Democrats are against protecting women in sports from sick men who masquerade as women. Democrats also insist these mentally ill men must be allowed to use women’s bathrooms, to protect “women’s rights.” [Read more…]

Democrats and the left are fighting against a Tennessee law that prohibits minors from receiving “gender-affirming care,” a euphemism for sex hormones treatment (chemical castration) and surgical mutilation of healthy children. [Read more…]

I suppose that most pastors have had the experience of a young parishioner approaching them privately and confiding in them their suspicion or decision that they were gay, bisexual, or transgender.
Such confusion is in the air, has the Nihil Obstat [official approval] of both secular culture and governmental sanction, and also bestows a kind of odd popularity, making the person part of a privileged minority of the nobly oppressed. Adolescence has always been a time of sexual ambiguity and confusion, as hormones go into overdrive and leave the young person with a multitude of conflicting emotions. [Read more…]

Mutilating the genitals of young children will surely one day lead to a cascade of lawsuits against the State of Vermont. These sex surgeries are as irreversible as lobotomies. [Read more…]

Who among us could have guessed a few years back that today gender ideology would be the clearest, most divisive matter of contention separating the American left from the right? To those reasonably grounded in reality, the notion that gender is fluid, that a Supreme Court Justice would be unable to define the word “woman,” that men can give birth, and that children can and should be mutilated if they are confused about their own gender identity is not only sheer lunacy, it is barbaric.
But the left’s commitment to those ideas is total; it’s the hill on which they are willing to die. Those who disagree with them are vilified as transphobic, haters or terrorists. [Read more…]

Modern gender ideology is a form of radical iconoclasm. It seeks to destroy the God-created icon of male and female.
“Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female …” (Mat 19:4). True Christianity has always confessed that mankind is the creation of God, the work of His hands. To be truly human means to live according to the mode of being, the revelation, the way of life, instituted by our Creator God. Humanity is infused with essential nature. This nature is an existent reality established by God Himself and is shared in common by every human person. [Read more…]

The Gender Unicorn is a recruiting tool to destroy children using transgender delusions and lies.
Shortly before I decided to detransition, I had a conversation with a trans friend about the Gender Unicorn. I was frustrated by it. I said, it doesn’t make any sense! It doesn’t actually represent what being trans is about at all! In some ways, the ideas it represents run completely counter to the actual goals of the trans movement!
My friend’s response was that it didn’t matter; it was better than the binary concept of gender believed by mainstream society. The Gender Unicorn didn’t have to make sense, it just had to be simple and easy to spread. It’s not an accurate representation of the ideology behind the transgender rights movement because it was never meant to be.
It’s a recruiting tool. [Read more…]

Some years ago, in Defending Marriage: Twelve Arguments for Sanity, I wrote, as the ninth argument, that “to celebrate an abnormal behavior makes things worse, not better, for those inclined to engage in it.” I believe that that statement, right now, would be quite uncontroversial in any other area of human choice but the sexual; though it is precisely the sexual that illustrates its truth most clearly, as we see in our midst, so obviously that only our own moral compromises, or a kind of ideological idolatry, can prevent us from telling ourselves what we do see.
For back in 2014, those halcyon days at what most people thought was the floor of a crater below which we could not continue to fall, no one thought that drag queens in see-through garb would be encouraging little children in public libraries to stick dollar bills in their underwear, [Read more…]

This stuff is absolutely intolerable. I remind you: they are talking about seizing children from families to put them through sex reassignment.
Yeah, yeah, squall about it all you want, but that’s exactly what the Democratic Party is, if you take seriously the Biden Administration’s newly released guidelines on health care for trans youth. Take a look:
The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Population Affairs released a document Thursday titled “Gender Affirming Care and Young People.” The same day, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Child Traumatic Stress Network – another subset of the HHS – released a parallel document titled, “Gender-Affirming Care Is Trauma-Informed Care.” [Read more…]

A decade ago, the number of people in the USA identifying as transgender was approximately 1 in 10,000 (0.01%). Now 2% (1 in 50) of high school students, identify as transgender. (See page 32)
[A 20,000% increase in just 10 years!]
Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters is a troubling book about an epidemic damaging the lives of many many teenage girls. While the book is particularly focused on the United States, this contagion, spread by the internet, is beginning to affect many westernized societies.
