Beware of Queerintelpro: A Public Service Announcement from Your Friendly Neighborhood Gender Extremist

 My people are freaking the fuck out right now. I deal with it every day. Just being transgender in a conservative rural community alone can feel like a fulltime job. Being actively trans, organizing Queer resistance in a place with two fag-bashing churches for every honkytonk bar, can feel like a tour of duty without an exit strategy, especially in an age of epic collapse when every normie seems to be jonesing for a convenient scapegoat and every gangster in Washington needs a distraction from the latest bed he shit.

I cope with this along with my own palette load of trauma by organizing. I volunteer at non-profits, I facilitate youth groups, I help out at my found family's homestead, I weather death threats and carry three knives in my purse... I do whatever I can to keep busy between therapy sessions and blog posts, in part because the trans people I work with who don't get busy tend to get terrified and they're not being irrational.

The GOP has declared war against trans people in this country in nearly every manner conceivable. For five straight years these police state bulls have broken the last year's record for the sheer volume of bloated, big government, anti-trans legislation they've pushed forward. Sadly, 2025 is looking likely to break the record again with 998 bills proposed and 129 passed across 49 states in the first half of the year alone. These laws police every aspect of trans existence from school bathroom access to private healthcare decisions and the latest Trump administration is cranking up the heat with one executive order after another. 

The first, passed just days after that orange child molester crept back into the Oval Office, set the tone by proclaiming that transgender people simply do not exist and that the federal government officially rejects our existence by declaring there to be only two immutable gender identities defined exclusively by government documents taken at birth, a position flatly rejected by every major medical and scientific body on the planet.

This is what radical trans activists like me are talking about when we talk about transgender genocide; a concerted effort by various wings of the power elite to erase us from public life and force the youngest generation of gender outlaws back into the closet they escaped from no matter how many suicides that results in, all while empowering the strong arm of the state to dictate everyone's biological integrity in the process.

And this is why radical trans activism is absolutely existential to individual liberty, especially in rural areas where the GOP's influence over popular opinion is tragically damn near universal. However, with Trump's numbers slipping in nearly every poll available and that lecherous cretin's standing with his own base on extremely shaky ground over his desperate attempts to cover up his toxic bromance with Jeffrey Epstein, the President is attempting to shift focus by leveling every last federal rifle scope at his disposal on radical trans activists like me.

Trump is doing this with a national security directive known as National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 or NSPM-7 which identifies a disturbingly broad laundry list of rudimentary viewpoints as investigable indicators of "radical left violence." Such symptoms of terroristic ideation include "anti-Christianity", "extremism on gender" and "hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion or morality." The directive's solution to these threats is best explained in no uncertain terms by the document itself. 

"The United States requires a national strategy to investigate and disrupt networks, entities and organizations that foment political violence so that law enforcement can intervene in criminal conspiracies before they result in violent political acts."

The key jargon here is the call to "disrupt" individuals or groups "that foment(s) political violence... before they result in violent political acts." What this newspeak essentially amounts to is the Executive Branch commanding the Federal Government to surveil and sabotage speech and ideas that they believe to be capable of influencing crimes before they even occur and using a strategy of disruption to do so and what this essentially amounts to is East Berlin-style Stalinism in a bright red ballcap. 

All this sickeningly Orwellian horseshit is only compounded further by the fact that all of it comes on the heels of the Department of Justice's open calls to consider stripping anyone diagnosed with gender dysphoria of their Second Amendment rights by including us in their 'Red Flag Laws' along with the all-powerful Heritage Foundation's memo to the FBI calling on the feds to essentially label all transgender activism as "Trans Ideology Inspired Violent Extremism."

As I said above, this is all shit well-worth freaking the fuck out about, but I also have a feeling that might be precisely the point. The Trump Administration tried like hell to turn the assassination of Charlie Kirk into some kind of 9/11 moment that would rally wayward deplorables around a MAGA brand increasingly tainted by the Donald's own historical sexual predations and his utterly shameless support for Benjamin Netanyahu's attempts to declare war on pretty much the entire Middle East.

The result was actually pretty fucking funny if you have a deranged enough sense of humor. So many Trumpers blamed Bibi himself for the assassination of one of his own lobbyists that the Israeli Prime Minister felt compelled to release a video in which he basically begged a bunch of social media trolls to believe him when he promised for two minutes straight that he wasn't on the Grassy Knoll. 

As crazy as all this sounds and is, it was only made possible by the fact that MAGA's attempts to connect the Charlie Kirk assassination to some bizarre cabal of transgender furies proved to be even more batshit than anything the Groypers could conjure up.

So, now Donald Trump is openly publishing what would typically be a classified national security directive announcing his intention to infiltrate and destroy a movement he can't seem to convince his already virulently transphobic base to crucify in the name of American greatness. This feels like a trap (pun welcomed but not intended) and it wouldn't be the first time in history that the feds tried to neutralize a radical political movement through provocation and trickery.

