Indirect investigation of a person's sex
Transvestigation
(portmanteau of
transgender
and
investigation
) is an indirect inquiry to determine the
assigned sex
of an individual, primarily through photographic and video evidence. It is a key aspect of a
conspiracy theory
which gained popularity in the late 2010s and early 2020s that asserts that many or all celebrities and other prominent individuals, including athletes, politicians and historical figures, are or were
transgender
. Consequently, the methodology used by "transvestigators" adhering to this theory is subject to
pareidolia
and often suffers from
confirmation bias
.

Baptist News Global
has compared some of the methods used to those commonly associated with
eugenics
, such as
craniometry
.
[3]
The basis for transvestigation ranges from the belief that some celebrities' gender identity simply differs from their birth-assigned sex, to the belief that their transgender identity is part of an initiation ritual known as "elite gender inversion", conducted by Hollywood and music industry elites or secret organizations such as the
New World Order
and
Illuminati
.

GLAAD
considers the movement to be an expression of
transphobia
.
