Worth reading the piece below by Diana Alistair. The piece itself is interesting enough but what many will find especially interesting and maybe useful is the link in her piece towards a study done on American companies who have donated to various Pride or LGBT groups or causes. I’ve had a quick scan of the list and some of the money given looks like legitimate promotions of products that have an appeal in the gay market such as booze companies etc. However other donations look a whole lot more political than what could reasonably seen as part of a marketing strategy.

Whilst a lot of money, millions of Dollars in some cases for sone donors, has been given to ‘LGBT’ causes I have my doubts as to how much of this money want to causes that actually benefited LGB people? It’s highly likely in my view based on the sheer amount of propaganda and expensive advocacy it may have bought that a lot of the money, maybe even a majority if it, we don’t really know, was spent on Trans or Trans adjacent campaigning or advocacy. The report does state that a large amount of money has been spent on youth oriented campaigns and Trans organisations.

Ms Alistair said:

“This is the most explosive story you’ll read all month, but the mainstream media won’t say a word about it. An anonymous researcher has created a database of donations made to LGBTQ+ causes by over 1,600 major corporations, including all of the Fortune 500 companies and every corporation given a score by the 2022-2023 HRC Corporate Equality Index, from 2022-2024.

These donations, given to more than 2,500 separate groups and beneficiaries, add up to over a BILLION dollars. “Gender affirming care,” however, is a $6 billion/year industry — two years’ investment recouped 6x over, year after year after year. Everything we’ve suspected is true, and here’s the proof.

Gender ideology is indeed a creation of corporate greed, meant to sucker people – especially children – into a lifetime of medicalization, thus creating a steady stream of income for shareholders. Thousands of little donations – at an average of $400k – to small “grassroots” organizations deliberately created the false impression that gender ideology was a legitimate civil rights movement. I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve never heard of a civil rights movement with 1,600 corporate sponsors before. 1,600 major corporations, including the world’s 500 largest, handed these people more than a BILLION dollars from 2022-2024 — and they think they’re marginalized? That they’re vulnerable? They have used every last dollar of that money to oppress people who actually are vulnerable, whining the whole time that telling them “no” is violence.

Look at them, with their corporate ideology that was cooked up in boardrooms to maximize profits, repeating whatever strategic lie the advertising department came up with last week. What is it this time? We’ve already heard that “trans girls” get periods, that hormones make your feet shrink, that there’s no physical difference between men and women, and that women’s sports should be taken over by men because not enough people care about them — so what’s next on the List of Obvious Nonsense? If you watch closely, you can see the “unrelated” accounts all swing into action repeating the new lie. When they don’t have anything in particular, they resort to repetition, knowing that some people come to believe the things they hear over and over again, even when they objectively know better.

The researchers also included a sample of the DEI policies enacted by corporations, although they were “too numerous to list in full.” This database makes one thing very clear. DEI initiatives undertaken by major corporations were not a response to public pressure: rather, they were created to pressure the public. There is no massive pro-trans grassroots movement; it’s just a bunch of corporations funding a thin, loud layer of fanatics, bullying groups of uncertain people who think they’re doing the right thing. http://lgbtdatabase.com “

Ms Alistair’s piece does make me wonder just how organic the Trans movement really is? Yes I can recall Transvestites and Transsexuals in the 80’s and 90’s, but in no way could Trans be called a movement comparable to the Gay men who campaigned for more research into AIDS or who cared for those who suffered from this terrible disease, or the fight by Gays, Lesbians and Bisexuals to be treated equally in things such as employment and family law. These were mass movements with lots of people onside and being built from the bottom up in response to a perceived need. Trans, whether we are referring to Transvestites or Transsexuals were always very small groupings and only to be found at specialist club nights or hanging around the fringes of the various Gay and Bisexual ‘scenes’. It was never a mass movement. It was tolerated but not embraced by those who were in these LGB environments because most people who were there were there because they were same sex or both sex attracted.

It’s quite possible that when the history of this time is written by some future historian it will be seen plainly that the Trans movement was not wholly organic but was mostly astroturfed and created from the top down rather than from the bottom up. Yes I was aware of some Trans activists back in the 90’s who were pretty well connected to parties of the liberal/left such as the Liberal Democrats, but it was niche not wholly mainstream. It certainly was not a mass movement.

Massive amounts of money must have been expended to make Trans look like a mass movement as what can be encompassed in the term Trans ranges from blokes who like to cross dress as it’s their kink and closet Bisexuals who can only get aroused by a man if one of both of them are cross dressed. Other people under the Trans umbrella are those with such profound mental illnesses that they hate their own sex and want it to be different and by desiring this fall into the hands of expensive Quacks who mutilate and poison them. There’s also attention seekers and those who just want to use their ‘identity’ as Trans to set fire to the world and watch it burn. There’s also predators, all too many of them in the Trans movement.

Now I don’t care what people’s personal kinks are just as long as they are safe, sane and consensual and not taken out in public to frighten the horses. I feel dreadfully sorry for those people who thought that mutilating their bodies would make them happy only to find that it didn’t cure their underlying mental problems and the way to deal with attention seekers is to ignore them. Difficult though to ignore the higher number of predators sexual and otherwise among those who identify as Trans. Trans is a mixture of stuff some of which can be safely ignored, like people’s personal private kinks, but there is a lot of which should not be ignored. The people with mental illnesses who have subjected to psychological and surgical quackery that in too many cases has sub par results, the predator tendency and the way that this ideology has burrowed so deeply into public and state institutions. These things should not be ignored. Trans is many things but is not and has never been an organic mass movement. It’s really only been a few extremists and quite recently a lot of money.

If over a billion US Dollars was donated to orgs that centre Trans in America then we need to ask what’s been spent and by whom in making Trans in the UK look like a mass movement, when it clearly was not? Who or what paid for the deep embedding of Trans in the National Health Service, our Police Forces, the Armed Services, the Civil Service. Is it the government? Is it the various private grant making trusts who often lean to the political Left? Is it multinationals? Who or what paid for the Press For Change Trans activists to tour UK Government departments and become major players in departmental LGB staff groups and maybe influence policy makers and administrators?

If various companies and organisations have been shovelling money at groups with a major focus on Trans as well as a frankly creepy interest in funding LGBT youth groups in the United States then why would anyone think that the same thing has not happened here?
