One of, if not the first major book burning in Nazi Germany occured on May 6th, 1933, at the Institute of Sexology, a foundation known for their advocacy for transgender and homosexual equality.

"Trans people didn't exist in the past."

You literally destroyed our history to perpetuate this myth. We'll never erase your history, just show how it was a lie undeserving of respect.

When you're on the right side of history it's better to leave history intact. It shows what you had to fight. When you're on the wrong side you need it destroyed, so people don't realize how bad you are.

5 years ago...

5 years ago was 2019, that statement is equally funny as it is horrifying

It makes me feel icky to type it out... The terms "tranny" and "transvestite" were very common nomenclature in the 90s. In conversation, movies, television. Trans people were often a punchline. And absolutely existed.

Transvestite, I believe, is also a term applied to intersex persons as well, as far as I know.... At least historically.

The condition of being intersex, as far as I'm aware, is a well known condition dating back really far.

Those people truly have no gender (and/or they're both genders? IDK), so "trans" doesn't really apply to them IMO.

People used to use hermaphrodite as a slur not that long ago for intersex people, as well.
