The lack of trans identity among President Trump is a source of great concern for The New York Times. His senior orders, which he denies, again up gender ideology, are opposed by the editorial board, which Amy Harmon claimed in a piece that he “undermining the very notion that transgender identities are genuine and should be recognized.”
Good.
” Sex names” that are disconnected from our essence as male and female are drivel. Consider this stupid writing by Harmon, who shows this to be true of a passing on public opinion regarding transgender issues: “[N]early 80 percent do not think transgender female athletes may be allowed to engage in women’s sports.” These” trans female players” are, of course, men, but female ideology requires the destruction of clear speech and thought.
This is why trans identities must not be given validity and reputation in legislation and culture. Some people find it tempting to give in to transgenderism as a form of pleasant literature. It might seem like a young child with cancer was made the captain of his favorite football team by calling the man in a costume” she.” And some people are still reluctant to let people transition, despite their horror at how it is done.
But as we have seen, this make-believe is unsustainable, the white falsehoods have gotten paler, and the box keeps getting pushed. Trans activists had pressure everyone to assume the lies are 100 percent accurate instead of being content with respectful fictions. The make-a-wish child appears to have started acting like the game’s superstar quarterback and has since expected everyone else to follow suit. The lie gradually becomes unsustainable and needs to be broken before it destroys everything else, but graciously it may have been intended.
Lies about crucial issues not turn out in the dark. This isn’t like pretending to like what your uncle or sister-in-law brought to Thanksgiving meal, it is about the fundamental realities of animal life. Absolutely, the differences between men and women account for all of our creation. Harmon cites “what they believe are important physiological differences between men and women” as evidence that The New York Times does not support the existence of evidence for the existence of men and women.
But science is not a matter of judgment. Truth must be the foundation of politics and culture, which is why affirming trans identities is often wrong. For example, these lies generally degraded and distorted the practice of medicine. Instead of treating patients as healers, so-called gender-affirming treatment transforms doctors into plastic technicians who inflict physical injury on their patients to reshape their bodies to match fantasies. This perverted medicine allows, also encourages, people to kill themselves. There is never any health need to change. Instead of sympathetic care to handle the emotional issues that have alienated patients from their natural, good bodies, “gender doctors” provide a lifetime of fruitless and dangerous treatment.
And those who are subject to these procedures can also experience these evils. Families are required to support and applaud the destruction, including wives whose husbands no longer want to be men, daughters whose fathers no longer want to be fathers, and parents whose daughters no longer want to be daughters.  ,
This pattern of forced affirmation eventually extends to everyone. ” Trans women are women” is now a required tenet in political fiction! — and the truth is banished as offensive. The transgender movement releases all of its propagandistic evils onto society, from placing male murderers and rapists in women’s prisons to sterilizing and mutilating children.  ,
These transgender tree poisoned fruits have been used repeatedly as a tool to help the transgender movement become more powerful in various countries, demonstrating that they are innate to the movement. Therefore, it would be foolish to be content to just stop at the worst manifestations of transgender ideology rather than root it. We have seen that any sort of” white lie” legitimation of transgender identities is unsustainable.  ,
Therefore, we must not be weary of the conflict before it is over. Our most recent victories are comparable to those from D-Day or the Battle of Midway, but they still go a long way to Tokyo or Berlin. Though the other side is in retreat, they are still fighting, filing lawsuits, trying to shore up their blue-state strongholds, and scheming of ways to circumvent bans on transitioning children. See, for example, this recent New England Journal of Medicine article suggesting “implementing telehealth services and out-of-state referral pathways” . ,
Those who have squandered their lives and reputations to transgender ideology won’t be content to give up. Many people who have lived their lives on the falsehood that a transgender can be a part of the body will continue to do so until the end is reached. Although this is tragic, affirming these lies is not kind because doing so only leads to new victims.
