Right, and in the trans rights debate it seems to often be deployed as either a conspiracy theory or as a way of marking relatively mainstream ideas like the sex/gender distinction as something radical.

Oh, I *definitely* saw elements of a conspiracy theory in Shrier's narrative. I saw them immediately, just as soon as I started looking into Shrier's book and reading it after Dr. Hall's review. I also saw a number of parallels with the antivaccine movement.

Except that the term is neither neutral nor accurate.
