How To Eradicate Transgenderism From Public Life
Recent Call to eradicate transgenderism from public life has elicited shrieks and lies at every level of the liberal establishment, from activist organizations and the press — but I repeat myself — all the way up to the White House. Yet, despite a week of defamation and invective, not one substantive refutation has been produced. However, if the liberals had been able to discredit my argument, they wouldn’t have felt the need to lie about anything I said.
Liberals claimed that I had called for my extermination “transgender people,” A dubious ontological classification that still refers to actual persons. In fact, I proposed the eradication. “transgenderism,” A false anthropology and an ideology that weakens society. The liberal news editors were soon forced to alter their headlines due to the libel law. The activists couldn’t defend transgenderism so liberals used their tried-and true tactic of defining words to control politics.
“‘Transgenderism’ Is Just The Latest Example Of Anti-Trans Rhetoric,” BuzzFeed blasted BuzzFeed for quoting a Left-wing activist who claimed that “transgenderism” It is “a phony term made up by anti-transgender activists and used to dehumanize transgender people and target them, their lifesaving healthcare, and access to society.” This alleged phoniness or coinage by conservatives may surprise transgender activists, who BuzzFeed later admitted that they had coined the term decades earlier than it was ever heard of. “anti-transgender activists.” Despite historical contradictions and incoherence, the outlet made its point. Everyone needs to stop talking about transgenderism.
Liberals don’t want us to look at transgenderism as its claims crumble under the slightest scrutiny. Transgenderism holds that a person who has all the physical signs and characteristics of a male might actually be a female. This ideology attempts to explain the phenomenon in different ways. Both the nominalist and materialist versions of transgenderism believe that this unexpected sexual identity results from sheer tyranny. “man” “woman,” And so, surgical mutilation, or even simple assertion, suffices to make someone male, female, or both. Because most people live as if there is more than just matter, this purely willful transgenderism fails. If only! “man” “woman” If they didn’t exist in meaningful categories, then why would anyone go through painful and costly mutilations to look like the other sex?
According to the spiritualer forms of transgenderism, an apparent man may actually be a female because of a conflict in his metaphysical and physical selves: that he is, for instance, a women. “trapped” Inside a man’s body. According to this view, a person’s body has nothing to do with his true identity, which is instead purely metaphysical — the sort of thing we would traditionally call the soul. Is it possible for a person to be one sex in their body and another in their soul?
St. Thomas Aquinas (whose example our civilization has always followed) says no. St. Thomas, who was a follower of Aristotle himself, says that physical entities are made up of both matter and form in a hylomorphic marriage. The soul is the material form of the body. It is the intellectual principle that animates the body. A person cannot have one sex in his body but another in his soul, because the soul does not discriminate between genders. Men and women do not have different kinds of souls because such a difference would mean that men and women constitute different species — a notion that sometimes appears to be the case but is not in fact so. Mars is not home to men. Venus is not home to women. We both come from Earth and are human.
Therefore, sexual difference must be derived from the body and not the soul. It should exist as an unavoidable accident of each individual. The fact that we have a sexual identity is something that comes from our physical nature. Although it does not define us, it is always present for as long as you are an individual. This abstruse philosophical inquiry into the question of our age — that is, what is a woman? — leads us back to the simplest answer that might be elicited from any regular Joe walking down the street: a woman is a person with a female physical nature. A woman is more that her body, but a woman at the minimum is her body.
Transgenderism supporters reject this view of the relationship between soul and body, but they have yet not offered a convincing alternative. It’s understandable why they hesitate. Aquinas, Aristotle and others would need a great deal of confidence to challenge them. Other political movements have tried this, with predictable results. For example, the Albigensians of 11th and 12th century proposed opposition to matter and form. The dualistic, gnostic vision of the Albigensians suggested that two opposing principles created the world. The good principle created the spiritual realm and the evil principle created it.
This anti-materialist movement thrived because ideas have consequences. It redefined marriage and discouraged the practice of child-bearing. It advocated vegetarianism and all forms of food consumption up to the point where it could cause starvation. It promoted divorce, suicide, and eventually the end of the human race. These ideas echo in modern times. In the 13th century, it was stopped by more rational forces. This suicidal movement must have been unchecked and brought to its logical conclusion. Civilization, however, lived on happily for another day.
Some perhaps well-meaning people prefer a laissez-faire Approach to delusional political movements. A pluralistic, tolerant society can tolerate great diversity and eccentricity. However, even the most pluralistic, tolerant society cannot accept everything simply because ideas have consequences and affect others. John Donne, the poet noted that ideas have consequences and those consequences affect other people. “No man is an island entire of himself.” Society is a community that lives together. Societies must reach fundamental conclusions and enforce them through law, custom and culture.
If transgenderism is true — if men might really be women — then women have no right, for example, to their own public bathrooms. If transgenderism is false, as it is, then women might well have the right to their own bathrooms, and men — even men who consider themselves women — have no right to enter them. This is true for single-sex schools and sports teams as well as all other rights and spaces that women enjoyed before the transgender movement.
American law has only recently adopted the incorrect metaphysics of transgender ideologies. The trend was initiated by Barack Obama and North Carolina liberal activists through military policy and bathrooms ordinances in 2015. We already see the poisonous fruits of this trend after only eight years. The skyrocketing rate of transgender identity among children has been castrated and mutilated to confirm false anthropology. “transition” It is a regrettable feeling among children who trusted their teachers, parents, and doctors to not mislead into irreversible injury; the preventable sexual assault of girls by women in women’s restrooms, two of which led an angry public to elect a new governor of Virginia; the theft by men of girls’ scholarships and awards by men who naturally outperform them in every sport;
It is not necessary for society to accept the inevitable disastrous consequences of absurdity. It took only a few changes to the law in our country to eradicate transgenderism in public life. These included the overturning some of the most recent regulations and the overruling a Supreme Court decision that banned civil rights on the grounds of sex in favour of civil licenses on the ground of incoherent. “gender identity.” After longer periods of licensing, civilization has been able to overcome similar rotten ideas. If those ideas are allowed continue to rot, there will be worse consequences. This is the nature and effect of poorly thought out ideas.
