Trans students made to wear green bracelets
In at least one school, transgender students must wear green bracelets so that staff can identify them as transgender:

This is clearly meant to stigmatize.
I don't see how the idea is any different in principle from making Jews wear this:

Exactly what I thought when I read the title. Yellow stars.
I have an academic paper somewhere where an autism mom wishes aloud that autistic people would turn a different color or have some kind of marker so that one could tell when a behavior was autism-related and when it was because of something else.
Before you are describing this as "yellow star", please remember that the US is not nazi Germany, and the bracelet is not implying: "this person is not a person at all, feel free to do as you please".
Just,... Let's not overdo the nazi-comparison.
It'll wear out, and we will need it again in the future.
