Reply to comment by TRIBETWELVE in Russia's only LGBTQ+ museum closes down amid 'propaganda' crackdown by BeeBobMC

Maaaaaaan, every time I see this, it makes me so fucking upset. As a trans person myself, not being able to be myself for over 3 decades, due mostly to lack of information/representation, has caused catastrophic damage. What would trans lives look like if the Nazis (current iteration included) were not around? Our mental/physical health be so much better……so many lives could have been saved.

Yeah it's super depressing. We lost so much knowledge because of the Nazis, knowledge that could have saved countless trans and queer lives. And that's not even getting into how many queer people the Nazis — followed by the Allies who let us continue to rot in the camps — murdered directly.

I wonder what my childhood might've been like if that knowledge hadn't been burnt to the ground, and had instead become widespread...
