Not being represented != being systematically killed off
It’s not just lack of representation though. The UK is removing trans people’s access to the healthcare that allows them to live a tolerable life.
The government literally covered up the massive leap in suicides since banning trans care for youths.
Bit more than not being represented.
It pretty much is. If you ignore the culture / race part. Eugenics would be a more correct term.
UN definition of genocide: https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml
Although you can’t technically genocide trans people because they’re not one of the special groups outlined in the definition, you don’t actually need to kill people to commit a genocide. I would argue that there is “intent to destroy, in whole or in part” trans people by “Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group” and “Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part”. By taking away healthcare and other accommodations, serious harm is caused to trans people. Couple this with the high suicide rates of bullied and marginalised trans people, one could argue that the lawmakers are intending to kill trans people (although I personally wouldn’t go that far)
It’s not genocide for the same reason that straight-up euthanising, say, schizophrenics isn’t: Neither are a people, but a subset of every people.
I’d lump it in with eugenics but genocide is catchy so I’ll permit it despite better semantic judgement.
EDIT: What, y’all disagreeing with me about the use of “genocide” being politically opportune?
How is lack of healthcare = Not being represented?
You are making a strawman argument, there is much more to it than not being represented.
I wager 9 out of 10 people that get super offended by anything not like them have a 64% chance to be gay, themselves.
You should be less involved and concerned with other people’s sexual preferences. It’s creepy.
We’re about to face a not so silent one in the US too :(
