Project 2025 pushes FBI to label ‘trans extremists’ as terrorists

Right-wing lobbyists behind Project 2025 have petitioned the FBI to brand “trans ideology” a terror threat in the US, according to PinkNews.

The Heritage Foundation, a right-wing think tank, called on the government agency to add what it called “Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism” to its list of domestic extremist groups in an effort to “detect, disrupt, and dismantle” groups it considered a threat.

In its petition, the organisation cited the death of right-wing pundit Charlie Kirk as an example of what it is calling “TIVE extremism,” despite there being no definitive evidence that Kirk’s death was related to trans people or issues.

Kirk, 31, was shot in the neck during a debate on gun violence at Utah Valley University. The suspected shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, has been charged with aggravated murder and could face the death penalty.

The Heritage Foundation and its spin-off group, the Oversight Project, claimed that several “horrific acts of political violence” were committed in the name of trans rights, failing to offer evidence for this claim.

It further claimed, with little evidence, that Christians were primarily targeted by so-called ‘trans extremists’.
