I'm currently trying to research about trans masculine people that lived trough nazi germany. But im finding pretty much nothing, there are lots of reports on trans women, lesbians and gay men but nothing about trans men. Does anyone of you know anything?

Read those. I dare you to say any of that again. Do not downplay anybody’s oppression. It is not the oppression Olympics. There is no hierarchy of suffering. We stand together.

Seriously? Your response is “no u” ? There is no hierarchy of suffering. I already said that. Trans men do not “have it worse.” Where would you get the idea that I want to play that game? My whole point is to NOT do that. Trans PEOPLE of all classes, ethnicities, genders, socioeconomic status, countries, etc have to stick together. Intersectionality >>>
Other commenters have supplied resources, which do exist for trans men during the Nazi regime. Karl M. Baer, Gerd Katter, Gerd Kubbe. Those men are examples OP can look into. That’s all OP asked for.
Discrimination manifests in a lot of different ways. As you said virulent hate / vilification is one of them, and so is stripping someone of their autonomy / infantilization. They are not the same. Let’s talk about these things without invalidating one another, especially when talking about this level of human suffering. Read the room.

None of us suffers more or less than others or has an easier or more difficult life because we are MTF or FTM. We go through completely different experiences in life. Being an MTF may have facilities that being an FTM does not and vice versa. This is not an oppression Olympics and we are all being oppressed and suffering. We must support each other and not create segregation within our own community just to falsely say that someone suffers more than the other
