Republican's Complicity In Transgender Genocide

The progression of anti-transgender legislation and its resemblance to the stages of genocide is an urgent call to awareness and action.

According to the U.N., genocide means any of the following acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group, as such:

1 - Killing members of the group;

2 - Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

3 - Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

4 - Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

5 - Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Last November, the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention voiced its concern over the growing number of laws that target transgender individuals and the transgender community. In a statement, they said they believe that the so-called “gender critical movement” behind these laws is a fascist movement furthering a specifically genocidal ideology that seeks the complete eradication of trans identity from the world.

Texas Republicans’ strategy is clear, instead of an all-out ban on transgender individuals, they are targeting transgender healthcare making medical transitioning impossible in the State of Texas. This is the same approach they used leading up to the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, targeting the healthcare instead of the person.
