The US’s treatment of trans people already falls under the UN’s definition of genocide. They’re trying to wipe us out in our entirety. The UK is as well.
To add more context, the push to ban trans affirming care even in adults is not going to make people magically detransition. It’s intended to make us kill ourselves. Trans people already have one of the highest suicide rates due to how society tends to treat us. It’s close to 50% attempted (specifically measured at 41% in 2011 under Obama, but I admittedly haven’t kept up with that stat)
Another issue is that HRT isn’t something you can just turn off, especially at later stages in transition, and will cause all sorts of major medical issues such as osteoporosis. Cutting off our medication is intended to kill us slowly if not through suicide.
Also, nearly all trans people are neurodivergent, so RFK talking about throwing autistic and ADHD people in labor camps extends to us too.
Finally, states like Florida have laws that can take away trans children from supportive parents which fits another UN definition of genocide:
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
