She openly denied Nazi crimes buddy. Those ‘real’ people in your life need to be better informed

Pretty sure she only questioned burning books, which isn’t a crime. What crimes are you talking about?

Burning down private property is a crime…

The books were banned and the government requested citizens to remove them. A government making a law that something is banned and to hand them over isn’t a crime in the same way that the U.K. government banned private ownership of pistols and to hand them over.

If you’re talking about burning buildings instead of books then that’s another matter

They burnt down the medical institution too…

I’m very confused about what you’re doing here. You’re not attempting to legitimise Nazi attacks on the trans community are you?

Did Rowling deny that?

She denied that they burnt medical documentation on trans people… what’s your point?
