I've come across gender crit feminists like Kara Dansky use the transhumanist Jewish billionaire conspiracy theory to justify working with right-wing Christian organizations like the Heritage Foundation. She argues that the "trans industry" is so well funded and powerful...
...that they need all the help they can get defeating it, including help from conservative Christians. The conspiracy theories allow them justify their right-wing alliances and connect with right-wingers who are sympathetic to the idea that the LGBT movement is funded by...
...transhumanist Jewish, trans and/or gay billionaires. It's important to see what function these conspiracy theories play in bringing together various hate groups and creating a narrative where they can claim victimhood. They're creating an enemy that justifies using any means..
...necessary to defeat it. This is something to watch out for. The more people believe that they're going up against extremely powerful, evil, basically inhuman conspiracies, the more extreme actions they can justify using to defeat it. A lot of these conspiracy theories are...
...absurd but some people really believe in them and think they're fighting to defend humanity. I'm concerned that they could become more popular on the Right as, people like Bilek, Dansky, etc try to make more alliances with conservatives. Dansky has already appeared on...
...the Tucker Carlson show on Fox and told people to check out Bilek's website to see how the "trans industry"is funded. A lot of the newer transphobic groups like PEC and LGBFightBack believe in these conspiracy theories and promote them. The more they take hold the more...
...damage they could do, especially if they become popular on the Right. Dealing w/ people passing transphobic laws, spreading misinformation about transition, etc is bad enough. We don't need paranoid right-wingers trying to "save the children" from the "gender industry".
