The Mechanisms of TAnon: What is “TAnon”?

This is part one of a five-part series describing the TAnon phenomenon as it spreads in the United States. Parts include “What is ‘TAnon’?,” “Where it Came From,” “How the Hell We Got Here,” “Key Players and What to Watch For,” and “Strategies Moving Forward.” Each section has been separated due to length and will be accumulated into a full document for distribution at a later point.

It goes without saying that this series will be extremely upsetting to targeted marginalized groups (particularly trans + youth, women, Jews, and people of color), as well as survivors of childhood sexual abuse, sex trafficking, or fascist/white nationalist violence. In addition, one famous #Save campaign regarding the care of a trans minor is referenced in this piece. As there are multiple #Save campaigns, it is referenced once by name and then censored out of respect for the trans youth. Hate material is cited extensively. Please read with care.

On January 29th, I came across something peculiar: a public, crowd-sourced Google map tracking over 700 clinics providing gender affirming care worldwide, many for minors. Called the “Gender Offenders” map, it aimed to “[n]ame and shame the gender clinic offender.” A Twitter account appeared just two weeks later, combining screenshots of the map with graphic descriptions, aggressive rhetoric, and even identifying specific clinics.

This was alarming but not exactly surprising. After all, we had just had an armed insurrection in DC after several years of increasing extremism, hate rallies, mass shootings and church or community center arsons targeting primarily Black and Jewish communities, and, well, Trump. The past year alone saw a dramatic increase in disinformation as COVID-19 spread, sometimes paired with harassment towards clinicians, Asians, and Jews (sigh – again). And then there was the weird “save our children from the international pedo ring that doesn’t exist” thing targeting Comet Ping Pong, which subsequently got stormed by Edgar Maddison Welch armed with his trusty AR-15 on a mission to save the kids.[1]

Yet the more we researched, the more disturbing it became. This wasn’t something on the fringes, it was part of a larger network of activity and overall pattern that could easily turn violent. The overlap with the aforementioned patterns had already begun and it was bound to get worse.

Let me introduce you to TAnon. Brace yourself; it is a shitshow of a ride.

What is “TAnon”?

As you can guess from the name, TAnon can be viewed as a successor to QAnon. The Southern Poverty Law Center described QAnon as being “[p]art ‘Pizzagate,’ part New World Order, and part hyper-partisan wishful thinking by defenders of Donald Trump,” with a focus on Trump’s supposed master plan to unleash “The Storm” to root out international pedophilia rings embedded in the Deep State.[2] This of course meant that there had to be some kind of shadowy cabal at play, which meant blaming – you guessed it – Jews. You know, as usual.

TAnon follows many similar patterns as its predecessor(s), but this time it’s centered on a supposed globalist establishment targeting children in schools and in the doctor’s office to make them trans. Oh, and said globalist establishment makes a lot of money doing this. By this point I think you can already guess what group is supposed to be responsible for this.

Let’s get to the heart of what makes it tick and why it’s dangerous.

Key characteristics

Like QAnon, there are several characteristics defining TAnon that give it its power. These characteristics include: religious extremism of the Christian and Pagan varieties, connection to different wellness or “alternative health” communities and practices, overlapping hashtags and other content connected with QAnon, and the underlying foundation of antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Religious extremism, both Christian and Pagan

The United States has a penchant for religious fundamentalism, further emboldened by the First Amendment. Combined with the rights to free speech and freedom of assembly, as well as an increasingly conservative state that is quick to distract supporters from their own corruption, this makes such spheres ripe for the propagation of conspiracy theories targeting minorities. In one such example, Christian fundamentalists came out in force in the 1990s to protest abortion access and defend extremists attacking providers.[3] Sometimes those communities start to wake up to their contributions to the extremist rhetoric that leads to violence, as evidenced by prior Evangelical supporters of Trump distancing themselves from him and his campaign after the January 6th insurrection.[4] Yet in many other instances they simply dig their heels in further.

