A trans Palestinian twitter user was posting that it didnt sit right with her and we had a little (polite) discussion about it.

i think it's a little linguistically weird to say "trans genocide" because our demographic origin isn't really like genocide-targeted groups, but that opinion doesn't diminish the importance of protecting trans people up to and including murdering fascists (in minecraft)

i would put forth "trans holocaust" as a better term since we (although i use the collective more loosely this time as agender invisibility meant i would've been sent to a camp for being a communist not for lacking gender) were targeted. not every genocide is a holocaust and there was more to the holocaust than genocide.

by way of comparison i would not also not call components of the holocaust a "communist genocide" or "trade unionist genocide"
