I've seen a lot of people misunderstanding what this does and does not mean and Melissa does a great job explaining it's first and foremost a media strategy. Importantly, none of this is new and has been used against other groups and activists (Muslims/Palestinians, BLM, immigrants)
I looked into the group and the guy pushing the FBI to create a new designation of “transgender ideology–inspired violence and extremism”—itself a political project, meant to conflate the fact of trans people’s existence with extremism.
The Right’s Baseless Project to Link Trans People With Extremism
A campaign for the FBI to adopt a new designation of “transgender ideology–inspired violence and extremism” is less about law enforcement than politics.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

They have resisted healthcare reform. While criticizing Democratic proposals, Republicans have rarely offered real solutions that make healthcare more affordable. Millions of Americans remain uninsured or buried under medical debt, and the GOP’s reluctance to act keeps families in financial crisis.

The Republican Party often puts corporate interests above working Americans. For decades, they’ve sided with big business and lobbyists, pushing tax breaks and loopholes that favor the wealthy while leaving the middle class behind. This has widened inequality.
