Transgenderism, Transhumanism, and the Top-down Revolution to Transform Humanity
Ten years ago, nobody had transgender or non-binary kids. No one talked about transgenderism. Pretending to be a woman was a sick fetish confined mostly to older men. Nobody celebrated them or even remotely considered them role models for children. Teenage girls struggled with all kinds of issues, but uncertainty over their sex was not one of them.
All that has completely changed in a very short period of time. Transgenderism seemingly dominates our lives. High percentages of children in some areas are claiming a trans identity at younger and younger ages. Trans characters are everywhere in entertainment. The legal system, along with our language, are being redefined to erase biological women from existence. All this is happening to widespread acclaim among our societal elites.
A recent example is the “Drag Isn’t Dangerous Telethon” put on by Producer Entertainment Group with several LGBTQ organizations and corporate sponsors including Black Queer Town Hall, Concord, DeleteMe, Five Senses Reeling/Obsessed GLAAD, GLSEN, Headcount.org, Loyal Studios, OutTV, Q.Digital, OUTtv, Trixie Cosmetics, SERV Vodka and UTA. The four-hour livestream event was designed to be a celebration of all things drag and reportedly raised more than $500,000 from 5,000 individual donors. Quite a few “A-List” celebrities were in attendance and voiced their full-throated support for men pretending to be women. Actress Marcia Gay Harden (the mom on the hit show So Help Me Todd) had this to say at the event about why she supports Transgender rights:
“What drives me is because it’s right and what’s happening right now is wrong,” the So Help Me Todd star explained. “What drives me is — my children are all queer. My eldest child is non-binary. My son is gay. My youngest is fluid. And you know, they are my kids and they teach me every day.”
Not so long ago, claiming to be “non-binary” would have gotten you therapy. Now Hollywood moms gush over their mentally ill offspring on shows celebrating a perverted male fetish. If you are confused as to how this could have possibly happened, rest assured – your confusion is intentional.
Transgenderism is presented as a human rights movement. A bottom-up reaction of a “marginalized” group of people who were “born in the wrong bodies” and are looking for medical help and acceptance. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Transgenderism is a top-down revolution. It was conceived and funded by billionaires in alliance with Big Tech, Big Pharma, Big Finance, Big Foundations, and NGOs. Everything you see now, including the intentional targeting of children, has been done on purpose through the channeling of billions of dollars into all aspects of our society. Transgenderism is not a natural phenomenon we are just now “discovering”. It was engineered.
But if so – why?
Jennifer Bilek is a feminist, and an investigative journalist, who has looked into the people, industries, and non-profits financing the Transgender movement. Bilek doesn’t appear to be religious, so hers is a mostly secular analysis based on “follow the money” investigative techniques. While recognizing that Transgenderism is a cult and that our society is broken, her secular outlook causes her to miss some of the deeper spiritual causes of the movement. Regardless, her explosive 38 minute video below is vital watching for anyone wanting to begin to understand what is happening.
We highly encourage you to watch the video, as we will not recap the whole thing here. Instead, based on Bilek’s work and other research, we would like to provide some additional commentary on key aspects of Transgenderism. (For an Orthodox Christian MD’s view on this subject, please read Elephants in the (Trans) Gender Room)
1. Transgenderism is the On Ramp to Transhumanism – The Real Goal
One of the key figures Bilek mentions is Martine Rothblatt. In addition to being “transgender”, Rothblatt is a pioneer of the transhumanist movement.
In 2004, Rothblatt launched the Terasem Movement, a transhumanist school of thought focused on promoting joy, diversity, and the prospect of technological immortality via mind uploading and geoethical nanotechnology. Through a charitable foundation, leaders of this school convene publicly accessible symposia, publish explanatory analyses, conduct demonstration projects, issue grants, and encourage public awareness and adherence to Terasem values and goals. The movement maintains a “Terasem Island” on the Internet-based virtual world Second Life, which is currently composed of two sims, which was constructed by the E-Spaces company.
