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.
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…
