Trendy Sexuality
Family of slain teen seeks posthumous name change
“This is who she was. She’s transgender and she’s Gwen.”
Transgender/Transsexuality is a myth. Gender is something you are born with, and no amount of cosmetic enhancement or mutilation will change that. Cosmetic surgery doesn’t actually provide a male with a vagina or a female with a penis, it mutilates and removes sexual organs in order to fashion crude objects that vaguely resemble externally the organs of the opposite sex. A woman who undergoes a sex-change operation doesn’t have a real penis, nor can she produce semen. A man who undergoes a sex-change operation can never produce eggs or bear a child. A sex-change operation does not change your gender.
Of course, gender is more than just the organs with which you are born, but it is not separate or different from the physical manifestation of that gender either. To say that a person is really a woman even though he is a man by birth is ridiculous and false. If I feel like I should have been born a Cockerspaniel, does that mean I should be allowed to change my species? If I don’t like the fact that I am born a human being, should I be allowed to have sexual relationships with animals? Obviously no.
So why is it that we insist on creating a separate gender category for people who claim something that is clearly falsifiable? Homosexuality has never been proven to be genetic… never. And even if someday it is linked to genetic makeup, we know that some people are genetically predisposed to alcohol - and even criminal behavior - but we don’t say “being an alcoholic is cool” or “feel free to express your criminal disposition in whatever way you see fit, it’s part of who you are.”
The fact is, Hollywood, gay political activists, and certain segments of our Academic/Social elite have made homosexuality “trendy”. They’ve portrayed it as “normal” and acceptable and convinced us that we’re wrong to teach our children otherwise. And they dare us to disagree with them!
Without question, the above article documents a tragic hate crime - and the perpetrators should be justly punished. However, let us avoid being carried away by the emotion and horror of the event into irrational thinking. While the family should certainly celebrate the beautiful life of their child and mourn their loss, immoral behavior can neither be celebrated nor condoned by society or government. No violent crime or even vicious persecution can make wrong, immoral behavior right. I’m sure that Edward Araujo had many good and wonderful qualities to celebrate… his misguided desire to go against his God-given sexual identity was not one of them. My heart goes out to this family who has lost their son… may God comfort them and sustain them.
