BCE to The Suffragettes

04-11-1864 – 05-17-1943 Johanna Elberskirchen – Born in Rüdersdorf, near Berlin, Germany. She was a feminist writer who worked for the rights of women, homosexuals, and workers, and was active in the sexual reform movement.

She studied medicine in Bern and later in Zurich. From 1915 to 1919, she worked in the Berlin nursing care. In 1920, together with her life companion Hildegard Moniac (1891 – 1967), she moved back to Rüdersdorf and opened a practice for homeopathic remedies. Her last known public appearance was in 1930 in Vienna, where she gave a talk at a conference organized by the World League for Sexual Reform. She was openly lesbian, which made her an exceptional figure in the feminist movement. Her career as an activist ended in 1933, when the Nazi Party rose to power. Her urn was buried secretly in 1975 by two women in the tomb of her life companion, Hildegard Moniac.

On December 5, 2002, the municipality unanimously decided to put the tomb Elberskirchen/Moniac under protection and in 2003, a memorial ceremony took place and memorial plaques were erected for both women.

Along with other heterosexuals who are trying to avoid being heterosexual…or seeking fame and/or virtue signaling….

Given lesbians are now bashed inside “LGBTQ2/2LGBTQ” with no difference from men who claim all women are bisexual or that he is a lesbian; now with force of government, who previously denied human rights to gay men, bisexuals and lesbians….
