I honestly think TRA's are far less organised and self-aware than many on here believe. There is a conspiracy theory that all extreme TRA's are trying to erase gay, lesbian and bisexual people as some kind of planned, organised endgame. That gives them far too much credit! In the vast majority of cases, I believe extreme TRA's start off being well-intentioned, but are then brainwashed into an ideology that inclusiveness and validation is more important than anything in the LGBT community. They don't realise the effects of their ideology, and they think they are the good guys, the tolerant and virtuous ones defending transgender people. It's like a religion, they are just sheep following an ideology that got out of hand.

It’s a cult and they have downed the koolaide. There is no end in sight. The Reddit bannings emboldened them. They are far from done.

I do believe it is a concerted effort. The money underneath the visible ugliness that we see, is big money. As the articles I posted show, it already is a $300 million business, projected to reach $1.5 billion by 2026.

Oh you sweet summer child. None of this would be happening if they weren't organized.

There's gotta be a strong distinction here between the money (older transwomen in tech and politics and their allies) and the masses (teenagers identifying as stargender on tumblr dot com)

That's a non sequitur. Is there a difference between people who genuinely suffer from gender dysphoria and those who are using it as a fad or worse a perversion? Yes. That doesn't mean the latter isn't organized.

Yep, the children, strongly encouraged to go the whole 9 yards, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, major surgeries that remove healthy tissue vs. the adults who can simply announce their new "gender" & maybe dress up and/or wear make up.

Look at these poor kids, see we were born this way! It's so damn cynical.
