#it's why i remember the way t.er.fs spread that one article about george soros being 'behind transgenderism'

[uncanny-tranny]

There is a specific brand of transphobia which acts as though trans medicine and by extention trans identity was, like, invented in a lab by Capitalism Itself, and obviously it is ahistorical, but the problem, I think is deeper than dismissing it rightly as a conspiracy theory.

For one, just dismissing it is ignoring the blatant antisemitism rooted in this "theory," because this conspiracy also comes with it the idea that "The Jews" invented transness in order to gain power. Obviously this is incorrect, but I have seen people spread this idea who don't think they're antisemitic. And that's terrifying! It's scary to see the same antisemitism (and transphobia) being touted together to slander both groups. We have seen this before, to a larger degree.

It's interesting people think that if there was no profit incentive for healthcare that trans healthcare wouldn't exist, but you must recognize there is a reason people link jewishness with healthcare (and by extent capitalism) and transgender identity and our healthcare. It isn't just trans people hurt by this. Jewish people are also the intended targets of this conspiracy.
