Genesis 1:27 – So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Today I am going to discuss the transgender issue. I graduated from medical school in 1990 and at that time the words sex and gender were used interchangeably. In 2024, according to the Institute of Medicine:
1. the term sex should be used as a classification, generally as male or female, according to the reproductive organs and functions that derive from the chromosomal complement (generally XX for female and XY for male).
2. the term gender should be used to refer to a person’s self representation as male or female, or how that person is responded to by social institutions on the basis of the individual’s gender presentation.
3. the term intersex describes a person whose biological sex is ambiguous. There are genetic, hormonal or anatomical variations that can make a person’s sex ambiguous (Klinefelter Syndrome, Adrenal Hyperplasia).
I am now going to limit the discussion to children (< 18 years of age) which is where the current cultural uproar is based. In my humble opinion, the underlying aim of the parties pushing the transgender agenda in children is to aid in the social breakdown of the family and loss of parental control. This is part of the Marxist plan to be the driver of all aspects of our society. Two areas where the Marxists have gained an upper hand is the medical profession and the educational system. Fortunately, the medical system was dealt a blow by the release of the Cass Review in Great Britain this year. I have included a link to the Cass Review below. Many European countries have now pulled back on the medical and surgical transitioning of minors. In short, what the Cass Review revealed is that there is scant scientific, rigorous based evidence to justify transitioning minors. Additionally, the review found that many minors showing up for care at gender clinics had other underlying conditions that were not being addressed – anxiety, depression, broken families. The National Health Service (NHS) in Great Britain has put a hold on transitioning pending good quality research. A court in Great Britain recently upheld this approach. The bottom line is this – often irreversible strategies were recommended to parents for their children with nothing more than ideology to back it up.
Unfortunately, in the United States and Canada, the medical and educational establishments are pushing full steam ahead. On a positive note here in Ohio, the legislature has stepped up to protect families and minors. H.B. 68 (Save Adolescents from Experimentation/Save Women’s Sports Acts) was recently taken off hold and is now in effect. Make no mistake, the Marxists (ACLU) are still fighting this one tooth and nail. Below is a link to a listing of current legislative issues winding through the halls of Ohio’s legislature which are family friendly.
