Nazi Germany, the targeting of disabled people, please read

# orderedItems[].content
every fucking time someone talks about Nazi Germany and "first they came", they always, ALWAYS fail to mention disabled people.

they always forget to mention how disabled people were among the first people to be explicitly targeted. they were deemed "unfit" to the "Aryan" image.

(strange parallel: a lot of people became disabled as a result of the Great Flu. a mass death and disabling event. kind of like what we've got going on today with COVID, which isn't over...)

(another strange parallel: a lot of people already believe that disabled people are a "burden" on society, and that they should have their benefits cut to serve some "greater good." a lot of those people either already believe, or could be convinced to believe, that disabled people should "just die" for the same reason. this rhetoric was also popular back then, given the economic turmoil that the world - and, in particular, Germany - was in.)

(one more thing: these attitudes - and some of the actions - towards disabled people were in no way unique to Germany at the time. and they are in no way unique to any one country now.)

in 1933, forced sterilizations began on disabled people. pretty much immediately upon the Nazis claiming power.

as for when people started getting killed en masse: look up "Aktion T4". fucking sit with it. absorb it. they emptied the fucking hospitals and asylums. where do you think those people went?

how many of our precious "leftist" voices even bother to look into this, let alone inform people of it - and not as a gotcha or some quick aside?

no, instead, we remain silent on the atrocities done to disabled people. every fucking time.

this is not said as some sort of """oppression olympics""" bullshit, this is said because so few people bother to remember this.

they aren't even in the goddamn poem.

Edit 3: I am aware the website has been updated since this document was made. Working on it.

V2 of my offline copy of the DIY HRT document is online!

The original creators do have a live site with a live contact. This is still a good resource to have, too.

https://diyhrt.info/

I thought I'd take it upon myself to update my V1 of the document, and to store it somewhere safe.

This is for you, dear reader, to download and share in whatever circles you deem fit (with proper risk assessment, of course). I've included the base PDF, as well as a version that you can print as a booklet, since not every PDF or print application can print in booklet mode.

I have added some new information to and slightly reformatted the booklet, (formatted bullet lists), but otherwise, everything in the document remains the same as it is on the website.

(Edit 2 - obtained custom domain) More on my reasoning, as well as a download link, here:

Long Pinned Post: Reading suggestions about transmisogyny.

# orderedItems[].content
Moving this over:

(Note: This has been my pinned post since February 10th, 2023.)

To everyone that's not the target of transmisogyny: We all have to work to understand what transmisogyny is, what it can look like (big and small), and - the part we might not want to admit to ourselves - how we might be reproducing it inside of our communities and relationships.

We have to confront ourselves and what society taught us about transfems. We have to stand against it. We have to be willing to admit when we fuck up, and do what it takes to make that right.

To that end: have some related reading.
