The fuck is a trans insurgency?

Timestamped to jump to where Pauline Hanson starts talking about the "transgender insurgency" in Australia.

The campaign linked by OP is The Greens mocking her

(This YouTube channel doesn't seem to be blocked in Japan which is where my VPN I tested this with connected to, so presumably should work elsewhere too)

TLDR:

Apparently one senator, Pauline Hanson, described the trans movement as a “trans insurgency” akin to radical islamic insurgency.

Unfortunately for her, “trans insurgency” kinda goes hard af. So another senator, Penny Allman-Payne of the greens, has co-opted the term positively.
