todaviia: genderbolshevism:A snippet on what German reunification would mean for trans rights that appeared in Lou Sullivan’s FTM Newsletter in June 1990. one day i’m gonna write a veeery long post about what the reunification meant for lgbt people bc I have talked to many lgbt ossis about it and it’s SOOO interesting.like for example in the cities the young “queer scene” is very… americanized if that makes sense? like using almost exclusively english vocabulary for lgbt related things, focusing on a western/ american centric line of lgbt history etc - it’s very alienating for many people who grew up with russian as their main foreign language…or like look at charlotte von mahlsdorf, probably east germany’s best known trans woman, who was attacked by neo nazis in the early nineties (the east german neo nazi culture started directly after the reunification) and then left germany for sweden because of that…there’s just so much stuff like this and it’s SO super interesting but it’s rarely talked about -- source link
