“Radically pro-transgender.”
That phrase now appears in official U.S. counterterrorism doctrine.
I combed through the 2026 National Defense Strategy, related counterterrorism policies, human-rights reports, and historical research on authoritarianism and democratic collapse.
The result is a deeply sourced investigation into:
• how national-security language is changing
• why experts warn civil liberties are at risk
• how transgender Americans are being reframed as security threats despite being disproportionately victimized by violence
• why scholars of authoritarianism say these patterns matter
History rarely repeats exactly. But it often rhymes through language first.
