Thanks for this timeline. I agree with you that “transgenderism” began as a niche hobby pushed by a few millionaires, & the big money only arrived when the fetishistic transvestites had created a market of confused kids & families for them to exploit.
Feels like we are living through a Gutenberg Revolution 2.0. Trans is just a leading indicator of the chaos & instability that is being unleashed by tech & powered by big pharma.
I’ll be blunt: Gay political leadership literally died from HIV in the 80’s, which created a vacuum in the 90’s that couldn’t counter the emergence of trans into gay political culture. By the end of the 90’s “Lesbian and Gay Freedom” had become LGBTQ Pride. Lesbian leadership was divided by invading heterosexual men, leaving all remaining attention on same-sex marriage and not recruiting and developing leadership.
The ACLU is in the forefront of this ideology, which is why I never give to them anymore.The same applies to Human Rights Watch and several other charities who have jumped on this bandwagon. I check every charity , including environmental ones for their stance on trans ideology..and there are way too many who think they need to virtue signal!
> Like a lot of lefty trans obsessives, I’m inclined to believe that Capital is behind the whole shebang. But the truth is, I can’t find it back in the early days.
The reason is because the drive for power and status is just as fundamental a drive for human beings as the need for capital. The transgender phenomenon is so perfect because it allows teachers and doctors and academics to feel like they're "making an impact/difference/better world." It's so tempting for a school counselor to embrace this because they feel so good about having such a large effect on their clients.
I once held similar views about capital, but I realized a big variable was missing from my analysis, that of power and status, and the incessant human need to garner these even if it comes at the expense of capital.
“In February, 2004, with the help of Eve Ensler and Jane Fonda, a group of transgender women put on the first all-transgender production of "The Vagina Monologues", including a new monologue written by Ensler from their own experiences.”
A 2014 blog post from V-Day HQ, “IN THE NEWS: "The Vagina Monologues" & the Fight Against Transphobia”:
There's the self hate and there's also how ever since the emergence of AIDS 'being gay' has been synonymous with 'being sick' i.e being on anti viral meds or PREP. Someone else on here was writing similar a sort of continum of illness / big pharma / an identity contingent upon drugs and treatments.
Fascinating timeline ! I was unaware until very recently of the takeover of society that this ideology has managed to pul! A lot of it was behind the scenes, because they knew it would not sit well with ordinary sane people. I hope the backlash swells to the point that their authoritarian takeover will be stopped.
If you are a trans woman there are a few things that you need to understand. First of all is that you are still a man because you can't change your biological sex. It's okay to dress any way you wish and to adopt any superficial, stereotypical attributes of women that you desire. Live your life. No one should care, I certainly don't. However, because women are entitled to be treated fairly and to enjoy privacy from men there are certain things that are prohibited to you and me because we are men. You can't compete against women in most sports because it would be unfair. You can't go into women's private places like restrooms and locker rooms because that would make them feel unsafe. Finally, if you are a criminal you certainly can't be imprisoned with women.
A valuable addition to demolishing this phenomenon. It is not enough just to win - the fact this happened shows society's processes have failed because they allowed blatant lies to go all the way and become established govt policy. That needs to become the subsequent target of reform.
Thank you, extremely informative. The contingent aspects of history always fascinate me, and the 'why now' points to something interesting in the present moment, but the ubiquitous profit motive and how it distorts the cultural space is the fuel in the system.
1 in 2,000 human births gender nonspecific and used to be randomly surgically assigned, now that that barbarism is over people choose & thus trans movement, which has been corrupted into for-profit growth industry by lifetime hormonal chemical regimes & mutilating sterilizing life-threatening elective surgeries. Trans part of human history & biology, for generations as Rowling wished they safely lived their best lives. But now instead of trans rights non-binary think they can redefine binary & men are women. FALSE!🌈UDHR

I think Fenway is being sued by shape shifter now, a gay man. Wishing that lawsuit success! If they can keep lies out of the testimony....
(Speaking of lies, did you see the ACLU brief in Ohio?)
Thank you for your fantastic research, explanations and writing!

I have a cultural landmark for you.

Ok, so was transgenderism driven in part by our own self hate as homosexuals? I’ve kinda thought this might be the case for a while.
Yeah, I think that's part of the story.
There's the self hate and there's also how ever since the emergence of AIDS 'being gay' has been synonymous with 'being sick' i.e being on anti viral meds or PREP. Someone else on here was writing similar a sort of continum of illness / big pharma / an identity contingent upon drugs and treatments.

That's it, just like me.
