Transgenderism: Rent Seeking

The first part of the article reveals the origins of genderism as a variety of social constructivism. It is shown that the ideology of transgenderism occupies a very important place in it. Under the slogan of the struggle against the oppression of the minority and the propaganda of anti-scientific views, it turns this minority into a caste of the elect, imputing to society its vision of the world. In the second part of the article, transgenderism is described in economic terms as a rent seeking. It is considered as a struggle for privileges and their implementations, including their monetization. In the final third part of the article, the foundations of the gender revolution are reviewed. The rapid growth of the share of transgender people in the last decade is largely due to the rent seeking, and not the change in human nature. Also rent seeking determines business behavior, extracting rents from this growth. However, ideological grounds are still primary. They are treated in the article as transformed revolutionary ideals of the 20th century, aimed at the mobilization of the “new oppressed” as the instrument of the rule of law destruction.
