Why am I here who summoned me

There's a myth repeated by both the left and right that we don't have records of what Nazis destroyed in the book burnings. Historians know some but not all of the literature. Much of it discussed queer/trans issues. Here are some examples of what Nazis didn't want you to know:

Among the most impactful transgender books Nazis burned was Magnus Hirschfeld's 1910 Die Transvestiten. The book focused on the history and politics of transgender people. Thankfully, it was a bestseller and original copies existed outside Germany. transreads.org/dietransvestiten2/

Some texts were permanently lost during Nazi book burnings. The Institute for Sexual Science held singular copies of trans medical records and surgical techniques. Nazis famously destroyed Karl Baer's files. Baer was among the first trans/intersex people to get medical treatment. His 1907 autobiography, Memoirs of a Man's Maiden Years, thankfully survived. It is available in English at transreads.org/a-mans-maiden-years

We will never recover many texts Nazis destroyed. Felix Abraham, Richard Muhsam, & Ludwig Levy-Lenz's now-lost writings on gender-affirming medicine would have helped drastically improve care. Some of their research survived, but we do not know the extent of their lost techniques.

Nazis burned Magnus Hirschfeld's 5-volume Geschlechtskunde ("Sex Studies"). It included lengthy descriptions of the history, politics, and treatment of queer/trans people. A few copies still exist, including this gorgeous print of the illustrated Volume 4 I saw in the New York Public Library archives.

Nazis didn't only destroy books but also films, photographs, and 3D ephemera like sculptures. They burned copies of many important queer/trans films, including Different from the Others (now partially restored) and an adaptation of Karl Baer's autobiography, A Man’s Girlhood (fully lost).

It wasn't until fansly wholesale banned furry nsfw of any kind, including anthro, with the reasoning being that it's "simulated bestiality" that it received heavier backlash.

Cause the best smiles and hugs and facial expression were really all for Steve. Nobody else mattered.

In the future when Tony or Sam ask about Howard’s flying car that famously shat itself on stage and Bucky was there, right? So what was it like?

*doom music starts to play* I actually kindof like scheduling these kinds of appointments now...

but seriously Fellas, don't forget to schedule a pap smear every couple of years just in case. If you still have a cervix you can still get cervical cancer. ilu

it'd be a shame if this...
