Definitions of genocide tend to use gendered language that definitionally disallows trans people from being the target of a genocide.

It’s important to recognize that feminine people are disproportionately the victims of rape during genocides and that this is a common pattern, but iirc it’s these sections that tend to preclude trans genocide from existing in an official capacity
