On day 1 of his second administration, President Donald Trump tried to legally erase trans people from the United States. Moves since then prove that the end goal Trump and his team are moving towards is much closer to a physical trans genocide.

The CDC order (issued to comply with a deadline from the federal Office of Personnel Management) requires that any and all papers that have been submitted but not yet fully made it to print be pulled and scrubbed of a wide range of blacklisted terms... "Gender, transgender, pregnant person, pregnant people, LGBT, transsexual, non-binary, nonbinary, assigned male at birth, assigned female at birth, biologically male, biologically female."

Founded in 1919 in Germany, the Institute for Sexual Research studied trans issues, called for trans equality, and performed the first modern gender-affirming surgeries in 1930. In May 1933, the Nazis set back trans rights and healthcare by decades when they looted the institute and burned the books that contained extensive research into trans identities. The eradication of the knowledge was so complete that many today don't know of the institute's existence or the groundbreaking work that it conducted.

Nazi book burnings might feel distant from what we're experiencing now. But scrubbing datasets and blacklisting terms for research is the modern equivalent. It has the same motivations. It has the same impact on our understanding. And we have to do more than just hope that it doesn't end in the same place.
