Who was "targeted first" obfuscates how these processes of extermination are co-linked. Hirschfield was a gay Jew, and queerness then and now is linked to Jewishness. Right wingers talk about Soros funding the trans agenda, and in the same breath trans women corrupting our kids. These are linked!

It is little known, but the first book burnings in Nazi Germany didn’t target Jewish writers. It was the burning of the library of the Institute of Sexual Research, which was a safe home for trans people.

It is no accident that fascists today walk that same dark path by targeting trans people. /5
