"What Is It That Keeps Everyday People Stuck in the Culture War Against Transgender People?"
 "Since right-wing religionists and politicians discovered the use of “culture wars” to scare people into voting for them and their pet causes back in the Moral Majority era, we can understand why the leaders of these so-called “wars” have pushed this idea on the country.
Choosing human beings that already reflected cultural prejudices as scapegoats and stoking fear of them, has kept politicians, clergy, right-wing talk show hosts, and what we now call “influencers” in the limelight by fulfilling their desperate personal needs for attention, bringing in big bucks, creating personality cults around them, and increasing their political power.
Whether these public figures are actually believers in anything but themselves or not, they’ve learned that right-wing religion is easily manipulated to sanctify their biases, fears, hypocrisies, moralistic attitudes, and violent rhetoric.

 The
Fairness Project On-Line Activist Tool Kit
The Fairness Project is in the process
of making available the handout materials from
Dr. Minor's popular workshop: "Being an Activist
Without Being a Victim." These materials are chosen
because they encourage activist leadership to proceed
from a progressive, healing model which contradicts
the models of leadership found in most popular
forms, models that are meant to keep the system
in place rather than to make changes that support
humanity, and result in burnout among leaders.
