genuinely cannot wrap my mind around why they gave el that stupid “henry you’re not a monster. papa is the monster uwu” bit of dialogue. like. both things can be true. this comes After she finds out that she banished henry into the upside down for killing literally everyone else in the lab. it’s just such a weird vibe, because yeah, henry was nice to her for a bit, but he was so clearly manipulating her? and she hasn’t had any issue with violence in the past, so it’s not like this would be baby’s first murder. “you’re not a monster” is true of the other kids who were mean to her just to try to get on brenner’s good side, not the guy who spent at least a decade just waiting for an opportunity to kill a bunch of kids who were being experimented on (sorry for the rant, i just despise vecna and every part of his plot with my entire being)
yeah, i fucking hate vecna, and that line was so godawful. vecna and brenner can both be terrible people, and they are!!! like, yeah, brenner treated henry like crap, but he also did the same to dozens of other kids and they didn’t become serial killers.
and omg, yeah, stop trying to sanitise el, just let her murder his ass!!

Rowling isn't denying holocaust. She just pointed out that burning of transgender health books is a lie as that form of cosmetic surgery didn't exist. But of course you knew that already, didn't you?
I was thinking I'd probably see one of you! You're wrong :) Let's review the history a bit, shall we?
In this case, what we're talking about is the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, or in English, The Institute of Sexology. This Institute was founded and headed by a gay Jewish sexologist named Magnus Hirschfeld. It was founded in July of 1919 as the first sexology research clinic in the world, and was run as a private, non-profit clinic. Hirschfeld and the researchers who worked there would give out consultations, medical advice, and even treatments for free to their poorer clientele, as well as give thousands of lectures and build a unique library full of books on gender, sexuality, and eroticism. Of course, being a gay man, Hirschfeld focused a lot on the gay community and proving that homosexuality was natural and could not be "cured".
Hirschfeld was unique in his time because he believed that nobody's gender was either one or the other. Rather, he contended that everyone is a mixture of both male and female, with every individual having their own unique mix of traits.
This leads into the Institute's work with transgender patients. Hirschfeld was actually the one to coin the term "transsexual" in 1923, though this word didn't become popular phrasing until 30 years later when Harry Benjamin began expanding his research (I'll just be shortening it to trans for this brief overview.) For the Institute, their revolutionary work with gay men eventually began to attract other members of the LGBTA+, including of course trans people.
Contrary to what Anon says, sex reassignment surgery was first tested in 1912. It'd already being used on humans throughout Europe during the 1920's by the time a doctor at the Institute named Ludwig Levy-Lenz began performing it on patients in 1931. Hirschfeld was at first opposed, but he came around quickly because it lowered the rate of suicide among their trans patients. Not only was reassignment performed at the Institute, but both facial feminization and facial masculization surgery were also done.
The Institute employed some of these patients, gave them therapy to help with other issues, even gave some of the mentioned surgeries for free to this who could not afford it! They spoke out on their behalf to the public, even getting Berlin police to help them create "transvestite passes" to allow people to dress however they wanted without the threat of being arrested. They worked together to fight the law, including trying to strike down Paragraph 175, which made it illegal to be homosexual. The picture below is from their holiday party, Magnus Hirschfeld being the gentleman on the right with the fabulous mustache. Many of the other people in this photo are transgender.
[Image ID: A black and white photo of a group of people. Some are smiling at the camera, others have serious expressions. Either way, they all seem to be happy. On the right side, an older gentleman in glasses- Magnus Hirschfeld- is sitting. He has short hair and a bushy mustache. He is resting one hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him. His other hand is being held by a person to his left. Another person to his right is holding his shoulder.]
There was always push back against the Institute, especially from conservatives who saw all of this as a bad thing. But conservatism can't stop progress without destroying it. They weren't willing to go that far for a good while. It all ended in March of 1933, when a new Chancellor was elected. The Nazis did not like homosexuals for several reasons. Chief among them, we break the boundaries of "normal" society. Shortly after the election, on May 6th, the book burnings began. The Jewish, gay, and obviously liberal Magnus Hirschfeld and his library of boundary-breaking literature was one of the very first targets. Thankfully, Hirschfeld was spared by virtue of being in Paris at the time (he would die in 1935, before the Nazis were able to invade France). His library wasn't so lucky.
This famous picture of the book burnings was taken after the Institute of Sexology had been raided. That's their books. Literature on so much about sexuality, eroticism, and gender, yes including their new work on trans people. This is the trans community's Alexandria. We're incredibly lucky that enough of it survived for Harry Benjamin and everyone who came after him was able to build on the Institute's work.
[Image ID: A black and white photo of the May Nazi book burning of the Institute of Sexology's library. A soldier, back facing the camera, is throwing a stack of books into the fire. In the background of the right side, a crowd is watching.]
As the Holocaust went on, the homosexuals of Germany became a targeted group. This did include transgender people, no matter what you say. To deny this reality is Holocaust denial. JK Rowling and everyone else who tries to pretend like this isn't reality is participating in that evil. You're agreeing with the Nazis.
But of course, you knew that already, didn't you?
Edit: Added image IDs. I apologize to those using screen readers for forgetting them. Please reblog this version instead.

Tim: Maybe if you aimed to be a little more environmentally friendly in your business practices, Posion Ivy wouldn’t have held your board of directors hostage.
Lex Luthor: I know it was you that leaked those files, I just can’t prove it.
Tim: What? Me? Mr. Luthor, I’m shocked you’d think me capable of such a malicious act.
Lex, slamming his hands on the table, pointing at Tim: Listen here you little shit-
Tim: Hey don’t get mad at me because your security is shit.
Lex: You- I slept with your parents.
Tim: Liar.
Lex: maybe, but you can’t prove I didn’t.
Tim: Which…?
Lex: Parents was plural.
Tim: My mom and dad?
Lex: Yep.
Tim: Liar.
Lex: That’s not all. Ask Bruce what happened in 2002.
Tim: You really are evil you know.
Lex, sitting down: Thank you, I try.

To say the UK is one of the most technologically advanced nations why the fuck does everyone here still message over Snapchat when it’s genuinely terrible and there are far better options. I don’t understand. There’s better fruit out there why are you still eating the apple that went rotten in 2016???
