We're seeing that publicly expressed anti-trans sentiment has skyrocketed in the past decade. Conservatives are getting much more brazen in their open bigotry against trans people. Bills are being drafted and passed that criminalize gender affirming care and education, make it illegal to dress in drag (even though this isn't a trans-exclusive practice, it's clearly targeting trans people), protect people who assault/murder trans people, and even now bills that literally define trans people out of existence. Genocide is the intentional destruction of a people and/or culture. These kinds of bills are designed to either increase the suicide rate and murder rate of trans people, or write them off as not even people with rights. Sounds pretty genocidal to me. --- Rainbow Dashing: "it's just star wars" AutumnEspirit: *kissu* ... Copied to Clipboard!

From what I've seen of his posts, he has far more to complain about how people get active than being active himself. I want to know what he does, if anything, apart from complaining at activists. Regardless, activism is key at the policy level, but shouldn't stop there. There's a reason these people get elected. There needs to be community outreach as well as just striking at politicians. --- CyricZ He/him ... Copied to Clipboard!

This isn't genocide in the sense of mass slaughter of all people of a given group, but genocide through doing their damnedest to ensure trans people are killed by doctors refusing provide care, denying our ability to provide for themselves financially, denying us housing. These are all things meant to slowly bleed us to death.

youenjoymyself1 posted... They'll throw it around until like this until MW changes the definition.Tell us what you think it means. The definition contained in Article II of the Convention describes genocide as a crime committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, in whole or in part. To which I'm sure the smoothbrains will be like "they aren't a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group". Which might be true, but neither were the LGBTQ people who died as part of the holocaust but it was absolutely still victims of a genocide that targeted them specifically. Plus if your only defense is "well technically they aren't national, ethnic, racial, or religious group so it can't be a genocide" you are a shit person and can fuck right off. https://www.hmd.org.uk/learn-about-the-holocaust-and-genocides/what-is-genocide/the-ten-stages-of-genocide/ We are on step 7.
