The Trump administration is preparing to designate transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, two national security officials tell me…

The senior official explains that there is no process per se for dealing with trans people as a “threat group,” but feels that trans individuals will be increasingly targeted under the banner of “violent extremism.”

Under the plan being discussed, the FBI would treat transgender suspects as a subset of the Bureau’s new threat category, “Nihilistic Violent Extremists” (NVEs).

    ‘CNN reported that the Department of Justice was discussing denying trans people’s right to possess firearms on the rationale that transgenderism is “mental illness.”’

    The fuckin’ gall!! Defending you and your people from state tyrants is not mental illness. It is self-defense. These old geezer’s in charge are the generation that would call a wife openly disagreeing with them mental illness to shut them up and imprison them.

    Mental illness is surrounding yourself with delusional yes-men and working to protect a president who serially SAs because you’re desperate for power. It’s psychopathy, and it is capitalism that makes and promotes these people to the top of all the organized groups.