Who needs God when man can create eternal life on his own? Transhumanists are upfront about wanting to be a god, or at least making one via technology. Rothblatt has been quoted as saying, “we are making God as we are implementing technology that is ever more all-knowing, ever-present, all-powerful, and beneficent.”
To get people prepared for a post-human future, it is necessary to get them to disassociate from their own bodies. This is from an article by a girl who is now a “detransitioner”:
One has to understand the nature of the world’s evil before one can repair it. The first step in obtaining that knowledge is realizing that our bodies are not us, but things which we’re trapped inside of. We’re not humans; we’re ghosts haunting rotting corpses. To stop the Enemy, trans people need to make us all understand that our true selves don’t exist in our corrupted material forms. This is what gender identity actually means: We are not our bodies.
She got this anti-human philosophy from Reddit Groups, Tumblr blogs, and other Social Media. The ultimate source for it all was Rothblatt and his fellow Transhumanist philosophers. To embrace the Transhumanist future, people must be conditioned to reject the necessity for a human body. Step 1, apparently, is getting humans to reject the biological reality of sex. If you are willing to deny your own intrinsic nature, then isn’t everything else fair game?
The legal framework established for Transgenderism is useful for any kind of human augmentation or manipulation. If people “trapped” in the wrong bodies can change their sex, then why can’t suffering people do whatever it takes to make them happy: implant any and all technology, manipulate DNA, radically alter their bodies, live in VR, become a data stream uploaded to the Cloud, or anything else for that matter?
After all, if you can mainstream the sexual mutilation of children, just what line could be left you can’t cross?
Transhumanists dream of living as a totally new species – Humanity the Upgrade. But to really drive that kind of biological change, they need to control reproduction. Sterilizing as much of the current generation as possible opens the the possibility for the Medical Technological Complex to truly own human reproduction. From there, the possibilities are limitless. Transgenderism may not be the only front in the war to stop natural births. We know that sperm counts in men are declining, that the mRNA vaxes seem to pool in gonads with possible long term fertility effects, and that overall fertility rates are cratering all over the world. Yet, no one in authority seems inclined to do much of anything about all of that, despite the danger lack of babies presents for the continuation of our very species.
The common explanation for that unconcern is that our global elites want to reduce the population. That may be true. It could also be that the Med-Tech industry wants to become the sole controller of reproduction for ideological, religious, and financial reasons. By erasing women, Transgenderism furthers the goal of taking away the distinctive ability of women to create new life.

2. Children are the Target
“Transgender” children are not born. They are made. Major law firms got the ball rolling by creating the legal construct of a transgender child. Funding then started flowing to Social Media influencers, entertainment, media, and education to promote the idea to children that they could have been “born in the wrong body”. If this were only about Drag Queen Story Hour at libraries, most kids would be safe. But it isn’t. Transgenderism is everywhere, especially in the schools. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker is an active supporter of Transgenderism. Along with his transgender cousin “Jennifer “Pritzker, he has used his family’s philanthropic apparatus to drive the ideology and practice of disembodiment through out our entire culture. As a governor, he is using his position to drive this agenda into the schools:
On June 30, 2019, Gov. Pritzker issued Executive Order 19-11, titled Strengthening Our Commitment to Affirming and Inclusive Schools, to welcome and support children with manufactured sex identities. A task force was established to outline statewide criteria for schools and teachers that recommended districts amend their school board policies “to strengthen protections for transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming students.”
In August 2021, Gov. Pritzker signed into law a new sex education bill for all public schools in Illinois, the first of its kind designed in accordance with the second edition of the National Sex Education Standards (NSES) to update sex ed curricula in K-12 schools. Bill SB0 818 will be implemented on or before Aug. 1, 2022. Though the bill includes a written opt-out for parents (but not an alternative if they do opt-out), many are concerned with the material being brought into children’s schools under the auspices of teaching them sexual health—namely gender identity ideology and other related material.
