I agreed with your whole post except for the (((people))) part. I think the blame properly resides with the Russians/Soviets. The Russians had a huge problem with a eunuch cult called the Skoptsy:

It lasted from the late 1700s to the 1930s, when Stalin recognized the Skoptsy cult continued to grow which cast questions on Soviet legitimacy if they couldn’t control a group of weirdos running around stealing and castrating kids. So Stalin had virtually all of them killed.
Where my conspiracy theory begins is: what if the Soviets decided to take a handful of the remaining Skoptsy, send them to America, and encourage them to be Skoptsy over there? The smarter folks in their intelligence agencies likely realized America had too many human rights preventing them from suppressing the Skoptsy with the necessary brutality, so it would continue to grow and grow.
Indeed, by the mid-1950s Christine Jourgensen had received the first sex-change operation, and by the late 1960s the Unabomber had already read enough transsexual propaganda to make him briefly wonder if
he was transsexual.
