All are O.K. at the Transgender Corral

Trans Corralling is Marketing Magic

Transgender is a purposefully obfuscating corralling term for a disparate set of unrelated symptoms for unrelated groups. A corralling term is a broad, ambiguous label that gathers together a wide array of unrelated symptoms, identities, experiences, or conditions. Transgender is an incohate term that the dictionary defines as “a person whose gender identity does not correspond with their sex assigned at birth“ but in practicality simply means, “I am who I say I am.” As a self-declarative category, it is objectively unfalsifiable. Because it is unfalsifiable, it is compatible with every possible personal scenario. It is deliberately vague so it can be applied broadly. There is no way to qualify who is or isn’t “trans.” It is so utterly malleable and subjective that it can be molded into any individual’s personal fantasy. And we can’t have a rational debate about personal fantasies. And these personal fantasies, invested with strong emotions like sexual desire, emotional trauma, and security seeking, are ripe to be targeted for manipulation.

The purpose of corralling terms are simple: When a category is vague, like transgender, it becomes elastic — easy to stretch to include millions more people. And the larger category = a larger market. Predatory capitalism thrives on this elasticity.

Transgender is a purposefully obfuscating corralling term for a desperate set of unrelated symptoms for unrelated groups. A corralling term is a broad, ambiguous label that gathers together a wide array of unrelated symptoms, identities, experiences, or conditions.

In every era, industries have discovered that the most profitable markets are not created from clear, well-defined problems, but from broad, elastic categories that sweep diverse experiences into a single bucket. These buckets—what we might call corralling terms—are deliberately constructed labels wide enough to hold millions of people, yet vague enough to avoid meaningful scrutiny. They flatten differences, blur reality, and generate huge captive audiences.

While they often appear scientific, progressive, or helpful, corralling terms function as the perfect tool for unscrupulous or predatory capitalism. Once a broad population is gathered under a single conceptual umbrella, they can be targeted, branded, managed, and—most importantly—sold to.

We only need to consider the diverse and unrelated groups who find solace in this term to see this elasticity and corralling at work. The straight middle-aged man who gets off on exhibiting himself as hypersexualized and hyperfeminized has nothing in common with the teen girl who suffered early childhood sexual trauma and wants to cut off her breasts to avoid being sexually objectified and hide herself behind a mask of masculinization.

Neither of these two have anything in common with the young effeminate gay boy suffering internalized homophobia who, believing he will never fit into the “man box,” chooses to block his puberty because he thinks attempting to be a girl is better than being the wrong kind of man.

In turn, none of these have anything in common with the young male incels who see transmaxxing as a way to become the girl they can’t get and are so porn saturated in sissy hypno porn that they get off on a submission fetish of presenting themselves to dominant men.

All of these have nothing in common with the young autistic kids who process so literally that they make a logical error of pattern recognition and are manipulated into thinking their cultural nonconformity means that because they prefer the expressions and behaviors of the pattern prescribed to one sex, they conclude they must be that sex.

Corralling terms make it easier for industries to:

• Create a large “target market” — A vague diagnosis = more people qualify for treatment.

• Sell products to a broad population — Pharmaceuticals, supplements, therapies, devices.

• Justify new interventions — If the problem is broad enough, the solution can be sold broadly too.

• Position themselves as “experts” — To define the problem, they also define the cure.

Transgender is the manufacture of a mass market where none existed

Corralling terms do not arise accidentally; they arise where pressure meets opportunity. Consider that the previous terms of transvestite and transexual were terms that almost only applied to adult men. It would have been impossible for the public to have accepted these terms as applying to their children. But the more elastic label of “transgender” inflates the number of “affected” people—and therefore the number of buyers.

Trends in LGBTQIA+ identification (Gallup, 2024/2025 data):

• By Generation (2024):

  • Silent Generation (1945 or earlier): 1.8%.

  • Baby Boomers (1946-1964): 3.0%.

  • Gen X (1965-1980): 5.1%.

  • Millennials (1981-1996): 14.2%.

  • Gen Z (1997-2006): 23.1%.

Key Trends: The percentage of Americans identifying as LGBTQ+ has doubled in the last decade, with significant jumps seen in younger demographics.

The Hallmarks of Corralling-Term Marketing (How to Spot the Tactics)

Here’s a clear, structured explanation of how broad umbrella groups + corralling terms expose unscrupulous or predatory capitalist tactics — and the specific hallmarks you can use to spot them every time.

This avoids medical or legal advice and focuses on critical-thinking, media literacy, and pattern recognition.

If you want to recognize predatory systems, look for these 7 signs:

1. The term is so vague it could describe almost anyone. If you can read a list of symptoms and think “that’s me sometimes,” the category has been intentionally inflated.

2. The term is emotionally resonant but scientifically thin. Words like “dysphoria” or “incongruence” feel meaningful without explaining anything.

3. The definition keeps growing. When a label starts small and then balloons (ex., non-binary, neo-pronouns), it’s being cultivated.

4. The problem and the solution appear together. If the advertisement diagnoses you and cures you in the same breath, the “problem” was constructed for commercial purposes.

5. The solution claims to fix many unrelated issues. Universal cures rarely exist. Universal marketing often does.

6. Authority bypassing. Testimonials, anecdotes, influencers, and emotional appeals replace evidence.

7. Questioning the category is discouraged. Any system that punishes doubt relies on belief, not truth.

Conclusion

The corralling term “transgender” may appear compassionate or scientific—or even progressive. But when we examine the structural incentives behind “transgender,” they reveal a clear pattern: it is a broad label used to gather disparate populations into conceptual holding pens, where they can be marketed to, managed, and monetized.

This is not a conspiracy; it is a business model.

And the more we can identify the hallmarks, the more we can protect ourselves from exploitation disguised as care.
