Gender Ideology is a War Against Creation

One of the issues that lead me into the Catholic Church was the Left's hatred of the natural order. When I was a progressive wannabe-activist I was very uncomfortable with the entire issue of "transgender" rights. I intuitively understood the real issue: that there is no such thing as a 'transgender' person, just people in deep need of mental health assistance. For the Left, to believe such things is heresy, as science is merely a social construct and is fluid, just like gender. 


Bishop Henry of Alberta, Canada, has rightly labeled the move by the New Democratic government to push gender ideology on students of that province as totalitarian."“The issues are not just about bathrooms, plumbing and urination, parental rights, safety of children, how people feel, GSAs [gay-straight alliances] and an imperfect Bill 10. What is at stake is the very order of creation.” Gender ideology is an attack on the order of creation itself because we can see at the most fundamental level evidence for a logic to creation. Everything is ordered. We see it in the structure of cells, the uncompromising nature of the laws of physics that make life on Earth possible but almost impossible anywhere else and, most importantly, we see it in the DNA of every human being. Our DNA determines our gender or sex (a false distinction if ever there was one) and no personal feelings will ever change that.

The Left has determined that liberty means ordering creation unto ourselves. To bend the world to fit our own perception. This is an expression of the ultimate logic of what Pope Benedict XVI called 'The Dictatorship of Relativism.' According to this view, EVERYTHING is relative, including science and the order of creation. This despite the fact that if modern medicine were to treat gender as fluid then the practice of medicine would not be able to function properly. 

Pope Francis, in a rare moment of absolute clarity, denounced 'gender ideology' as 'demonic.' "The Pope has received backlash from the LGBT lobby for criticizing “an academic perspective that sees gender identities as a spectrum rather than as binaries.” Basing himself on Biblical theology, the Pope has declared that God creates people as “male and female,” rather than an ever expanding spectrum of contrived pseudo-sexual genders." From the womb we are either male or female.

The word conception is revealing. At the moment of conception a human being is conceived. Conceived. Conceived. Man is an idea that is conceived in the mind of God, which is expressed in the womb of our mothers. God has total knowledge of who we are at the moment we are created. He knows our potential better than we likely ever could. While we are free to make choices about any number of ideas, choosing our gender defies both science and the natural order. Pope Francis called gender ideology demonic because at its core the movement rejects this concept entirely. Only I know myself and can change myself into anything I want, is the logic of the regressive Left. Gender ideology further separates man from God by denying the essential nature that God gave unto man.


Before God's wrath comes upon people he first allows them to go mad. In the story of King Nebuchadnezzar in the Book of Daniel we see the king erect a false idol for worship. Three Hebrews refused to worship and were cast into the fiery furnace as punishment, only to be protected by  God because of their faith. Later the king, after releasing them and having a change of heart, had a dream of a giant tree that puzzled him. Daniel, one of the three Hebrews, explained that his dream symbolized the king's pride and foretold of the fall of his nation and many nations thereafter due to his immense pride. Not long thereafter the king went mad, living like an animal for a period of seven years. Today, our culture and societies are going mad in the same way. Our immense pride, coupled with prosperity even in times of economic struggle have wrought a collective insanity that threatens not only the order of creation but our own social stability.

Gender ideology is a war against reality. St. Thomas Aquinas and those who built on his work long after his death would, in the early 20th century, refute gender ideology before it was conceived in the minds of the cultural Marxists. Perception begins in the mind, and never leaves the mind. It fails to grasp the only certainty we have: reality, the ordered creation. The ability to identify people based on sex is a primal, natural and normative function of reason. As man is a creature of reason gender ideology is not only unreasonable but functionally a rejection of reason.
