As an environmental activist who was deplatformed from a speaking venue by transactivists, in 2013 I developed curiosity about the power of this group to force this development. A year later, when Time<\/em> magazine announced a transgender tipping point on its cover, I had already begun to examine the money behind the transgender project.<\/p>\n

I have watched as all-women\u2019s safe spaces, universities, and sports opened their doors to any man who chose to identify as a woman. Whereas men who identify as transwomen are at the forefront of this project, women who identify as transmen seem silent and invisible.\u00a0I was astonished that such a huge cultural change as the opening of sex-protected spaces was happening at such a meteoric pace and without consideration for women and girls\u2019 safety, deliberation, or public debate.<\/p>\n

Concurrent with these rapid changes, I witnessed an overhaul in the English language with new pronouns and a near-tyrannical assault on those who did not use them. Laws mandating new speech<\/a> were passed. Laws overriding biological sex with the amorphous concept of gender identity are being instituted now. People who speak openly about these changes can find themselves, their families, and their livelihoods threatened.<\/p>\n

These elements, along with media saturation of the issue, had me wondering: Is this really a civil rights issue for a tiny part of the population with body dysphoria, or is there a bigger agenda with moneyed interests that we are not seeing? This article can only begin to graze the surface of this question, but considering transgenderism has basically exploded in the middle of capitalism, which is notorious for subsuming social justice movements, there is value in beginning this examination.<\/p>\n

Who Is Funding the Transgender Movement?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I found exceedingly rich, white men with enormous cultural influence are funding the transgender lobby and various transgender organizations. These include but are not limited to Jennifer Pritzker<\/a> (a male who identifies as transgender); George Soros<\/a>; Martine Rothblatt<\/a> (a male who identifies as transgender and transhumanist); Tim Gill<\/a> (a gay man); Drummond Pike<\/a>; Warren and Peter Buffett; Jon Stryker<\/a> (a gay man); Mark Bonham<\/a> (a gay man); and Ric Weiland<\/a> (a deceased gay man whose philanthropy is still LGBT-oriented). Most of these billionaires fund the transgender lobby and organizations through their own organizations, including corporations.<\/p>\n

Separating transgender issues from LGBT infrastructure is not an easy task. All the wealthiest donors have been funding LGB institutions before they became LGBT-oriented, and only in some instances are monies earmarked specifically for transgender issues. Some of these billionaires fund the LGBT through their myriad companies, multiplying their contributions many times over in ways that are also difficult to track<\/p>\n

These funders often go through anonymous funding organizations such as Tides Foundation<\/a>, founded and operated by Pike. Large corporations, philanthropists, and organizations can send enormous sums of money to the Tides Foundation, specify the direction the funds are to go, and have the funds get to their destination anonymously. Tides Foundation creates a legal firewall and tax shelter<\/a> for foundations and funds political campaigns<\/a>, often using legally dubious tactics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These men and others, including pharmaceutical companies and the U.S. government, are sending millions of dollars to LGBT causes. Overall reported global spending on LGBT is now estimated at $424 million<\/a>. From 2003-2013, reported funding for transgender issues increased more than eightfold<\/a>, growing at threefold the increase of LGBTQ funding overall, which quadrupled<\/a> from 2003 to 2012. This huge spike in funding happened at the same time transgenderism began gaining traction in American culture.<\/p>\n

$424 million is a lot of money. Is it enough to change laws, uproot language and force new speech on the public, to censor, to create an atmosphere of threat for those who do not comply with gender identity ideology?<\/p>\n

Transgenderism: A New Medical and Lifestyle Market<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It seems obvious now to look at the money behind transgenderism. Many new markets have opened because of it. The first gender clinic for children<\/a> opened in Boston in 2007. In the past ten years, more than 30 clinics for children with purported gender dysphoria have arisen in the United States alone<\/a>, the largest serving 725<\/a> patients<\/p>\n

Over the past decade, there has been an explosion in transgender medical infrastructure<\/a> across the United States and world to \u201ctreat\u201d transgender people. In addition to gender clinics proliferating across the United States<\/a>, hospital wings are being built for specialized surgeries, and many medical institutions<\/a> are clamoring to get on board<\/a> with the new developments.<\/p>\n

Doctors are being trained in cadaver symposiums across the world<\/a>\u00a0in all manner of surgeries related to transgender individuals, including phalloplasty<\/a>, vaginoplasty<\/a>, facial feminization surgery<\/a>, urethral procedures<\/a>, and more. More and more<\/a> American corporations are covering<\/a>\u00a0transgender surgeries, drugs, and other expenses. Endocrinologists seeking the fountain of youth in hormones for more than a generation<\/a>, and the subsequent earnings for marketing those hormones, are still on a quest for gold.<\/p>\n

