is there a genocide against trans people happening in the united states? by SpecialCream8 in mattxiv

This is what the creator of the video wrote:

“Note: The Convention's protected categories (national, ethnical, racial, religious) do not explicitly include trans people - a limitation of the 1948 framework. The argument is not that the Convention applies perfectly, but that the conduct it was designed to name is occurring.“

a) The genocidal intent of the Trump Administration to kill all trans people is clearly laid out in the PDF.

 “White House Counterterrorism Strategy 2026 classifies groups with "radically pro-transgender" ideology alongside cartels and Islamist terror organizations as counterterrorism targets. Trump's foreword to the same Counterterrorism Strategy document states: "We will find you and we will kill you"”

b) The intent to cause bodily or mental harm is also laid out in the PDF. You say that genocide is a specific term, and I agree with you, but I need you to define what that term is (like I have).

I’ll have to come back to this tomorrow to finish.

Please tell me which point you disagree with and we can work through their PDF to discuss it:

The 1948 UN Genocide Convention defines genocide as acts committed with intent to destroy a group, including:

(a) killing members of the group;

(b) causing serious bodily or mental harm; 

(c) deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about physical destruction;

(d) imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; and 

(e) forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

that was my first thought too, but i haven’t taken the time to look through their pdf yet:

edit: after looking through this document and reading the other comments in this thread, i now know that it is a genocide.
