The Trans Agenda and the Rise of Technocracy

By Guy Crittenden

My opinion on transgender issues is very different today than it was around 15 years ago when — as a divorced male living in Toronto — I attended conferences on gender and sexuality issues, researching possible articles and book material on all permutations of John Lennon’s lyric “Whatever gets you through the night is alright.” I was fascinated that some people felt they were trapped in the body of the wrong gender, and modified themselves with everything from makeup and hairstyles to radical sex reassignment surgery (SRS) to make their bodies mirror how they felt inside.

In those days, transgender issues applied to a witheringly small number of people, in the low single digits as a percentage of the population — perhaps at the decimal level. Being trans wasn’t fashionable then and some trans people with whom I spoke believed hormonal fluctuations in their mothers’ wombs had caused them to develop a male brain in a female body and vice versa. (Public discussion often overlooks the many female to male transitions.) It’s possible that endocrine-disrupting chemicals in our water, food and environment are making this rare phenomenon more common.

You can see I’m anything but a bigot against trans people. I’ve always believed such people have the right to live as they please, and that no one should discriminate against them. I have compassion for them.

Fast forward to today, however, and I see transgenderism as co-opted and weaponized. It’s a large-scale social engineering project that’s been decades in the planning, likely stemming back to globalist organizations like the Pilgrim Society, The Roundtable, the Royal Society for International Affairs (RSIA) and so on. Surveys suggest as many as 20 percent or more of young people these days identify as gender fluid. The public school system is actively encouraging very young children to question their gender and promotes that gender is a purely social construct. (I note in passing that gender is viewed as separate from sexual orientation. Being male, female or something in between says nothing about the sex to which you’re attracted. A woman I dated briefly has been married to another woman who became a trans “man” and then lusted after gay males, which is apparently common. Her ex was reportedly thrilled when he was finally able to grow sideburns — an underrated signifier of male identity.)

Being told they can be whatever gender they like has, predictably, led to a generation of confused, angry and depressed young people, many of whom come to regret major decisions like dubious (and often failed) surgery into which they were coached or coerced. I won’t report here all the ways these things can go wrong, what with girls having their forearm muscles excavated for penis-forming material, that can rot and fall away… and things like that. You can research that yourself. All I can say is it’s stunning that jurisdictions like Seattle provide sanctuary to young people seeking government-funded surgery, without their parents’ knowledge or consent.

Being trans is a right, don’t know you? And a parent who interferes with a person’s right to transition may find themselves fined or jailed, for breaking the law. This is clearly a multi-pronged propaganda and social engineering project designed to undermine the family, break down social cohesion and — importantly for the globalist restructuring of society along Great Reset and global governance lines — prepare us for a transhumanist future. In that future, we’ll be expected to accept all kinds of body augmentation, including microchip implants to pay at the till or open doors with a hand wave. More chillingly, most countries have endorsed changes to agreements with the World Health Organization (WHO) to give it sweeping powers in any emergency it might declare — powers that supersede those of our own nations. We may soon be coerced to accept hundreds of mRNA injections under development, and brain implants along the lines of Elon Musk’s Neuralink — merging man and machine in just the way Aldous Huxley warned about, that’s celebrated by World Economic Forum Founder Klaus Schwab and his policy advisor Yuval Noah Harari.

The transition (if you’ll pardon the pun) of transgenderism from a marginal interest to human right and weaponized near-religion among cultural Marxists was traced by writer Jennifer Bilek on the website Uncommon Ground back on July 6, 2020. In her excellent long-form article “Martine Rothblatt: A Founding Father of the Transgender Empire” Bilek reviews the career of this transgender billionaire who — as CEO of United Therapies and former CEO of SiriusXM — is the highest-paid CEO in the biopharmaceutical industry. Rothblatt is an entrepreneur and lawyer who — how shall I put it? — doesn’t pass very well. (I pray writing that doesn’t land me in some Canadian social justice gulag.) As Bilek writes, “Rothblatt believes that human sexual dimorphism is tantamount to South African apartheid and that transgenderism is an onramp to transhumanism — which is for him an exercise in overcoming “‘fleshism’.”

I recall that knowing what cis-gendered meant, made one part of the cool crowd. But fleshism?

Sigh.

To be clear, I wouldn’t be overly concerned if the issue here was simply that a large number of folks want to dress and live as the opposite sex, and pay surgeons to make that effort more convincing. Instead, we must contextualize the nefarious side in light of where the globalists ultimately plan to take us. Their first move was to inject billions of people with a so-called “vaccine” that’s at best ineffective and, at worst, has poisoned them. When WEF-affiliated Harari natters about bioconvergence and humans being “hackable animals” he’s not talking about the future; it’s here right now. Blurring the lines further, we have drag queen story time promoted all over the place to children, and the United Nations’ recent proposal to erase any age of consent. Where this could lead is highly concerning.

In the transhumanist vision, all society’s economic inputs and outputs are curated by AI technology; people live in tightly-controlled, tightly-monitored 15-minute cities, sharing tiny pod apartments with strangers, receiving a Universal Basic Income, and accessing goods and services via a social credit score tied to such things as one’s vaccination status. Professor Shoshanna Zuboff calls it surveillance capitalism. The COVID op prepared us for the compliance economy of an emergent biosecurity state. Re-conceptualizing gender shifts us toward disembodiment — a prerequisite to the ultimate globalist transhumanist goal, which is to migrate the individual consciousness of elites (this is not for your benefit, techno-peasant) into synthetic bodies — bodies that never die, and that can be switched out for better ones as technology improves. The predator class adheres to the cult of scientific materialism, in which consciousness (as an epiphenomenon of matter) is mere data; and data, of course, can be uploaded and copied endlessly. Their quest is for eternal life in a metaverse overseen by an AI god — a realm that transcends organic, mortal bodies.

The connection is clear: treating gender as optional like seasonal clothing paves the path for us becoming cyborgs in a Brave New World. As Bilek concludes, “The jig is up on this purported ‘human rights movement’… We are in the eleventh hour and must end this tech-driven, hubristic flight from flesh, mortality and nature.”
