Let's play a game of 'Is Trans A Cult'? Which of the following characteristics of a cult does the trans circle check off?

Based on pseudoscience? Check!

Spreads it's messages through dogmatic slogans? Check!

Preys mainly on the mentally ill and children? Check!

Markets itself as a solution to all your problems if only you follow it? Check!

Encourages cutting off contact with friends or family members who may doubt it? Check!

Encourages a false sense of pride in it's followers as well as shunning those who oppose it? Check!

Initiation into it includes a ritual of rebirth / destruction of one's past? Check!

Rewrites history to fit the agenda? Check!

Encourages it's followers to alter their appearance, sometimes permanently? Check!

Validates it's own existence through martyrdom? Check!

Encourages group think instead of individual thought? Check!

Appropriates popular culture? Check!

Consumes and all encompasses one's person hood to the point where one's entire life starts revolving around it? Check!

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!

We all know this is a cult. But who's pulling the strings?

Well, who do you think makes the most money out of this fiasco? My bet is on the clinics who reap fat checks from gender affirming surgeries. There is a reason TRAs are pushing for them to be classified as necessary and not cosmetic.

And if we ever get single-payer healthcare in this country, then the taxpayer is going to foot the bill for it.
