It's clear that during the early stages of Nazism (until the early 1940's or so), that Jews (and others) were taken to work camps with the intention of putting them to work for bourgeois corporations.

Given that these prisoners were essentially free labor, why did the Nazis choose to start kill them en masse instead of continuing to exploit their labor as they had done before?

When I look this question up, all the answers are things like "Hitler personally had an ideology of hating the Jews, so he eventually started having them killed instead of just enslaved". But was that it? I wouldn't think Hitler would have that kind of power—given that he was basically a puppet for the bourgeoisie, wouldn't they have taken back over or replaced him if he tried to mess with their profits like that?

Given that, was there a material reason to start killing prisoners instead of just enslaving them?

(I don't mean to offend anyone by this question and am Jewish myself for the record, just curious)

I think this would be so cool, to have a suit that can turn into a dress, and vice versa, so that I can convert it depending on how I feel at any given time

I have no idea if it would work but it would be so cool.

Does that exist and does anyone know where I can get one?

My (amab) body has a lovely combination of masculine and feminine features, and I'd like to list all the types of features I have for both.

Legs

I'm a runner, so I have huge muscles on both my calves and thighs.

My calf muscles stretch the skin really tight so they're really easy to shave (or maybe they're just easy to shave for everyone idk).

My thigh muscles are probably the body part that most significantly contributes to my feminine figure. Most women have fat in their legs. Not me! I've got muscle! But it's basically the same shape most of the time, and my disproportionally large legs make me feel better wrt gender dysphoria. But unlike cis womens' legs, I can also flex them and it looks fucking sick when I do that.

I shave my legs every 3-4 days using an electric stubble remover my dad got me when I was 13 for my beard. It's fantastic. I nick myself a lot on the thighs though (less with hot water though!). The skin on my calves is stretched enough from my muscle that I just kinda rawdog it, and it's fine.

I also exfoliate my legs every day and they're SO SOFT AND SMOOTH!

So that was femininity, but it goes without saying that other than being shaved, my legs look hella masculine just kinda by default (yay!)

Waist and hips

My hips are unfortunately male-widthed. But I'm fairly skinny in my core so it makes a sort of hourglass figure that I can accentuate further if I wear a bottom with an elastic band. It's not much, but it's enough. And the hourglass figure continues with my thighs as mentioned above.

I also have some belly fat. Kinda dysphoric but women get that too right? I don't know how gendered the dysphoria is here tbh. I definitely hate it less when I'm male but I still don't really like it. But hey, gotta store some emergency fat somewhere, right?

I might try to get some shapewear to deal with it, but I'm not sure whether to go by my waist or hip dimensions when buying. Anyone have any advice?

EDIT: I remeasured my hips around the largest part which I think is correct, and I'm a 31.5 waist 36 hips without HRT. That's probably not healthy in terms of I can literally see my ribs when standing normally, but hey, at least that's nearly a female size. For the shapewear I ordered the max waist is a 31 and the min hips is a 37. So...well we can hope.

Chest

I wish I had boobs sometimes, and don't want them sometimes. And I definitely don't want to have to bind, especially in this heat! So I don't think getting any is on the table at this point.

I've been working out my pecs to make them bigger, because this helps both my masculinity and femininity. They help my masculinity because big manly muscle on chest. With regard to my femininity, they're definitely not breasts, but having big round masses on my chest really alleviates a lot of my dysphoria, no matter what shape or tissue type they are. In times of dysphoria crisis, I can also squeeze them together to make them much more boob-shaped and -textured.

I want to try folding them into more proper breasts and am currently looking for options wrt that (currently going to try to get an adhesive silicone bra and use that to push them together rather than my hands).

I also got one breast stub during puberty (which I love).

I'm starting to grow chest hair now and really don't like it as either gender. I'll probably shave it.

Back

Absolutely shredded, but it's not like I'm looking at myself from the back so my female self doesn't mind too much. Hair is also starting to appear about it so ditto about that hair what I said about my chest hair.

Arms

My shoulders are probably my biggest muscles after my legs and maybe pecs. My arms have developed triceps but not biceps, and my forearms could pass for those of a slightly plump woman (though maybe scaled up a bit). They are, of course, all muscle.

