If you (as an individual of the state) are critical of an ideological belief or religion that many others follow, then it means that you OBVIOUSLY must want to exterminate any and all individuals holding and promoting that same belief, belonging to that same group.
Opposition - by an individual towards a state-approved belief or religion, clearly = genocidal intent. Or so it goes. You’re either good/evil or it’s heaven/hell used by cults and pseudo-religions the world over. You’re either with us, or against us. There is no middle ground.
As countless trans activists and “celebrity” allies on Twitter have so expertly demonstrated to anyone seeking to break through the trans NoDebate stance, that once you do, you’ll be forever tagged with comparisons to Hitler, the Ku Klux Klan, every known “right wing bigot” under the sun, Q Anon & Trump fanatics, and white racist supremacists. This is currently how the discourse is running on social media; although I’ve had several in-person, real time discussions where the same arguments are espoused in an attempt to terminate any line of deeper enquiry.
They know this is a cruel jibe because they know that most GC are perfectly reasonable and rational people and are also - rather inconveniently - mostly left-leaning politically. But still they persist with “you want us all exterminated”. And very effective it is too. It keeps the fear in place and prevents other people asking awkward questions.
Deflect, confuse, obfuscate, mirror back, Gish Gallop - do anything and everything to protect the cult. Eugenics is not a great argument when they are the ones feeding a social contagion, promoting non-binary sex denialism, medicating and indoctrinating children and young people with “wrong body” theory, and amputating healthy body parts in an attempt to create an “authentic self” for a brave and stunning new world.
Trans activists and their supporters know that more and more people are peeking behind the curtain now, and seeing what’s going on. By appropriating the term CULT used by rational people to frame the authoritarian groupthink of gender ideology and queer theory, they attempt to deny the word its power. Even lefty media, knowingly or otherwise, apply the word ubiquitously to a wide range of other everyday contexts, thereby demonstrating their allegiance with gender ideologists and trans activists seeking to neuter a term rightfully applied to their kweergender sex denialist nonsense.
It becomes inconceivable that family (aka parents and siblings) could ever, even theoretically, challenge their offspring on their thinking or on their changing identity. This feeds the fire of so-called “Anti-Trans Conversion Therapy” and the portrayal of non-affirming parents as cruel and abusive. We never stood a chance with our daughter; by the time we arrived at “Don’t you think you ought to hear alternatives and other voices about what might be wise choices to make?” she was already groomed behind our backs and setting everything up for the big move away from home straight into her replacement Queer family.
Or there’s always “science denier” to fall back on, or add “kangaroo court” for more scrabble points. Try “but you’ll never read it anyway” (poor little me) or throw back manufactured deflections and distortions with a cracked mirror.
Remind me again who the Black Shirts of Fascism were, and why today’s generation of thuggish authoritarian enforcers and thought police are any different, when they try to stop LetWomenSpeak or argue to protect sex-segregated spaces. This is the black-shirted mob who call US fascists. The medieval witch-hunt of J K Rowling is their favourite pastime when they’re not out on the streets hunting, abusing, harassing, intimidating & bullying women
And again, when all else fails, just deny deny deny, in the face of ALL evidence to the contrary
Are we really to believe that young women are the perpetrators of sexual harassment in the British Army? Or is this DARVO employed tactically to deflect attention from abusive male behaviour? Something of a reversal going on here, as so often is the case when men have “identities” to promote or privileges to protect.
This one is older than other more recent examples I’ve included elsewhere in Denton, but the hyperbole still works the same way. Employing eugenics and genocide proclamations are currently the top 2 attack tactics I’ve noticed a recent rise in, along with extreme rightwingism and ‘It’s Just like Section 28 all over again”. Well I was there my friend, on the streets as a student, protesting against section 28 in support of my gay and lesbian friends. Outright lie that many young Milllenials and Gen Z-ers employ despite not even being born when it was all going on. Not even a twinkle in their biological mothers or biological fathers eye.
Conflate GC and feminists, pro-reality, pro-truth people with conspiracy theorists and terrorists, why don’t you? We’re not the radicalised ones. As a father to a gender-radicalised and estranged daughter, this is a tough one to take - another complete reversal of the truth. As is “You just want to erase me”, when the parents are the ones erased by the transitioning child or young adult deleting their past life (and all the unhelpful baggage of loving familial bonds that goes with it).
You could always try some transwashing, or transing history - reconceptualise and queer-up some female novelist or composer who had to fake being a man in an era of victorian patriarchal power in order to be published or have your work performed. Or a female medic who had to dress in male attire in order to be taken seriously and fulfil their professional vocation, and hey presto! Proof that Trans is as old as the hills. Jesus was trans, remember? Or Queer. One or the other. Or both.
The “Toxicity on Both Sides” argument is the tactic of enfeebled politicians and media commentators who are too lazy or indifferent to look closer or listen to alternative voices. Similar to “Less Heat, More Light”, it’s a neat way of saying “I don’t actually know what I’m talking about, so can we please move on before you catch me out with something I know next-to-nothing about. I haven’t been told what to think yet”.
As Hannah Barnes’s book, Time to Think (published last week) brilliantly exposes, clinicians putting troubled teens on puberty blockers at the Tavistock IS gay conversion therapy, when these young people could have been given time to work through their distress with support, and mature into happy and healthy gay/lesbian adults. Instead, they had their potential gay futures transed away.
Quite right Peter, no-one would ever do that. Ridiculous. Scaremongering (phobic indoctrination) and accusations of genocide by trans activism is just about all they have left now.
Thanks to my favourite substackers (and others) for their continuing commitment to the cause, and the clarity of their voices:

Just waded into a local bill that wants to use GI in the language of a bill to prevent discrimination on the basis of sex, religion, skin color, age and now (sexual orientation) fine by me and GI, albeit anon on twitter. Lawmaker threw out the intersex as an example of GI. Also asked me to define religion. Not sure which angle of two he was getting at; religion is a belief as is GI and can be used or if he was thinking I was a right winger and thought I would be offended at him using religion. He won't directly answer any question.
Do parents ever feel rage at their children? PITT stories never speak of this either. I understand how children are misled but I also feel rage twards them for hurting their parents & siblings so badly. It's like a husband leaving his wife for the "other woman" for luring unstead of rage at the husband.
I feel rage at these children & I'm not even involved. Is rage not a stage of grief? I hope this comment is not hurtful.
