Yes. Trans or not, you must be not listening to your own words, thinking that the Holocaust started in 1941, not in the vilification and anti-Jewish legislation during the Nazi dictatorship. And this is a successful strategy for current genociders, having an outrageous, colossal example of industrialized terror to terminate thought.

Your argument is like, "can you really call anything murder when Dahmer ate so many people? Just killing somebody can't be murder in comparison". No, it is not a relative quantity, is a yes or no question, based on specific international criteria.

The answer to which is "Yes". Having numbers of people drawn to suicide because you banned their health care on religious fundamentalist grounds is textbook genocide. The only debate between experts is because trans people are not immediately recognized as an ethnic or religious group. (But, well, the reasoning of a hate crime is a burden of the perpetrator, isn't it? They're killing us for religious reasons, so in my opinion this is not even a debate.)

BTW, it is the same state-actors pushing both genocides, so your whataboutism comes home to bite you. You are either able to see through the lying teeth of genocide criminals, or you believe what other people want you to think.

Here are some experts to school you:

Banning the healthcare of a minority group, systemically refusing to recognize their existence, treating them as a group with less rights, banning them from certain spaces, making them face horrific conditions when incarcerated, supporting hatred against them that leads to killings...

Okay, yeah, that does make sense.
