deliberate social engineering

How and why?

How? Social media influence, propaganda, censoring and no-platforming dissidents, selective media coverage that downplays or outright ignores anything that goes against the narrative... basically the stuff we talk about on here all the time.

As for WHY, I'm not really sure. There seems like there's a few possible reasons. It could simply be about profit. As some trans people themselves acknowledge, being trans can be pretty expensive between the hormones and cosmetic surgeries. Though I'm not sure if it's QUITE profitable enough to be worth all this effort. Or it could be as simple as TRAs trying to recruit and reel in as many people as possible simply to expand their numbers.

It could also be that trans activism is simply being used as a tool to hurt other human rights movements or left-wing parties in general. We've seen how divisive trans activism is. Feminism has been completely split between pro-trans libfems and gender-critical/radfems, LGB spaces are divided or completely shut down, even a lot of normie liberals are getting fed up. I believe TRAs also pretty much got some communist book fair shut down. Or it could just be the wealthy elite stirring up trouble in order to keep the working and middle class divided like they usually do. Your guess is as good as mine.

I personally don't think it's a coordinated effort by some malicious force. "Transing" homosexuals has been going on since at least the beginning of written history. It occurs independently in cultures that have no contact with one another. The only thing that's different this time (other than more advanced technology and "medicine") is that now heterosexuals (mostly heteros who are gender non-conforming) are also being transed.

the why is simple, its not intentional. it's because they become jannies (the incels who become "lesbians" also happen to be the people who love becoming admins and moderators for online communities)
