https://4thwavenow.com/.../the-open-society-foundations-the-transgender-movement/ community of parents & others concerned about the medicalization of gender-atypical youth and rapid-onset gender dysphoria (ROGD)  The movement has accomplished in a few years what the movements for women’s and for gay and lesbian rights took many decades to achieve.  This blogpost focuses on the Open Society Foundations (OSF), funded by Soros.

OSF fully supports the objectives of transgender activists. Self-identification is “an essential legal right for trans people” (OSF 2014a). In other words, biological sex must be superseded by subjective gender identity, to include options “outside the binary categories of male and female” (OSF 2014b). Identity should not be “governed by age restrictions” (OSF 2014b). Therefore OSF funds “trans-led or LGBT organizations that promote progressive, rights-based processes for legal gender recognition” (OSF 2014a). It also advocates access to “hormonal therapy, counseling, and gender-affirming surgeries” on demand (OSF 2014a). This includes puberty blockers for youth (OSF 2013).

How much has OSF spent to promote the transgender movement? In 2011–13, it spent $3.19 million, which made it the top funder, followed by Stryker’s Arcus Foundation and Pritzker’s Tawani Foundation (Funders for LBTQ Issues 2015). OSF’s current database includes grants worth $3.07 million for 2016–17 (searching for keywords “trans” and “transgender”). The largest recipients in this current tranche are the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association ($642,000), Global Action for Trans Equality ($500,000), and Transgender Europe ($500,000).

Three million dollars on trans issues is a tiny fraction of OSF’s total expenditure, merely 0.3% (OSF 2017). Crucially, however, this funding greatly exceeds the resources given to alternative voices.

Part of the explanation is the amount of money behind transgenderism. The Gender Industrial Complex, as we may call it, has many components.

The top giver to U.S. trans communities between 2015 and 2016 was the Arcus Foundation, a long-term backer of LGBTQ causes

Arcus teamed up with the NoVo Foundation (NoVo) to launch the Global Trans Initiative. Among many examples are NoVo’s backing of the National LGBTQ Task Force, the Transgender Law Center and FRIDA, the Young Feminist Fund.

Alexander Lee, head of GUTC, previously founded the Transgender, Gender Variant and Intersex Justice Project (TGIJP) with support from OSF, to provide legal advocacy for inmates with these identities who experience abuse while incarcerated.





 GUTC aims generally to increase trans funding, “elevate” dialogue, and “support, increase and diversify” the cohort of trans people in philanthropy.  The GUTC working group is made up of team members from Soros OSF, Borealis Philanthropy, the Wellspring Philanthropic Fund, Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice, Tov Adama Foundation, International Trans Fund, Groundswell Fund, Arcus Foundation, Trans Justice Funding Project, Third Wave Fund, California Endowment, Jim Collins Foundation and Pride Foundation.
