The movement, well funded by people like TW Jennifer Pritzker and TW Martine Rothblatt, among others, are pushing this ideology in Universities. It is also being pushed in political parties. The end result will be changing the definition of woman in the law. Once that happens women will de facto lose their right to politically organize for sex based rights because they will no longer exist as a political category. Only gender based rights will be considered valid. It's happening now in the US with the Equality Act, has already happened in Canada with bill C-16 and they've only hit the pause button in the UK on GRA reform.

I absolutely believe these tyrant activists & systemic "sympathetic" rot are the most dangerous thing happening to us right now. For me it's more a question of how did we get here... I guess I'm hoping that if we can explain the (wrongheaded or evil) motives at every step, then this could help unwind it.

This article I found (probably posted on saidit/ovarit already), talks about "how we got here"

https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-document-that-reveals-the-remarkable-tactics-of-trans-lobbyists

In short, trans lobbyists used deceptive and underhanded tactics to gain traction: They drafted potential legislation for trans issues beforehand (i.e. before govt could make their own drafts). Trans lobbyists used the LGB as a shield and camouflage against scrutiny. They also ensured that their actions got limited media attention to avoid getting noticed by the general public.

That addresses the "how did trans take over now" (and it that respect the article is excellent) but not the "why is every fucking generation of young people so susceptible to totalitarianism and fascism"...

I've already started to wonder, what's next after this trans train gets derailed? Cos there will be another and another attack on common sense, decency and women's rights until we address the root.

Some would argue that the cause is schooling. Books like Dumbing Us Down and Deschooling Society argue that what schools excel at is conditioning children to conform and obey authority.
