I've always asked the same questions to TRAs and never got an answer. This is why I'm prone to think the whole ideology is a cult. No facts, no questions, accept the dogma or get shunned.

Yeah. The only answer is TWAW and blocked. It all comes down to them wanting to separate biological sex from gender just enough that it suits their agenda, and conflate them when it doesn’t.

Can't question anything? Cannot dissent (without swift repercussions and cancellation)? Are required to repeat nonsensical mantras, without ever replying to any sensible questions about them? A lingo that was created to erase the Others and to elevate the Chosen Ones?

It IS a cult. Nothing more, nothing less. And it's sweeping across the whole planet soon. (Don't want to sound like some doomsday angel but hey, it is what it is.)

It's a cult but without a leader.

Honestly, sort of makes me think we should bring Scientology back. There's a lot of sheep out there needing a shepherd and if you don't give them something ridiculous to believe in they'll start making up their own.

Well, Scientology sadly never went anywhere! But yeah, maybe there they'd get their fix for a cult-like atmosphere - and do less actual harm. The other option right now seems to be bloody QAnon which... let's just say, isn't a better cult exactly.

You know, with the decline of religions, I wonder if there are any healthy secular groups for people to join?

There was a really interesting one called the Sunday Assembly, which was intended to fill the social role of a church. You all get together, sing some ballads, listen to a talk on how we can be better people, then do some volunteer work. A good idea but it didn't really take off. Without hellfire to motivate people enthusiasm wanes. But if you're looking for yourself personally, gardening groups and repair cafes are great places. Very secular, very supportive, mix of ages and political affiliations so no one feels that they get to take it over for their particular cause, plus sometimes you get tomatoes.

How can you even accept the dogma when it changes every few years? First, they’re not the second they identify as, but the gender, so the term “transsexual” becomes offensive. Then, there is no need for gender reassignment because females come in different bodies, but gender reassignment needs to be covered by insurance to validate trans people. Oh but also now the argument is that transgender people are literally the opposite sex because intersex people exist? And you can tell this via changes in brains and if you argue that men and women don’t have different brains now you’re the sexist? None of it makes sense.

There's a cult expert, Steven Hassan, who actually came out with his concerns that the craze to transition minors has cultish aspects:

I'll post this on its own thread too because Hassan appears to be well-respected, so his questioning of transgender activist ideology is noteworthy.

It is not first time I am seeing gender ideology is called "cult-like": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcqqGJrCpFY

You're seeing it more and more, and critical race theory too.
