The more I think about it, the more I think the best parallel ideology to transgenderism is scientology. One of them is a wacky and wildly individualist spiritual belief system about how all your problems have to do with how your soul was forcibly placed in the wrong body. And you can only solve those problems by forking over money to a weird priesthood masquerading as intellectuals and health experts, who will help align your body with the vaguely defined and unfalsifiable spirit at its core. All justified with a mid 20th century coat of psuedoscientific paint. The main architect of which was a pedophile. Which later went on to infiltrate the government, academia, and the entertainment industry (especially Hollywood) where it morphed into a weird cross between a sex cult and a pyramid scheme. And even though most people know it is bullshit, its followers are so tenacious, and it's church so well funded, and their abuse of the legal system so well refined that people are simply too intimidated to stand up to them. And people who do dare to defect are mercilessly hounded and intimidated into silence for daring to expose the cults inner workings to the general public.
And the other one is a group of weirdos who worship an alien called Xenu or something.

4. if a minimum of two witnesses elicit guilt or you confess voluntarily, we will decide whether your support of JKR constitutes a "serious sin"
5. if it is established that a serious sin was committed, we will elect a judicial committee of three or more elders will investigate your extent of supporting JKR further. you are allowed to bring witnesses to speak in your defense
6. we will try to reach your heart so you will be able to disavow your support of JKR and repent
7. in the process of repentance, you will be excluded from certain activities, such as speaking up in meetings, commenting on our subreddits, or lead us in prayer
8. If you fail to show true repentance for your transgressions, we will have to disfellowship you and you will subsequently be shunned. this includes permanent exclusion and terminating all contact with friends that are still part of the congregation
9. Knowing of another person's support of JKR and not telling the elders is sharing the sin in your heart and will be punished accordingly

I’d replace “patriarchy” with “transphobes” (since that doesn’t need context) but this is basically what talking to a TERF is like.
If you want the joke ruined for you, here’s the context:
Self-labeled TERFs/”gender critical” people are just right-wingers who gets along with people who they’re supposed to be fighting against just as long as they’re transphobic.
For example:
Matt Walsh believes that all females (I’m using the term in a biological sense) should be barefooted, stuck in the kitchen, constantly pregnant, and sixteen. (Basically what the patriarchy is.) JK Rowling, despite claiming to be a “feminist,” has a friendly conversation with him over their shared hatred for trans people.

Historically, the only thing to defeat fascism is communism.
Your point being that we should either simp for Hitler or for Stalin?
Or being the fact that we should either way simp for a totalitarian cult and bow our head to whatever the party says? And that the ideology we follow is never wrong?
That’s why I’ll absolutely criticise, along with Nazism, other cultist regimes based on idiotic obedience and presentation of leading figures for gods. I’m against cult mentality as a whole, not for swapping one cult for the other.
So yeah, I can absolutely criticise fascism and communism and the American Republican Party and gender ideology and every movement based on blind obedience and idealisation of whatever it represents.

The far-right “ReAwaken America” gathering in Manheim, Pennsylvania, this weekend wasn’t your typical pro-Trump rally.
It was a whole different level of crazy.
The QAnon-peppered programming frequently flew off the rails Saturday, as speakers took severe issue with everything from McDonald’s being part of the “deep state” to “demonic satellites” controlling the voting system in the United States.
The day’s activities kicked off with a prayer asking for Trump’s eyes to be opened so he could be shown when to “implement divine intervention.”
“You will surround him, Father, with none of this deep-state trash, none of this RINO trash,” the speaker—who led the prayer—yelled as attendees thrust their hands into the air.
Other speakers included Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano, and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, though the crowd favorite appeared to be organizer Clay Clark, who frequently took to the microphone to accuse McDonald’s of being part of the “deep state” and ask about Michelle Obama’s gender.
“What gender is Michelle Obama?” Clark asked. The crowd overwhelmingly yelled back: “Male.”
Then, without missing a beat, Clark began claiming there was a “war on food” and alleged a shady left-wing entity was pushing for the feeding of “insect burgers” to the masses.
Clark didn’t stop there. Elsewhere, the organizer—whose gathering once triggered an anthrax scare—called people that wear masks on planes “jackass-er-y.”
Fresh off of a video emerging of Stone calling Ivanka Trump an “abortionist bitch daughter,” the longtime informal Trump adviser attempted to flip the script, claiming videos showing him encouraging violence were actually part of “continued harassment” against him.
“I am guilty of the crime of supporting President Donald Trump,” he said. “Loving him for 40 years.”
Right-wing doctor Stella Immanuel, best known for her belief in demon sperm, urged attendees to pray that both satellites and voting machines be destroyed.
“We need to pray and crush… the demonic satellites. We need to send a holy ghost virus into their computers, to destroy them, so they will not function, or until our election is over,” she said, to the crowd’s applause.
Earlier on Friday afternoon, Eric Trump—a longtime staple at fringe anti-vaccine confabs—took to the stage and phoned up his father to address the QAnon-friendly conference.
“We love you all,” said the ex-president, who was at times muted by Eric Trump’s phone not being close enough to the microphone. “And we’ll be back doing things that… We’re going to bring this country back because our country’s never been in such bad shape as it is now.”
Eric added that he advised his father—who has been subpoenaed to appear before the Jan 6. Committee—to testify due to it being “the greatest entertainment.”
“Who wants to pop a beer, make some popcorn, and watch Donald Trump talk about election fraud in the United States of America,” he continued.
But perhaps the craziest message of the weekend thus far was from Julie Green, a self-identifying prophet, who told the crowd she had a message directly from God.
“Says God, you can’t stop my son, who is the rightful President,” Green said on Friday evening. “He is on his way back, and how he takes his position back on center stage, you will never see that coming because you won’t see me coming. And I am with him.”