We are in the midst of the latter, this time with the target being trans people. Revealed in 2017 after Trump’s election, far-right, Christian, anti-LGBTQ+ think tanks developed a strategy for undermining trans inclusion in society by creating division within the LGBTQ+ community.[5] Targeting the LGBTQ+ community as a whole was proving to be unsuccessful, so they devised a way to go after the whole by sparking outrage in gay and lesbian circles to disconnect themselves from the trans community. The same arguments used against gay people in the 1990s against marriage and adoption became rebranded to target trans people, combined with the bonus feigned concern over “transition as gay conversion therapy/eugenics.”

An example of the convergence between QAnon and far-right, anti-LGBTQ+ activism targeting trans people is Kevin Whitt, an ex-gay, ex-trans, born-again Christian “grassroots” organizer who was fired by the Texas GOP for filming himself at the January 6th insurrection.[6][7] Whitt has also recently posted asking for “de-transitioner[s]” to testify in support of Texas state bills targeting trans youth.[8] This effort is heavily driven by MassResistance Texas, where Whitt has served as their Assistant Director.[9], [10]

Christian fundamentalism isn’t the only point of concern. Many white nationalist groups, including those that subscribe to QAnon and/or are armed, attempt to “reclaim” supposedly ancestral Pagan beliefs that are appropriated from indigenous groups, butchered, and then further distorted into their own beliefs of cultural superiority. This is particularly common for groups pulling from European heritage,[11] most famously with the roots of the American Nazi Party in 1959 and, later, the Viking Brotherhood. Other times those groups or individuals claim to be feminists, all while playing into the same mechanisms but with an added emphasis on protecting the “natural” state of biological sex.

Both of these patterns carry over into a variety of groups and key players opposing access to transgender health care, both major policy makers and grassroots organizers. Outside of the usual suspects of Family Policy Council (FPC), Heritage Foundation, and the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), we can see threads of Christian fundamentalism in grassroots efforts such as Partners for Ethical Care (PEC) and the #SaveJames campaign. Pagan fundamentalism can be found among organizers involved in Women Picket DC on March 8th and their subsequent internal network, as well as older foundations through anti-trans activists such as Ruth Barrett. Further details about these groups will be discussed later.

Connection to different wellness or “alternative health” communities and practices

A troubling area of spread of QAnon conspiracies has been through different wellness, “alternative health,” or spiritual communities. EJ Dickson from Rolling Stone followed several yoga, meditation, and other wellness influencers in their attempts to separate from QAnon taking over their community.[12] According to Jules Evans, a philosopher and research fellow at the Center for the History of the Emotions at Queen Mary, the vulnerability for this is “the underlying personality traits and ways of thinking that conspiracy theorists and those engaging in various kinds of alternative, or spiritual beliefs have in common—as well as the political, environmental, and technological contexts that breed this sort of convergence.”[13] A useful resource to learn more about this phenomenon is the Conspirituality Podcast produced by Derek Beres, Matthew Remski, and Julian Walker. It should also be noted that, while such beliefs are common in wellness spaces, they by no means define them. The wellness community can and should inoculate itself against TAnon in its early stages.

Areas where TAnon finds its way into wellness or alternative health practice include (but are not limited to):

