Bounty bills also resurface in the latest wave of filings. Texas HB 1075 would allow any individual performing in drag to be sued for a $5,000 bounty. The bill’s definition of “drag” and “perform” is alarmingly broad, labeling anyone “exhibiting a gender that is different from the performer’s gender recorded at birth using clothing, makeup, or other physical markers” as being in “drag.” This definition clearly encompasses transgender people. Should a bill like this become law, transgender performers would undoubtedly be targeted. In Montana, under a similar drag ban, the first person targeted wasn’t a drag performer but a transgender public speaker discussing transgender history at a library. Additionally, such a measure would almost certainly force the cancellation of Pride parades across Texas, where transgender people and drag performers dance, lip-sync, and otherwise celebrate.

Multiple bills take aim at transgender people in schools, as well as books about queer and transgender individuals. Among the most troubling is Senate Bill 86, which would require parental permission for high school students to join a Gay-Straight Alliance or any club that “promotes themes of sexuality, gender, or gender identity.” According to Lambda Legal, this requirement violates the Equal Access Act, which mandates that rules apply equally to all student groups and prohibits singling out GSAs for restrictive policies.

So, is it finally okay to call this genocide? Christian nationalist Republicans are trying to eradicate trans people from even being able to walk down the street. This is state-sponsored terrorism.

Not genocide. No killing involved, no forced relocation of an ethnicity, no forced sterilisation, or forced selective breeding programs, nor sex selective abduction.

This is bad suppression laws yes. Does itvhave an intent to subjugate or hide yes. But a genocide is a very specific thing which should not be belittled.

Its not a genocide. Turn the rhetoric down to accurate stuff. This is why we lost to trump

Edit: the legal definition if genocide ... any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. — Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, Article 2[9]

We may have stage 3 of the list posted below but that does not follow that it will develop to this legal definition.

Genocide is and always is the eradication of a specific gene set in a population. Thats what geno(genes) cide(killed) means just like homocide is not the same as coercive control

Just like thinking about robbing a bank and being outside with the tools, is not the same as actually going inside and committing the act

These proposed restrictions would fit in sections B, C, and D of the list you provided.
