The Forgotten History of the World's First Trans ClinicMay 10, 2021 The Institute for Sexual Research in Berlin would be a century old if it hadn’t fallen victim to Nazi ideology

The institute would ultimately house an immense library on sexuality, gathered over many years and including rare books and diagrams and protocols for male-to-female (MTF) surgical transition…. they performed male-to-female surgery called Genitalumwandlung—literally, “transformation of genitals.” This occurred in stages: castration, penectomy and vaginoplasty… Patients would also be prescribed hormone therapy, allowing them to grow natural breasts and softer features.

When the Nazis came for the institute on May 6, 1933,… Troops swarmed the building, carrying off a bronze bust of Hirschfeld and all his precious books, which they piled in the street. Soon a towerlike bonfire engulfed more than 20,000 books, some of them rare copies that had helped provide a historiography for nonconforming people. The carnage flickered over German newsreels. It was among the first and largest of the Nazi book burnings… https://archive.is/rUQYz https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-forgotten-history-of-the-worlds-first-trans-clinic/

The Birth Of Cultural Marxism: How The “Frankfurt School” Changed America The roots of Western cultural decay are very deep, having first sprouted a century ago. It began with a loose clan of ideologues inside Europe’s communist movement. 1917 …Two very prominent Marxists thinkers of the day were Antonio Gramsci and Georg Lukács. Each man, on his own, concluded that the working class of Europe had been blinded by the success of Western democracy and capitalism. They reasoned that until both had been destroyed, a communist revolution was not possible…. In 1918, Lukács became minister of culture in Bolshevik Hungary… he realized that if the family unit and sexual morals were eroded, society could be broken down.

Lukács implemented a policy he titled“cultural terrorism”which focused on these two objectives. A major part of the policy was to target childrens’ minds through lectures that encouraged them to deride and reject Christian ethics. In these lectures, graphic sexual matter was presented to children, and they were taught about loose sexual conduct.

1923… “Marxist study week” in Frankfurt, Germany. … Until Lukács showed up, classical Marxist theory was based solely on the economic changes needed to overthrow class conflict… Weil’s interest led him to fund a new Marxist think tank—the Institute for Social Research. It would later come to be known as simply The Frankfurt School… The new theory was that everyone in society was psychologically oppressed by the institutions of Western culture…In 1935, the Frankfurt School was reborn at Columbia University… It was at Columbia University that the school honed the tool it would use to destroy Western culture: the printed word. The school published a lot of popular material. The first of these was Critical Theory. The theory was simple: criticize every pillar of Western culture—family, democracy, common law, freedom of speech, and others. The hope was that these pillars would crumble under the pressure.

Next, was a book Theodor Adorno co-authored, The Authoritarian Personality, redefined traditional American views on gender roles and sexual mores as “prejudice.”… Their works split society into two main groups: the oppressors and the victims. They argued that history and reality were shaped by those groups who controlled traditional institutions. At the time, that was code for males of European descent. From there, they argued that the social roles of men and women were due to gender differences defined by the “oppressors.” In other words, gender did not exist in reality but was merely a “social construct.”

…when WWII ended…. Herbert Marcuse, another member of the school, stayed in America. In 1955, he published Eros and Civilization… argued that Western culture was inherently repressive because it gave up happiness for social progress. The book called for “polymorphous perversity,” a concept crafted by Freud. It posed the idea of sexual pleasure outside the traditional norms. Eros and Civilization would become very influential in shaping the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Marcuse would be the one to answer Horkheimer’s question from the 1930s: Who would replace the working class as the new vanguards of the Marxist revolution? Marcuse believed that it would be a victim coalition of minorities—blacks, women, and homosexuals. archive.ph/54cCP
