    Welcome to Behindthepaddlepodcast hosted by Porcelain Victoria. In this compelling episode, we delve into the harrowing events of May 6, 1933, when the Nazis raided the Institute of Sexology in Berlin, a groundbreaking institution founded by Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld. We explore 1930s Berlin, where there's progressive ideas about sexuality and gender flourished, and highlights Hirschfeld’s pioneering work in LGBTQ+ rights and sexual research.

    We examine the political climate that allowed the Nazis to rise to power and their obsession with “racial purity,” which led to a brutal crackdown on anything they deemed “degenerate.” Listeners will hear a vivid recounting of the night the SA stormtroopers stormed the Institute, destroying invaluable research and leading to the symbolic book burnings that would follow just days later.

    The discussion extends to the devastating aftermath of this destruction, including the broader Nazi persecution of LGBTQ+ individuals and the lasting legacy of Hirschfeld’s work, which continued to inspire future generations of activists.

    As we draw parallels to today’s world, we confront the ongoing struggles against book bans, attacks on LGBTQ+ education, and the resurgence of authoritarianism. This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving knowledge and protecting the rights of marginalized communities in the face of oppression.

    Join us as we reflect on the past and discuss why understanding this history matters now more than ever in our fight for justice and equality.

    In this week’s episode of Behindthepaddle Podcast, I Porcelain Victoria dive into the opening pages of Revolting Prostitutes: The Fight for Sex Workers' Rights by Molly Smith and Juno Mac. Right from the start, the authors challenge the common misconceptions about sex work, offering a fresh perspective rooted in activism and personal experience. The first few pages lay the groundwork for the book’s bold argument: that sex workers deserve full rights and protections, and that society's stigma and legal frameworks need a complete overhaul. Tune in as I explore the initial insights into the lives of sex workers and why their voices and stories are so crucial in the fight for justice. In this first episode of hopefully many more i read a few pages of the book just like an audiobook. This will be weekly until i finish the book.
