Transgender Genozid
Man liest es immer wieder:
Aus der Wikipedia zu dem Thema:
Transgender genocide or trans genocide is a term used by scholars and activists to describe an elevated level of systematic discrimination and violence against transgender people.[citation needed] The term is related to the common meaning as well as the legal concept of genocide, which the Genocide Convention describes as an intentional effort to completely or partially destroy a group based on its nationality, ethnicity, race, or religion. Some legal scholars and transgender rights activists have argued this definition should be expanded to include transgender persons.
International law
Scholars have argued that the definition of genocide should be applied to transgender persons, or expanded to cover transgender persons, because they are victims of institutional discrimination, persecution, and violence.[23][24][25][26][2] In a 2008 academic article in hate studies, Jeremy Kidd and Tarynn Witten argue that abuse and violence against transgender people makes them a target of genocide as defined by the Genocide Convention, which would need to be reconfigured for their eligibility.[25] In line with the convention, they argue that transphobic discrimination and violence are not random or atomized, but rather come from the intent „to eradicate a group of people who violate a widely held and popularly reinforced norm of binary gender with a connection to heteronormative sexuality.“[25] They say that this motive of „eradication/annihilation“ (p. 51) is systemic, pandemic, institutionalized (e.g., through the penal system and military), and spread widely through media and film. They say that transgender people face an increased risk of abuse and violence throughout their lives and that, despite being targeted in ways that fit some criteria of the Genocide Convention, they do not have access to the same legal protections as other groups.[25]: 24The Rome Statute, a 1998 treaty that established the International Criminal Court and codified investigations into genocide, outlines a definition of gender-based persecution. This definition, however, only „refers to the two sexes, male and female.“[27] Valerie Oosterveld attributed this definition to conservative political pressure from states like Azerbaijan, the Holy See, and some nongovernmental organizations in the lead-up to the treaty’s adoption.[28] While this definition has not yet been litigated at the ICC, it is likely that it would be used to exclude transgender people from international legal protections.[27]
In a 2014 article, Brian Kritz assessed the ability of the International Criminal Court to protect and promote transgender rights, arguing that existing law should be explicitly extended to transgender people.[24] He noted that the lack of existing protections for transgender people under international law was in-and-of-itself „a violation of the basic human rights of the global transgender and intersex populations.“[24]: 38
Scholars have made similar arguments regarding the legal definition of crimes against humanity.[29][30]
In the past, international courts have interpreted genocidal sexual violence to be a problem of cisgender women alone, often classifying the same systematic sexual violence against all members, who are not cisgender women, as crimes against humanity, as was done by the United Nations International Fact-Finding Mission for Myanmar. Eichert argues that this interpretation „discounts the suffering of victims and needlessly weakens attempts to identify, prevent, and punish the crime of genocide“ and pleads for the field to adopt a broader understanding of genocidal sexual violence, which is not limited to cisgender women alone.[26]

Activism and criticism
Trans and other queer activists have used the term „transgender genocide“ to oppose discrimination and violence against transgender people, especially when seen as a global phenomenon.[44][45][46][47][48] In 2013, it was reported that, „…a coalition of NGOs from South America and Europe started the ‚Stop Trans Genocide‘ campaign.“[49][50][51] For example, the term was used by a Latin American trans activist who sought asylum in Germany.[52] In 2018, Planned Parenthood of New York City president Laura McQuade said in a speech that a Trump administration proposal to change federal recognition of transgender persons would lead to genocide.[53]
The use of the term „transgender genocide“ has been contested by hate crime expert Bernie Farber of the Canadian Jewish Congress as being insensitive to victims of recognized genocides, such as the Holocaust, because it does not meet the legal test, despite the „terrible crimes against the community.“[54] Discomfort with the term has also been expressed within the trans community, as Emily St. James writes: „Still, if I use the word “genocide” in, say, the headline of this article, I know almost every cis person who reads this will blanch, at least a little bit, then quibble with the word choice. I would agree, to some degree.“[55]
Zum Gebrauch des Begriffs wie ich ihn wahrnehme:
Ich greife die Definition aus der Wikipedia in der Übersetzung von deepl noch mal auf:
Transgender-Genozid oder Transgender-Völkermord ist ein Begriff, der von Wissenschaftlern und Aktivisten verwendet wird, um ein erhöhtes Maß an systematischer Diskriminierung und Gewalt gegen Transgender-Personen zu beschreiben. Der Begriff ist sowohl mit der allgemeinen Bedeutung als auch mit dem rechtlichen Konzept des Völkermords verwandt, das in der Völkermordkonvention als vorsätzlicher Versuch beschrieben wird, eine Gruppe aufgrund ihrer Nationalität, ethnischen Zugehörigkeit, Rasse oder Religion ganz oder teilweise zu vernichten. Einige Rechtswissenschaftler und Aktivisten für die Rechte von Transgender-Personen haben argumentiert, dass diese Definition auf Transgender-Personen ausgeweitet werden sollte.
Die Kunst ist es dann den Begriff der „Vernichtung“ auf quasi alles zu übertragen, was den Aktivisten nicht gefällt. In dem Zusammenhang scheinen sie schlicht jede Abkehr von ihren eigenen Ansichten als „Vernichtung“ umdeuten zu wollen.
Wer etwa eine Transfrau nicht als Frau ansieht „vernichtet“ sie. Wer sie nicht auf Frauentoiletten lässt, der „vernichtet“ sie. Wer Harry Potter liest oder entsprechende Spiele spielt „Vernichtet“ sie. Wer gegen das Self-ID Gesetz ist vernichtet sie.
Als verstärkendes Argument wird gerne angeführt, dass jede Nichtakzeptanz die Selbstmordrate erhöht, was die Sache natürlich näher an eine Vernichtung bringt. Man kann dadurch bei jeder nach deren Ideologie gegen Transpersonen gerichteten Handlung direkt Tötungsabsicht unterstellen und damit eben die Befürwortung eines Genozids.
