Genocide. Genocide. The fucking word is genocide. Fine reporting I guess but if the publication is going to directly allude to camps, they might as well use the goddamn correct term.

Not to say republicans are friendly to trans people, but it's quite a stretch to jump from "Trump proposing to move homeless people to tent cities" to "they're going to genocide genocide genocide everyone"

Well, that is not the part they are leaping from. Trump and project 2025 are very clear about their desire to eliminate trans people. No stretches, leaps, or jumps. They are doing the Nazi shit right now. It’s a genocide.

Why do you tolerate the moving of your countrymen into any camp?

Out of sight out of mind? There is no such thing. Any time we are dealing with undesirables, it's out of sight and dead. That's why we scream genocide. Historically, that's how it starts.

Homes for the homeless. Never camps. Never "tent cities."
