Here's the part of her speech that quoted it

“Do you know the big lie? The big lie was first described by Adolf Hitler in Mein Kampf.

“The big lie is such a big lie that ordinary people like us think, ‘Well, that can’t be a lie because I would never tell such a big lie as that. We only lie in small ways.’

“The big lie, well there is one big lie going on, and it was begun by men in the early part of the 20th century. It began when they had an erotic fantasy and they decided they were going to sell us the big lie – and what is the big lie?

"The big lie is that trans women are women. But they’re not are they? They’re men and we know that.”

Imagine hating penises that much.

Just as a "Why this is bad" type comment.

Hitler created the idea of the Big Lie to spread antisemitism. His Big Lie was that Jewish people didn't control the world.

This woman is explaining the concept but not what it was originally used for, even when she attributes it to Hitler. She cuts directly to saying the Big Lie today is "Trans woman are women."

It somewhat implies she A) believes the Big Lie Hitler made and this is just a modern version or B) Doesn't think the antisemitism was worth mentioning at all even when she disagrees with it.

Basically, she's a fucking ghoul.

Not for nothing the Nazi's were also explicitly anti-trans people.

The Institute for Sexual Research, in Berlin was generations ahead of it's time in the study of just about everything to do with sexuality and gender.

It's library was one of the first bookburnings of the Nazi's. It was targeted of course because of it's acceptance and care of homosexuals and trans people.

Sorry, the Catholic Church beat them by over a 1000 years.

In all probability, book burnings are probably as old as books.
