The anti-cult movement is a social group which opposes any new religious movement (NRM) that they characterize as a cult. Sociologists David Bromley and Anson Shupe initially defined the ACM in 1981 as a collection of groups embracing brainwashing-theory, but later observed a significant shift in ideology towards pathologizing membership in NRMs. One element within the anti-cult movement, Christian counter-cult organizations, oppose NRMs on theological grounds and distribute information to this effect through church networks and via printed literature.

Jamie Shupe is a retired United States Army soldier who, in 2016, became the first person in the United States to have their sex legally declared as non-binary. The Portland, Oregon court ruling in the Multnomah County Courthouse by Amy Holmes Hehn is described as the first of its kind in the U.S. by the Transgender Law Center and Lambda Legal. After requests for legal assistance to the American Civil Liberties Union and LGBT advocacy group Lambda Legal led nowhere, Shupe began interviewing Oregon lawyers, ultimately hiring Portland attorney Lake James Perriguey. He is credited with helping to bring same-sex marriage to Oregon. The judge did not question Shupe during the brief hearing, and he attended the legal proceeding with two doctor's letters, one from Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and the other from The Department of Veterans Affairs, stating he was neither male or female. The total legal bill for the simple case was $1,056. The under the radar win stunned national LGBT advocacy groups that had been attempting a similar feat for years.
