Worth Reading

By David Montgomery

Here we go with the topic that gets me hate mail:

An exceptionally clear and concise faith-based statement on handling trans questions. Its arguments against efforts to alter biological sex, socially or surgically, are worth memorizing by anyone who believes in a Divine Creator or natural law. Its instructions on how to handle the ‘real but usually transitory condition of gender dysphoria” are directed at Catholic schools, but WDM thinks they should be observed everywhere.

An interesting article on the ideology of gender manipulation caught WDM’s attention. It describes the “concerted push by members of one of the richest families in the United States to transition Americans …to the broad acceptance and propagation of synthetic sex identities (SSI).” In addition to the investigative journalism, the acronym SSI coined by the author is a useful shorthand for the ideology of gender fluidity. Even more interesting, the article was found on the Wayback machine.

James Lindsay is not the easiest commentator to read (understatement of the year there) but no one WDM knows does as good a job of exposing just how wrong teaching about gender choice in schools can be. In a recently posted article he talks about how gender curricula in schools are not intended to foster greater tolerance of those with different sexual preferences, but to undermine children’s understanding of what is true and natural.
