Over the last decade, Christian conservatives have watched in horror and disbelief as novel ideas, once embraced only by those on the fringes of society, have quickly, seemingly inexplicably, captured “mainstream” western minds, leading to a rapid degradation and deformation of a now increasingly unrecognizable Western culture.
The odd notion of same-sex “marriage,” established as law across the nation in 2015, threw open the door to the even odder notion of transgenderism. Both ignore and trample over observable, immutable truths about the complementarity of the sexes, untethering the meanings of man and woman, father and mother, husband and wife, son and daughter, boy and girl, from nature, from science, and from the wisdom of virtually every secular society and religious tradition around the world for millennia. And it feels like it has happened overnight, as if a plague of willful ignorance – or worse, sheer madness – has swept over the globe between dusk and dawn.
