NNN. The specific assertion the Rowling claimed was "a fever dream" was "the Nazis burnt books on trans healthcare and research". It is well-established fact that they did this; Rowling was wrong, and Frerichs is demonstrably correct in what he says. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-forgotten-history-of-the-worlds-first-trans-clinic/ https://forward.com/culture/549587/trans-book-burning-library-gay-pride/ https://www.hmd.org.uk/resource/6-may-1933-looting-of-the-institute-of-sexology/
