This chapter positions the great replacement conspiracy theory as a deep story of anti-gender politics. Starting with the analysis of how the conspirational ideology that the national population is replaced through engineered mass migration and falling birth rates is articulated in Germany, the chapter traces its transnational circulation in white supremacist networks. It shows that, while the conspiracy theory directly embraces racist, antisemitic, and Islamophobic ideologies, its affective grammars—the constructed fear of a declining populus and increased migration, the aggrieved entitlement over female sexuality, and passionate attachment to the protection of the white nuclear family—are by no means confined to neo-Nazi networks. Instead, they are part of increasingly mainstream anti-gender discourses that focus on cementing a naturalised sex/gender binary and positioning the white nuclear family as the foundation of the nation, animating social movements, political parties, and state policies. As such, the chapter highlights the importance of demographic anxieties and eugenic desires for understanding and contesting transnational anti-gender politics today.
