Thursday on X (Twitter), all users saw the same pinned topic under the “What’s happening?” sidebar. As part of a “timeline takeover” — which gives advertisers “priority access to logged-in users’ first impression of the day” — conservative media nonprofit PragerU is promoting the hashtag “#DETRANS” to advertise its new film about “the stories of detransitioners.”
This isn’t anti-trans
It’s Prager U, it’s absolutely anti-trans.
Out of context, on its own, it wouldn’t be. But if you look at who is pushing it, that changes the picture.
If a known anti-trans person pushes the media so hard, you can be certain it is anti-trans.
Consider the source
If you look into the detransitioner movement, it is indeed anti-trans.
Only fascist trans murderers question the given narrative.
Only fascists refer to the existence of certain people as a “narrative”.
People by their very definition are narrative. If one has ever taken an action that effected another, they are part of ‘the’ narrative.
