Transgenderism resembles a mass psychogenic illness that has spread thanks to the internet. If there were no Tumblr identity fluidity nonsense, and if Reddit and YouTube had never existed, most “trans” people would not have landed on “gender” as the source of their ills.

It is handed to them in the same way religion is handed to children. Thoughts and ideas are set before them, and they have brought these thoughts and ideas to live in themselves. Without the Internet, their feelings of dis-ease would have found a different explanation.
2.

These ideas became a framework for self-understanding, a map that instructs their actions, a vocabulary that programs their tongue. The pursuit of identity was the task, the online bubble its surrogate. They were commanded by it, and it gave their lives purpose and meaning.

It had benefits. It catered to vanity. Social adulation arrived with each new step. This is why they so fiercely cling to it, since any conceptual breakdown would shatter the world they’ve built, which has been buttressed and fortified through these concepts – these errors.

Its appeal first came as an escapist fantasy for the dysmorphic and disenchanted. Unbound from the meanings thrust upon them by others, they could instead become self-creators. They imbibed the dogma that suggested only two paths lay before them: – transition or suicide.
5.

They felt themselves racked with holes, and into these holes they poured their illusion, which they called “gender dysphoria.” This illusion gave their feelings some form of structure. “They did not care for the truth because they did not want their illusion destroyed.”

To the puzzled external observer, it appears for what it is: cult indoctrination. It is accurate to call transgenderism a cult since the ideas, axioms, and formulas that it cultivates are false. It is a fiction in which everyone else must now be made to participate.
7.

Vandalism of the body, the “breaking of the binary”, the desire to memory-hole a past life – the colonial instinct to imprint its brand on everything – neologisms, tribal pronoun markers, the rewiring of words, the demand that people comply with absurdity.
8.

The counterfeiting of “facts”, the assertion that “science” is on their side, the suggestion that puberty is “optional”, the dizzying panoply of gender identifications, the hymns of victimhood, the howls of “transphobia!” – what is all this if not the march of a cult?
9.

The only way to convince someone away from cultism is to demonstrate that it is no longer beneficial to them – that it causes harm. But as Dostoyevsky observed, a person’s profit sometimes consists precisely in desiring what is bad for himself, believing it to be good.
10.

Today, the gullible herds have “allied” themselves with it and they stamp their hooves in approval at each new Public Pronoun Announcement – many wielding influence in the mainstream – and they indulge it in the name of “compassion” – to signal that they are “good people.”
11.

These “goodies” have allowed themselves to be talked into aiding and abetting hallucinations in exchange for the veneer of “kindness.” The long-term drug-and-surgical implications do not enter their thought space – they are concerned solely with broadcasting their “empathy.”
12.

And so they have baptised falsehood, coddled a pseudo-reality, wrapped it in "progressive" robes and proclaimed it holy – “At last, people are discovering who they truly are!” – but this is delusion, and over the coming years this fact will shift into focus.

What was once the reserve of a few lost souls has morphed into a digital identity cult and been co-opted as a fashionable means for the dense-headed to exhibit their “righteousness.” I wrote this song as a first attempt to untangle the fabrications.
