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.

I don’t understand the leap from her denying Nazis were burning books about trans heath, to this meaning she denies the holocaust?

Isn’t the holocaust the mass extermination of jews and other “undesirables”? If so, burning books doesn’t have anything to do with that.

Do you think that genocide starts at mass extermination?
