Woke Trans Rights Activists (TRA) always use the same tactics.

Here, Dianna Anderson smears Helena ( @lacroicsz) as anti-semitic for pointig out TRA'S have corporate sponsorships (see pics)

Let's unpack this tactic so you can see how the lie works and fight back

So this particular lie by @diannaeanderson works by a rhetorical sleight of hand. I'll explain how it works, but first we need some background information on what was said so you can see how Dianna is going to try and cover up and hide the dishonesty.

Helena is a detransitioner.

She was trans as a teenager and was even on hormones to become a boy. But she figured things out and when wen back to being a girl. Now she fights against TRA propaganda.

It's a beautiful story: https://twitter.com/lacroicsz/status/1370393813215236101?s=19

Because she went through being trans Helena ( @lacroicsz) has *credibility* on these issues, particularly with young women being swept up in gender ideology.

Her combination of credibility and experience makes her very effective. It also puts a massive target on her back...
5/
That's why @diannaeanderson (who blocked me when she realized I'm calling out her lies) attacks Helena.
Dianna can't beat Helena's arguments. So she attacks Helena's charachter by insinuating Helena is an anti-Semite.

That's the background, now let's unpack Dianna's lies
6/
The lie is that Helena used an antisemitic conspiracy theory.

The conspiracy theory Dianna is talking about is a theory spouted by white supremacists which says the worlds governments and financial institutions are run by a "Jewish Cabal."

Helena *never* said this.
7/
In fact, Helena never said anything even close to that.

In fact, Helena never even mentioned Jewish people at all.

You see, what Dianna is going to do is twist Helena's words to try and make it look like she said something she didn't...
8/
What actually happened is that Helena pointed out (correctly) that TRA's pretend to be underdog activists "fighting the system" when in fact there is a large amount of both public and private sponsorship money funding a great deal of the TRA's activism https://twitter.com/lacroicsz/status/1380969811962908675?s=20

Dianna twists what Helena said and pretends that saying

1. TRA's get sponsored by Governments, philanthropists, and corporations.

Is the same thing as saying that

2. All the banks and the government are controlled by a Cabal of Jews.

This is obviously not true...
10/
Those two claims are totally different.
The first claim says a Jewish cabal controls the government and the worlds financial system.

The second claim is that the TRA's get lots of private and public funding.

These two claims are completely unrelated.
11/
Dianna pretends that since both of those claims mention the government and financial institutions they're the same claim.

That's like saying if a car and a tomato are both red they're the same thing, that the Christianity and Islam both mention God so they're same religion
12/
That 2 claims mentioning the same topic does not make them the same.

The second thing Dianna does is to find an anti-Semite that disagrees with Gender ideology and then say anyone who disagrees with gender ideology is agreeing with anti-Semites.

This is guilt by association
13/
Woke TRA's will use even the most trivial similarity of any kind between what anyone who is not woke says and something a White Supremacist says as a pretense to imply guilt by association and smear everyone who is not woke as a white supremacist.

They do this all the time.
14/
TRA's (and woke people generally) will use literally anything they can find as an excuse to try and dismiss you by linking you to white supremacy. Even if that means (as I showed) claiming the milk emoji is racist.

Do not be fooled by this, and do not back down.
