US EditionProject 2025 authors call on FBI to classify trans rights activists as potential security threats: Report
The Heritage Foundation's petition claims an increase in violence linked to transgender ideology despite data showing transgender individuals account for about 0.1% of mass shootings, experts say.
- Right-Wing pundit Charlie Kirk was shot dead in Utah during a gun violence debate at Utah Valley University, with Tyler Robinson charged for the killing.
- Robinson was not transgender, and authorities found no evidence linking his motive to transgender issues despite his trans roommate cooperating with police.
- In response, the Heritage Foundation and its spin-off, the Oversight Project, petitioned the FBI to classify 'Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism' as a domestic terror threat.
- They claim TIVE justifies violence against opponents of transgender ideology and cited Kirk's killing among 11 extreme acts, though data shows less than 0.1 percent of mass shootings involve transgender people.
- This move suggests increased federal focus on transgender-related extremism amid political debates, while critics highlight weak evidence and warn of reinforcing anti-trans rhetoric.
