficult. this is highly shameful on kuder's end and im not going to be nice and just say it's disappointing. i find it correct to call it embarrassing and frustrating. it is your basic task as an artist to research your references for character props. if you can make sure your cars and apartment buildings and costumes are correct you can take five seconds to make sure this is correct too. if you can draw matt's billy club correct you can draw this correct too. there is no excuse.

#static.soundz #like when it is only kuder working on the art it is like this. i skimmed through to make sure i wasnt being stupid. #and bc those other two issues he had the white can i cant find it in myself to believe there is a good intentional reason for this #and if there is. well it better be damn fucking good. bc i dont get it. #especially considering we have had rivera's wonderfully done cane as billy club for matt. like we know how to work all these things together #and if you want them as separate items well again. not fucking haaard. so i really see no good reason for this #outside of a pure intentional ignorance.

i’m so sorry if i seem a bit off or post less in the next week or so — i just found out my beloved 17 years old soulmate cat got diagnosed with bone cancer and he doesn’t have much time left. he lives in my family home with my parents still whilst i’m abroad so it’s double tough because i can’t be with him. i just need some time to calm down and make my peace with everything

#vic.txt #i’m just so damn sad he’s my most beloved boy i got him when i was fucking 7 #we grew up together i cried with him i laughed with him he’s been my companion my number one boy for my entire life #i know it’s silly like yeah it’s a cat not a human being but we formed such a strong bond #when i had c0vid last year he lied with me all day all night #i love him i love him i’m so fucking mad at the universe he does not deserve this fate #and he’s so old the treatment isn’t really an option #he’s fine now he isn’t in pain but as soon as his cancer progresses he will have to be put down so he doesn’t suffer for nothing #i just want to be with him when that happens i want him to know he’s not alone and that i love him very much #txt #tw: animal death #tw: animal sickness

Here’s a sort of…. Prompt? Headcanon? Idea?? For Danny Phantom.

Let’s go with the,, semi-fanon idea of cores. We see the Far Frozen with ice powers, with their whole little civilization. They are ALSO the only ghosts we see that have any medical knowledge.

So what if ghosts with ice cores had healing powers? Danny is very durable, but he also (probably) has advanced healing.

Idk, it’d be a fun possibility to explore Danny ‘plays as a tank in irl superheroics 4 times out of 5’ Phantom finding out he can heal people while doing a school-mandated cpr class.

#danny phantom #dp #bonus points if it’s just shy of necromancy but that might be a different turn #did my school do mandated cpr training? no. but we did do mandated self defense training so. I imagine it’s possible #I have made a story or two where Danny had healing powers #but up to you how they work #and technically the way I made them in this one story was an indirect use of two different powers #I can explain if someone is SUPER curious but this particular. prompt? is like #him DIRECTLY having healing powers #he’s just hovering his hands and lil glowy snowflakes start drifting down and healing the person #Tucker is like Oh Hey This Means I’ll Just Go To Danny For Medical Stuff #the b plot is getting Tucker to get his damn shots… cartoon logic says somehow he gets them done at the vet #it just popped into my head you don’t gotta do that lol #Sam meanwhile is like. hm. homeopathy bc she’s not. AGAINST doctors and medical schools per se #but she’s protesting something or another about them #probably concerns about medical mistreatment #meanwhile Danny is like I Did Not Agree To Be The Medic! #he’s played video games okay HE KNOWS HOW THAT GOES DOWN. #…. I also really like battle and field medics in general in fiction so this is me and my blatant attempts for More Of That #feel free to crossover but just by itself it seems fun :3
