Another smashing article from the brilliantly talented Tree! Thank you for sharing this with the world, you're writing has always been top tier and your delivery is powerful and poignant.
Yes, victimisation is akin to sainthood, once a victim, and especially a permanent victim, one's deification is complete, no one can even suggest that you're wrong or disagree, because that would further one's trauma, no matter what it's based on
Good essay, but I'm going to go one step further. All the pseudo-religious, neo-Marxist claptrap are smoke and mirrors. There's actually only one objective: to feed into their fetishes unhindered and uninterrupted. No debate. No financial limitations. No boundaries. While some people may be true believers, if they ask themselves what they TRULY want, it will be that. They don't even want equality, really. They all secretly want to be high caste, with everyone else beneath them.
They use what they have- leftovers from Catholicism, Puritanism, and American New Religious Movements to sound familiar. To sound pious. To sound sincere. But these religions all had binary claims. Yes or no. Sin or not. Gender ideology only has one consistent: "Give me what I want. Or else I will punish you."
This is great. It eluciates many things for me that I've been trying to understand, including this recent move to blame "radical feminists" for transistion. The idea that, so called, "radical feminist" theory was queered and fed, just like every other subject, in extracts and interpreted essays/articles, to young people (and those who hadn't read much rad fem lit, like me) makes sense. I also hadn't quite got why people were trying to call e.g Judith Butler a rad fem when she is a queer theorist. Thank you. A thought-provoking piece.
Thank you, that's very informative.. Isn't it interesting however that in a world that oppresses women, this ideology gives the most oppression points.. and therefore the top position to men.. No change at all IMHO. Just another ideology/religion that elevates men and their wants.
I've had this suspicion the whole time that this is more religious in nature. I never bothered to look at Tumblr, but it sounds like a lot of this cultish religion really flourished there. We are up against something really dark in terms of ideology, and I really fear how bad this will get.
Keep writing because we read, we share, and that helps many others understand the hidden agendas and irrational ideologies of this self-destructive cabals who want to take down many innocent souls with them
Thank you so much, I have a transgender child, assigned male, at birth, didn't even tell me till 18, took her to get on hormones, she did that for a little over two years, now just does blockers, I wouldn't have picked this for My child, but I love My kids no matter what, but I really feel like she was influenced because,my child was such a little boy,loved spiderman, swords, guns, dirt bikes,wtf happened, there were no clues, which really makes me worry that she was influenced, anyway thank you for your story, from a Mom
great work! I was fired as a secondary teacher for "hateful" social media posts, including objecting to trans madness and in particular affirmation-only treatment protocols

I have never seen a science fiction movie as weird as the current society I am living in.
Wow, really shows why "no debate" was an early strategy.

What sort of social movement threatens suicide if they don't get what they want? The answer is a cult. Cults do that.

Best article on the topic to date.
Good article. Sounds like a lot of Gnostic theology in the movement. It has become a religion.
Excellent piece 👌🏾