The NSES manual was crafted by The Future of Sex Education Initiative (FoSE) and funded by the Grove Foundation, which in turn has also worked with the David and Lucile Packard Foundation (of Hewlett-Packard fortune) and Ford Foundation to institute Working to Institutionalize Sex Education (WISE)—“A national initiative that supports school districts in implementing sex education”—throughout the country. The Bridgespan Group, which assisted the Pritzkers with their philanthropic trajectory in 2012, was retained by the Packard Foundation to review its collaborative efforts across its investment portfolio and to report on a series of case studies, including the WISE initiative.
FoSE is a collaboration between three other organizations: The Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (Siecus), “a national, nonprofit organization dedicated to affirming that sexuality is a natural and healthy part of life”; Advocates for Youth, “partnering with youth leaders, adult allies, and youth-serving organizations to advocate for policies and champion programs that recognize young people’s rights to honest sexual health information”; and Answer, “which provides and promotes unfettered access to comprehensive sexuality education for young people.” Each of these is also funded by the Grove Foundation, whose fortune comes from the now-deceased Andrew Grove, former CEO of Intel Corporation.
FoSE has created a “scaffolding approach” to teaching kids about sex in public schools and teaching them very young. Its credo is that “not only are younger children able to discuss sexuality-related issues but that the early grades may, in fact, be the best time to introduce topics related to sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, gender equality, and social justice related to the LGBTQ community before hetero- and cisnormative values and assumptions become more deeply ingrained and less mutable.”
Other states have passed similar measures. The material taught to young children under Pritzker’s law has been called “pornographic”. The exposure to sexually explicit material at a young age is traumatizing to children. Trauma can lead to bodily disassociation, among other negative outcomes. A whole generation of children are being turned into LGBTQ neurotics as a matter of state educational policy.
But it is not enough for states to create mentally ill children. Many states are also actively blocking parents from interfering in the “transitions” of their minors:
Minors seeking gender-affirming care in Washington will be protected from the intervention of estranged parents under a measure signed into law by Gov. Jay Inslee Tuesday afternoon.
The new law is part of a wave of legislation this year in Democratic-led states intended to give refuge amid a conservative movement in which lawmakers in other states have attacked transgender rights and limited or banned gender-affirming care for minors.
The goal of all this is to present Transgenderism, and the coming Transhumanism, as “just another way to be human”. Our next generation will be traumatized, indoctrinated, possibly sterilized, mentally ill, and passively accepting of things we can scarcely imagine.
Our children are the target. We need to be in the way.
3. The LGB Created the T
Accepting homosexuality as “normal”, and not a mental disorder, was the first step towards getting us where we are. Homosexuality is not normal any more than Transgenderism is. Homosexuality should never have been mainstreamed. I highly recommend you download this PDF by author Jeffrey B. Satinover, M.D., Ph.D. titled The “Trojan Couch: How the Mental Health Associations Misrepresent Science”. In this paper, Satinover blows the lid off how shoddy science combined with political activism and violent intimidation to create the myth of “born gay”.
Homosexuality is itself a fetish and a rejection of biological reality. In addition, the fight against AIDS and for “gay rights” led to the creation of massive foundations whose billions have gone into promoting Transgenderism. Curiously, these charitable foundations also seem to frequently “fund” projects that are profitable for the industry or industries from which their primary wealth originates.
An example named by Bilek was the ARCUS foundation, originally set up to promote AIDS research / education, and gay rights. ARCUS was founded by Jon Stryker, whose grandfather founded Stryker Corp, which just happened to sell $14.4 billion in medical equipment in 2020. Stryker has given away over $675 million in his lifetime. In June 2021 alone, he gave $5.3 million to University of California, Berkeley’s College of Environmental Design.
You can buy a lot of influence for that kind of money. Especially when you spread it around to cash strapped organizations such as universities, medical schools, clinics, researchers, newspapers, etc. It is just a coincidence, obviously, that such donations encourage people to get costly surgeries benefitting the primary source of Stryker’s wealth.
To explore this grift further, let’s go back to the Pritzker family and talk about “Jennifer” Pritzker’s philanthropic initiatives. (SSI below is how the author refers to Transgenderism – Synthetic Sexual Identities).
