he’s etymologically wrong about genocide. it doesn’t come from genetics, it comes from the greek word genos, which meant race or people. we know this because the guy who coined the term, raphael lemkin, said that was where it came from

[@spacecase8888]

A race or a people would be genetically linked. The word gene comes from the same root as genos. Regardless, I think people overuse the word genocide. In the case of trans people, who are not even a race (other than human race), probably the better word to use would be extermination. They want to exterminate trans people. Few of them will actually say it, but a lot of them think it.

[@Vynjira-chan]

@@samc3030 It's also worth noting that even if it had come from Genetics, we've been studying the biological underpinnings of what makes someone Transgender for a long time, and we have discovered a variety of Genes that are Unique to Transgender people.. thus why the conversation has moved towards classifying it as a DSD.. that is often even caused by a variety of more well known Intersex conditions. Someone with Androgen or Estrogen Insensitivity Syndrome, for instance.. and what gets complicated is actually that certain Fertility drugs have been known to cause Mutations in the developing Fetus that does cause Estrogen Insensitivity. So we're looking at multiple different potential causes.. but either way.. you're not getting past the fact that Transgender People are not Delusional.. that ship has long since sailed.. on the conclusion it's not a Mental Illness.

[@sandrols7]

It does not even matter. His comment is "i'm not calling for genocide, IE the erasure of these people, because genocide is about genes..." No matter how you then define "genocide", Michael Knowles still didn't deny that he wants erasure of some group of people.

"the best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity." - Yeats

[@cosmicphoto05]

The term "genocide" was coined by linguist and lawyer Raphael Lemkin. He sought to find a word that could succinctly apply to the act of eradicating a group of people-either through violence, or cultural displacement: "Genocide has two phases: one, destruction of the national pattern of the oppressed group; the other, the imposition of the national pattern of the oppressor. This imposition, in turn, may be made upon the oppressed population which is allowed to remain, or upon the territory alone, after removal of the population and colonization of the area by the oppressor's own nationals." (from "A Problem from Hell" by Samantha Power) While Lemkin doesn't specifically address LGBTQ+ folks-since he's talking about "national patterns"-the Right's rhetoric and actions with regard to LGBTQ+ folks certainly fits the pattern of behavior mentioned in Lemkin's description.

[@Reienroute]

The argument that a gender identity can't "ontologically" exist really points to a lack of metacognition on the part of the person making that argument. What aligns their identity with their birth sex? I'd assume they would answer that by saying that they simply know what their sex is, but does this knowledge itself suddenly make them like blue over pink, or prefer trucks over dolls, or sports over cooking, or whatever other gender roles they prescribe to behaviors that all humans should be capable of identifying with on some level without this preemptive meddling with the collective sense of social valuation? Of course it's not the simple knowledge of "what" you are that dictates your preferences in these prescribed roles. There's something else. Something more innate to the individual's identity which either draws them closer to or further away from those cultural norms. And what about their lack of impulse to reject the "what" of their existence? Again, it's not pure knowledge that makes them perfectly fine with their birth sex. Something in their brain chemistry or their neurophysiology is predetermining their sense of cohesion with their sex. Things which can be altered by something as simple as hormonal levels in the womb. What people like Knowles are missing in their analysis of the concept of trans(or cis) identity is self knowledge regarding their own fundamental source of identity. They take it for granted as a face value acknowledgement of "being" rather than conceding even an ounce of their sense of autonomous existence to the soup inside of their skulls which handles literally every single afferent synapse behind every single subjective sensation they'll ever experience, including whatever they feel about their own biological sex. They like to think of their thoughts and feelings as some sort of non-mechanistic, higher order agency, and they project that delusion onto the more down-to-earth causal explanations for the concept of identity, turning it into a strawman proclamation of some spiritual or symbolic state of biological transcendentalism. Their view of the world is over simplistic because their view if themselves is over simplistic. They're motivated more by grandiosity than by curiosity.

[@mantispunch]

Thank you for adding this. I had an argument with someone because they only see gender and sex as the same thing and think that trans people aren't "living as their true selves" which doesn't make sense because how can your genitals tell you how to live your life? Also they said that since one researcher on gender did some awful experiment then the other thousands of psychiatry experts and gender studies scientists are wrong.

Although “strength” is somewhat more malleable as there is both relative strength and absolute strength, being a woman is not. You are either female or you are not. Also trans “women” are different from real women in the fact that they don’t have XX chromosomes, are unable to get pregnant, and do not have the female reproductive system.

