A place for all those who hate the transphobic, anti-rights funder J.K. Rowling

On Wednesday, JK Rowling implied that Nazis never targeted trans people in Germany, calling it "a fever dream." She doubled down when challenged with sources showing trans persecution in Nazi Germany.

She lived long enough to be her own Voldemort

This article is over two years old. It doesn't mean JK Rowling is any less vile and hateful, but it's also not a new development for her.

And? This is for hating on JK, it’s not for up to date news on her.

I'd say a note that the news wasn't from this Wednesday in the snippet would be a good idea. It's a bit confusing on its own.

This isn't a news community.

Ah yes, everyone knows Nazis hated Jews only not that they hated everyone that didn’t look like them.

Nazis put threats and scapegoats in the camps. Political opposition, threats. Jews, homosexuals, trans (though I doubt they called them that in broad terms) were scapegoats. The upper echelons knew what narrative to push and how to keep it going. The culture wars were how it was sold to the general public.

All she would have to do is read some history books. Shit, this is probably easily extrapolated from Wikipedia if it isn't spelled out explicitly.

And for those who weren’t already aware, one of the most famous book burning photograph is from the raid on The Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (English: Institute for Sexual Science)

From wiki:

It pioneered research and treatment for various matters regarding gender and sexuality, including gaytransgender, and intersex topics.
