Transgender genocide or trans genocide is a term used by some scholars and activists to describe genocide targeted towards transgender people as well as describe an elevated level of systematic discrimination and violence against transgender people.
The term is related to the common meaning as well as the legal concept of genocide, which the Genocide Convention describes as an intentional effort to completely or partially destroy a group based on its nationality, ethnicity, race, or religion.[2] Some legal scholars and transgender rights activists have argued this definition should be expanded to include transgender persons.[3]