Puberty blockers are another growing market. The plastic surgery arm of medicine is staged for an infusion of cash as well as organ transplants, especially womb transplants for men<\/a> identifying as women who may want future pregnancies. These surgeries are already being practiced on animals<\/a> and the first successful womb implant<\/a> from a deceased female donor to another female has already been a success.\u00a0Biogenetics is poised to be the investment of the future, says Rothblatt, who has headed a massive pharmaceutical corporation and is now heavily invested in biogenetics and transplants<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Transgenderism has certainly made its way into the American marketplace, so it seems important to consider the implications of this as we pass laws regarding transgender individuals\u2019 and our civil liberties. Transgenderism sits square in the middle of the medical industrial complex, which is by some estimates<\/a> even bigger than the military industrial complex<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With the medical infrastructure being built, doctors being trained for various surgeries, clinics opening at warp speed, and the media celebrating it, transgenderism is poised for growth. The LGB, a once-tiny group of people trying to love those of the same sex openly and be treated equally within society, has likely already been subsumed by capitalism and is now infiltrated by the medical industrial complex via transgenderism.<\/p>\n

Who Works to Institutionalize Transgender Ideology?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Much more important than funds going directly to the LGBT lobby and organizations, only a fraction of which trickles down to assist people who identify as transgender, is the money invested by the men mentioned above, governments, and technology and pharmaceutical corporations to institutionalize and normalize transgenderism as a lifestyle choice. They are shaping the narrative about transgenderism and normalizing it within the culture using their funding methods.<\/p>\n

This article will use the Pritzker family as a case study, both to reduce length and because they are emblematic of how this works. Those funding trans organizations and normalizing transgenderism are channeling funds in the same ways and invested in the same medical infrastructure. This can hardly be a coincidence when the very thing absolutely essential to those transitioning are pharmaceuticals and technology.\u00a0It is also important to note that though the trans lobby has sewn itself to the LGB umbrella, LGB people as such are not lifelong medical patients.<\/p>\n

The Pritzkers<\/a> are an American family of philanthropic billionaires worth approximately $29 billion, whose fortune was gestated by Hyatt Hotels and nursing homes<\/a>. They now have massive investments in the medical industrial complex.<\/p>\n

Examining just a few of the Pritzkers in this article will give you some indication of their reach and influence as a family, especially as regards the transgender project and their relationship to the medical industrial complex. As you read, remember, transitioning individuals are medical patients for life and the Pritzker family are not an anomaly in their funding trajectory or investments in the medical-industrial complex.<\/p>\n

Once a family man and a decorated member of the armed forces, Jennifer Pritzker now identifies as transgender. He has made transgenderism a high note in philanthropic funding through his Tawani Foundation<\/a>.<\/strong> He is one of the largest contributors to transgender causes and, with his family, an enormous influence in the rapid institutionalization of transgenderism.<\/p>\n

Some of the organizations Jennifer owns and funds are especially noteworthy to examining the rapid induction of transgender ideology into medical, legal and educational institutions. Pritzker owns Squadron Capital, an acquisitions corporation<\/a>, with a focus on medical technology, medical devices<\/a>, and orthopedic implants<\/a>, and the Tawani Foundation, <\/strong>a philanthropic organization with a grants focus<\/a> on Gender & Human Sexuality.<\/p>\n

Pritzker sits on the leadership council<\/a> of the Program of Human Sexuality at the University of Minnesota, to which he also committed $6.5 million<\/a> over the past decade. Among many other organizations and institutions Pritzker funds are Lurie Children\u2019s Hospital<\/a>, a medical center for gender non-conforming children, serving 400 children in Chicago; the Pritzker School of Medicine at the University of Chicago<\/a>; a chair of transgender studies<\/a> at the University of Victoria (the first of its kind<\/a>); and the Mark S. Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies<\/a> at the University of Toronto. He also funds the American Civil Liberties Union<\/a> and his family funds Planned Parenthood<\/a>, two significant organizations for institutionalizing female-erasing language and support for transgender causes. Planned Parenthood also recently decided<\/a> to get into the transgender medical market.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Pritzker funds strategically, as does his family, by giving to universities that become beholden to his ideology, whose students go on to spread gender ideology by writing pro-trans articles in medical journals and elsewhere. Jennifer\u2019s uncle and aunt, John and Lisa Pritzker,\u00a0gave $25 million to the University of California at San Francisco<\/a> for a center of children\u2019s psychiatry. Jennifer likewise funds hospitals and medical schools where the alumni go on to create transgender specialties and LGBT medical centers, even though lesbians, gays, and bisexuals don\u2019t need specialized medical services.<\/p>\n

Here are just several current activities of Pritzker-funded medical school alumni and recipients of Pritzker money.<\/p>\n
