According to a September 18 report by independent journalist Ken Klippenstein, two anonymous national security officials said that the Bureau is discussing treating trans subjects as a subset of its new threat category, "Nihilistic Violent Extremists" (NVEs), which was created earlier this year. The Bureau defines "Nihilistic Violent Extremism" as "criminal conduct... in furtherance of political, social, or religious goals that derive primarily from a hatred of society at large and a desire to bring about its collapse by sowing indiscriminate chaos."
Officials said that such a classification would give the Trump administration "political (and media) cover" as they escalate their anti-trans campaign in the aftermath of right-wing pundit Charlie Kirk's death.
In a petition launched on Thursday, the Heritage Foundation and its spin-off group, the Oversight Project, asked the FBI to designate "Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism" (TIVE) as a domestic terrorism threat category.
... if such a category is adopted by the FBI, it could be applied to rhetoric used by activists, writers, and allies speaking out against anti-trans policies and rhetoric.---------------------------------------
This is obviously being promoted by people who do not know any transgender people.
Interestingly, the reasoning could equally apply to the MAGA ideology.
I wonder how much longer the American people will tolerate this insanity.