This was the entire basis for Cointelpro; J. Edgar Hoover's Cold War conspiracy to infiltrate, disrupt and discredit the "subversives" of the Civil Rights and Antiwar movements. The variety of tactics used to do so were vast but frequently violent and often involved sending snitches into these organizations to encourage and sometimes just outright commit acts of violence against political rivals or even their handlers' own foot soldiers.

A classic example of this septic skullduggery is the case of the Panther 21; a joint FBI/NYPD sting operation against the New York chapter of the Black Panther Party, charging 21 radicals of conspiring to launch a massive spree of terrorist attacks against local police infrastructure. The only problem was that the entire conspiracy was largely the invention of a network of police infiltrators and once this boondoggle was exposed, the case collapsed into a humiliating money pit that proved to be the most expensive criminal prosecution in Gotham history while only seeing a single solitary Panther do any real time.

This didn't end with Cointelpro either. During the War on Terror, guerrilla catfishing basically became a cottage industry that kept the lights on at Quantico and those fuckers honed the con job down to a science. First you find several heavy breathers talking shit on some dark web chatroom, then you egg them on to take things to the next level, provide them with the kind of logistics and firepower they could never possibly assemble on their own and nail them in some highly publicized law enforcement production before J. Edna's Heroes very publicly pat themselves on the back for being real-life action heroes and ask for another deficit tripling raise so they can spend even more of your tax dollars entrapping glorified jihad larpers on 4chan.

The feds do this all the time to pissed-off Muslim kids but they've also done it with militia types like those Boogaloo wannabes who needed a dozen informants just to put together a hairbrained scheme to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and now Trump wants to play this game with "Transtifa" because it's the only way to make us desperate enough to fire first and scare people off his trail of raped teenage girls and dead Arab babies. 

Call it Queerintelpro, put it on a bumper sticker and fix me another White Russian because I was born too old for this shit in the wrong goddamn gender.

My advice as a genderfuck anarchist with a serious hyperfocus on the nastier shards of American history is that Queer people need to stay vigilant, we need to prepare ourselves to defend our people by any means necessary, but we must not react. The strongest defense that we as a community against this kind of insidious government infiltration is actually our communities themselves; intimate, tightknit tribes designed to replace the families many of us have been thrown out of. We need to strengthen these bonds now more than ever because no fed can fake that kind of love.

Stay in touch, check in with your people, and keep an eye out for any loudmouth newbie trying to rile them up. If anyone offers to sell you a palette full of MP5s that mysteriously lost their serial numbers, forget their fucking phone number and tell everyone you know to watch out for them. Do everything you can above board and when you can't only let those closest to you in on it. Basically, don't be a fucking outlaw just to score points. It's not worth it.

Perhaps more than anything though, Queer people need to confront this threat as something far bigger than just a Queer issue. This needs to be addressed first and foremost as a police state issue and confronted wherever it rears its ugly head. 

This means trannies teaching undocumented workers about stealth, militia bros teaching Muslims about open carry, Panthers teaching Antifa how to spot a crowd exciter, and all of us calling out the feds for their fascism regardless of who they happen to be using it against this week because if they can use it against any of us they can use it against all of us.

Washington is to Blame for Its Own Culture of Political Violence

 This isn't just Deja vu. We have quite literally been here before, in fact, we've been here so many times that you can practically set your watch to the proceeding order of events. We start with a tragedy, some pissed-off lonely kid puts down his smartphone and picks up a gun, somebody gets shot, sometimes a politician, sometimes some other species of media personality, but usually it ends up just being a room full of other lonely kids with smartphones. 

After a lot of frantic finger pointing by the media personalities left standing, it usually becomes clear that the shooter wasn't actually directly concerned with any of their silly partisan squabbles and this is when everyone with a camera and a microphone falls back on one of the default boogeymen they like to project on the blank canvas of young ghosts.

The left, or what passes for it these days at least, usually goes with a far from unfounded but woefully oversimplified take on guns and suggests that America is somehow just one police state provision away from controlling an ocean of semi-automatic firepower the size of the Atlantic Ocean. 

The right, or what passes for it these days at least, typically does one worse and trots out whatever monster-of-the-week they happen to be crucifying at the moment; border hoppers, crypto-gender benders, the overly or underly medicated neurodivergent... Some convenient category of 'other' to distract from the fact that the killers are usually basically their own sons, cis het white dudes unsatisfied with the privileges of their post-colonial caste ranking.

And then of course, the sainted centrist calls for calm, for all of these scapegoating players in America's increasingly unhinged political circus to just come together in Babylonian brotherhood and sing us all back to sleep with another harmonic chorus of bipartisan kumbaya. 

Somehow, the centrist always seems to piss me off the most.

