I can mute if it's what I want. But what I want, is make people aware of the specific histories and that Nazism and the Holocaust is not an oppression scale but something we still live with. That it is not the only place where oppression is born of and to just be generally more aware of history and the oppressions in different countries.
You can chose not to change what you say. That's your choice.
My point is that's dangerous to have this discourse and they work on ignorance. You may disagree. But it's not by blocking that the existence of those discourse will disappear. It may change a bit if people are better aware of history.
As to Germany before Nazism, yes despite having paragraph 175 from the german empire from before WW1 , Berlin specifically was the epicenter of queer life, with many underground bars linked to the mafia, but also publications Like drittes Geschlecht which is a transvestiten Magazin. There was also the Institut fur sexualwissenschaften that delivered medical proof of trans to be able to change sex and who performed surgerys. This was an archive of LGBT life. with 5 out of 6 doctors who were gay Jewish people and who build this. Again, that institute was burned down during an attack in Jewish intellectuals. And then Jewish LGBT people fled Germany early, I guess being at this intersection kind of saved the life of many who saw very fast which turns it was taking, and for example Charlotte Wolf who is among the first theoriser of bisexuality fled. Let's not forget how much queer history is linked to jewish people and history. And let's definitely not forget the lives of people at this specific intersection. Let's not whitewash that too. So yes, specifically the Nuremberg laws were racial segregation laws. And specifically official segregation laws were still in the US until the end of the 1960's if I am not mistaken. And yes specifically at the same time in the US there were also crossdressing bans. And yes oppressions are related but different, and also oppressive people from one country to another are related. But if you chose to look at Nazi Germany. You are using Nazism as a scale, and I think that is both dehumanizing for the victims (direct and indirect) who are still living and to the rights of the people living now and everywhere as it continues to avoid the accountability of all the other countries for the same oppressions and other oppressions.
You may disagree with that.
I just share my point and knowledge. But chosing to not look up at the history and specificities of oppressions of each group in each context does not make the truth regarding that less true. And equating the interdiction of crossdressing in mongana to the Nuremberg laws is factually false (and thus a dangerous discourse on many levels, including historic revisionism even with the best intentions is always adding noise) And saying that does not take anything away from the danger of trans life in Montana right now.
Yes 300 people might share your views , it won't take anything away from that.
