I expectantly await the trans community claiming Hitler as 'intersex'...

I thought they found the other one in the Albert Hall...🏀

theilltemperedmaggotintheheartofthelaw · 12/11/2025 19:21

Any news on whether Himmler was very similar?

I believe there are rival theories.

I heard Goebbels had no balls at all

That's a really interesting and thoughtful article. Especially in respect of the ethics of the research and the danger of the results being misused to generate stupidly reductive and stigmatising speculation about the relationship between his atrocities and his possible health conditions.

Sample size too small (also see: Kaiser Bill and his withered arm).

Professor Turi King is very good on the ethics of genetics, as well as being a great presenter, and I'll definitely be watching the documentary.

You beat me to it, Turi King worked on the King Richard III identification. That certainly adds credibility to the project and the ethical dilemma.

I believe Goering had two.

But apparently quite small......

FranticFrankie · 13/11/2025 00:34

Sorry I think it should be ' allegedly' .....

RapidOnsetGenderCritic · 13/11/2025 00:36

There was a young man from Devizes
Whose balls were of different sizes.
One was so small
It was no ball at all;
The other had won several prizes.

Ooh yes… she is brilliant. And one of the women who I think was largely ‘erased’ from Steve Coogan’s Richard III film to make it look as if the uni was a bunch of sexist wallops. One of her former (male) colleagues has just won damages from Coogan over this. Ironic it appears the only sexist wallop was Coogan, for taking all of the female academics’ contributions out of his movie. Sorry, nothing to do with Hitler…

If only he had worn the right shoes 😫

AreYouSureAskedNaomi · 13/11/2025 07:40

Interesting.

My understanding is that Andrei Chikatilo, the Soviet mass-murderer, also had a sexual disorder. He was mocked for it by people he confided in, and this had an impact on his criminal acts.

Agreed. Richard Taylor deserved the compensation.

Steve Coogan decided Philippa Gregory was the female hero and there was no space for Turi.

I think these people that are very Hitlerish (other dicators) probably have a lot of conditions and syndromes that contribute to their behaviour.

PractisingMyTelekenipsis · 13/11/2025 08:15

Very interesting. Oddly enough I doubt that the T community will be rushing to claim him!

AMansAManForAllThat · 13/11/2025 08:20

I’m interested that rumours of his condition spread. I mean, whoever would have thought the song had a kernel of truth?!
It raises interesting questions about Eva, too. Well, speculation rather than anything else.

They don't seem too keen to have a conversation about Goering either.

Goering was quite a large chap and so they may simply have appeared small in comparison with the rest of his physique.

It's fascinating isn't it?

The point that he was bullied in WWI for it would most likely be the source of it I guess.

I have done a lot of work on my family history using DNA so the story both fascinates and disturbs me in equal measure.

AreYouSureAskedNaomi · 13/11/2025 08:32

I think society plays a part, too. If you live in a society where the only path is to get into a heterosexual marriage and reproduce but you can't, it's bound to exacerbate any problems.

Hitler obviously had many issues going on, plus the political and economic situation around him was terrible, and he latched on to the toxic antisemitism of the time.

Think about Caster Semenya. His sex was incorrectly observed at birth, initially raised as a girl, and at some point, he must have realised he looked and felt different. What was the impact? Well he had access to education and sports as a girl anyway. It seems that his community accepted him as he was. His disorder opened up amazing opportunities via sport. He is attracted to females and able to marry a woman without an issue. He is rich and famous. All good.

Imane Khelif - in a sexist, socially conservative society, his upbringing as a girl must have been very different to the boys'. Imane has made some money and fame but has been rumbled now. If he is attracted to females, what are his options in Algeria? He could never live or dress as Caster does.

Now think about the Imanes that didn't make it in sports. No money, no fame. Marriage will be a problem, sex might be difficult and conception as woman impossible.

So yeah I think how society treats people with disorders is crucial.
