Author and journalist Chris Rufo presents The Transgender Empire, a new video about the evolution of the transgender movement and its political mission to change American culture forever.
In the video, sponsored by the Manhattan Institute, Rufo details how the transgender movement has taken hold of American life via LGBTQ activist teachers, who have transformed classrooms into propaganda mills, social media influencers, and a predatory transgender medicine industry.
“The story goes deeper than you might imagine, featuring rage-filled intellectuals, a trans billionaire benefactor, and large scale medical experiments in a Detroit ghetto,” Rufo states in his introductory comments in the video. “This is the story of the transgender empire, how it came into being, and how it hopes to change the face of American society forever.”
The author of the upcoming America’s Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything, Rufo takes viewers through the beginnings of the transgender movement, with foundations in Marxism and the tenets of Critical Race Theory (CRT).
According to Rufo, the movement’s theorists made their case that male and female biological sex is “a false binary” upholding “a system of hetero-normativity, the white male heterosexual power structure.”
“These systems,” Rufo says the movement’s founders asserted, “must be ruthlessly deconstructed and turned to dust in the most visceral, dramatic way to achieve this transgenderism.”
To move the transgender movement from the fringes of society into the heart of public life, Rufo explains its founders needed cash, and Jennifer Pritzker, born James Pritzker, who served in the U.S. military and became an heir to the Hyatt Hotel fortune in 2013, became the first transgender billionaire to provide that funding:
[A]lmost immediately, Pritzker began donating untold millions to universities, schools, hospitals and activist organizations to promote queer theory and trans medical experiments. Meanwhile, Pritzker’s cousin, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, signed legislation pushing radical gender theory in the state education curriculum and directing state Medicaid funds towards transgender surgeries.
The video shows Gov. JB Pritzker vowing his support to transgender activists.
Rufo continues that the Illinois governor funded activists at Lurie Children’s Hospital and provided public schools with LGBTQ training materials and staff to promote gender transitions among children under the guise of medical science.
“The result is a sophisticated school-to-gender clinic pipeline: teachers, counselors, doctors, and influencers, many of whom are governed or subsidized by members of the Pritzker family – all push kids towards the science and politics of transgenderism,” Rufo says.
