The most famous forms of Holocaust denial and revisionism tend to focus on Jews, casting doubt, for example, on how many were exterminated in the camps. But denying the impact the Nazis had on the other groups they targeted, including queer and trans people, disabled people and Romani people, is still Holocaust denial. Maybe someone should tell J.K. Rowling.

I don’t have a Twitter account anymore, so I can’t look for the whole thread. The “not the first” tweet is an answer to someone replying to this tweet here.
Edit: found it:
Yeah it’s because the Alejandra person actually claimed those things.
As critical as I’m of JK Rowlings trans denial, this appears to be blown way out of proportion by people who want to pin another label on her that will make their fight more righteous.
This is nothing but culture war
Where?
Some person: Nazis burned books on transgenders
Rowling: That’s a lie.
Alejandra: Here sources proving, that nazis did indeed burn books, including a German court ruling that explicitly stated, that nazis moved against transgenders too and the denial of that is Holocaust denial.
Rowling: But they were not the first victims and they didn’t burn all books.
Like, her whole argument is completely off. She is the only one, that ever mentioned “all books” and “first victims”.
She isn’t the one that first spoke of “all”, she’s referring to this message.
Anyway, I don’t think this entire argument is done in good faith nor by Alejandra nor JK Rowling.
