it looks like these links are talking about the horrible experiences transgender people have when in ICE custody, which is an issue in itself, but not about ICE specifically targeting trans people. i don’t want to diminish the importance, but i think it’s important to distinguish when that would kick us up to stage 7 of genocide against trans people
i’m referring to the 10 stages of genocide used by organizations like genocide watch that basically tracks progression of human rights violations into a full genocide. in the united states, we’ve progressed pretty far for trans people so it’s important to be vigilant on when it crosses that line. stage 7 is preparation, i mistyped– we’re actually already there. stage 8 progresses into actually rounding people up, which is why i want to be careful about what we’re putting out
