People don’t even realize how much literature written on gender science and the legitimacy of trans people was burned and then they wonder almost a century later “hmm, I wonder why I’m hearing about this trans thing for the first time. Must be a stupid fad”. Of course it’s been recorded all around the world for centuries but modern academia is near exclusively reliant on white scholars (the kind who’s countries were invaded and books and culture burned)
