Last Friday, the Transgender Day of Remembrance, was a reminder that the Left — and the corporate media in particular — are still completely infatuated with transgender ideology. That assertion may seem completely unrevealing, but for peace-and-homestead-life-loving conservatives, it’s an essential reminder.
Yes, conservatives and Christians have made tremendous gains on the issue during the Trump Administration. The International Olympic Committee’s plan to ban male athletes in female sports, under pressure from Trump, is just one example of many. And his choice to capitalize on Kamala Harris’ pro-trans-procedures-for-illegal-immigrants-in-prison views likely played a role in sinking her campaign.
But the media and the Left just can't let it go, and in fact, are doubling down.
It's an obsession. Or a possession.
After a month of so-called "PRIDE," last Friday, we were once again called upon to set the day aside as a Day of Remembrance of the Transgender movement.
The president has stated that the US will recognize only two genders: Male and Female.
Be informed, not misled.
The modern Left’s fundamental relationship to transgender ideology remains unchanged.
It’s the legitimate child of the sexual revolution, the incarnation of lawless individualism, the apex antagonist of Christian teaching on ethics, sin, and human nature. In other words, it’s a doctrine, a creed, an axiom. The left’s approach to defending that axiom may fluctuate, but the loyalty is unshakeable.
Take, for example, The Washington Post editorial board’s Wednesday response to Health and Human Services releasing an updated version of its report on the treatment of gender dysphoria. Rather than take the typical radical pro-transgenderism approach, WaPo asserted that the report leaves us all stumbling in the dark when it comes to mutilating children, headlining the piece “What we still don’t know about pediatric medical transition.” The paper’s editors can’t help but call into question the study’s obvious conclusion, that “it is not ethical to subject adolescents to hormonal and surgical interventions … even in a research trial, until and unless the state of the evidence suggests a favorable risk/benefit profile for the studied intervention.”
That such a statement could at all be controversial emphasizes just how firmly trans ideology grips the editors at WaPo.
CNN wants to have its cake and eat it, too.
Over at CNN last Thursday, Leah Asmelash was wandering in a similar cloud of pro-trans confounded befuddlement: “The White House wants to eliminate ‘gender ideology’ and ‘trans ideology,’” she wrote. “What does that mean?” What a difficult question. She is lost, bewildered, stumped. After all, “the term ‘gender ideology’ didn’t originate in the US,” and everyone knows how hard it is to comprehend foreign ideas. (Further, Jair Bolsonaro once “decried ‘gender ideology,’” and he’s headed to prison now...)
Of course, the two CNN articles would be incomplete without some sort of “have your cake and eat it too” contradiction. The first quotes a trans-identifying individual who complains that “we’re 1% of the population and 90% of the conversation. … It’s just so ridiculous.” The latter features an “advocate” who says that “in many ways, in our society, trans people are made to feel invisible.” Ah, well, if only people would use the correct pronouns.
The New York Times weighs in.
On Tuesday, The New York Times ran a lengthy puff piece on “the first American diplomat to come out as transgender,” who has since fled to Kazakhstan to escape the imaginary persecutions of Trump. Over in the U.K. this week, media outlets lashed out at a “misogynist charter” that aims to preserve women’s spaces. (Apparently, in all the confusion caused by cross-dressing, “misogyny” is really to blame.) Oh, and for good measure, WaPo and the Times both ran glowing pieces on “gay sheep” and the clothing made from their wool.
I'm not kidding.
Takeaway
Regardless of transgenderism’s declining popularity or the rise of transgender violence, Democrat politicians are in perfect step with the media, as evidenced by Abigail Spanberger’s repeated refusal to say that women should have private spaces in a state where a trans-identifying male sexually assaulted multiple females in Loudoun County schools. Democrats’ dutiful Transgender Day of Remembrance posts are mere confirmation of their allegiance to trans ideology. Regardless of how unpopular the ideology becomes, they will continue to make policy decisions in accordance with that allegiance, the same way the Biden administration continued to leave the borders wide open even as illegal immigration became more unpopular, with devastating consequences for the country.
The left’s love affair with transgender ideology has its own devastating consequences. They’ll proliferate whenever and wherever the left holds power.
Be Informed. Be Discerning. Be Vigilant. Be Bold. Be Prayerful.
