transgender

Last week, by a vote of 340 to 141, the Parliament of the European Union — a unified group of 27 countries — approved “the full recognition of trans women as women” and encourages this to be recognized across all EU policy and law. You read that right. This body believes men are now women.

But it gets even crazier.

Tomasz Froelich, a German member of the European Parliament, revealed on X that the body also rejected an amendment recognizing “that only biological women can become pregnant.” The vote recorded 233 EU parliamentarians rejecting this undeniable truth while only 200 affirmed it. Remarkably, 107 members abstained, apparently expressing public confusion on the matter. Froelich was right to call the development “a madhouse.”

Ironically, these votes direct the EU’s priorities for the 70th session on the UN Commission on the Status of Women. They did so by erasing the meaning of women across these 27 member countries. American investigative reporter Gerald Posner explains that this vote “does not amend treaties or compel immediate statutory change.”

But that does not mean these two votes are not extremely harmful and consequential. Posner notes, “Language adopted at this stage often migrates — from guidance, to funding priorities, to regulatory expectation.” It dramatically shifts how most European nations will now see basic biology and sex. Make no mistake, this is the further erasure of any coherent meaning of female and pregnancy in law and language. It redefines parentage as well.

In his social media post on this vote, Posner is correct when he observes,

A society that cannot define what it means to be a girl or a woman, and demonstrates confusion on who can get pregnant, is a society that has descended into utter madness. That is not a judgement statement, but a fact. Gender ideology turns basic reality on its head and calls it enlightenment.

This is why no one should ever think they are being kind when using “gender pronouns.” It isn’t.

And no one should ever pretend that being “trans” is something that is real and must be respected. It isn’t real and no one should respect lies.

Even the pro-trans American Psychiatric Association readily admits that “transgender” is not a medical or psychiatric diagnosis. It is ideological fiction that does not exist in nature. It is a belief system.

Thankfully, successful lawsuits against medical professionals and psychiatric clinicians are beginning to turn this madness around. Earlier this month, The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) issued a new position statement on performing gender surgeries on deeply confused children and adolescents. They confess “there is insufficient evidence” for performing such surgeries. This is because “systematic reviews and evidence reassessment have subsequently identified limitations in study quality, consistency, and follow-up alongside emerging evidence of treatment complications and potential harms.”

The U.K.’s careful Cass Review arrived at this fact back in April of 2024.

The ASPS now recommends surgeons do not perform “gender-related breast/chest, genital, and facial surgery until a patient is at least 19 years old.”

The American Medical Association (AMA) told The Washington Post the very same day that “the evidence for gender-affirming surgical intervention in minors is insufficient for us to make a definitive statement” in support of such procedures. The Post reported the AMA “agrees with ASPS that surgeries for minors should be generally deferred to adulthood in the absence of clear evidence.”

Such surgeries do not work for minors, but we are supposed to believe they work fantastically the moment a child comes of age. Of course they will not. This shift is all about liability protection.

This is the age we are living in. Politicians feel compelled to vote that men are women and can indeed get pregnant, even while medical professionals are now realizing they are legally culpable for mutilating the perfectly healthy bodies of young patients who suffer from confused minds. 

No one should be compelled to participate in this madness with our language or manipulated compassion.

How the “Trans” and Gender Redefinition Issue Attacks the Family

Do Not Fall for the ‘Affirm Them or They Will Die’ Lie

Eight people lie dead at the hands of a crazed eighteen-year-old. Most of the victims are teens, shot dead at their school. One was a female teacher. The shooter’s mother and step-brother were also victims. As The Federalist reported on Wednesday, that the shooter was “a mentally ill man cosplaying as a woman.”

Some press reports have carefully documented this fact.

However, many sources like The New York Times and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have decided to participate in a central fiction about who the shooter was.

RCMP Deputy Commissioner Dwayne McDonald explained at a press conference shortly after the shooting, “So the suspect is identified as an eighteen-year-old female by the name of Jesse.” He also explained that police visited the man’s home “several times over the years” and “some of those calls were related to mental health issues.” McDonald was responding to a reporter’s question: “Were there any red flags regarding his mental health?”

Commissioner McDonald stated, “I can say that Jesse was born as a biological male, who, approximately … six years ago began to transition to female, and identified as female, both socially and publicly.” He also explained to the world that the RCMP will “identify the suspect as they chose to be identified in public and in social media.”

In their reporting, The New York Times referred to the shooter as “Ms. Van Rootselaar.” They also parroted McDonald’s account that “Jesse Van Rootselaar, was biologically born male and began transitioning to female six years ago.” They also noted “the police would continue identifying her as a female” as did the Times throughout their story.

We must recognize that both agencies are deliberately participating in the deception that contributed to this horrific massacre. Sadly, many Christian leaders have done the same.

Here are the facts that must be spoken:

First, the shooter was not “born male.” He was male.

Second, the shooter was not “transitioning to female.” Female is a fixed biological reality, objectively defining half of humanity. One does not become female through effort, process or medical experimentation.

Lastly, no one is “trans.” It does not exist in nature. Even the American Psychiatric Association readily confesses “transgender” is not a medical or psychiatric diagnosis.

All people of goodwill and a love of truth must actively set ourselves free from the insidious and deeply consequential language games of gender ideology. It is pure ideological capture and nearly all elite professions that should know better are choosing to sustain its lies. Our impressionable children need to see something better in us. 

The most powerful weapon against this deception is for every person to refuse to play along with this ideology. It is the most compassionate thing we can do.

Unfortunately, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and The New York Times have chosen to play along with the deception. The rest of us can and should choose differently. Doing so takes clear thinking, bold, truthful language and moral courage. The restoration of sanity demands this from us.
