    And not just any old studies of trans people but the entire fucking archive of Berlin's institute of sexology, the first institution of its kind, that they shut down after taking power in 1933. Decades of scientific work was lost.

    The institute didn't just research human sexuality, including gay, transgender and intersex studies, they also provided education and treatment on topics like alcoholism, veneral diseases, sexual counselling and contraception to professionals and the general public.

    And look at this gem that I found on Wikipedia when reading about the institute:

    The West German courts found that the foundation's dissolution and the seizure of property by the Nazis in 1934 was legal. The West German legislature also retained the Nazi amendments to Paragraph 175, making it impossible for surviving gay men to claim restitution for the destroyed cultural center.

    Germany must perish. :germany-cool:
