My libertarian leanings are live and let live. I keep my Facebook territory intentionally benign and only rarely post anything provocative, including these articles; however, I’ve posted enough of them for my friend list to know where to come if they want to see more weighted commentary. On the other hand, if someone else uses their Facebook page to make a statement and I feel like engaging their post, I will; I’m meeting them on their turf, on a topic of their choosing, and I’m not afraid to challenge them in a friendly way. In the past six months, I’ve lost a couple friends. Germane to this article, one of those persons had brought up some remarks made by a celebrity, critical of the Trans-movement. They were offended. My sole comment was one word, “chromosome”. My one-word commentary illustrates that gender characteristics are hardwired into us at a sub-cellular level, facts that hopefully, still today, are disseminated in high school biology. If there are any other arguments to be made about gender, including abnormalities, cheating biology, psychological, they all have to pass through and reckon with this standard biological baseline, not just for human life, but for most of the entire animal kingdom. Given that this one-word observation was the only contrary, albeit brutally factual notion that I ever expressed to this particular Facebook friend, who happens to be gay, I believe this was the reason I was unfriended by him shortly thereafter.
Although I made some mental notes about this exchange and the social media unfriending, it wasn’t until several months later that all things Trans went from being just a big social cause for some, to now, a white-hot battleground for everyone. Trans people were and are, a tiny minority even among the alternative identity crowd and yet suddenly, in the past year and especially with the current progressive siege on anything conservative, Trans issues are eclipsing all other identity culture war causes. In that context, I asked myself, why was it that a gay man found any cross-examination whatsoever of his pro-Trans stance to be so offensive that he’d unfriend me? I also had to ask of myself, why would I, who would never bother to influence someone’s gay proclivities, why would I make my stand over the current fight of expanded Trans activism? Over the past few months, the reasons have gradually coalesced. The reason? Children.
Children are the focus of the now Trans-wars. Adults have been quietly getting sex changes and other hybrid procedures, becoming drag queens, and diving into every facet of alternative lifestyles for all of history. Contrary to what they would project onto you, none of us are shocked. There is no public campaign against them. They have a world they live in, they love it, they live in their world and we live in ours. Of course, there is greatly elevated boogeyman called ‘church’, ‘Christians’, religion, the go-to chip on their shoulder when they experience their own profound dysphoria or when family or relatives dare to express their personal convictions or opinions, but otherwise, no one messes with them, and yet they’ve suddenly waged war on conservatives. The tiny minority, feeling emboldened by intersectionality, are now compelled to remake society in their image, and they must have your children to do so.
Other conservatives have and continue to adequately describe the physiological and psychological genocide that is happening by subjecting teens and even preteens to non-consenting genital mutilation, hormone drugging, and psychological brainwashing. They destroy the child’s own natural sexual function that will never be restorable to original condition, they are subjecting the child to significant lifelong health risks and lifelong astronomical pharmaceutical costs associated with gender maintenance drugs, over what is likely at most, transient phases of self-discovery from the child. Why would my former FB friend, seemingly well-adjusted in all other ways, why would he sign on to this horror in such a way that he could not entertain any cross-examination of his opinion? Children are the prize.
Heretofore, the LGBTQ community has ostensibly been fastidious about not recruiting underage companions, at least in the public eye, even while everyone knew that a subset of them have quietly advocated for changing the laws to allow consensual relationships with minors. Also, everyone knows that some politicians, entertainers, and wealthy persons, secretly do skirt the law and the taboo, emboldened by the protection their wealth and power give them. Suddenly an avenue has opened up, a path whereby the entire LGBTQ community can effect mass change, permanently altering the bodies of children and guaranteeing their lifelong membership in their fraternity of alternative lifestyle – queerness for short. They are passing through the vail, they are forcing the taboo into public policy.
There is something incredibly perverse about those who have largely opted out of parenthood – and not just biological parenthood, that they should demand their neurosis and public policy preferences on everyone else’s kids. Obviously, they have powerful members of their community and other friends in high places. They’ve successfully written their agenda onto the slate of changes for the anti-America, socialistic, wokeocracy to advocate for them. They should not however, mistake browbeating the majority consensus of Americans with consent.
Although I described their favorite straw horse of religion as a go to ‘boogeyman’, I do wish upon any of them that advocate Trans identity on minors, the following declaration:
“If anyone causes one of the little ones-those who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and be drown in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble. Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come.”
