I am posting this simply because there are many folks out there who may be unaware of certain agendas presently being systematically promulgated in our schools, literature, commercial institutions, the internet; in other words, everywhere. Information is power. What follows is information you may, or may not, be aware of.
These days it’s not enough to define oneself as male or female but instead as an ever increasing number of gender identity terms. This troubles me greatly, not because I accept this assertion, but because those who oppose it are being “shamed” into accepting certain aberrant conclusions be means of a host of uncomplimentary, misleading terms I will not repeat here. In fact a Massachusetts college is presently telling (not asking) students to avoid using “gender specific” words like Mother And Father.
Let is be known that this post may be unpleasant, but indeed the growing darkness needs to be brought into the light. Allow me to draw from a few gender identity proponents which will, in their own words, clearly define what their agenda includes. These things are in fact happening before our very eyes all over the country and around the world. If you have children or care about the welfare of innocent children in general, please read as much of the following as you can. It will be both unpleasant and completely self evident.
The premise of this Radical Gender Theory is that sex and gender are socially constructed—that is, they are human inventions used as instruments of power, rather than features of objective reality. Radical gender theorists argue the following in their own words:
SEX, GENDER, AND SEXUALITY ARE SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTED
• “In the end, binaries are not just a curious way we have of understanding the world. They are political. They are about power. They create hierarchies—male/female, white/black, colonial/native—that produce winners and losers.” —Riki Wilchins, Queer Theory, Gender Theory: An Instant Prime
SUPPORT FOR SYNTHETIC SEXUAL IDENTITIES & NEO-PRONOUNS
• “Some societies—like ours—tend to recognize just two genders, male and female. The idea that there are only two genders is sometimes called a ‘gender binary,’ because binary means ‘having two parts’ (male and female). Therefore, ‘non-binary’ is one term people use to describe genders that don’t fall into one of these two categories, male or female ... People whose gender is not male or female use many different terms to describe themselves, with non-binary being one of the most common. Other terms include genderqueer, agender, bigender, and more.” —National Center for Transgender Equality, “Understanding Non-Binary People: How to Be Respectful and Supportive”
DRAG SHOWS FOR CHILDREN
• “Drag is firmly rooted in play as a site of queer pleasure, resistance, and self-fashioning ... Queer world making, including political organizing, has long been a project driven by desire. It is, in part, enacted through art forms like fashion, theatre, and drag. We believe that [Drag Queen Story Hour] offers an invitation towards deeper public engagement with queer cultural production, particularly for young children and their families. It may be that DQSH is ‘family friendly,’ in the sense that it is accessible and inviting to families with children, but it is less a sanitizing force than it is a preparatory introduction to alternate modes of kinship. Here, DQSH is ‘family friendly’ in the sense of ‘family’ as an old-school queer code to identify and connect with other queers on the street.” —Harper Keenan and Lil Miss Hot Mess, “Drag Pedagogy: The Playful Practice of Queer Imagination in Early Childhood”
OPPOSITION TO RESTRICTIONS ON CHILD PORNOGRAPHY
• “For over a century, no tactic for stirring up erotic hysteria has been as reliable as the appeal to protect children ... The laws produced by the child porn panic are ill-conceived and misdirected. They represent far reaching alterations in the regulation of sexual behavior and abrogate important sexual civil liberties. But hardly anyone noticed as they swept through Congress and state legislatures. With the exception of the North American Man/ Boy Love Association and American Civil Liberties Union, no one raised a peep of protest.” —Gayle Rubin, Thinking Sex
OPPOSITION TO RESTRICTIONS ON ADULT-CHILD SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS
• “Like communists and homosexuals in the 1950s, boy lovers are so stigmatized that it is difficult to find defenders for their civil liberties, let alone for their erotic orientation ... The law is especially ferocious in maintaining the boundary between childhood ‘innocence’ and ‘adult’ sexuality. Rather than recognizing the sexuality of the young, and attempting to provide for it in a caring and responsible manner, our culture denies and punishes erotic interest and activity by anyone under the local age of consent.” —Gayle Rubin, Thinking Sex
• “American society has become rabidly phobic about any sexual contact be- tween adults and minors ... To simply speak this truth is very dangerous today. But we do not serve ourselves—or children—very well when we interpret all sexual experiences in the most negative terms possible. Sex is not simply a matter of violence or danger. And issues of consent, autonomy, and power are never simple to sort out, especially in the realm of the senses. Adult panic or disgust about young people’s seeking pleasure for themselves is responsible for much of the trauma that minors experience when they are caught behaving ‘inappropriately’ for their ages, even in a consensual context.” —Pat Califia, The Culture of Radical Sex
• “I do think that there are probably forms of incest that are not necessarily traumatic or which gain their traumatic character by virtue of the consciousness of social shame that they produce . . . It might, then, be necessary to rethink the prohibition on incest as that which sometimes protects against a violation, and sometimes becomes the very instrument of a violation” —Judith Butler, Undoing Gender
Are you sickened yet? I hope you can easily see why is it important to draw a line in the sand and speak out. But it gets even worse for in some institutions it is now compulsory. Case in point, Springfield College in Massachusetts has created pronoun guidelines encouraging students to avoid using “gender specific” words including the grave sin of saying mother and father.
This agenda is being aggressively promoted all over the country and around the world. As this list indicates, the “gender war” really does revolve around the dissolution of male and female. Fortunately many folks (men and women) have had enough and are pushing back. Just one recent example here:
Thousands of Catholics have shut down the main entrance to Dodger Stadium on Vin Scully avenue in protest of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (Order of queer and trans nuns) being honored tonight. They are now lining the sidewalks and have taken over the entire block: pic.twitter.com/F5CSDvuap8 — Savanah Hernandez (@sav_says_) June 17, 2023
Words mean things and we best not twist them into woke pretzels for the appeasement of a dubious, anti-God, narcissistic agenda. It is a rebellious affront to our Lord, nothing less, for He said: And God created man to his own image: to the image of God he created him: male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27. Or if you prefer hearing it from our Lord Jesus Christ: Jesus answered, “Haven’t you read that at the beginning the Creator made them male and female? Matthew 19:4. Jesus did not use the colloquial expression “Duh!”, but I do think it would be a fair interpretation.
Case closed. Let’s put an end to this madness before a generation of children are irreparably emotionally and physically ravaged! "But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Matthew 18:6
Phew, I’m glad that’s over.

Quite a summary of part of the so-called progressive agenda, Jim. We have to ask those who wave the progressive banner, "Where are you taking us?" Progress implies forward movement, away from where you've been to someplace new. What new place do they have in mind? Why are the old ways something to leave behind? The excerpts you included tell us plainly where their progress is headed. I'm not following, and I'm glad you're not, either. Write on!
Thank you for writing about this subject. It would be easy to stick our heads in the sand because it's so ridiculous to us but it is an evil permeating our society. We have to be aware of their deception.
