I think the problem lies in the interpretation of "genocide"; genocide is not a finality, it's a means to finality. Genocide leads to extinction, but extinction doesn't necessitate the act of genocide.
Not allowing procreation is genocide. You're killing off humanity. Especially since it would be forced.
In practice, there is a heavy possibility of it leading to genocide.

Due to factors outside of the core philosophy, such as misinterpretation and the possibility of radicalized sects, it would have a possibility of genocide if applied practically.

And practicality is all that matters when discussing an ideology.

They are two different subjects.They aren't, because it would lead to genocide. So we're left with the fact that anti natalism is genocidal.

We good?No, because it would lead to genocide so it's inherently genocidal.
