More and more, it is clear that what is being served up, in schools, in social media, in liberal media, is just pure evil. Teaching children that they can switch sex by wiggling their nose and cutting off their tits is an evil and mendacious approach.
We need to rediscover a simple truth: Biology, defined by our genes, gives us gifts, and limits our options. Men cannot bear children. Women cannot grow beards. Using hormones which are not meant in the sexed body can create a simulacrum of the other sex, but it is not functional. More importantly, by holding out the possibility of this magical change, we have diverted and perverted a generation of children.
sI feel as if I'm looking down a road that has a few detours but is otherwise fairly easy to traverse, then along comes the Cult and drops a labyrinth in the path, telling us this is the easiest way to go. I can sum this up very simply: most are gathered in the middle of the bell curve but some are at either end. It's that simple. Those on the ends don't need their bodies mutilated for the mental comfort of the Cult, they just need to be reassured their non-conforming interests and endeavors are okay. I'm reminded of all the hullabaloo over Larry Summers (paraphrasing) saying males are more likely to be good at math and science than females. My experience is that he is correct but then I have to respond, "So what." If a female shows an interest in mechanics, do we want to beat it out of her, or perhaps surgically mutilate her? Or maybe a boy likes fashion. Another "So what." Maybe we can all be bees in a hive so there's none of that human ingenuity and difference that seems to bother so many on both sides.
Thank you for this enlightening article! As someone who’s become obsessed with the question of where the current understanding of “gender identity” came from and when it arose, this added another piece of the puzzle for me. Lisa Selin Davis’s writing on the topic here at RLS is also a must-read for anyone similarly obsessed.
I have seen this idea in practice. There is a somewhat famous little boy who transitioned at around age 4. He comes from a Right-wing, Christian conservative household where his rather effeminate behavior as a small child was punished and squashed. He wanted to wear dresses, play princess, and do all things "girly." He was pretty flamboyant. He was repeatedly told not to act like a girl. This spunky little boy would then run around telling him mother he was a girl. He would say things like "Mama, you know I'm really a girl!" After a couple of years of this, his mother heard him praying for Jesus to take him home. She realized he was very unhappy with the way he was being treated.
Instead of simply allowing him to dress and act in ways that made him comfortable (gender non-conforming - and, let's face it, it's fairly likely, although not guaranteed, that he would grow up gay), his mother decided to believe that he really is a girl. Mother and son then became big advocates for transgender children and their right to use the "correct" bathroom and get "life-saving medical care" as minors.
This little boy is now about 12 and probably on puberty blockers, as they moved from a state that bans these treatments for minors to a state that allows them. His story was told by his mother. In her mind, her son's prayer was proof that he really is a girl. In my mind, it's proof that he was sufficiently confused about his sexual identity because he was scolded for his effeminate behavior and told only girls do those things. He drew the appropriate conclusion that he must be a girl because he really loved the things he was doing. So a smart little boy is now being put on a path to mutilation, sterilization and a life-time as a medical patient with exogenous hormones, all because the message was that girls do X and boys do Y. How horrifying to know that similar ideas are being taught in schools everywhere.

Defund the schools.
