IT’S PRIDE MONTH, and you know what that means, neurodivergent queer creatives! Time for some radical queer history. You know, the ones the school books intentionally left out.In this episode of The Neurodivergent Creative Podcast, we’re going back—like waaay back—to the early 1900s, when Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld was pioneering queer rights, trans healthcare, sex education, and radical inclusivity in Berlin... until the friggin Nazis came and burned it all down! We’re not behind on queer and trans rights by a few decades. Nope! We’re 60+ years behind where we could’ve been because fascism doesn’t just erase lives, it erases progress too.

💬"Bodies should not be legislated. Relationships should not be legislated. If we speak about unalienable rights for every human in the fucking constitution, why do we act like this?" – Caitlin Liz Fisher

This discussion isn’t just a queer history lesson—it’s a call to remember what we’ve lost, what we're still fighting for, and what it means to keep going in the face of erasure. Caitlin connects the dots from Hirschfeld to modern queer resistance, from book burnings to DEI bans... It's unfiltered real talk. It's resistance. It's ours.

In this episode, Caitlin talks about:

• The revolutionary legacy of Magnus Hirschfeld
• How queer rights, women’s rights, and trans rights are all interconnected
• The Institute for Sexual Science (and its tragic destruction by the Nazis)
• What fascism looked like then—and what it looks like now
• Why we must stop acting like LGBTQ+ oppression is a “new” problem
• The hard truth about liberal complicity and performative politics
• Rage, resistance, and reclaiming Pride with purpose
