What follows is an attempt to summarize that agenda—although the full picture, comprised as it is of activist splinter groups, bizarre conspiracy theories, social-media hate campaigns and titanic global funding initiatives, is both too complex and too weird to ever fully summarize. It’s a story in which “eco-fascists” infiltrating lesbian folk festivals bump up against anti-Semitic conspiracy bloggers and Vladimir Putin’s global dark money operations; strange enough that it’s hard to take seriously, but very serious, and increasingly dangerous to us all. This is how trans-eliminationist thought became mainstream politics, and it has grave implications, not just for trans people, but for democracy itself.
Yep, that pesky resistance to belief in chicks with dicks being wholly and entirely female in the same manner as someone with a dilating cervix must be because Uncle Vova is directing it all from the undersea volcano lair.
Stands to reason.
The article date is 1 at April. Has to be an April’s fool.
Thank you for reading it no my behalf so I don’t have to!
Thanks for the new word, trans-eliminationist.
But I also do congratulate anyone who could read it all. I especially liked the bit where the Greens are a right wing conspiracy.
Anybody remember the ancient times when 2010’s JK Rowling was a darling of the progressive left? 2020’s JK Rowling is a ‘Fascist’.
JK Rowling hasn’t changed tho.
I got that one wrong.
I’d have bet the house on it being from Salon.
@Steve: the progressive Left hasn’t changed either…
Nope. Still all as mad as hatters. Just mad about different things. Warble Gloaming and trannies instead of CND and Thatcher.
I did like the one about the Greens being “right-wing”. Personally, I’ve always considered the whole Green movement to be Communism for middle aged, middle class women and nothing more.
Maybe the whole tranny thing has shifted that by a fraction of a percent, but not much else has changed.
Ah! A TET offensive. We can only hope it suceeds…
I’m amused by the last sentence – has any pro Trans policy been put to a democratic vote in any country ever?
the progressive Left hasn’t changed either
I think it has, in the same way progressively degenerative brain disorders work. It’s sad to see how far people who were smugging about Science and Reason in 2004 have since fallen.
“anti-trans thinkers, American evangelicals, anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists and global purveyors of dark money”: hurray, a rant against a group that doesn’t include me. That’s a pleasant change.
The terrifying confluence of anti-trans thinkers, American evangelicals, anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists and global purveyors of dark money poses a much bigger threat than you might realize
Swap out a few descriptors (you can leave in “global purveyors of dark money”) and you have a typical sounding paragraph from half of the online right.
Perhaps because aspects of life are changing faster than we might like, and the pileup of incompetence seems implausibly large, some people must imagine that the chaos is actually organised – of course by shady forces that are not quite distinct. The frothing and fapping is approaching David Icke levels.
Wow! Sounds like Q-Anon for the woke.
“This is how trans-eliminationist thought became mainstream politics, ”
Not really.. In fact in most places in the world “trans-eliminationism” has been part of the political package since roughly the Stone Age. Some places are actually quite well-known for it..
There’s, of course, not a chance in hell mrs. Pronoun goes off to protest there, isn’t it? That New York Big-City echo well is soooo much more comfortable.
Left-wing identity politics trains people to be paranoid. It teaches them that society is divided into victims and oppressors, so if you belong to one of the victim groups then you are constantly surrounded by evil oppressors who want to destroy you. It teaches people to see hidden messages of power and prejudice in literally every word they hear and every image they see. It indoctrinates people with the thought patterns of a serious mental illness to make then turn against mainstream society and want to destroy it. Wokeness is weaponized paranoia.
At this point there are too many to lock up. The mental institutions would be overflowing.
