I found this answer on reddit. Seems like only male homosexuality was specifically outlawed. People were officially allowed to get sex changes and transvestites were not specifically targeted.

"What is curious is also that it appears that in 1940 so-called Transvestiteballs were still held in Berlin and enjoyed over 300 visitors, all of them cross-dressing apparently."

This tracks with just about every other regime that executes gay men... they are fine with trans people cause they make gay men appear to be straight. What a disgusting thing...

And how many ex-Nazis ended up with the CIA around the same time they started putting George "Christine" Jorgensen on a pedestal?

If that's true...... it makes you think, doesn't it?
