They actually named themselves alphabet soup.

Idk if it applies here but I’ve noticed a trend of co-opting language that is used by those opposing gender ideology and using it for pro-gender ideology purposes. The practical effect, whether it’s a specific goal or not, is to bury content that is critical of gender ideology behind a wall of gender propaganda. I noticed that happened with the phrase “Peak Trans.”

I will have to look into this org.

You're dead on. PACs and lobbying groups do this with Twitter hashtags and SEO keywords constantly.

For instance, let's say #transitionregret starts trending on Twitter, or search terms including "transition" and "regret" begin to tick higher in an upward trend on Google (this is easy to track.) PACs will flood the hastag with posts about regretting not transitioning. They'll push media allies to publish articles about transpeople who regret not transitioning sooner, and make sure the words "transition" and "regret" feature in the title.

This is common practice in the PR world. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this has been going on just this week with the whole Chris Chan debacle. The last thing they need is normies finding out the whole sordid story. As I recall, the original hashtag it trended with was #CHRISCHANDIDWHAT
