How is that genocide? No one is being killed, no culture is being erased, no community is being wiped out. People might be persuaded to change their viewpoints but they are not forced to or sent to re-education camps.

This seems identical to saying that convincing someone with anorexia that they aren't overweight is "social death", and "social death" is (somehow) genocide.

I.e. it's nonsense.

Using the same word “genocide” for what is happening in Gaza and what is happening in the US seems to make language pretty useless.

To say nothing of using the same word as what happened in the holocaust or to the Armenians or native Americans or Rwanda or is happening in Xinjiang....

		This is what I have been saying for years. The far-left progressives have literally raped language beyond all recognition. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Men are women.

The obvious difference is that people with anorexia die and people who transition live happily.

dysphoria is certainly a mental illness, transitioning is merely one possible treatment for it (though, pushed as one of the first rather than as one of the last options, which I personally find concerning.)

Body dysphoria is a recognised mental illness.

		Being gay is not generally recognised as mental illness, although it has been in the past. Being trans is less well defined (historically even being gay was not well defined, or defined the same way).
