I've talked about transgender activist Jeffrey Marsh in the past. While much attention is put on Dylan Mulvaney, I consider Mulvaney to be a do-whatever-it-takes kind of attention whore. Marsh is actually dangerous because he's not just here to get people to look at him, he specifically wants your kids to look at him.
Marsh is known for making videos directly encouraging young people to communicate with him without their parents' knowledge. He does this under the guise of helping "trans kids" who are too afraid to come out and have no one to talk to, but this is just disguising his predatory nature. While I don't have any proof that Marsh is doing anything physical with kids and/or harboring any elicited photographs or videos of them, what I can confirm is that he is going after the minds of kids to absorb them into his ideology.
Marsh is the kind of person who rattles off self-victimizing nonsense and blames the backlash against him on some sort of transphobia and sexism. His followers are rabid enough to defend him viciously, including finding the names and addresses of his detractors as well as where their children attend school.
However, there are some targets too big or, at the very least, too unafraid to get taken down, such as Chaya Raichik, the owner of the "Libs of TikTok" account on X.
In a recent video, Marsh attempted to sound the alarm about Raichik receiving a position on the Oklahoma library panel. His video is laced to the gills with activist tactics and I thought I'd go over some of them to show you how cult-like the left and, specifically, the transgender activist community is.
First, here's the video, if you can stomach Marsh at all.

Let's start at the beginning where Marsh sounds the alarm that Raichik is now on a library board in Oklahoma. He describes her as a "bullying internet account."
This is false. "Libs of TikTok" isn't bullying anyone as it takes content that was already uploaded by radical leftist users and displays it for a much larger audience. She's effectively signal boosting the messages of these radicals and fringe weirdos so that the general population can see what's going on in the minds of those who engage in the ideology the media puts only the best window dressing around.
This is especially useful for parents as Raichik's content is oftentimes geared toward alerting parents and communities where predators are in the school system, and what local politicians are doing to promote radicalism, but never does so outside of the publicly available information. The accusation of "bullying" doesn't apply here, because what Raichik is doing is protecting. This would be like accusing a sheepdog of bullying wolves.
He then goes on to say that this is all part of a "far-right" attack on trans people. This is false as well as the quest to rid the school system of activist influencers who are openly attempting to indoctrinate your child with mentally and physically damaging ideas isn't only being done by the right. Protecting children is a basic American concern and to say that only the right (mislabeled here as an extremist "far-right) are the ones doing this would be wrong. Protecting children is a basic, natural cause to get behind and one that has even caused Muslim and Christian parents to unite in the recent past.
But we now have a firmly established bad guy thanks to Marsh. He sells his opposition as radical far-right bigots who just blindly hate trans people. It's a blatant lie, but Marsh soaks himself in lies for a living.
He continues by saying that the actions of these people have "deadly consequences," furthering the idea transgender people are the victims of violence, especially suicide, thanks to bullying from anti-trans groups and...well...the world.
He then goes into the story of a student who recently committed suicide after bullying in Oklahoma.
What Marsh is referring to is the story of Nex Benedict, a student who identified as "non-binary" and allegedly committed suicide a day after she was jumped in a bathroom by three other students. At this time, it was unclear what the cause of death was or if the death was related to the fight the previous day.
According to a text message sent by Benedict, she started the fight by pouring water on the three girls who had been allegedly bullying her according to CNN, though it is currently unclear what they were bullying her about:
“I got jumped at school. 3 on 1, had to go to the ER,” the message said. The text exchange said the girls involved in the fight “had been bullying me and my friends and I got tired of it so I poured some water on them and all 3 came after me.”
In the exchange, Nex said that they had bruises from the fight and had gotten pain medication. They also wrote, “If I’m still dizzy and nauseous in the morning I might have a concussion.”
There's still a lot of missing information about the incident and Benedict's death, including whether her death was even a suicide, but that matters little. What Marsh is doing by telling you this story is that bigotry is winning in Oklahoma and now he also has a martyr to rally people around.
He then encourages his viewers to find a trans or non-binary person and show them some love. What he really means by doing this is driving people to reinforce both their own ideas about the realism of transgenderism as well as reinforcing the beliefs of those who identify as such.
What Marsh did in his little video is effectively use the same tactics cults use to recruit and keep members, though a bit out of order.
First, you "love bomb" to get the person to believe that you and yours are kind, inviting, and giving. Then you create an opposition force to the group. In this case, it's greater society that is after trans people, a blatant lie in itself and one of the most pervasive lies in our society. You make the person believe that everyone and everything is trying to hurt them and hate them, causing them to further retreat and adopt the mentality of the cult. You even give them a fallen friend or member to unite around and work for the memory of.

These tactics tend to work on people who are isolated, are mentally ill, or are naive like young people generally are.
Marsh is, at the end of the day, a wannabe cult leader, even if he doesn't know it. The problem is that the main audience he wants to bring in are your children.
