"On Thursday evening, independent journalist Ken Klippenstein reported that the FBI is developing tools to identify transgender suspects and classify them as "nihilistic violent extremists." Within hours, the Oversight Project at the Heritage Foundation - the same outfit driving Project 2025's blueprint now being implemented inside the federal government - released a four-page memo urging the bureau to go even further. Its proposal: formally designate all transgender activism as "Trans Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism," a new category of domestic terror threat."
"The memo's first section lays out its definition of "Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violence and Extremism," a term it urges the FBI to adopt as official doctrine. Under its test, anyone who believes violence is justified against opponents of "transgender ideology" would qualify. It also includes anyone who argues that stripping away transgender rights constitutes violence or an existential threat to transgender people."
The FBI is developing tools to identify transgender suspects and classify them as "nihilistic violent extremists." The Oversight Project at the Heritage Foundation urged the FBI to formally designate transgender activism as "Trans Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism," creating a new domestic-terror category. The proposed definition would include anyone who believes violence is justified against opponents of "transgender ideology." It would also encompass those who argue that removing transgender rights constitutes violence or an existential threat, sweeping many transgender rights activists and organizations into the extremist label. The Heritage Foundation is not the federal government, but its influence amid Project 2025 raises the prospect of policy adoption.
