The inventor of the vaginoplasty was Erwin Gohrbandt, and I will copy/paste my sperg about him from the Grace Lavery thread:
First, let's read about what the inventor of the vaginoplasty, Erwin Gohrbandt of the famed Hirschfeld Institute, thinks about TERFs being fascist.
...oh wait, that's weird, I can't find much information about him in English. Here is the relevant part of the
German Wiki article. I wonder what that underlined parts mean. The article's only available in German and Polish.
Looks like he was an "inspekteur" of the "Luftwaffe" (could mean anything, I guess) and that he participated in conferences about "medical questions about hypothermia" which seems to refer to a bunch of, um, experiments. Strangely, I had to look in
another language to find
more details:
Can anyone help me translate "expérimentations à Dachau"?
Specific language woes aside, it is odd how there there isn't even an English version of the German Wiki that says that the guy that invented the vaginoplasty later worked for the Nazis, just like there's barely any information about the certificates issued by the Nazi party that allowed male AGPs to live safely because it proved they were not degenerate homosexuals (look at the difference in length between the
English and
German wikis on the subject, and the way the English one quietly obscures the Nazi involvement by just mentioning that it continued up until the 1950s). You'd think an open academic environment in English-speaking countries would encourage the easy dissemination of historical facts, but I suppose they all just forgot.
Note: I do not think TRAs are Nazis. And the Nazis were not pro-troon, although they did show a willingness in many cases to turn a blind eye to AGP troons in a way they did not with male homosexuals. However, if there is a propaganda campaign going on today, it is one aimed at suppressing anything that might make troons or anything connected to them look bad, in
any branch of research or academia, because making troons look bad will end or at least damage your career.
Hence why Hirschfeld's story is famous, but only autistic dorks can find actual information on Gohrbandt.
