Do Not Touch The Unclean Thing
Gender bending is the next big stage as the West integrates into its own void. Many people will doubtless be found amazed at the speed and velocity of this spontaneous movement and how quickly it has insinuated itself into the institutions of government, law, courts, and schools.
We are not surprised at the velocity of the movement. These things gather pace as the rebellion against God grows stronger. Part of the consequence of God giving over a culture to its own destruction is that the resistance to evil attenuates; the lust for evil becomes more intense. The common thread is the frenetic drive for more human autonomy.
Breitbart News has carried a piece on moves within the UK Conservative Party and the UK government to drive all gender distinctions out of UK society.
A Conservative Party Member of Parliament has called for gender information to be stripped from legal documents including driving licenses and passports, claiming the category to be “not relevant”. As chair of the British Parliament’s Transgender Equalities Inquiry, Maria Miller is taking a leading role in championing transgenderism in the UK, promising “radical” recommendations from the inquiry.Let's be clear. The distinction between male and female is grounded in God's creation of man: "so God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created him. [Genesis 1: 27] It is a hard-wired, physical distinction, in the sense that it is a genetic distinction. Gender distinctions are irrevocable in both special and general revelation.
In an astonishingly candid interview with the Times, Ms. Miller details what a world designed around the needs of transgendered people would look like. “As a society and a government we should be looking at ways of trying to strip back talking about gender, and only do that when it’s absolutely necessary,” she argues. “We need to understand that gender stereotyping can be as damaging for men as it can be for women,” she says.
The intent of the gender-benders is to eliminate that distinction. It is a full throated rebellion against the creation, and against God and His law. This means it is doomed to failure and those sucked into its ideology and praxis are likewise doomed.
The first steps involve the gender neutralisation of official documents.
That means male and female tick boxes on official documents and job applications would be scrapped, and even passports and driving licences should not include a gender category. “For individuals who have decided to transition but haven’t necessarily got the right documentation, it can cause problems. Why do we need gender on our driving licence? Why do we have to have it on our passport if it doesn’t really add to identification? It’s not relevant. Australia has decided to degender their passports.”But much, much more is needed in the "age of gender fluidity".
In the age of gender fluidity, much more needs to change, she insists. “There is already an understanding that the status quo is not an option. I went to the Cambridge Union and saw they found it quite easy to have a gender neutral toilet so that’s something which is straightforward. What’s much more difficult is an employer or the NHS or prisons having the confidence to support people who are trans. The more information we can give, and the more we can say this is something straightforward and normal, the better.” [Emphasis, ours]Gender "fluidity"--changing from male to female and back again, along with all the combinations and iterations in between must be seen as natural as breathing. If not--if society does not commit itself to supporting and promoting this doctrine--it will be discriminating against human beings. It will be violating human rights. It will be guilty of institutional injustice.
She wants to see public services working harder to end what she perceives as discrimination against transgender people, saying: “The NHS demonstrates the problems that society at large has, which is a lack of information and confidence. Even when consultants have prescribed interventions — drug treatment — GPs are sometimes quite cautious about following through those recommendations, and in some cases not prescribing . This is an area that needs further work.”But things would not be complete without a heady pouring forth of guilt and pity--our old favorites. Apparently, suicide is common amongst those who are confused about their gender--you know boys in girls bodies, along with all other iterations of the theme.
We do not doubt that the temptation to commit murder upon oneself is much stronger in the gender-fluid set. That in itself is a deep tragedy. But the cause of the self-loathing is not external conditioning from society, as the guilt manipulators would have us believe. It is due to living in rebellion against God. The propagandists insisting upon social support for gender fluidity will only add to this sad travesty.
And while she shows marginally less enthusiasm for hormone treatment for ‘transgender’ children under 10 years old, saying: “That’s very much a decision for the medical profession,” she adds: “What is clear to me is that parents want the best for their children. Up to half of young trans people have tried to take their lives and around a third of adults, it’s something that clearly can be a very traumatising experience and the more we can enable people to get the right support at the right time the more likely it is we are going to help.”This UK government inquiry is not based on the natural sciences. It is certainly not grounded in ethics or morality. It is a propaganda exercise for a cause which has already been accepted by the authorities.
She speaks more enthusiastically about the work of her inquiry, a completely uncritical piece of work which looks only at the problems that the transgender community claim to face, and how society can better accommodate them, without exploring the potential for harm that promoting transgenderism can have. “There’s been so much progress made [on equality] in some areas that it becomes even more important that you identify areas which are hidden and trans issues are very hidden,” she says. “Our committee can shine a light on that.” . . .
But of the hundreds of pieces of evidence submitted to the inquiry, only seven were only seven were critical of transgender ideology, and not a single person invited to give oral evidence opposed the transgender lobby.The rot and its attendant stench of decay comes right from the top. This is no "rogue" Conservative MP. It is David Cameron himself who is cheering this on.
In November, Professor Sheila Jeffreys of the University of Melbourne in Australia, one of few people who did submit contrary evidence, told Breitbart London: “The inquiry starts out with the view that people who are transgender… really are ‘born in the wrong body’, as trans activists claim. There’s obviously no critique of the concept, or the politics, or the practice of transgenderism – that’s simply not involved in this inquiry.” Moreover, for those willing to counter the narrative put forward by the transgender lobby, “there are very serious penalties for being prepared to speak out,” she said. “People are likely to have their careers ruined.”
Therefore the committee never heard from those who are concerned that 70 to 80 percent of children who report transgender feelings spontaneously lose those feelings as they mature, nor from those who highlight the studies which found suicide rate among transgendered people who had reassignment surgery far higher than that of the general population.
However, her biggest blow to traditional conservatives is her alarming claim that she is undertaking her work in the name of conservatism. As the minister who steered the gay marriage legislation through parliament, she insists that Britain has always pioneered equality. In this, she follows the example of the Prime Minister David Cameron, who in 2011 told Conservative party members at their annual conference: “I don’t support gay marriage despite being a Conservative. I support gay marriage because I’m a Conservative.”As the West integrates into the void, and its rebellion against God gathers steam, the speed of the changes will increase. Unbelief will become more consistent. Emboldened, it will show its hand more and more. It will demand more room, more space, and more support from everyone, including Christians and the Church, for its crusade.
Miller echoes his phrase, insisting: “I became a Conservative because I think people should have equal opportunity. Why should there be discrimination because somebody feels that the gender they were assigned at birth isn’t the right gender for them?”
For us, the command of God remains clear and unambiguous:
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said,
“I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
Therefore go out from their midst,
and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,
and I will be a father to you,
and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.” [II Corinthians 6: 14-18]
