New Trump admin reports says LGBTQ+ rights supporters more likely to be terrorists

Today, the Department of Health and Human Services released a 20-page pseudoscientific report entitled, "Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology?" The report concludes that "gender ideology is associated with left-wing authoritarianism and willingness to justify political violence," but its methodology and creation both align with the Trump administration's general anti-trans crusade.
Right-wing media outlets — like The New York Post, The Daily Caller, Blaze Media, and The Washington Examiner — are already citing the report to paint trans people and their allies as potentially violent. The report is just the administration's latest move in creating justifications to surveil and prosecute LGBTQ+ and allied groups that regularly challenge the president's relentlessly anti-democratic and unconstitutional actions.
The report surveyed 1,208 US adults, only 1.1% of whom identified as transgender/nonbinary and 55% of whom identified as Democrat-leaning. Seeing as other recent surveys showed an estimated 29% of US adults self-identifying as Democratic, the small pool of respondents in this recent report isn't a nationally representative sample.
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.

Quote from: Jessica_Rose on Today at 07:24:40 PM"gender ideology is associated with left-wing authoritarianism and willingness to justify political violence,"
Let's define Authoritarianism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarianism
Authoritarianism is a political system characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, and reductions in democracy, separation of powers, civil liberties, and the rule of law. Authoritarian regimes may be either autocratic or oligarchic and may be based upon the rule of a party, the military, or the concentration of power in a single person.
Authoritarianism is characterized by highly concentrated and centralized government power maintained by political repression and the exclusion of potential or supposed challengers by armed force. It uses political parties and mass organizations to mobilize people around the goals of the regime.
The article also has a list of authoritarian countries, including:
United States 2017–2021; 2025– Donald Trump See also Trumpism.

I already know what SPM-7 says about us. So, nothing else will surprise me. I will just prepare for when the time comes.
