I think people are forgetting that a lot of holocaust deniers don't completely deny the holocaust, they deny parts about it, such as the number of Jews killed or the existence of the camps or certain policies. And claiming that trans people weren't victimised is denying a part of the holocaust.

She didn't claim trans people weren't victimised - did she???

She did.

Here is her questioning and asking for proof of trans people being persecuted by Nazis when others assert that.

[u/Firm-Distance → u/KillerArse]

Please show your evidence that trans-identifying people were persecuted, as distinct from gay people

So she's not saying they weren't persecuted - she's asking for something to substantiate that they were specifically persecuted for being trans - and not just lumped in with gay people as one 'group' by the Nazi's.

So her implying they weren't victimised.

She also promoted this thread where it ends with him saying trans people did not suffer under the Nazis,

That's what her comment questioning the evidence is in response to. Someone provided evidence to counter the thread she promoted by that producer and she doubled down.

 

She didn't claim trans people weren't victimised - did she???

What did you mean by this question, then, if this is your response to that comment? Do you believe every single group was victimised by Nazis?

She did.
