    It’s not even genocide. It’s intimidation though arson- which in-and-of-itself is incredibly shitty, but these kids love sensationalizing things to ridiculous levels. And they don’t realize how badly it muddies the waters.

      The intent is the extermination of an entire people through violence, intimidation, repression, etc.

      It’s Genocide

        Your definition is inaccurate to the point of not making sense.

        To be clear, I am not defending them, but the people carrying out these attacks don’t see being trans as an inherent part of the person.

        By the definition of “genocide” you gave, wanting to eliminate (for example) illiteracy would involve genocide against illiterate people; it’s one heck of a jump.

        There’s a substantial gap between “get rid of the thing we see as helping cause this” and “kill everyone affected by this.”

            No, I’m comparing word usage and was clarifying why the statement was inaccurate.

                What? This reads as nonsense to me, apologies.

                I didn’t comment on religion, and the illiteracy aspect was completely irrelevant to what I stated. It was purely an example.

                I think you misread what I said quite severely.
