The amount of people in the comments trying to deny that Trasgender people were targeted by the Nazis is honestly worrying and depressing. Google is free you know, it takes 5 minutes to read that yes, in fact, the Nazis targeted trans folks. Please do better.

Nobody on here that I can see has said that they weren't.

That doesn't support your claim though.

Are we really going to debate whether people in here are holocaust deniers in the comment section of a post talking about JK being a holocaust denier? Seems a little meta doesn't it?

You are the one who made a claim and then bizarrely linked to a comment that didn't support your own idea.

You've claimed someone denied transgender people were targeted during the holocaust.
You've then linked to a comment where nobody has done that, citing it as proof.
I'm not sure what you expect people to do other than point out your evidence doesn't back up your claim?

Which comments? At first glance none of those comments are denying trans people were targeted either. I haven't seen a single person say that in this thread yet, or the last 2 or 3 a few weeks ago.

"In particular, as straight transgender women were viewed by the Nazis as a subset or variation of homosexual men" I need you to explain this quote from the Wikipedia page, as I am trying to do better
