đ© Phobia indoctrination and trans communities đ©

"Thereâs a name for whatâs going on hereâand itâs not âtrans genocide.â Itâs called phobia indoctrination.
"The result? Community members are gripped by irrational fears (including the fear of freely following their own thoughts), alienated from the outside world by bizarre protocols and unreasonable expectations, and constantly self-policing to avoid running afoul of doctrine.
"Phobia indoctrination instills irrational fears in members of a high-control group and uses those fears to manipulate members so they won't question the group's beliefs or try to leave.
Here's what phobia indoctrination looks like in the trans community:
đ© Telling community members that anyone who questions gender identity or transition (even if theyâre coming from a place of genuine care and concern) hates them, 'denies their existence,' or even wants them dead. This pushes community membersâespecially naive children and young peopleâto cut themselves off from friends and loved ones who may question or contradict the trans community, or may simply fail to follow the elaborate and often bizarre protocols trans communities lead young members to expect.
đ© Creating the false impression of a trans murder epidemicâeven a trans genocideâwhich binds members to the trans community and increases their fear of the outside world out of all proportion to actual risk. (No, trans-identified people in the West donât face the same risks as transsexual Brazilian prostitutes.) Preventing the murders of trans-identified people in liberal Western societies is less a matter of combatting âtransphobiaâ than of helping vulnerable trans-identified people exit sex work and abusive relationships with violent males. "
đ© Inflating suicide risk and presenting transition as the only alternative to suicide when it comes to dealing with gender dysphoria. This increases desperation to transition, suppresses questions or doubts a young person may have, and pushes patients to conceal comorbidities and other complicating factors from doctors.
đ© Vilifying and attacking detransitioners as traitors and existential threats to the trans community, thus demonstrating to current members of the trans community exactly what will happen to them if they step out of line orâgod forbidâleave.
đ©Teaching community members to bury their own questions and doubts by labeling uncertainty about gender identity, transition, or community dynamics as manifestations of "internalized transphobia" that cause harm not just to the individual but to all trans people. Thatâs right: your private thoughts about whether youâre really trans or whether transition is right for you are hurting trans people.
"The whole point of phobia indoctrination is that installs irrational fears in group members, telling group members they're at risk of genocide or being lynched when the actual 'threats' are societies not adopting gender self-id policies or not letting males play in female sports or setting age limits for hormones and surgeries or keeping males out of womenâs prisons or pulling public funding for transition (even if community members have been indoctrinated to believe these surgeries are life-saving, in contravention of the evidence). "
"A healthy, open, supportive trans community wouldn't seek to drive a wedge between gender-questioning youth and their family members or friends who sincerely want the best for them but question whether transition is the right answer.
A healthy, open, supportive trans community would invite ethical research into transition outcomes and alternativesârather than trying to shut down inquiryâbecause trans-identifying people deserve high-quality care, not just ideologically-compliant âcare.â
And a healthy, open, supportive trans community would encourage young people to explore their questions and doubts openlyârecognizing transition as a serious undertakingâwithout fear of censure or expulsion from the group.
"Healthy communities don't behave like this. Civil-rights movements don't behave like this. They don't terrify their members by spinning lurid fantasies out of thin air and political convenience. They don't hound peaceful critics into submission. They uphold freedom of expression because they need it, too. They make their case in the public sphere. Why doesnât the trans movement? "
