    That’s taken completely out of context and you know it.

    It’s not calling for trans people to be eradicated, it’s calling for the current trans ideologies, where if you’re a girl who likes trucks you must be trans and therefore must be rushed on to puberty blockers and get your breast removed, to be eradicated.

    No one is calling for trans people to be eradicated as in “killed”. That’s what Nazis did - they literally killed people by the millions.

        No one is suggesting or calling for a genocide. It’s not happening. It’s not going to happen. You’re just fear mongering to try and paint people you don’t like as Nazis.

        I swear some of you want an actual genocide so you can go “see I told you!!!”

          I call a spade a spade ♠️. Ask a trans person what they think Knowles meant. You won’t. Because you know what they’d say. And you don’t care , because you assert your ignorance as truth.

            It doesn’t matter what you or they think he meant - it’s clear what he meant because it’s literally what he said. He did not say anything about killing all trans people. He specifically talks about the ideologies that are being spread now that are causing an absurdly high, unbelievably so, percentage of kids to identify as trans.

            You’re the one asserting your ignorance as truth here. You’re pretending that it’s all a master plan for a trans genocide, with veiled messages and hidden meanings. It’s not.

          If you’re splitting hairs about what “eradicate” means, it says a lot about what you’re happy to defend.

          And why.

            You’re the one trying to put a different meaning on the word eradicate in the context that he used it.

            “We need to eradicate racism by stopping the use of harmful stereotypes” is not the same as “we need to kill all racist people”. Can you see the difference?

            Probably not.

      It’s not calling for trans people to be eradicated, it’s calling for the current trans ideologies

      I’d say this is a distinction without a difference, since both involve eradication of trans people from public life, but the latter involves eradication of the very idea that trans people exist. That’s worse.

      You’re being disingenuous. Then you move straight into the standard conservative bigoted lies which I’ll not quote.

      No one is calling for trans people to be eradicated as in “killed”.

      They absolutely are. Don’t insult people by expecting them to buy such hogwash.

        There very much is a difference.

        He’s calling for the “eradication” of the current trend of societal pressuring of kids to “be trans”. He’s calling for the trend of little boys being told they must be trans because they like the colour pink, for example, to be stopped. They’re kids, they don’t know any better, so when their parents start telling them that liking pink as a boy means they’re really a girl they will go along with it. Kids believe Santa is real because their parents tell them to. Kids aren’t smart.

        No one is calling for trans people to be killed. Got a source to back up your claim?
