This seems identical to saying that convincing someone with anorexia that they aren't overweight is "social death", and "social death" is (somehow) genocide.
I.e. it's nonsense.

- graemep 1y agoBeing gay is not generally recognised as mental illness, although it has been in the past. Being trans is less well defined (historically even being gay was not well defined, or defined the same way).
- Akronymus 1y agodysphoria is certainly a mental illness, transitioning is merely one possible treatment for it (though, pushed as one of the first rather than as one of the last options, which I personally find concerning.)

- bombcar 1y agoUsing the same word “genocide” for what is happening in Gaza and what is happening in the US seems to make language pretty useless.
- graemep 1y agoTo say nothing of using the same word as what happened in the holocaust or to the Armenians or native Americans or Rwanda or is happening in Xinjiang....
- ryandv 1y agoThis is what I have been saying for years. The far-left progressives have literally raped language beyond all recognition. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Men are women.
- watwut 1y agoThe obvious difference is that people with anorexia die and people who transition live happily.
- boppo1 1y agoUh, some do.
