In Weimar Germany, in 1930, before Hitler, you could get gender treatment as a trans woman. The laws against homosexuality were largely unenforced, and the earliest gender-affirming surgeries were being developed.

A few years later, those same people were all living inside Hitler's Germany. It was all gone.

In the US in 2024 you could get an M, F, or X gender marker on your passport. No questions asked, just circle the box you want.

It's gone now.

Each verse of history has the same refrain. Kill your generation's fascists and rebuild.

― Elena Ferrante, The Story of a New Name
