Under the Pink Triangle: Transgender Experience in Interwar Germany

from Historical Blindness · host Nathaniel Lloyd

In this episode, I continue to look at the topic of women's persecution under fascism then pivot, in observation of International Trans Visibility Day, to a discussion of the dramatic shift from the gender progressivism of the Weimar Republic to the persecution of the LGBTQ community, and specifically the thriving transgender community, under the Third Reich.
