My account, “the angry man” was abruptly terminated. I have done nothing that violates tumblrs terms of service.

The only pattern I see is that I have been routinely calling out TERFs, who have falsely been claiming to be detransitioners, have graduate degrees etc.

It appears that tumblr is actively hostile to people calling out transphobes. The site has decided to take a stand, and that stand is with Russian trolls.

    It’s usually TERFs, not MAGAs. It’s a Rowling thing.

    It’s based on the fact that Erwin Gohrbandt did help in the first vaginoplasty ever performed on Dora Richter. Gohrbandt went on to participate in medical atrocities at Dachau. He was not the leader of the Institute of Sexual Research, he just participated in a surgery there.

    From this one fact, the story spins out of control. I have seen multiple people claim that the Nazis invented the “transvestite passes” that were available for trans people in the Weimar Republic. This is a disgusting lie, because the Nazis in fact revoked these passes and used them as a means to track down and murder transgender people.

    This is also an attempt associate transgender surgery by with medical experiments (really just murder, the only thing even close to scientific was the hypothermia research) done at places like Aushwitz and Dachau.

    Rowling is as much as a Holocaust denier as David Irving is. It’s not different from the “there were swimming pools at Auschwitz crowd!” They are lying deliberately for political reasons.

    I believe that there is a concerted effort by a group to spread this narrative on tumblr especially. I have seen it posted by multiple unconnected individuals.

      Mine was mainly a joke, but I thought first of MAGAs instead of just TERFs (they almost overlap though IMO) because they would be the ones to dedicate all the time, energy and alt accounts to attack trans even here.
