      "I'm not against [vaccines/trans people], I just have legitimate safety concerns." "I'm worried that they might spread it to other people." "Anything less than 100% effectiveness is an unacceptable risk."

      "but what about teh autisms!?" There's a slight difference there in that the conspiracy theories run in different directions. "Vaccines cause autism" and "autistic children are recruited into transness". Both are heavily anti-autistic, though.

      Also heavily anti-trans, as I’m learning.

      I'd be interested to see a venn diagram of conspiracy theories that identifies how they all overlap.

      I'm learning that there is significant overlap between the "gender critical" crowd and antivaxxers. It's nowhere near a circle, but it's large enough to be disturbing to me.

      More disturbing to me are the number of self-identified movement skeptics who are "gender critical" and rant about "gender ideology." Some are people whom I used to admire.

      I think some of these people could really do with reading more work by disabled people.

      Some of these "gender critical" movement skeptics even parrot conspiracy theory nonsense without apparently realizing that it's a conspiracy theory. One I know was even ranting about "cancel culture" and how you can't say the things he says without being called a transphobe.

      "we can't say these things" say people parroting points that are made in more than 1 newspaper article *per day* (and that's just one paper)

      True. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that those who complain the loudest about being "silenced" are rather often people with the biggest megaphones.
