Losing the Fight against Transgenderism before It Started
American Thinker ^ | 27 Apr, 2021 | Denise McAllister

A long history of unintended consequences has conservatives on the ropes even before the first round.

Fights for "transgender rights" are ratcheting up across the nation, met with opposition by those who say our sexuality is a biological reality that can't be changed with a scalpel. The problem is this war against transgenderism has already been settled. The definition of human sexual identity was already changed — by our society's acceptance of the homosexual identity as a legitimate sexual identity.

The landmark case Obergefell v. Hodges, which declared marriage redefined to include same-sex couples, presupposed the sexual identity of homosexuality and all rights attached to that identity. This was a necessary presupposition to the ruling. If homosexuality were only a behavior, then people who engage in same-sex relationships would not have rights as a "homosexual," because homosexuality would not be an "identity" with all the dignity an identity deserves. It would be an action born of desires and feelings, which don't have rights attached to them.

As stated in our founding documents and the principle on which all American rights rest, our rights do not come from men, including the individual man or woman regarding himself. They come from God, from an objective source. Our rights come from God because our identity comes from God.

SNIP

Society has determined homosexuality — through reconstruction of what's considered normative — and the Court recognizes it as a human sexual identity with all rights derived from being human. This recognition is based on a false premise: that our feelings, our desires, and our actions that follow those desires determine our identity as human sexual beings.

The people living in the false reality of woke genderism are fighting to force everyone else to live in that false reality

The only way it MIGHT have changed is if every guy won every woman’s sporting event and took all the scholarship money. However, there have not been enough to upset the masses and by the time it does, it would be way to late.

The “tolerant” people really found Judaeo-Christian values totally unacceptable. In response, they went to war in our court system to forcibly impose their views of deviant sexuality on others. We are now forced to accept perversion and we are expected to nod and say we support it. If we don’t due as we are told, we can be crushed.

That’s what “tolerance” looks like, kids.

Yes. And power is not leaving people alone to do what they want. Power is forcing people to do what they truly despise....like accept transgenderism insanity.

“The people living in the false reality of woke genderism are fighting to force everyone else to live in that false reality”

That’s the problem with the Left in general. The Left at General Dynamics decided that to prove the company was woke they had to prosecute sexual harassment. The problem was that any harassment was taking place at such a high level that those people were not touchable by the ones assigned to do the prosecuting. The “ethics” manager at my facility had, as a goal and objective, to fire three people for sexual harassment by the end of the year. It was already quite late in the year when they did backflips to find a way to make a case against me. Just trimming the incident down for relevance to this case, the problem with tying in Leftism to goals and objectives is, G&O’s famously increase every year. In essence, that’s liberalism’s problem. It can’t stay static. It must always get bigger, better and more powerful. It’s goal is destructive control over all of traditional society. There is no point where liberalism can say, “Okay, we’ve arrived.” Thus the issue with gay marriage. Once they won that one they had to move on...and on...and on. We are now at the point where transgenderism is the focus. Next, it will be that everyone who is “normal” must have a same sex passport to prove they’ve had same sex. Then, after that? I shudder to think.

Last Sunday we had the “totally irrelevant” Oscars - make-believe people self-celebrating to themselves.

The Olympic games will also become irrelevant, as males and trans-genders will eventually win all the medals.

ALL.

By then, it will be just another form of “no thanks, I’m not watching” entertainment.

It would be an action born of desires and feelings, which don't have rights attached to them."

Indeed, thus it follows that homosexual "orientation" is one of biology, like race. If so, then since being born of the Spirit means an "orientation" contrary to this then the right of oppose homosexual orientation should be recognized as a right. However, there is an inherent bias against religion in recognizing rights to a perverse behavior of specious biological cause over those of a spiritual nature.

"As stated in our founding documents and the principle on which all American rights rest, our rights do not come from men, including the individual man or woman regarding himself. They come from God, from an objective source."

But which God and His will must be based upon an objective source, which in America at least was the Bible.

There is nothing unintended about these consequences.

People were blindsided by their assumption their enemies had some humanity to them.

Good article in general but she goes off the rails blaming conservatives. (For decades, American conservatives have engaged in behavior that has disrupted God’s ordered purposes for sex and erotic relationships.) I believe she means anyone who goes to a “Christian” church is conservative and is therefore responsible. Nothing is further from the truth. Most protestant churches are full of Leftists who believe many things that God hates. If she says there hasn’t been enough pushback, ok, but that’s all of us. Don’t call out conservatives only.

Ping.
