Transphobes imagine that trans people existing and having human rights at all is a social ill that is being done TO society, by some shady group, who are making people trans to damage the society they live in, for some sinister reason...

This is just 'Cultural Marxism' innit?

It's not a dogwhistle, it's a bloody foghorn!"

[[twitter.com profile] CaseyExplosion quote-tweeted the first tweet of bean ([twitter.com profile] christapeterso)'s thread from the day before, which starts, "In her new book, the Economist's Helen Joyce claims the trans 'global agenda' is 'shaped' by three Jewish billionaires. The sourcing is vague in the book, but she has previously cited Jennifer Bilek. Bilek has previously cited an explicit Nazi. Gendercrit launders antisemitism." and goes into detail from there. Connections between anti-trans campaigners (including allegedy-feminist, allegedly-liberal, and allegedly-pro-queer ones) and vocal neo-fascists are not a new discovery, but appear to be getting more significant.]

Why does the original author say Marxism?

"Cultural Marxism" is a (centuty old?) antisemitic conspiracy theory / rhetorical trope that the author of the tweet is comparing current antisemitic trends in "GC" speech & conspiracy theories to. I don't think it has anything to do with actual Marxism. I.e. anti-trans people are pretty much recycling antisemitic arguments after having already recycled Anita Bryant era homophobic arguments.

This anti-trans crap - wherever the source of it is - is just plain toxic. I want it over and done. I'd want it buried, but there are toxic waste issues involved here. Unlike plain old vampire- and zombie-class "ideas" such as trickle-down economics.
