The progressively worsening attacks on the ability of trans people to exist in daily life. Depending on how you define the Ten Stages of Genocide, we for sure have crossed the 3rd stage of genocide with all the state level anti trans bills and Trumps executive orders, and they’ve also engaged in stages 4 and 6. They’re not pressing on the brake, there’s a lead block on the gas pedal and they have repeatedly professed to wanting to erase us from public life. Trump released a campaign video about it in Feb/March of 2023. https://www.genocidewatch.com/tenstages https://www.genocidewatch.com/tenstages

>The progressively worsening attacks on the ability of trans people to exist in daily life. Really? Care to name an example of their being persecuted legally by the administration in the way you claim? For example, there were multiple huge gay pride parades in the U.S just recently, which are visibly and vocally attended by trans people too, and I didn't see federal agents or police of any kind going at them at any point.

  Regarding "persecuted legally", this administration is actively trying to dismantle the rule of law and flouts it. I appreciate you looking for examples. This podcast episode will give you some, as well as a lens through which you may spot others. https://www.dancarlin.com/product/common-sense-324-whats-good-for-the-goose/ https://www.dancarlin.com/product/common-sense-324-whats-goo...

  Arbitrarily overriding trans people's declared gender on passport applications? https://www.genderjusticeleague.org/trans-non-binary-passport-update-what-you-need-to-know/ https://www.genderjusticeleague.org/trans-non-binary-passpor...

  I literally named one: Trump's anti-trans sports executive order. Care to read more than a sentence at a time?

    That executive order is for the benefit of female athletes who have been disadvantaged and adversely affected by male-inclusion policy. The order is not "anti-trans". Its purpose is to restore fairness and improve safety in women's sports.

      Your tortured use of language reveals the twisted thought process behind them. In your statement, you erase trans people and redefined them as something else that fits your small worldview. That is in and of itself inherently anti-trans. Someone being a trans woman does not make their participation in sports “male inclusion”. They are a woman if they transitioned to become a woman, and saying they are not and should be excluded because you said so is anti trans.
      - aaaja 1y ago
        Not sure what you find objectionable about my use of language. I thought I was being very clear. Point is that the female category in sports is constructed around female bodies, not identities. The category exists because if it didn't, sport would be dominated by male athletes and we would not be able to appreciate female athletic excellence. So, changing this to include a subset of male athletes with male physiological advantage undermines its main purpose. This executive order, and similar policy elsewhere, which ensures male athletes are excluded from competing in the female category isn't "anti-trans" because, in fact, athletes with a trans identity can and do still compete in this category. Some examples: Keelin Godsey, Hergie Bacyadan, Iszac Henig.
