1./ What motivates the Trans Lobby?
Two images sum it all up. The first is of Robert Stoller the man who coined the term 'gender identity' and popularised the idea in the 1960s and 70s. Here he is in Papua New Guinea in 1979. Guess who took the photograph.👉

2./ The photographer was Gilbert Herdt who spent the 1970s studying the Sambia tribe who ritually abused young boys. Herdt went on to publicly defend child abuse in the 1990s. His work was then quoted approvingly by @petertatchell in his own defence of paedophilia in 1997.

3./ The other image that explains the trans lobby is this one. "Virginia" Prince set up FPE, the first trans organisation, in the 60s and has been credited with effectively founding the trans movement. He was a psychiatric patient of Robert Stoller's for 27 years.

4./ It was almost certainly from " Virginia" that Stoller developed his idea that men embraced a trans identity as revenge on women. Trans identification was, he said, a form of sexual perversion rooted in hate and fear of women. Prince despised women.

5./ That's why Stoller travelled to Papua New Guinea. The Sambia warriors also viscerally despised women. He and Herdt would later theorise Sambia child abuse was a type of behaviour motivated by the same fear fo women that drove trans identification back in America.

6./ If a trans activist tells you their lobby is progressive remind them of its founding fathers: Virginia Prince who hated women (and gays) and his psychiatrist who concluded trans identification was akin to child abuse. Under the surface pathology still drives the trans lobby.