Ever since, a motivating and driving force behind the Pritzkers’ family wide commitment to SSI has been J.B.’s cousin Jennifer (born James) Pritzker—a retired lieutenant colonel in the Illinois Army National Guard and the father of three children. In 2013, around the time gender ideology reached the level of mainstream American culture, Jennifer Pritzker announced a transition to womanhood. Since then, Pritzker has used the Tawani Foundation to help fund various institutions that support the concept of a spectrum of human sexes, including the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, the Williams Institute UCLA School of Law, the National Center for Transgender Equality, the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Palm Military Center, the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH), and many others. Tawani Enterprises, the private investment counterpart to the philanthropic foundation, invests in and partners with Squadron Capital LLC, a Chicago-based private investment vehicle that acquires a number of medical device companies that manufacture instruments, implants, cutting tools, and injection molded plastic products for use in surgeries. As in the case of Jon Stryker, founder of the LGBT mega-NGO Arcus Foundation, it is hard to avoid the impression of complementarity between Jennifer Pritzker’s for-profit medical investments and philanthropic support for SSI.
Pritzker also helps fund the University of Minnesota National Center for Gender Spectrum Health, which claims “the gender spectrum is inclusive of the wide array of gender identities beyond binary definitions of gender—inclusive of cisgender and transgender identities, gender queer, and nonbinary identities as a normal part of the natural expression of gender. Gender spectrum health is the healthy, affirmed, positive development of a gender identity and expression that is congruent with the individual’s sense of self.” The university, where Pritzker has served on the Leadership Council for the Program in Human Sexuality, provides “young adult gender services” in the medical school’s Institute for Sexual and Gender Health.
Pritzker’s philanthropy is also active in Canada, where Jennifer has helped fund the University of Toronto’s Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies, a teaching institution invested in the deconstruction of human sex. An instructor in the Bonham Centre and the curator of its Sexual Representation Collection—“Canada’s largest archival collection of pornography”—is transgender studies professor Nicholas Matte, who denies categorically that sexual dimorphism exists. Pritzker also created the first chair in transgender studies at the University of Victoria in British Columbia. The current chair, Aaron Devor, founded an annual conference called Moving Trans History Forward, whose keynote speaker in 2016 was the renowned transhumanist, Martine Rothblatt, who was mentored by the transhumanist Ray Kurzweil of Google. Rothblatt lectured there on the value of creating an organization such as WPATH to serve “tech transgenders” in the cultivation of “tech transhumanists.” (Rothblatt’s ideology of disembodiment and technological religion seems to be having nearly as much influence on American culture as Sirius satellite radio, which Rothblatt co-founded.)
Transgenderism and transhumanism are major cash cows for the Medical-Technological Complex, which actually dwarfs the Military Industrial Complex in size. Many of the individuals behind the movement are wealthy homosexuals who started out pushing for gay rights. These people are true revolutionaries out to change society, but they are also happy to get paid while doing it. Transgenderism means surgery, surgical equipment, hormones, puberty blockers, anti-biotics, anti-rejection drugs, cosmetic surgeries (shave down Adams apples, jaw shaved off, etc.), breast implants, other drugs, and psychiatric care.
Heck, even Botox companies are getting into the Transgender business:
Allergan Aesthetics, a pharmaceutical company that produces Botox injections and breast implants, funded doctors who promote cosmetic procedures as particularly beneficial and even medically necessary for transgender people.
Allergan has been quietly funding research that promotes neurotoxin injections and injectable facial fillers, which the company produces under the labels Botox and Juvederm, for transgender people. The company has also paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in consulting and public speaking fees to doctors who are involved in this research, or who offer transgender cosmetic procedures that may involve Allergan products, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation.
Advocates of cross-sex surgeries have successfully branded the procedures as medically necessary by arguing that, without them, transgender people are less satisfied with their lives and more likely to commit suicide. Medical industry leaders in recent years have pushed to add cosmetic procedures, including facial contouring and laser hair removal, to the growing list of treatments considered medically necessary for transgender people, which could line the pockets of pharmaceutical companies and medical providers by forcing insurers to cover them, according to a previous DCNF report.
