Who is funding the trans movement?

submitted by MissDemeanor from self.GenderCritical

This is not a recent article, however the information is still relevant. Sorry if it has been circulated previously. As a lefty I'm not generally a reader of the Federalist but we all know how the left are with this topic. It's a look at the people funding trans ideology as well as the organisations they are putting money into. Surprise suprise the biggest lobbyists are also hugely invested in trans med and set to make big money. Planned parenthood gets funding from TIM Jennifer Pritzker which explains the erasure of female terms. https://thefederalist.com/2018/02/20/rich-white-men-institutionalizing-transgender-ideology/

Pharma, narcissistic tech companies, psychopathic individuals with money to burn and strange fetishes. It’s all about the money.

Why I am not surprised?

women who identify as transmen seem silent and invisible

When I was checking transgender researches in 2016 or 2017, there were nearly 50 researches about transwomen, and zero about transmen. And yet, when someone need to oppress women, it is always said "but transmen menstruate too, and they can be pregnant, and they are men!". And then "because of this fact we should say people with mensturation instead of women" - about women and transmen. However, I never saw anyone advocating for "we need to say people with penis" - about transwomen (or men). Full gay men festivals where invites only by passport and only males allowed? No problem. Michigan Womyn's Music Festival not letting transwomen before transition or who "not pass" to enter? So big problem! Why? Answer is simple, transmen are still female, and transwomen are still male. And opression and sexism are sex based, not gender based. As simple as that. Gender is there to erase "sexism" as a problem in eyes of the society.

Yes. I am really angry about major search engines right now... google women's issues, for example, or "violence against women", and you get hit after hit of news about "transwomen". It's ridiculous.

I just read this article as well and it's sort of not a surprise, considering this cult originates from the US. And in the US, there's a lot of shady capitalism going on. No offence, but just saying that it seems to be expected as everything is a business over there. And it's just hard to believe such a tiny minority of people could've gained such a dominant social position in a short amount of time. Just consider how little sense these activists make and how everyone seems to fall in line with them when they're constantly urging people to commit violent acts towards TERFs, there has to be some powerful people pushing this.

Check out this (really long) article on Medium Inauthentic Selves: The modern LGBTQ+ Movement Is Run By Philanthropic Astroturf And Based On Junk Science. It talks about JNP amongst other funding sources and how the money is being used

Scarily a lot of these orgs are funded by governments as well.

In many cases governments are paying lobbyists to lobby them.

We're all paying for this through our taxes.

Edit: see this example for Scotland. https://twitter.com/LiviaBurlando/status/1192403413306421248?s=19

Each country will have their own set of government funded orgs doing the same thing.

And goverment hired-ups are having a piece of the cake as well, and making some money on this (or maybe even straight up paid, if it is USA).

Another link that might be of use: lobby tactics with big CEOs, in their own words.

That reminds me of the Google UK tweet from last month trying to influence British politics with the GRA. So sinister.

I imagine Pornhub will benefit from some woman bashing
