If transgenderism were to be considered a religion, would it count as genocide?
Religion is just ideas and practices (occasionally, but not always, associated with a specific ethnic group) yet religious genocide is recognized as a form of genocide and destroying cultural practices (such as the conversion of native American children, from their ancestral beliefs and ways of living, to Christianity) is considered a genocidal act even if it does not involve killing or discouraging their proliferation.
I'm not bringing this up to defend troons, but rather because the definition of genocide covers some groups that are not a result of genetics, such as religion and culture. Based on that, troons can argue that their "culture" is being destroyed and thus they are experiencing genocide.
But regardless of whether they are or are not, and regardless of the definition of genocide, there are simply some cultures, ideas, and practices that do not deserve to exist.
I wouldn't say so because it's still something that could spring up on its own. There have been crazies through history that come to similar conclusions to them without having Twitter to explain it to them, the difference is they were recognized as loonies and at best humored due to their status.
No one's going to come to the conclusion the world rests on the back of a turtle without being told that, so if no one teaches it it dies.
