Are you a person whose gender identity matches the gender you were assigned at birth? Are you worried for your friends, family, and sangha members who are trans, nonbinary, intersex, and/or gender-expansive? Are you confused about the terms and issues, and hesitant to ask? Please join us for a little bit of education and discussion on how we can support trans, nonbinary, and intersex individuals, including promotion of acceptance, awareness, and equal rights. The fight for trans rights is everyone’s responsibility.
As you may know, The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security has released a third Red Flag Alert for the USA related to the Trump Administration’s anti-trans initiatives, which have continued to expand nationwide.
They write:
The Administration has moved from identifying transgender people as a threat to the family and to the nation’s military prowess to claiming that transgender people constitute a cosmic threat to the spiritual health of the nation and the greatest direct threat to U.S. national security in the world. Given these ideological developments, especially coupled with the increasingly hostile and draconian legislation against trans identities, the Lemkin Institute believes that the United States is squarely within the early to middle stages of a genocidal process against trans people, the goal of which is to completely erase transgender people not only from public life but also from existence in the U.S. and globally.
