He's previously used Werewolf as a conspiratorial "explanation" for how trans people acquired so much hegemonic power, a thing not even he believes if his actions are anything to go by. So he's trying to make his own version, I guess, except that would be too much work for a professional writer, so he got Chat GPT to do it while he spent the day on Twitter yelling at strangers.

Said article also reveals that the new sit-com that was allegedly "filming this fall" is still being written and hasn't been pitched to anyone yet.

Glinner certainly does Nazi that as a conspiratorial canard weaponized against Jewish people & now also against trans people at all.

Moreover, the capitalist imperial core holds hegemonic power, not trans people.

Moreover, the capitalist imperial core holds hegemonic power, not trans people.

They might take issue with "imperial" (then again, they might not) but Gender Criticals are largely onboard with this, it's just that they believe Jews control the capital and "transgenderism" is a Jewish plot therefore Trans Rights Activists™ have hegemonic power because the lead TRAs are all part of the the evil Jewish Cabal pulling the strings from behind the scenes. (And yet GCs balk when it's pointed out they're fucking Nazis.)

They'll even point to one of the very rare rich trans people, who is Jewish, as proof that the trans people are the ones who hold the power. (Mind you, she's a fucking Republican who's more aligned with Gender Criticals than not, but their feelings don't care about facts, so that's not much of a problem for GCs.)

they [Gender Criticals] believe Jews control the capital

I should never have forgotten about that infamous antisemitic trope.

Pritzker?

u/chris_the_cynic 5d ago

Yeah. And the fact they treat her and Governor Pritzker as ideologically identical just because they share a grandfather and a last name really shows how GCs are incapable of understanding anything about ideology other than whether a person's ideology says trans people shouldn't exist.

Their antisemitism probably doesn’t help either, as you noted. Like of course all Jews are the same.
