Your definition is inaccurate to the point of not making sense.
To be clear, I am not defending them, but the people carrying out these attacks don't see being trans as an inherent part of the person.
By the definition of "genocide" you gave, wanting to eliminate (for example) illiteracy would involve genocide against illiterate people; it's one heck of a jump.
There's a substantial gap between "get rid of the thing we see as helping cause this" and "kill everyone affected by this."
You're comparing a religion to not knowing how to read?
No, I'm comparing word usage and was clarifying why the statement was inaccurate.
And in doing so, your go-to example was comparing a Religion to Illiteracy, implying Religion in and of itself is a mental defect...
Ya know who believed Religion was a mental defect? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_of_Adolf_Hitler
I know I just broke Godwin's law, but.. Jesus
What? This reads as nonsense to me, apologies.
I didn't comment on religion, and the illiteracy aspect was completely irrelevant to what I stated. It was purely an example.
I think you misread what I said quite severely.
