About this site

Gendersekte.nl examines the organized gender movement using the frameworks of academic cult research: Lifton, Hassan, Singer and Langone. Analytical rather than polemical — the site is explicit about what it does and does not claim.

What you’ll find on gendersekte.nl

• The four main models: Lifton’s eight criteria, the BITE model, Singer’s six conditions and the Langone checklist
• 16 mechanisms and 20 real-world case studies
• 14 key actors and critics, profiled
• 8 comparisons with other movements
• Glossary of concepts and references to the literature

For whom

For readers with a sociological or psychological interest who want to understand the movement’s dynamics using scientific frameworks — and for anyone who wants to assess whether the comparison holds up.
