What is a Christine Jorgensen

Tfw nazis literally burnt Hirschfeld’s (sp?) papers so we wouldn’t be in the history books

Like I wanna be really clear. Hirschfeld was literally moving to a depathologized explanation of trans women (inversion as variance not defect) and was advocating for providing trans women with HRT and surgery, all the while treat numerous trans women with hormones, in the early 1930s. Berlin had a thriving trans and gay community you have never heard of because the nazis destroyed it and the systematically erased evidence of it.

It’s not that trans women have only existed the last thirty years, it’s that you have been intentionally denied knowledge of our history by reactionaries who want to see us dead.

I think I’m at the threshhold where the anxiety nd depression symptoms are fightable and I would like to ward off these nasties before winter thank you. I think I’m just really getting into wtiting and sorta developing a higher tolerance for sucking during the drafting process in order to eventually suck less. Thinking is still foggy and intrusive thoughts still a thing. But exercise helps and thoughts aren’t real so no I will not do a stupid thing. Also, friends are very good and talking is good and so is food and I am doing ok yes.
