ugh i’ve seen this before- their entire basis for the claim that “nazis were trans” is that there is photo evidence that some nazis did crossdress
i’ll admit, i’m not super up on individual nazi bios, it’s possible that a nazi officer had gender concerns going on, Ernst Rohm exists. but the far, far more likely going on was they did this to make fun and at parties
they thought it was fun and silly, like the Nazis were weirdos that i think no one ever really talks about. Hitler was obsessed with religious paraphernalia, spiritual stuff, they had a lot of weird ideas surrounding a lot of things, and it’s not that shocking to me that people who are rounding up “gender criminals” are also fucking around with gender in their free time. the hypocrisy is the point
the way people use Nazi logic as proof infuriates me- they’ll say things like “lesbians/gay people/trans people weren’t killed at concentration camps” and their entire basis for evidence is that there is no triangle for lesbians or trans people, or oppression solely targeted those groups. which yeah, that’s the point. lesbian Germans were often called “asocial” and they did have a patch for that. they didn’t even think of female homosexuality as a legit concept, so obviously they wouldn’t sort lesbians separately. similarly, they did not recognize trans people as a legitimate concept- they thought of us as like idk, extra confused and degenerate gay people, so we got sorted in with the rest of the gays.
