“Helping navigate the pitfalls of anti-LGBTQ+ junk science”

⚫️ Foundations of the Contemporary Anti-LGBTQ+ Pseudoscience Network https://www.splcenter.org/captain/foundations “ Anti-transgender sentiment has been vocalized louder and mobilized more efficiently in recent years, but this is due to decades of countermovement activism by the institutions of the anti-LGBTQ+ religious right. Recent successes are also due in large part to the work and intersections of three groups: anti-LGBTQ+ movement organizations, and two groups of mental health practitioners – an old guard of mostly sexologists who experienced fading fortunes in the 2010s and a new guard of reactionary mental health practitioners, who have forced into the scientific record their beliefs about what caused some of their own children to come out as trans.”

⚫️ Merging Pseudoscience and Politics https://www.splcenter.org/captain/pseudoscience-politics “By melding pseudoscientific claims and manipulative religious right narratives about “parents’ rights” and “religious freedom,” the strategy is intended to pit members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies against one another, invigorate moral crusaders who might otherwise be out-mobilized by pro-choice activists in the wake of the unpopular overturning of Roe v. Wade, and, ultimately, roll back LGBTQ+ rights across the board and further the white Christian nationalist takeover of American law and society.”