The system I was originally going to have was to wear sleeveless tops while male (to emphasize my shoulders) and sleeved while female (to hide them). But then I wore a sleeveless top today and thought I looked feminine despite my shoulders, so maybe it's more fluid than I thought. Or maybe it was because my hips were out of view when I looked in the mirror (my understanding is masculinity/femininity is percieved based more on the shoulder-hip ratio than on either in a vacuum).

I recently started shaving my arms. I want to continue but this is getting to be quite a lot of shaving, so I'm looking into razorless shaving creams that just dissolve hair.

Speaking of shaving...

Head

Hair is short. I like it but I think I'll grow it out a bit. It also keeps falling out when it gets long enough though because I don't care for it well enough. Hope that clears up when I stop accutane (my doctor aunt seemed to think it would)!

My face is round enough to pass as female :)

Shaving is a pain. I have really dark beard hairs so I have a really visible beard shadow. Waxing is always on the table, though hopefully said razorless shaving cream will also help. Maybe. I hope. Or I can try makeup. Really, the sky is the limit!

It would be cool to do laser, but I don't want to give up the chance to grow a beard in the future. I don't know if I'll ever want one again, but it's a heck of a thing to give up. (I just shaved my beard a few weeks ago after wanting one for all of high school and having one for all of college). Then again, maybe my mind will change, and in that case it will be good to have dark hair so I can do laser rather than electrolysis (I think laser is better for some reason? Not sure why people think that but they sure seem to online...hope they're right or I have this dark a beard color for nothing lol).

Bonus: Voice

My voice is hypermasculine but that's learned behavior (I'm autistic and wanted to fit in with men). I'm unlearning it and learning to love the sound of my normal voice.

I'm also seeing great results from voice training. It's only been two weeks or so since I started really practicing, but today I just regained the ability to do a falsetto! I've always been passionate about voice acting and doing impressions of various animals and accents, and have a lot of experience in that department, so I'm not really worried about being able to do girl voice.

It's hard to maintain right now, but I'll figure it out the way that I figured out all the others. If anything, I'm relieved that just making the initial sound is as easy as it was. I've been trying to figure out girl voice for years (even before my egg cracked, just for the fun of it), and I'm so excited that with the help of the tutorials out there I'm finally making progress!

Just shaved my beautiful, luscious beard, hoping for a nice beardless flesh-colored look. But no, hundreds of STUPID FUCKING HAIR ROOTS underneath my skin have decided to make it grey.

I'm kinda devastated. Most of my shaving up until now has gone generally well, but here there doesn't seem to be any obvious solution other than waxing it or (finally) learning to apply makeup

:((((((((((

(Or chopping my head off with a guillotine! Can't have a five o'clock shadow if you don't have a head!)

Edit: Looking more at my reflection, it looks like a lot of it is just really pale white because it hasn't been exposed to the sun in multiple years.

Also it's less flushed than the rest of my face due to...lack of exposure? Idk but when I irritate it it flushes to match the rest of my face and the difference is lessened

I'll have to hope it improves in the coming days

Well, I can't say I have, Jack. Gender fluid, that's what they drink, isn't it? Never water? Well, I-I believe that's what they drink, Jack, yes. On no account will a genderfluid person ever drink water, and not without good reason. Oh, eh, yes. I, uhm, can't quite see what you're getting at, Jack. Water, that's what I'm getting at, water. Mandrake, water is the source of all life. Seven tenths of this earth's surface is water. Why do you realize that 70% of you is water? And as human beings, you and I need fresh, pure water - to replenish our precious gender fluids. Are you beginning to understand? [nervously] Yes. Mandrake. Mandrake, have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water or rainwater? And only pure grain testosterone? Well, it did occur to me, Jack, yes. Have you ever heard of a thing called genderification - genderification of water? Jack, yes, I have heard of that, Jack. Yes. Well, do you know what it is? No, I don't know what it is. Do you realise that genderification - is the most monstrously-conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face?

...I (amab) just worked out a lot and got really big pecs? They'd look a lot like breasts and would probably also help fill out dresses and feminine tops the like. But when I'm male they'll still feel gender-affirming because they're big muscles, so I'll be increasing my masculinity and femininity at the same time?

I really think I'm onto something here, especially since I don't want to deal with the other side effects of estrogen. Thoughts?

Any parties going on this coming week? Also, how tf do people find out about parties?
