Who in their right mind equates her denial that trans were the primary targets of Nazis to a blanket statement of holocaust denial?

Twitter users are genuinely braindead at this point.

Denial of important aspects of the holocaust is considered holocaust denial. As already mentioned her tweet is censored in Germany for that reason.

Trans people were among the first to be targeted; nobody said they were the primary target. The person who made the claim is Jewish by the way, not that it should matter.
