    I read through the article. I think that the screenshot is the only leak revealed by Ken. The rest of the article talks about documents published by the Heritage Foundation. The conclusion of the substack article is that Republicans are trying to invent a transgender category of terrorism designation, “Transgender Ideology Inspired Violent Extremism” TIVE.

      They’re doing a rerun of the “videogames cause violence” moral panic, but instead of videogames it’s trans identity.

      The end goal is going to be to try and take down all trans spaces online because they “cause violence”.

        I think there is an existing category for White Supremacist violence. I see some government webpages using the label “White Supremacist Extremist (WSE)” as a designation.

        The MAGA regime is trying to make a conspiracy theory that transgender people are supremacists or that they want to force every cis person to become transgender.

          You’d think the capital class would push for transgender acceptance for the economic opportunity-- selling hormones and cash-paid surgeries, new clothes and makeup to a new audience, replacing bathroom signs. Being able to signal “being the good guy” and court certain demographics without anything involving spending a dime.

          We’ll know America figured it out when someone demonstrates their wealth by hoarding all the genders for themselves.
