“FBI to Categorize Trans People As ‘Nihilistic Violent Extremist’ Threat Group, Report Says. The choice is being championed by the Heritage Foundation, which is behind Project 2025.”
This claim is categorically false. The FBI does not classify transgender people as extremists. That narrative is either based on spam, a misunderstanding, or a deliberate lie.
Here are the facts:
The FBI’s official domestic extremism categories (e.g., racially motivated, anti-government, abortion-related) do not include “trans people” or “trans ideology.”
Some outside political groups have proposed such a label, but it has not been adopted by the FBI.
Posts like this blur the line between a political proposal and official policy spreading misinformation.
