The lies they have to tell to persuade us that “trans” is a legitimate civil rights movement: Part 1

A few days ago, the ACLU tweeted about its new “Trans Timeline,” which “looks back at our shared fight and resilience and uplifts stories from our community.”

*Full disclosure: I worked at the ACLU between 2012 and 2014.

On its face, the timeline looks and reads like a typical timeline of a civil rights movement. Timelines of actual civil rights movements can be found here and here.

When you click on the ACLU’s timeline, viewers are first treated to this, informing us that the timeline is “a part of the ACLU’s larger campaign, The Trans Script, which illustrates moments of trans joy in a truly unforgettable way.”

The only problem is that the entire thing consists of untruths, some a bit hidden, others more blatant. We have all known for some time that the sex-abolition industry lies about sex. It turns out that it lies about, well, pretty much everything else too. This is all just part of the industry’s efforts to persuade everyone that “trans” is a decades-long civil rights struggle. It’s historical revisionism at its finest.

I did not start this piece thinking that it would be a series. However, the more I dug into the timeline, the more lies I found and I realized that the project was going to be more ambitious than I had initially thought. This is Part 1. Buckle in.