“This isn’t the 65-year-old woman who comes in complaining of marionette lines or brown spots on her face. These are individuals who very deeply know that they are in the wrong body,” Bonati told Dermatology Times for an article about her study. “It’s medically necessary, ethical care that will help adolescents affirm who they are.”
The best science money can buy.
4. Preparing for the Antichrist
At the end of this article, Bilek speculates on why so many rich people are committed to changing the very nature of humanity:
But what could possibly explain the abrupt drive of wealthy elites to deconstruct who and what we are and to manipulate children’s sex characteristics in clinics now spanning the globe while claiming new rights for those being deconstructed? Perhaps it is profit. Perhaps it is the pleasure of seeing one’s own personal obsessions writ large. Perhaps it is the human temptation to play God.
Profit certainly plays a role. Wanting vindication for your own obsessions plays a role. Wanting to be God and achieve immortality via human action plays a role. But that’s not all that we are dealing with here. This is also a spiritual battle. The greatest in human history.
Satan hates God’s created order. Satan hates human beings made in the image of God. Satan hates women, who bear future servants of God. Satan hates children, who have a chance to grow in God’s grace. Satan’s hate alone would be enough for him to want to ruin us as a species. But there is another reason.
Jesus Christ is both Man and God. He was born into the world and totally changed it by His presence. His coming was foretold, but no one needed to materially prepare the way for Him. The Antichrist, by contrast, will be a normal man who will rule most (if not all) of the world. Preparations for such a rule must be made in advance. Antichrist will refer to the system just as much as the man.
Whether the drive to fundamentally change humanity succeeds or fails, it is not hard to see how all this works towards the future rule of Satan’s own chosen one. If traumatized people are unable to even speak about the reality of biological sex, then how are they to resist the coming to power of a man who seemingly has all the answers? A man who is supported by all the powerful people they have been brainwashed to trust?
There will be an Antichrist. There will be an end to history, the Second Coming, the Resurrection, and the Life of the World to Come. It is fashionable at this time for us to believe all of these events are close. But is that necessarily the case? There are examples from history when prophesied disasters were avoided through repentance and prayer. Could the Orthodox Church lead us to such holiness that God lets the world spin on a generation or two longer?
Whether that is possible or not, it is clear that a spiritually healthy, faithful Orthodox Church will be key to any meaningful resistance to the coming Transhumanist order. Which is why the Orthodox Church has become a target for the big money behind the trans agenda. We could go into many examples of financed subversion within the Orthodox Church. However, one group of subversives really does stand above all others – Fordham University’s Orthodox Christian Studies Center. Below are two reasons why.
In partnership with the British University of Exeter, and funded by the British Council, the Friends of the British Council, and the Henry Luce Foundation, Fordham produced a report in 2020 titled Eastern Orthodoxy & Sexual Diversity: Perspectives and Challenges from the Modern West. This gem of scholarship quotes noted pedophile Michel Foucault as an expert, and includes such useful information as the paragraph below on “transgender children”:
For instance, transgender children frequently show the first signs of distress when forced into gender-specific types of dress or play and especially bathroom usage in early childhood. A transgender child will frequently be so distressed that they are virtually incapacitated. They exhibit symptoms such as bedwetting, extreme inconsolable tantrums, acting out in many ways, and even suicidal ideation and attempts (like jumping from a high place or running in front of a car) as young as age 4–5.
A transgender 4 or 5 year old? God help us. This is the product of Orthodox scholarship? An innocent child can be “trapped in the wrong body” causing him or her to act out when confronted with bathroom usage? The report is chock full of such denials of common sense, reality, and authentic Christian teaching.
