In this case it has to do with changing the definition of words. This is what Marx did and then his followers, and then the totalitarian regimes that happened in the 20th century in part because of what Marx wrote. After those "revolutions", more thought leaders of marxism and communism continued this thinking and kept writing about how to subvert democracy and capitalism by changing the definition of words. If you change definitions, then in theory, you can control the law and how it is interpreted, and use that as a way to gain power.
We can say all kinds of things about the trans movement, but it is certainly suspicious that 0.1% of the population is somehow dominating the cultural conversation. If it was 100% bottom-up movement, it would never be this big and cause so many institutional changes. Instead we see this being pushed in every single area of society from bathrooms to words in the dictionary. And so the new generation of kids is raised with these changed definitions, and a giant rift is happening between generations... which was explicitly laid out by communists when they were planning how to take over liberal capitalist societies.