  • Natural or Free Birth movements: As evidenced by the Free Birth Society, a self-described “global community and education platform dedicated to providing vital content for mothers and Radical Birth Keepers on the power of instinctive pregnancy, physiological birth, and wild mothering.”[14] In addition to the racism associated with this movement, one expecting mother (“Judith”) shared her story of losing her child after purchasing Free Birth Society’s videos and joining online free birth communities.[15] “Judith” talked extensively about how she “brainwashed [herself]” through these videos and communities.
  • Herbalism, doula services, and yoga: Example is “Cat” of Witch & Bitch, one of the organizers and major supporter of Women Picket DC, who advertises herself as an herbalist, doula/birth assistant, and yoga teacher.[16] It should also be noted that herbalist salves and other such products are popular among white nationalists; for instance, they are sold through Renegade Tribune, a Neo-Nazi paper which hosts anti-LGBTQ+ writings and cites Jennifer Bilek.
  • Nutrition, fitness, and supplements: The best example of this is the SUI Wellness Warriors Facebook group. Operated by Stand Up International, this group primarily consists of sharing links to different recipes, diet ideas, fitness or mental health goals, and sales for dietary supplements.
  • Anti-vaccination campaigns and rhetoric: Different groups will have different rhetoric surrounding vaccines. Groups catering to parents may attract parents that believe the debunked theory that vaccines cause autism. More recent examples include in relation to COVID-19 vaccines, such as the notion that they are “a sort of trojan horse for dna manipulation.”[17]
  • Peer-to-peer support: While not directly a wellness or alternative health practice, peer-to-peer support is heavily utilized in this sphere and gives it additional support. Whose Body Is It runs a “Liberal Feminists Anonymous” group for a one-time fee of $399 or $133 per month for three months.[18] Whose Body Is It sells access to videos from the Deprogrammer, a YouTuber creating videos and propaganda images about transhumanism, sex robots, and ritual abuse perpetrated by Orthodox Jews, and whose content has been repeatedly removed from YouTube and Instagram for hate speech.

Several individuals or groups listed above as examples are frequent sponsors, attendees, or organizers of anti-trans events. Free Birth Society and Stand Up International both sponsored the Women Picket DC event on March 8th,[19] and Whose Body Is It has interviewed the event’s organizers for their YouTube channel.

While much of this convergence occurs through offline networking, wellness practices thrives online through the likes of social media as a means of digital marketing. In the process, you may occasionally see overlapping hashtags, slogans, or content, described below.

Overlapping hashtags and other content connected with QAnon

In the course of investigating TAnon, a number of cross-over hashtags, COVID-19 denial, and Deep State material have appeared. The #Save*** campaign, championed in part by the previously mentioned Kevin Whitt, utilizes the hashtags #SaveTheChildren and #SaveOurChildren. Both hashtags have been linked to conspiracies claiming that the Democrat-controlled Deep State is responsible for the mass trafficking of children, and the movement primarily targets mothers for recruitment.[20]

#SaveOurChildren has also been utilized by Erin Brewer (a co-founder of PEC) in connection to detransition issues to promote the “Gender Offender” map,[21] as well as #WakeUpAmerica as part of their nationwide protest campaign. #WakeUpAmerica is most predominantly utilized by Trump loyalists, including in support of insurrection, and PEC’s protest tweets became sandwiched in between such calls. The protests organized by PEC follow in the wake of protests by Parents of ROGD Kids on December 28th, 2020 and LGB Fight Back on February 14th, 2021.[22][23] All three protests and Women Picket DC have had at least some overlapping attendees.

From the pagan or ”witch” side of things, Courtney Piper (also known as Courtney Rosewater or “Cat” of the previously mentioned Witch & Bitch) has used the hashtags #5D and #GreatAwakening to advertise radical feminist podcasts with Amy Sousa, another Women Picket DC organizer.

Facebook post of Courtney Rosewater streaming live with Amy Sousa, dated Jan 23, posted in a bunch of pagan or alternative health tags and two highlighted conspiracy tags. Link to full image description.

#5D on Facebook is associated with COVID-19 denial conspiracies such as the Great Reset and vaccine denial.

#GreatAwakening is censored on Facebook due to hateful content, but example content can be seen on Twitter where it connects strongly to “The Storm” and “2021 Uprising” from QAnon.

