The Heritage Foundation wants transgender people and allies designated as terrorists

"to add a new designation to its list of domestic violent extremist groups for Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism, falsely claiming violence from trans people and allies is increasing. Related: What is the Heritage Foundation, the group behind the terrifying Republican Project 2025 agenda? "TIVE is based on the belief that violence is justified against those who do not share radical views of transgender ideology. It has led to an increasing trend of TIVE domestic terrorist events across the country," reads a release from the organization."

""Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them," Alejandra Caraballo, a Harvard law instructor and trans legal expert, posted on BlueSky. "They want us all eradicated.""

"Trans people make up less than a percent of mass shooters. They are much more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators. Mass shooters tend to be cisgender men.

Prosecutors in Utah say shooting suspect Tyler Robinson was in a romantic relationship with a transgender roommate."

The Heritage Foundation urged the FBI to add a Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism (TIVE) designation to its list of domestic violent extremist groups, claiming rising violence by trans people and allies. The proposal characterizes TIVE as rooted in a belief that violence is justified against those who reject transgender ideology and alleges an increase in related domestic terrorist events. Available data show transgender people make up under one percent of mass shooters and are far more often victims than perpetrators, while mass shooters are predominantly cisgender men. The proposal followed the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and drew immediate condemnation from transgender advocates who called out fabricated instances and misleading statistics.
