Violence and hate against LGBTQ communities is often overlooked when talking about extremism. - Institute for Strategic Dialogue
“While we are not surprised that the genocidal nature of anti-trans ideology is finally being made explicit, we wish to call attention to the radicalization of the movement’s agenda that is betrayed by these explicit expressions. Now that ideologues of hate can openly call for the elimination of transgender identity – in the very country that has been most open to the transgender community over the last decade – we are at a new stage in the global threat against transgender people.” says the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention after issuing a genocide Red Flag Alert for the US.
The Lemkin Institute reminds American voters and legislators that “the gender critical movement is a totalitarian and genocidal social force that targets not just transgender people, but also all the institutions of democracy that protect individual and collective human rights,” as we pointed out in our statement on November 29, 2022. Anti-trans legislation, anti-trans organizations, and the anti-trans movement must be fought forcefully in the name of saving lives as well as securing democratic institutions from the accelerating threat of fascism in the United States.
