I turned in the book manuscript for INTERMEDIARIES, the forgotten history of the first transgender clinic 1918-1933.

It follows the story of Dora Richter, the first transgender woman to undergo complete MTF surgery (not Lili Elbe; she was third!) It’s taken me two years of blood, sweat, and tears. A lot of tears, actually.

The Nazis raided the Institute for Sexual Science; they burned the library. They banned the books that remained. They attacked, arrested, and ultimately killed trans and homosexual people along with disabled people, minority groups like the Roma people, political opponents, and 6 million Jews. (One commenter suggested 11 million people over all, and really, that estimate may still be conservative).

The news today, 2023, reads a lot like news in 1923 with the rise of hatred against LGBTQ, attacks on reproductive rights, and increasing racism and antisemitism. The Nazis rose throughout the 1920s, coming into power 1930-1933.

The world said never again; we must now be the ones to stop a slide into hatred and violence. Before it’s too late.

Here is a preview of the book; it will be available for pre-order this winter (I hope), coming out in 2024.

The Forgotten History of the World's First Trans Clinic

The Institute for Sexual Research in Berlin would be a century old if it hadn’t fallen victim to Nazi ideology

I believe that the big war with russia is closer than people realize

Why? Patterns of History

Let me ask you: Do you know why hitler launched his Invasion of the ussr in June of 1941?

Well aside from his genocidal beliefs and plans of lebensram, hitler believed it was his last chance to do it

Germany was burning through its oil supply (oil which largely came from the soviets) with no end to the war with Britain in sight while the red army was expanding and modernizing, hitler was terrified that if he waited any longer he would not be able to invade and conquer, and coupled with delusional overconfidence, he pushed forward

What we have is a remarkably and horrifyingly similar situation

Putin-a delusional dictator who dreams of conquest and domination-has blundered his country into a long costly war under the premise it would be quick and cheap, it's costing him a steep price (500,000 russian soldiers killed, maimed, or injured) of a resource he has limited supply of (russia already had a demographics problem before the Invasion of Ukraine), and the nations he wants to conquer/get back under russia's thumb are rearming and reinvesting in their militaries

If putin wants to reconquer the former soviet republics/soviet bloc/Warsaw pact, he's running out of time to do so, so why not do it sooner while his chances are better/he still has a decently sized army/those he wishes to conquer are still rearming?

He also currently has his own Neville Chamberlain in the white house who is destroying the us economy with stupid tariffs, is flakey about the US's NATO commitments, and just generally is putin's bitch

So with that in mind, the best time for putin's grand conquest of eastern Europe will be in the next 3 years, probably January 2028 (maybe late 2027 at the earliest), under the belief that he can conquer his way through the rest of Ukraine, link up with his forces in Transnistria, maybe take Moldova too, take the Baltics and parts of Poland to connect his kaliningrad enclave, and beat the rest of Europe up enough to force a "peace" agreement before the 2028 US elections

And if you think putin wouldn't do that, that it's too crazy and he's too sensible...

People were saying the same about him invading Ukraine in 2021

And people also said similar things about hitler

So, things are maybe bad. A bit.
