When Harry Became Sally

With the release of When Harry Became Sally , he has produced another timely, thoughtful, and important book that weighs into one of the most divisive and pressing issues of our day. Anderson is careful to make a distinction between activists who are pushing a transgender ideology on the nation, and individuals who experience gender dysphoria . He expresses genuine concern and compassion for people—and especially children—who have gender dysphoria. He rightly recognizes that most people with gender dysphoria are not activists, but simply trying to find meaning and happiness in life, like all people. And yet, Anderson is uncompromising in his critique of transgender ideology. In fact, he wrote the book because he couldn’t shake the painful stories he heard of people who had detransitioned from have a transgender identity back to their natural sex. He wanted to give them a voice and to prevent more people from suffering in the same way. Transgender Ideology How does transgen

Christian booted from class on Christianity…for opposing transgenderism

If you’ve ever wondered why academics like Dr. Jordan B. Peterson are warning parents that universities are intellectually bankrupt postmodern playgrounds specializing in ideology rather than education, look no further than this story, at Indiana University of Pennsylvania .  From FOX News : A religious studies major was barred from Christianity class at Indiana University of Pennsylvania for saying during class that there are only two genders. Lake Ingle, a senior at the university, said he was silenced and punished by IUP Professor Alison Downie for questioning her during a Feb. 28 “Christianity 481: Self, Sin, and Salvation” lecture. After showing a 15-minute  TED Talk  by transgender ex-pastor Paula Stone Williams discussing the “reality” of “mansplaining,” “sexism from men,” and “male privilege,” the professor asked the women in the class to share their thoughts. When no women in the class said anything, Ingle spoke up, challenging the professor on biology and the ge

The insanity of the ‘transgender’ fad

Feminism rebelled against reality. Transgenderism seeks to abolish it entirely. But the feminists and the gender ideologues are beginning to realize that their worldviews don’t line up very nicely. It seems as if our culture doesn’t quite understand just how radical the transgender fad actually is—or how genuinely insulting it is to women.  When debates fired up across social media over whether or not a certain man who began identifying as a woman could be called a woman about a year ago, I remember one comment in particular.  An angry woman demanded to know if a man in a dress - or even a man with a sex change - could understand menstrual cramps , pregnancy, or dozens of other things women experience. The answer, of course, was no. But the woman was pronounced a transphobe anyway, for not affirming that a cross-dresser was just like her. You would think these are valid questions. A short decade or two ago, the insinuation that a biological male physically incapable of

Catholic teachers adopt curriculum promoting transgenderism

Why is the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association, OECTA, helping to push transgenderism in separate schools? It's not Catholic. But that's exactly what they are doing. In a partnership with Egale Canada , teachers will be able to use a new resource called,  Draw the Line - Against Transphobic Violence  (DTL - ATV). The February 2017 issue of the OETCA newsletter contains an article by Alyx Duffy called,  "Supporting Gender Diversity in the Classroom."  It's all about telling teachers how they can use the new resource to develop lesson plans for Grades 9-11 to teach transgenderism and "gender diversity." It's also to get students and teachers to accept and promote "gender diversity." But of course students and teachers won't be told that directly. Guess who Duffy is? He's the Youth Program Coordinator for Egale Canada. This is an activist organization that makes it its mission to advance sexual orientation and &quo