While it is painfully obvious to anyone with half a brain still attached to a functioning conscience that both sides of this country's manufactured tribal divide are exploiting these tragedies just to score points and rile up their captive constituencies, the notion that the solution to American nihilism is bringing all these jackals together for another war-on-something is even worse. It's worse because Washington isn't the panacea painted so stoically by the centrist. Washington is the real fucking problem here and somebody needs to say it.

While Republicans and Democrats warble hysterically over a growing trend in overtly politically motivated acts of violence, the actual statistics present a slightly different portrait. The Cato Institute puts the number of people murdered in politically motivated terrorist attacks in the US at 3,597 since 1975 but only 79 of these killings have occurred since 2020. Meanwhile, the Rockefeller Institute puts the number of people killed in any form of mass public shooting at 1,723 since 1966. 

Yet strangely, both of those categories of headline dominating slaughter only include acts of violence committed by civilians. They do not include the inherently political violence committed by government operatives such as police officers who have murdered more than a thousand people every year since 2020 with a total of more than 6,000 bodies in just under five years. In fact, 2024 marks the deadliest year on record for police violence with at least 1,365 killed in twelve months.

The various institutes and think tanks of this nation's ivory tower class also consistently overlook the violence perpetrated by the very people preaching to us about the virtues of red flags and gun control from their premium podcasts and cable news pulpits. Charlie Kirk was shot in the throat amidst a highly publicized but rarely questioned murder spree launched by the man he routinely endorsed to play the role of America's Ceasar. Donald Trump washed his own moneychanger's blood from his pussy-grabbers and cursed the numerous demographics he blamed for the mess right in the middle of the launch of a series of snuff films taken by the US Military over undisclosed sections of the Caribbean Ocean.

Over a period of a few weeks, Donald Trump had at least 17 people murdered extrajudicially in three separate airstrikes on three separate civilian boats before proudly displaying the footage of his war crimes on social media like a teenage mosque shooter. The people killed are accused without evidence of trafficking narcotics, an offense that wouldn't even garner a life sentence in any court of law in the Western Hemisphere, let alone a death sentence. All of this slaughter is part of an open attempt to affect regime change in the nation of Venezuela, whose current president, Nicholas Maduro, has a $50 million dollar bounty placed on his head by an administration that expects us all to forfeit even more of our civil rights to prevent future assassinations of assholes who aren't on their hit list.

And the centrists want us to be calm... Well, let me just gently reassure the centrists that I am completely calm when I politely suggest that you go fuck yourself with the sharp end of your own goddamn hypocrisy.

Once again, your average active shooter is a pissed-off lonely kid who feels powerless and totally unseen in a dystopian house of digital mirrors. Who is more seen and who has more power than the President of the United States of America? And how does this man solve his problems? With drone strikes and tomahawk missiles and genocide and mass deportation... With murder. With 'political' violence. And where is the centrist amidst all this carnage? Why, he's voting for the latest billion-dollar defense bill and calling for calm from those who he hasn't personally sanctioned to be mass shooters.

In our current era of blood and debt, we don't need calm and we sure as shit don't need unity, at least not of the bipartisan variety. Anger is actually a perfectly appropriate response to being governed by dueling parties of thieves and killers, but we need to direct this anger where it belongs, against the state without preference to pointless partisan divisions, and we need to carefully temper this anger, so we are not merely feeding into the state's game of highly publicized tension and paranoia.

The truth is, our nation's centrists don't really care about political violence; they're just pissed off that private citizens want to home in on their action, and for once, I agree with them. We can do better. You are never going to smash the state by fighting it like a state. In the best-case scenario, you merely replace them and become precisely what you hate. The most common scenario however ends with a bunch of good radicals dead or in prison while the state scores points with the normies over the ashes of another Reichstag Fire.

The reality is that Washington and its corporate media apparatus are existentially toxic. Engaging these institutions in any way, including in combat, will simply result in the further spread of this toxicity. With that being said, we should all take heart in the fact that an empire built on a toxic waste dump is fundamentally unsustainable. The rot will inevitably spread to the brain. The leviathan will die from the cancer that defines its existence. The professionally politically violent will lash out against each other without anyone left but other goats to scape. The Donald Trumps and James Comeys of this toxic nation will take turns throwing each other in and out of prison and rent different genres of hooligan to storm their increasingly impoverished capitol until China comes to repossess it.

The radicals: the pissed and the lonely, the border hoppers and deplorables and unmedicated gender benders need to drop out, cease and desist, detox... Remove yourself from the toxic waste, find some other lonely misfits, and use your totally justified disgust with this deeply sick society to fuel yourselves into building something better that doesn't require its vulture-like attention to exist. Build a commune. Build a farm. Build a fire and dance around it naked. Stop voting. Stop watching the news. Turn off that funhouse mirror you keep in your pocket. And for Cthulhu's sake, stop killing other poor people. The state doesn't need your help with that chore so stop adding to their towering mound of bodies. 

In other words, own your anger and let the centrists starve without your attention. This world is too sacred to waste on something as empty as politics. Choose anarchy instead.
