to add to this thought, i don't think it'd be unreasonable to consider trans ideology the "back door" that Zis used to get to these people in his "cult". in my personal experiences -- and i'm sure the same for many other BarPod listeners -- people drawn to trans ideology are already sort of down-on-their-luck types. low self esteem, unstable home lives, perhaps chronically depressed, that sort of thing. you see it with the person Ziz convinced to commit suicide.
and i think the trans status, and influence of trans ideology, in these peoples lives is a very important part of the story.
as someone familiar with trans communities my first thought upon hearing the brief explanation of rationalists was, “wait, how can someone be a rationalist and justify their own trans identity?”
not at all surprised by the split-brain nonsense at the center of this cult. that is literally what this new wave of trans people (read: not old-school transsexuals) believes: that their brain is separate from their body and the reality between their ears is the only one that matters.
what the whole setup REALLY reminded me of was scientology — but scientology if LRH had a girldick.
