JusticeForPorygonIn case anyone was still wondering how people just stood by when Hitler took over Germany
fuzzy_ad!remindme in 4 years when a genocide does not take place.
I wish you had the capacity to understand how juvenile these types of comments are.
There’s literally an internment camp planned at gitmo.
The hyperbole has been going on so long that maybe it’s easy to miss that it’s getting progressively more accurate.
So are they going to start murdering people there? Like in the holocaust?
Yes. Trump’s administration called for “a genocide of trans people” (direct quotation) once the election was over, before he was even in office.
Trans people are having their government IDs and identifying documents seized when they try to renew their passports. Any info on gender is being scrubbed from medical and scientific research papers as we speak. An executive order was passed saying that there are only 2 genders in the US, and passports no longer accept an X gender marker.
Then there’s the immigrants being deported. They need camps to house all of them in.
All of this is very much in line with Nazi Germany, from the burning of research from the Institute of Sexual Wellness (remember the famous picture of Nazis burning books? All research and medical records from the Institute relating to gay and trans people) to the camps for immigrants, gays, socialists, and, later on, Jews which began being built 53 days after Hitler took office.
Where is the quote?
Flying SquidHere you go. Now it’s time for you to claim the quote isn’t real or that they weren’t saying what we think they were or that it doesn’t count.

And not only will I be nice enough to give you a paywall bypass link…
I will even be nice enough to take a screenshot for you:
Can’t wait to hear what excuses you’ll make…
You’re right, I’m absolutely going to say it doesn’t count.
Doesn’t it say it right in the article itself? “Knowles subsequently claimed that it…is not a call for eradicating transgender people.”
So you are conflating getting rid of the concept of transgenderism with murdering transgender people? You guys love doing this.
Let’s go back to your original quote:
Trump’s administration called for “a genocide of trans people” (direct quotation)
It was not said. Michael Knowles is a speaker at CPAC, and a Daily Wire host. Not a member of the Trump admin.
My original comment was removed for misinformation, but I won’t be surprised that yours won’t.
I was downvoted 11 times just for asking you for a quote that doesn’t exist.
I knew you’d find all sorts of reasons why one of them saying the quiet part out loud doesn’t count, including believing him when he said he wasn’t calling for genocide despite the article very clearly explaining why he was.
And when trans people are loaded onto boxcars, you’ll still be there denying it.
I’d hate to know what you would have been like in the 1940s.
And when trans people are loaded onto boxcars
Well maybe if Trans people are using Ubers to go protest and you say that it means they’re being put in boxcars to get sent to concentration camps to be exterminated by modern nazis I’ll disagree with you then as well.
What are you even talking about?
dandelionWould be helpful to have a link to the quote - searching for it I’m having trouble finding it. I think I have seen language about “removing transgenderism from public life” or something like that. They seem to be bringing back rhetoric used against gay folks in the 1980s, e.g. emphasizing how the “homosexuals” groom children, how they just need to not flaunt their (sexualized / perverted) lifestyle in front of the children, how it’s fine if they’re gay in private - just not in public, etc.
The quote has been buried in all the anti-trans executive orders that have been passed in the past week. I tried looking for it as well, since I saw at least a couple of articles that had quoted it directly from somebody in his administration, but all you can find now are the executive orders banning trans people from the military, etc.
Are you sure the word “genocide” was used? I think they have generally kept to more round-about language like “eradicating gender ideology”, etc. - I don’t think they would want to characterize what they’re doing as a genocide so directly.
Yes, it was 100% used in those words. “A genocide of trans people” was what somebody in his administration said.
Once they had the election, what little of the mask was left started to come off immediately. They have no reason to hide it any longer.
huh, I’m definitely not finding that anywhere …
I wish I could find one of the articles, because I sent a link of one to a buddy of mine who works with a trans girl who’s a MAGA idiot so he could show her what Trump thinks of people like us. But there’s a reason that he spews so much garbage every day, and it’s for this exact circumstance - to overwhelm and bury us in a constant stream of outrage.
maybe, but there are advanced methods of searching that allow you to filter by exact phrases or key-words, to search within a particular timeline, etc. and nothing with the word “genocide” is showing up associated with Trump and trans people even going back months and years. Do you know who published the article, like what website it may have come from? Anything to help narrow the search can be helpful.
Unfortunately, I don’t. I remember seeing 2 articles immediately pop up when I searched for a link for my friend, but I couldn’t tell you what news sites they were and when I tried to find them again I had the same results as everyone else - I couldn’t find the articles about that quote, just generalized statements possibly implying it, at most.
It was back in December, though, after the election, and it came from somebody in his administration, not Trump specifically, which makes it harder to find. Especially with the ongoing flurry of anti-trans legislation being passed right now.
I searched through several pages of search results for every explicit mention of “genocide” between December 1st and December 31st of 2024, but without reference to Gaza, Palestine, Rwanda, or Uyghur.
At some point most of the results are just instagram and tiktok links - most of the news articles are in the first page of results. Nothing mentions trans or gender, etc.
duckduckgo.com/?q="genocide"+-Gaza+-Palestine+-Rw…
I tried lots of other searches, such as just looking for Trump official or Trump administration official, etc.
This was notable, but genocide is not explicitly mentioned: glaad.org/trumps-nominees/
There was a lot of talk about Trump’s nominees for various positions in December, could the article have been related to that?
Was the person who said it a part of Trump’s prior administration? (Trump had no administration in December.)
