It's exhausting being #transgender in the US. Every day another state works to block gender affirming care for trans youth. Many have proposals in committees to ban rights and gender affirming care for all trans people. Some are actively pushing to reverse gender marker and name changes, making whatever appears on the ORIGINAL birth certificate immutable. Some are looking to ban whatever they consider "cross gender presentation". All of which punishable by law.

They're going after us because we're a subset of the LGBTQ minority where there are still some who would prefer us gone. They're going after us because we do not have the numbers to fight back and it's an easy place to start. It's not technically genocide if we're not an ethnic group. It's not technically genocide if you just criminalize a group's existence. It's not technically genocide if you harass a group to death.
