I mentioned it on the other thread but I think actually, having watched now, it answers so many questions and joins the dots. I have found this video a little mind-blowing in the clarity Jennifer provides in her description of the issues.
It describes the reach of the global corporations that are driving the transgender movement and why. This is being presented to us as a human rights movement but why would Goldman Sachs (and many huge corporations) be funding a 'human rights' movement?
This is not a grass roots movement - this is driven by large corporations. Human rights movements fight against the corporate/governing structures because they are the ones that do the damage.
She mentions that it feels like we are in an altered reality, which totally chimes with how I've been feeling - it's like we are in the Upside Down - changing basic human concepts, changing language and the meanings of words. Once we see what is happening we can't unsee it and it is permeating everything. I think this is partly why it is so difficult to explain to people because it involves challenging so many accepted norms in expectations of other people's and organisations behaviour and ethics.
Background: when the AIDS epidemic hit in the 80's, once the government got on board with actually helping AIDS victims, an NGO industry grew up around it which gave birth to certain medical/social organisations including the Arcus foundation.
These organisations have formed a large scale network and as Stonewall has found, once the LGB experience improved greatly with proper recognition of rights and equality, the need for activism around that group dropped off. The NGOs had effectively worked themselves out of a job and they needed to find 'another market' with potential.
It was a revelation to me to see that there is such a thing as the 'Sex Reassignment Surgery Market' which is treated by investors and analysts in the same way as any other commodity/service market like Beauty for example. Viewing it in this way answers so many questions for me and raises so many concerns. The size of this market has grown enormously in the last few years and is predicted to grow by at least 25% in the next few years www.gminsights.com/industry-analysis/sex-reassignment-surgery-market with growth rates of over 25% predicted).
Social networks seem to be particularly effective in promoting the ideology to young people and obviously if schools and other trusted adults can be coerced persuaded to back up the online marketing which uses the oldest marketing trick in the book, playing on people's insecurities - you have quite a powerful recruitment tool.
The positive point she leaves us with is that we can all make a difference by organising, every tiny thing we do will help - get the message out there. Do something, do anything - twitter, fb, here etc. No self-respecting person will allow this to happen on their watch - this is damaging the children. So much of this is being done in the name of Diversity and Inclusion but it is the opposite of that - men taking women's places at work is reducing diversity and inclusion.
If you can spare a bit of time, even a few minutes at a time, this is hugely helpful.
