If you really want to discuss technicalities:

The institute was targeted by Nazis as early as 1920.

From about the early 1920s onward, Hirschfeld became a target of the far-right in Germany, including the Nazi Party. He was physically attacked during multiple incidents, including an incident in Munich on 4 October 1920 in which he was badly injured... By 1929, frequent targeting by Nazis made it difficult for Hirschfeld to continue with his appearances in public.

Ok dude (or whoever you are), I don't need to get in the weeds of digging through history for ever-smaller events to continue with this debate. On the context of the discussion of the Reichstag vs Institute, the Reichstag events happened first. That pretty much settles the original debate. As far as wholesale attacks on groups, the Communists by far faced the most resistance and the most violent resistance before the somewhat more acceptable trans community (as long as they stayed within their restrictive walled garden) began to have their rights stripped from them as noted in the source I provided.