I am genuinely scared of what is going on. He has so many views and so many people agree with him. And the most shocking thing to me is how he makes everyone believe he is "reasonable" and "stating facts" when everything he says is so biased and scientifically inaccurate. He doesn't even know what the correct etymology of genocide is, but he still makes everyone believe he is logical. He always try to present himself in this way, even when he manipulates information and change facts by manipulating data. In one of his videos he actually used a statistical parameter incorrectly, by comparing the number of events of two population, the Jews and the transgender people, claiming that Jews hate crimes are more, so the issue of transgender people is less relevant. But this is a wrong way of comparing these population, because the Jews population is bigger of the trans one in USA, and he should have used ODDS or PROPORTION to prove his point. And yeah, when using the correct statistical indicators, you'd actually see that a trans person is more likely to experience hate crimes. (This doesn't mean that we should ignore the hate crimes against Jews, it was simply an example to prove how he changes things to sound more reasonable). Before I thought he was simply an ignorant that didn't understand science and statistic, but now I'm starting to wonder if he is actually a manipulator, who is trying to destroy and erase transgender people entirely. Firstly, he invalidated transgender people by saying that dysphoria is ONLY confusion, that science is against us and that doctors only support us for their income. Then he made his viewers think we are an issue to them, highlighting how we "destroy the figure of the woman", how we are a threat to their safety because we want to occupy by force their private spaces and that we are even a threat to children because we try our best to brainwash them and make them believe that they should change sex. And after he had gained enough consent, he started to demonstrate what he really wanted. I'm honestly concerned by this, and I hope that more people understand that this individual is only acting for his own agenda, not for women, not for children, only for his enormous hate.

Dr. Raphaël Lemkin, originator of the term, wrote: "Like all social phenomena, genocide represents a complex synthesis of a diversity of factors; but its nature is primarily sociological, since it means the destruction of certain social groups by other social groups or the individual representatives … … genocide is a gradual process and may begin with political disenfranchisement, economic displacement, cultural undermining and control, the destruction of leadership, the break-up of families and the prevention of propagation. Each of these methods is a more or less effective means of destroying a group. Actual physical destruction is the last and most effective phase of genocide” - Lemkin, "Introduction to the Study of Genocide" Michael Knowles, with his "we need to correct that delusion", sounds very much like Heinrich Himmler.

Genocide's root word is from Greek, genos (race) + cide (killing). So, uh, no, genocide has nothing to do with genetics. When the Greeks coined the term for race, they didn't know genes existed. Edit: Man, I should have waited. You got to this point.

[@Rachel_M_]

Greeks are a couple of thousand years old. Genes were discovered in the 1950's.. Genes get their names from the Greek word, not vice versa as Knowles claims.

As a transgender woman, I fail to understand how our mere existence is, somehow political??? All we want is to be left alone to live our lives in peace. The nonsense about us using bathrooms is absolutely insane. I don’t know of any trans person who would harm anyone. Accusing us of disgusting lewd acts is crazy. The last thing any trans person wants to do is draw attention to ourselves when doing so pretty much goes completely against the grain of trying to seamlessly fit into society. I couldn’t imagine doing things like that when that would go against all of my morals and undoubtably threaten my safety and well-being.there is no common sense to their accusations.

[@benjaminfranklin8412]

Genocide equals murdering people. He never called for murdering people. Period.

[@AnarchoAngel]

Genocide DOES NOT mean that. Killing people is one of the last steps of genocide. Genocide consists in the discrimination, dehumanization and exclusion from the social and public life of a specific category of people

[@benjaminfranklin8412]

@Dario Delvai a rather broad definition but let's go with that. Knowles believes that telling children they are actually the opposite sex is dehumanizing, that medicating children with puberty blockers is abusive and dehumanizing....so he would would argue pro-puberty blocker advocates are genocidal (according to your definition). Now, is he proposing discrimination and exclusion....we would have to break it down, but you have an argument. Of course he would likely argue you are discriminating against children who have gender dysphoria by denying them a human right to experience puberty....so he would argue you are being genocidal...but I see how you have come to your argument.

[@AnarchoAngel]

@@benjaminfranklin8412 there's no way in hell you're telling MY views are genocidal 💀💀 Your reasoning doesn't make sense, not in the slightest. Do you even know how a genocide works??? It's not about rounding people in camps and killing them, that's probably the last step. Genocide is an organized plan: The first step is the classification of the target (trans people), the second step is symbolisation, just like the Nazi used David stars to identify Jews, the third step is discrimination (which is undoubtedly happening in the US) and the fourth is dehumanization (see how trans people are being called deviants, groomers and abusers) and then there's all the process of intense political and social propaganda aimed at making the general population side with the oppressors (fear mongering, "they're coming for your kids" etc) Can't you see it???

[@benjaminfranklin8412]

@Dario Delvai I see people targeting teachers and doctors who are saying we should medicalize kids with gender dysphoria. I don't see any political targeting of trans adults. If trans adults came out and agreed with the bills protecting single-sex categories in sports and opposed puberty blockers and gender identity training in elementary schools, the debate would likely end fairly quickly. If trans adults fairly stated they hadn't changed their sex but wanted rights and freedoms regarding gender identity without impinging on the rights of women who want single-sex spaces, the whole debate would end. No one is advocating for murder or dehumanization. Quite the opposite. It is because children and men with gender dysphoria are human that the debate is so volatile and complex. Most women perceive all men as men and boys as boys and want reasonable legal compromises.

[@AnarchoAngel]

@@benjaminfranklin8412 oh yeah, there surely isn't a political targeting of adult trans people! Nah nah, all the bills that conservatives are trying to pass to limit gender affirming care for trans people of ALL ages simply don't exist, right? And oh yeah of course, if trans people just accepted and complied about being treated as second class citizens we wouldn't have any problem!!

@@Anti-CommunistCommunitarian It is one thing for an individual to believe they are in the wrong body but quite another to sell the notion that you could be in the wrong body.
