Please compare it to lets say the Rwandan genocide.

Once they redefine either "biologically" or "female," like they have so many other terms, this will be true. Words have no meaning, and definitions can't be allowed to hurt feelings.
Unless the strict definition of genocide is met ?
I and many others view South African Apartheid a form of genocide
sounds perilously close to genocide to me...practiced by one group of whites against another group of whites in southern Africa...history is nothing if not ironic
Sounds a lot like Sherman's March to me, although the women and children in concentration camps presumably had access to food, which is more than Sherman's victims had after he torched their homes and crops and took or slaughtered their livestock.
Were the women and children deliberately killed in those concentration camps, or did they die of malnutrition and disease like prisoners of pretty much every war up to that point?
It's absolutely ridiculous. If you redefine one word you have to create a word to replace it. If you don't want "biologically female" to mean someone with two X chromosomes, you're going to have to come up with a new term. Genetically female? Two X Person?
Whatever you come up with doesn't matter. You've just replaced the word you were upset about with another word that means the same thing. It's a linguistic shell game.
To be fair, I don’t think this is a common view of progressives. I think most people understand there are actual genetic differences between the two sexes, but consider there to be a difference between sex and gender. There will be outliers out there that push weird definitions, but that’s all those are.
I think this is accurate, today. I personally keep an eye on this fringe social progressive stuff because it typically becomes mainstream progressive within a few years.
DoMA wasn't that long ago. Eddie Murphy did a skit in a movie making fun of the absurdity of reparations. The idea that "transvestites" should have protected rights to dress as a member of the opposite sex at work would have gotten you laughed at 15 years ago. Trying to convince someone there are more than two genders would have been impossible anywhere not on a college campus a decade ago. The push for married groups of more than two is well underway despite some of us being called ridiculous for predicting it after Obergefell.
Btw, the British strategy against the Afrikaans during the Second Boer War verged on genocide. Basically it was an application of Sherman's ideas of total war to break the will of a people to continue fighting. My great grandfather fought on the British side in the First Boer War and my grandfather in the Second Boer War. For me this is family history.
Handsome devils they were.

I think the point 57 is making is that Chipper didn't adopt Freddie, and Israel isn't committing genocide, and people using those terms in those cases aren't using them accurately. He points out two great examples of terms being used for something they don't mean. It's really no different than if I said I was going to eat a glass of water, or swim a few laps around the football field. I think this has been a really positive discussion.

Fortunately we have all learned from the Right that statues are meant to be a recording of history and it shouldn’t matter what they did during their lives.
