This week on Transpositive PDX, we confront a difficult but urgent topic:
Is a transgender genocide underway?
Using the framework of the Ten Stages of Genocide, we will explore how escalating rhetoric, laws, and violence against transgender people in the U.S. and abroad mirror patterns seen in other historical genocides. From dehumanizing language and legal erasure to organized discrimination, we’ll trace how these stages unfold — and where we are now.
But this show is not just about warning signs. It’s about resistance. We’ll talk about what it means to build solidarity, community care, and collective action in a time of rising authoritarianism. We’ll hear from trans voices pushing back against hate and creating spaces of joy, safety, and survival.
This episode is a call to awareness — and a call to action.
Because genocide doesn’t begin with camps — it begins with silence.
And we will not be silent.
Transpositive PDX centers the voices and experiences of transgender and nonbinary people every Tuesday at 6pm on KBOO 90.7 FM and streaming worldwide at KBOO.fm.
