In today's society, much debate and perplexity has emerged over some of the most basic aspects of life. Unfortunately, some people have found themselves unable to answer questions about themselves that are foundational in nature, such as their gender identity. While the Book of Genesis presents us with the age-old framework of there being only the two genders of male and female, liberal educators, psychiatrists, and politicians believe that it is wrong for parents to be labeling their children as being boys or girls at birth. It has been suggested that things are not as they appear to our eyes, which defies basic logic. Thus, these people maintain that our children should be able to choose their own personal gender identities, even receiving surgery on their genitalia that corresponds with such.
Gender is a biological reality determined by our DNA. The same elementary scientific principle regarding the determination of gender is equally applicable to our skin and hair color. Furthermore, we know that only two different gender possibilities exist because only two different pairs of genitalia exist. There are only XX (female) and XY (male) genes. If transgenderism is to be accepted as normal and valid, then why not also choose to identify as two or three different persons at once? Can a human being cease to be human? Can we identify as an age other than our date of birth? Can we claim that our weight and height do not actually correspond to what is found on a scale or stadiometer? The only thing that medical procedures can do is change the outer appearance of people.
Any notion of common sense can exist only in an environment in which there is a common morality accepted. Ever since the existence of objective moral truths has been denied, Western culture has degenerated exponentially. Although any amount of conditioning through physical, psychological, or sexual abuse may cause a person to experience confusion regarding his gender, such struggles can be overcome through sufficient encouragement, discipline, and psychological training. We can assume, imagine, or have a desire to be different from what we are, but having such wishes does nothing to change our internal genetic makeup. Our beliefs do not determine reality. This, an affirmation of transgenderism is an assault on the nature of truth itself.
In 2016, the Obama Administration ordered public school systems to allow members of the opposite sexes to share restrooms, locker rooms, and showers. Since then, other public places such as grocery stores, parks, and universities have adopted the idea of using "transgender" bathrooms. Can anybody not see the inherent moral flaws of this ideology? First of all, any pervert can claim to be any random gender. Secondly, our right to privacy has been violated. Thirdly, the innocence of our children is at an elevated risk of being corrupted. They have no understanding of the real world. And fourthly, it is evil to brainwash people into believing that they can choose to be a different gender only to be enslaved to a lifetime exposure of carcinogenic, toxic hormones. It is wrong to mutilate healthy functioning parts of the body.
God created man in His image and likeness (Genesis 1:26-27). He also called creation "good" upon completing it (Genesis 1:31), and our natural bodily design is an integral part of that. The creation narrative affirms that God made male and female. The dichotomy between man and woman is a foundational and unchangeable reality. If that proposition is rejected, then any notion of the fixed categories making up reality becomes illusory. After all, things are not as our senses tell us. Identity is fluid and has no set meaning. Romans 1:22 says, "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools."
