From the article:

The report’s authors invented a “Clinical Gender Affirmation Scale” (CGAS) to measure respondents’ support of trans people. The CGAS asked respondents whether they agreed with five statements affirming the importance of respecting trans people’s gender identities, their gender expression, names, and pronouns, as well as child gender-exploration.

The report noted that these affirming standards are consistent with the best practices of the American Psychological and Psychiatric Associations, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health.

The survey also included 11 questions asking respondents to assess the perceived dangerousness to trans Americans from groups like Republicans, right-wingers, Christians, police, white nationalists, the US Supreme Court, men, white people, cisgender people, and the LGBTQ community; six questions asking about respondents’ support of setting fire to ICE buildings, damaging wealthy people’s property, violence against the police, and the killings of Donald Trump, MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk, and Brian Thompson (the CEO murdered by Luigi Mangione); as well as one question asking whether “transgender people are facing genocide” in the US.

That last question seems to evidence their intent. This whole thing seems like an effort to see who is most needing to be killed first since they’d likely fight back. Wouldn’t even be surprised if even this article source was on a list.

    If you’re a fascist government, being a “terrorist” is a reasonable position.

    Remember - the conservatives are the same dipshits that try to claim that Trump Derangement Syndrome, TDS (sigh - they cannot even be original, of course) is a mental disorder. Because yeah, pointing out the crimes, the incompetency, the insanity, the cruelty, the stupidity, of donnie and his minions is “derangement” and not something conservatives just use to cover their butthurt.

    We can laugh, but the Soviets were rather famous in declaring perfectly sane people as “insane” and then off to the gulags with them…

    Interesting how when this administration attacks a minority, that group becomes terrorist. at this point, I’m sure they consider women, the disabled, books, and even safe food as terrorist

    New report I just made up says people in the Trump Admin are more likely to be terrorists.

      There was an attack on the capital by MAGA, where everyone involved was let out of jail by this administration. It’s terrorism and support for terrorism all in one.

    Oh I know I’m going to be arrested by the Trump Regime. I’m a trans gender woman after all, I fully expect to be forced to register as a sex offender for the crime of driving while trans.

      Bold of you to assume they’d limit themselves to merely forcing you to register on a list. Last go around, they used pink triangles.

    I’m gonna keep saying this. -The funny thing about the term “terrorist” is that its definition fits almost every single belligerent in every international conflict as well as many internal conflicts in the world.

    This whole thing seems like an effort to see who is most needing to be killed first since they’d likely fight back.

    They know who that is, roughly speaking. The ID isn’t the issue. They’ve moved fast in many respects.

    But they’re chicken shit, and the hobnobbed fascist boots of their grandfather’s too big for the whining children.

    That should be evident by the lengths ICE goes to target the least likely to be able to defend themselves and always travel in terrified cliques instead of operationally controlled groups.

    And don’t even get me started on the pig farms. Overwhelming strength of materiel is not overwhelming strength of will. Killology doesn’t make warriors, it makes twitchy cowards.
