Love Refuses To Affirm Confusion
Another fine article by Eliza Mondegreen. She highlights a theme I’ve mentioned for many months now: The Pornification of Western Culture and its sad effect on our young people. Especially our girls. Leading them to seek refuge from their embodied selves.
Some of what’s going on is older than dirt: there’s a tremendous and ineradicable inequality between women and men when it comes to the burdens of human sexuality and reproduction. That’s hard to accept, particularly for girls. It really is unfair. And we’re stuck with it, at least as long as we’re human. As if that weren’t enough to freak out the girls (and more than a few boys), just add porn. Young people today are being sold an image of heterosexuality that is porn-addled to the core, all revolving around the idea that heterosexual contact is inherently exploitative and often degrading and violent. Many of these kids find porn before they ever experience intimacy themselves. No wonder so many run from the real thing or seek refuge in idiosyncratic identities that they hope will exempt them from dynamics they want no part in. If the options presented to you are oppressor or oppressed.
From an earlier post, I wrote:
And for God’s sake, parents, let’s do what we can to keep these girls and boys from viewing degrading online porn. If young girls see that crap they might desire to opt out of “being a woman.” Especially after being “properly” trained in Gender Identity theory from Kindergarten! [See this post for details.]
Smartphones, the Internet, & Social Media are part of the problem too. Take control of the devices you pay for! And ask other parents in your circle to do the same. This matters.

What Are We Doing To Our Children?
Just for the record.
There is a ‘dark’ strain of ‘fluidity’ within some Christian circles.

I’m a Classic Christian and think Gender Ideology is anti-creational to the core. This blog is about “God’s Good Creation.” That’s why I’m writing about Gender Ideology. And “speaking up” as I’m confident Jesus would.
"Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female.'" [Matt 19:4]
If you would like more detail on how my Christian worldview informs my understanding of Sex and today’s Gender Ideology please read the following posts.
