Letter: An argument against gender ideology

Yet another splinter in the plank of woke, leftist theory: the cultural assertion that men can become pregnant, that “woman” cannot be clearly defined and that children have the emotional maturity to consent to sex-change operations.

It’s a doctrine suggesting that a woman’s safety and privacy be compromised because a man needs his sexual identity ratified in her dressing room. It’s the demand for the affirmation of men wearing women’s faces, and the insistence that biological males should be included in female sports.

What purpose or value does this abstract absurdity serve our nation? Other than perpetuating a fiction that one can have an emotional identity completely divorced from one’s physical reality. A civilized society does not celebrate confusion and the denial of objective truths. Granting authority to psychology and feelings over material biology is a recipe for further societal chaos.

In the name of social conformity or quiet indifference, many are far too willing to bend the knee to this madness.

To the majority, the ones with common sense and some measure of decency, your silence is complicity.
