      Book burning is incorrectly thrown out as a form of censorship and a hallmark of fascism by many people.

      Many authoritarian systems practice such censorship, but it is often ascribed to Nazis.

      The Nazis did burn books. But most people don't know what the most famous incident was.

      Goebbels spoke before 40,000 spectators as the libraries of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft were burned.

      These libraries contained the sum of all modern knowledge of transgender people. This knowledge has still not been reclaimed.

          We have the technology to make this never happen again. But we won't spend the money to rebuild that knowledge.

          It's left to the people like us to collect our records and tell our stories, shouting them into the wind until they are heard.

          By yet to be reclaimed are you implying there's some knowledge they had that we haven't since rediscovered? Seems unlikely. Though possible.

          Yes, that is precisely what I mean. There has been very little research done in transgender medicine since then for many reasons.

          Trans people were marginalized after the war and made taboo with few exceptions. We are still clawing out of a 40 year legacy of falsehood

          created by Harry Benjamin. Most research now is funded by AIDS grants. There is no medical concensus on HRT dosing.

          Because blanket trans exclusions are common and legal for insurance companies, our providers cannot use F64.1 as a diagnosis code.

          Therefore there is no simple body of epidemiological research. Literally everything is ad hoc and mired in post-war stigma.

          We're getting there, both in terms of medical and social science. But IfW was doing longitudinal studies.

          met in public. There was public debate of same-sex marriage. Some trans women had special licenses to "dress in drag" (which was illegal).
