Given there's a lot of trans techies out there, and things will probably heat up sharply in the US following the Venezuela attack and Minneapolis ICE shooting, this seems like a worthwhile warning to share here.
Worth noting that Raphael Lemkin's family are taking legal action against the "Lemkin Institute" for misappropriating his name and publishing ridiculous articles like this that he wouldn't have agreed with.
NB: On looking into this, it appears to be one Lemkin relative (who claims to be working on behalf of the family) and a collection of Zionist organisations who take issue with the Institute's accurate description of Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide, in agreement with just about every competent national and international body you can think of from the International Association of Genocide Scholars and Israeli human rights orgs to the UN, Amnesty and Human Rights Watch.
More accurately, a Zionist descendant of Raphael Lemkin was working with Zionist organizations to abjure their characterization of the Gaza genocide as a genocide.
