As the U.K. snap elections take place, a British-American trans woman reflects on the painful and lasting impact of the anti-trans movement in the country.
I’m gay. And this isn’t genocide. You could use hate, bigotry, segregation possibly, but genocide requires death, not “sometimes death,” and it’s the whole group, not just the ones who cannot defend themselves. Rich LGBT in the UK are doing just fine.
Genocide is the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.
If a transsexual can’t have proper healthcare, it can in fact result in death, that is very real.
Another thing that’s real is that they are treated so poorly in general that they have the highest suicide rate by far of any minority.
Finally many choose not to live as the gender they wish they could, because it’s too problematic even dangerous. Even if this isn’t a physical death, it is killing the existence of people that can live their life as transgender.
Much the same way as the Iranian president when he visited New York some years ago, claimed that Iran did not have homosexuals, so there was no oppression of them.
A completely ridiculous claim we know is biologically impossible, and we know is false because they seek refuge in the west.
And we know Iran executes people for being homosexual, which of course is the ultimate genocide of homosexuals.
Not every oppressed Group of people can be compared to the Jews in Nazi Germany. 6 million trans people aren’t being killed they just have dubious health Coverage. Don’t get me wrong, history won’t look kindly on that.
There is ongoing genocide in Gaza, the number of people killed is nowhere near 6 million. It’s not about the numbers, it’s about the systemic attempt to make a group of people not exist.

Or will you deny that too?

Yeah rich Jews could leave Germany.