Jennifer Bilek, a frequently cited conspiracy theorist who argues that the trans medical complex is a transhumanist plot to destroy biological sex, has been shifting rightward despite her radical feminist roots. In addition to her antisemitic theorycrafting, she has tweeted about the “Deep State” and its implications for the Trump Administration since 2017, albeit from a liberal perspective.[24][25][26] Similarly, a fan of hers sent her an article about Jennifer Pritzker, which she quotes as connecting Pritzker to the “Deep State.”[27] Her work “following the money” behind trans health care has resulted in increasing fascist creep. Bilek’s work has been repeatedly cited and even copy-pasted by white nationalist publications in print and online.[28][29] Over time, Bilek began circulating such articles herself. On March 21st, she retweeted an article from Taki Magazine,[30] a far-right publication that compares trans women to the Unabomber while reviewing Abigail Shrier’s book Irreversible Damage.[31]

All of these threads weave into the same tapestry: “follow[ing] the money” bankrolling the medical transition of minors, using detransition stories and the “social contagion” of Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria as a scaremongering tactic, with the goal of highlighting the rich, progressive Jews funding transhumanist destruction of biological reality. While Brewer, Bilek, and Piper/Rosewater may not themselves be adherents to the far-right currents leading up to January 6th, their use of overlapping hashtags and content is concerning as it funnels their followers into these channels, where they become further radicalized.

Built on the foundation of antisemitic conspiracy theories (again)

In 2017, Eric K. Ward wrote for Political Research Associates about how “[a]ntisemitism forms the theoretical core of White nationalism.”[32] Ward’s essay details how white nationalist groups targeting Black, Muslim, and migrant communities rely on antisemitism to thrive, in part because it feeds into their belief that said communities are otherwise incapable of organizing for their own liberation. This strategy succeeds due to failures in leftist and anti-fascist movements to adequately address the antisemitism forming its foundation. Therefore, white nationalist groups will choose a marginalized group as a primary target to address head-on and then fold in claims of movements being funded by wealthy Jewish philanthropists through the mechanisms of Big Pharma, Big Tech, and Big Money/Banks.

It can be argued that in a recent manifestation of this strategy, the trans community is the primary target with a particular emphasis on trans women and youth, and once again under the pretense of being bank-rolled by the likes of George Soros, Jennifer Pritzker, and Jon Stryker. The funding, medical, and pharmaceutical angle is a favorite among conspiracy theorycrafters Bilek and 4thWaveNow, whereas “Big Tech” is most frequently cited across the Internet through claims of systemic censorship. The shutting down of /r/GenderCritical and related subreddits on Reddit resulted in the creation of Ovarit,[33] and Graham Lineham recently claimed in front of the British parliament’s House of Lords that over 98% of trans people work in Silicon Valley and somehow have the ability to mute Twitter accounts en masse.[34] While it should be noted that Lineham is British, he is a favorite among UK and US subscribers to “gender critical” beliefs. Periodically you also see allusions to the trans equivalent of the Great Replacement, arguing that trans women are “replacing” cis women with the help of aforementioned wealthy Jews, and blood libel as evidenced by the Deprogrammer.

Where TAnon and surrounding circumstances differ from UK variants

Readers either from or who have been following the situation in the UK may have come across the hashtag #XXAnon, which was developed by British trans people to discuss “gender critical” conspiracy theories. In this instance, TAnon and XXAnon are related but distinct phenomenon. There are several important differences people in the US should be aware of, especially when planning any sort of counter-resistance.

We have guns. A lot of guns.

Now, I’m sure it goes without saying that that’s bad. Alongside freedom of religion, speech, and assembly comes the right to bear arms, of which far-right and anti-LGBTQ+ groups and individuals have loads of. This puts LGBTQ+ people in the US and the structures built to support us at risk of violent attack. This is especially a point of concern when Bilek, originally of Deep Green Resistance, advocates extensively for militant economic and social attacks on the “infrastructure for trans.”[35] Bilek is an active advocate for the “Gender Offenders” map while distancing herself from any repercussions, a tactic known as stochastic terrorism.[36]

Though it should also be noted that firearms are not the only weapons used by extremists. Many attacks in the US involve explosives or arson, particularly when it involves targeting infrastructure. The former is used to target community members and the latter to target where we congregate or get work done. Both factors will need to be considered for a successful counter-resistance, as well as any necessary mutual aid supports in the aftermath of an attack.

