@F3715H@rubber.social @wendythedruid@thistlenfern.org Thats a fairly broad definition. Does that mean you consider #abortion of the unborn to be #genocide too? In my mind, it is #murdering human beings of any category that has been #dehumanized and I will never support harming other people in any way. I'm certain you agree.

@wendythedruid@thistlenfern.org @F3715H@rubber.social "national, racial, religious or ethnic group" see how gender and sexual minorities are not in that list? Strikingly similar to how they are not in the German constitution as the only group targeted by Nazis not in Art. 3 GG... Digging up German history you'll find that §175 criminalising gay people was kept after the war and gay concentration camp survivors were often put into prison. The group that wasn't liberated by the allies. Oh, not to forget the fate of Alan Turing. While the global transgender community receives frequent mention as the “T” under the umbrella of so-called LGBT rights, the international call for increased prevention of rights abuses against transgender persons, promotion of transgender rights, and protection of transgender communities pales in comparison to the similar call for the global LGB population.(Kritz 2014)In the arguably seminal moment in her [Hilary Clinton 2011] speech, she stated that “gay rights are human rights, and human rights are gay rights,” leaving transgender persons conspicuously absent.9 While working for the United States Agency for International Development as a Democracy Fellow and Senior Rule of Law and Human Rights Advisor in December 2011, I heard from colleagues that an initial draft of this sentence included “transgender,” but “transgender” was stricken from the final draft of the speech, leaving transgender rights outside of the “most tweetable” moment of her speech.(Kritz 2014) It has system. It is no accident and not a mere oversight. Kritz, Brian A. 2014. „The Global Transgender Population and the International Criminal Court“.
