Original Note:
The sources do not support any claim that transvestites (as then known) were targeted. An expert scholar asked to testify in a German court case says Jewish or Roma gay people were targeted while Aryan gay people could escape punishment. “Trans” did not exist as a category. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/central-european-history/article/transgender-life-and-persecution-under-the-nazi-state-gutachten-on-the-vollbrecht-case/0779A24B130C4F0CA64DB639FA6DBF46