The US has more direct emphasis on religious right/extremism collaboration.

The UK doesn’t have the same degree of religious extremism that the US does, especially on an institutional level. In fact, some of what they do have was exported from the US via organization branches such as ADF International, one of the legal arms that Paul Conrathe of the Bell v. Tavistock ruling is connected to and who has also represented various “pro-life” or “pro-family” cases across Europe.[37][38]

In contrast, there is increasing collaboration between “grassroots” organizers or groups and major conservative think-tanks in the US, even among radical feminists. The ADF, the organization responsible for the recent wave of anti-trans bills, has funded Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF) in the past.[39][40] Heritage Foundation and Eagle Forum frequently host panels with organizers, including members of WoLF and PEC.[41][42][43] And in 2019, Minnesota Family Council, a regional group associated with the ADF and Focus on the Family, released a guide with the support of the Heritage Foundation, Parents of ROGD Kids, and WoLF (among others).[44] None of this bodes well when QAnon adherents like Marjorie Taylor Greene can make their way into the House of Representatives and uplift “gender critical” talking points in the process.[45] And this isn’t even going into the issue of violent religious fundamentalism, the concerns of which are laid out in the next section.

The use of extreme anti-abortion tactics to target informed consent clinics, particularly Planned Parenthood.

Several of the aforementioned groups or individuals, including PEC and the “Gender Offenders” map as operated by Alix Aharon, have been utilizing anti-abortion tactics with a particular focus on Planned Parenthood. Both PEC and Aharon’s Transgender Abuse project have sections specifically on the funding of Planned Parenthood. Protests organized outside of clinics providing care for trans youth utilize much of the same tactics, complete with alarmist signs with both slogans and surgery photos.[46] In addition, the “Gender Offenders” Facebook page has attracted comments about how “[Planned Parenthood] has a new Big Pharma Bucks cash-cow” since abortion and adrenochrome is “drying up.”

Facebook post from the Gender Mapper page showing three partially censored “testimonies” and a conspiracy comment in response. Link to full image description.

The “Gender Offenders” map has also been noted by community members to follow a similar pattern to the Army of God and Summer of Life.[47][48] The Army of God is a Christian domestic terrorist group famous for their manual that serves as a roadmap for committing acts of violence (despite saying that “[it’s] not to be construed as sanctioning any group or individual to perform any action”) and for targeting abortion clinics as well as a lesbian bar in Atlanta.[49] Summer of Life was a multi-state, anti-abortion campaign organized by Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee, Family Research Council Action, Students for Life of America, and the Susan B. Anthony List, some of whom have collaborated with or who are signatories in key testimonies alongside PEC and affiliated groups.[50][51]

Context matters.

We cannot separate the mechanisms behind the current fight against trans liberation from the rise of the Trump administration, what powers enabled said rise in the first place, and the explosion of QAnon conspiracies actively enabled by Trump while he was in office via social media and press appearances. As organizers involved with both have already been identified, it’s critical to maintain a focus on this. This is especially the case when we consider violent hate groups that have already been implicated in both, such as the Proud Boys.[52]

QAnon is beginning to fizzle out but its influences remain and will continue to ripple into organized transphobia. QAnon emerged from Pizzagate and the attack on Comet Ping Pong, adapting itself to online hate platforms circulating rebranded propaganda and adding new connections to the Trump administration. Now we see the same pattern repeating itself, with a new target and a particular emphasis on attacking legislature. In some ways, both the Left and the Right have been emboldened with Trump’s loss; transphobic organizers in the Left feel safer in their protests while also taking issue with President Biden’s support for trans people, whereas the Right loathes their loss and finds themselves escalating their latest anti-LGBTQ+ campaign.

Coming next is Part II: “Where it Came From,” a comprehensive timeline tracing the historical origins of connected conspiracies and how they have merged into the larger phenomenon.