Frighteningly, this report also included the “good news” that an appreciation for “sexual diversity” was finding its way into the Orthodox Church:
There are also instances of the tacit acknowledgment of the legitimacy of sexual diversity demonstrated in concrete pastoral practice. A very small number of communities both in traditionally-Orthodox countries and the so-called diaspora practice open hospitality towards LGBTQ+ persons and many more pastors practice functional inclusion while maintaining the official positions of the Church when pressed to do so (e.g. by giving Holy Communion to same-sex couples and quieting dissenting voices in their community by appeal to the tradition of not scrutinizing the soul of another). In some larger cities, “LGBTQ+ friendly” parishes exist with the knowledge of the bishop and his blessing for the priest to extend as much pastoral and sacramental care as possible (e.g. by baptizing children adopted by same-sex couples or permitting them to serve on the parish council). At least one local Orthodox Church has permitted in practice the celebration of a “Doxology” for same-sex couples in civil marriages and this same local church has a broadly liberal Western tolerant attitude to the integration of gay couples in many of its communities.
From the perspective of those in Western societies in which LGBTQ+ identities and sexual practices are broadly accepted and celebrated and there is, in fact, social stigma increasingly attached to remaining “in the closet” or accepting any discrimination or secondary status, this situation will appear far from optimal or even tolerable.
If you read the report, it is clear that the quoted paragraph above illustrates the embrace of “sexual diversity” that the authors intend for the entire Orthodox Church. Thank God we Orthodox have no Papacy to force such heresy upon us. But we must remember that the Antichrist will appear to the world to be the Second Coming of the actual Christ. He will not appear to be a tyrant, nor will he spread atheism. Rather, he will appear to stand in place of Christ. Many Christians will follow him into sin. Perverting the Christian Faith makes it more difficult for the uneducated to tell the difference between authentic Christianity and the religion of the Antichrist.
More recently, Fordham Press gave us Gender Essentialism and Orthodoxy: Beyond Male and Female by Bryce E Rich – PhD in Theology from the University of Chicago whose specializations include queer theory and theologies. Any guesses as to the case this book puts forward concerning the gender binary? Description below.
Within contemporary Orthodoxy, debates over sex and gender have become increasingly polemical over the past generation. Beginning with questions around women’s ordination, arguments have expanded to include feminism, sexual orientation, the sacrament of marriage, definitions of family, adoption of children, and care of transgender individuals. Preliminary responses to each of these topics are shaped by gender essentialism, the idea that male and female are ontologically fixed and incommensurate categories with different sets of characteristics and gifts for each sex. These categories, in turn, delineate gender roles in the family, the church, and society.
Gender Essentialism and Orthodoxy offers an immanent critique of gender essentialism in the stream of the contemporary Orthodox Church influenced by the “Paris School” of Russian émigré theologians and their heirs. It uses an interdisciplinary approach to bring into conversation patristic reflections on sex and gender, personalist theological anthropology, insights from gender and queer theory, and modern biological understandings of human sexual differentiation. Though these are seemingly unrelated discourses, Gender Essentialism and Orthodoxy reveals unexpected points of convergence, as each line of thought eschews a strict gender binary in favor of more open-ended possibilities.
The study concludes by drawing out some theological implications of the preceding findings as they relate to the ordination of women to the priesthood, same-sex unions and sacramental understandings of marriage, definitions of family, and pastoral care for intersex, transgender, and non-binary parishioners.
What do you suppose the market is for a book like this? Orthodoxy is a small minority in the West, and this is a book that will offend the vast majority of faithful Christians. It is unlikely to make any money for anyone. How much should we bet that no one involved in the publication of this book cares about that fact at all? The people underwriting these subversive projects already have plenty of money, and ways to make even more. The goal of such a book, and the previously noted report, is to lay the intellectual groundwork for utterly changing the Orthodox Church, thus making her compatible with the dogmas of the growing global religion.
Fordham is a major problem, especially as it is tightly connected to the Greek Archdiocese, but there are many other snakes in the Orthodox Church. We must be aware of what we are up against from the world – who finances the transformation of humanity, who benefits from it, and why it is all happening. At the same time, we must constantly guard the sanctity of our own Orthodox Church, even as we embrace holiness to keep ourselves pure while preaching the faith to any who will listen.
Nicholas – member of the Western Rite Vicariate, a part of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese in America
