At this point, I do not see an actual meaningful difference between ignorance and evil since the former is the lapdog to the latter of the two.

I was reminded of this during an important talk presented in the cafeteria of the Paul Cuffee Middle School hosted by the Servants of Christ for Life. It was an illuminating talk by transgender de-transitioner named Katie Anderson. The event far exceeded its projected attendance numbers, forcing the event organizers to put out several extra rows and columns of chairs to accommodate the late influx of attendees.

The talk itself detailed Ms. Anderson’s atypical gender expression as a tomboy growing up, inevitably falling for predatory gender transitioning industry to mutilate her with drugs and irreversible surgery, and finally her escape from it all by coming to know God and how He does not make mistakes in how he creates us in the womb.

As the popular adage goes, “No one is born in the wrong body.” God does not lie to you about who/what you are and does not want you to live the self-lie of outward deceit about it. Or else how can anyone reach their full potential if it isn’t wrapped in the Veil of Truth rather than the Shroud of Lies?

Editor’s note: Watch Katie’s moving story now!

Now, don’t misconstrue my attribution of evil in my opening sentence to Katie or even so much the money-grubbing demons in the gender transition industry. No. I’m referring to a quartet of young gender-captive ideologues (two being young transgender women.) One in particular, who evidently did not come to learn, was confrontational and too often bombastic in his dialogue with the speaker once it was time for the audience Q&A.

I sat near and behind this little cult group, and I’ll confess — I was nervous about them from the get go for three red flag reasons:

1. They looked to be high school aged, the age demographic that the majority of people tend to fall within this whole gender nonsense.

2. They weren’t dressed respectfully, how you present yourself at events like these tends to convey how seriously you take them.

3. When we opened up the event with the Lord’s Prayer, none of them performed the Sign of the Cross nor prayed along with us.

Thankfully, they did not stand up in unison at any point in it to try and shout down the speaker as is the M.O. these days. I believe the Far-Left has caught on to the shift in the cultural tide that people are starting to not take it anymore. These individuals kept parroting the same talking points that we’ve all heard already around this topic, often self-contradicting and misogynist at their roots. Whenever the Ms. Anderson tried to answer their questions with a thoughtful and logical rebuttal, they refused to let her finish making her point, constantly interrupting her in the process instead of finishing hearing her out. Their behavior even forced one of the event organizers to have to interject to reprimand them in order to keep the Q&A on track.

Afterwards, the same provocateur young man from the gender quartet got into a conversation with a well put together gentleman who to his credit tried to engage with this thoroughly indoctrinated lad in a more in-depth conversation of transgender women’s versus real women’s rights within the prison system. I know this only because I decided to eavesdrop on their conversation from behind the young man and his friend in their group.

At first the gentleman tried to get the young man to concede that culture plays a significant factor in shaping how people behave by using rap as an example. He said how the music industry can be predatory. He used this as an analogy for the current gender bending craze, since it is indeed the latest fashion trend being pumped out by big business. The analogy was good but sadly didn’t end up going anywhere, because the young man discounted culture’s influence on people, like the detrimental effects rap culture has had on the African-American and other communities in our nation. The young man instead argued that people’s cultural preferences exist as an expression of inborn tendencies to them, essentially reducing people down to biological essentialism. (The irony!)

Then the conversation took a turn to the topic of trans women within real women’s prisons. The gentleman brought up the infamous cases of trans female inmates impregnating other female inmates as the most obvious reason why biological men should not be allowed to intrude within women’s spaces for the sake of women’s safety. The young man’s stance on the issue was misogynistic as he argued that it is better for trans women to be held within real women’s prisons even at the risk of raping and impregnating them because he felt it is more common for trans women to be raped within men’s prisons. The young man flippantly added that we can just pay for such female victims to have abortions and provide trans men with condoms like any other health product. I don’t know how the other gentleman managed to keep his composure, let alone decide to not end the conversation there.

To the gentleman’s credit, he did try to meet the young man halfway with a third option that would protect all parties in this scenario, similar to the female sports debate, in just building trans-exclusive prisons. The young man actually laughed at this proposal saying how building whole new facilities would be way more costly than just funding for abortions and condoms.

So, instead of a sensible solution of keeping specific individuals separate from each other to prevent harm, this young ideologue believes women have to suffer for the sake of deranged men’s feelings. You would not necessarily need to build entirely new facilities at all; just reappropriate existing ones.

The gentleman actually backtracked a little to meet the young man where he was suggesting that men with gender identity issues could be allowed in real women’s prisons under the condition that they have had genital surgeries done first. The young man retorted that trans hormone therapy already makes these men infertile, unwittingly confirming everyone else’s fears about such “therapies” for children. The young man even followed up with adding a truly asinine comparison that to stop hormone therapy for trans individuals is akin to denying cancer treatment to cancer patients.

I don’t think the young man understood several things. One, women do not have penises by evolutionary design, two, hormone therapies have been linked to increasing certain health risks, three, no one will die from coming off of needless hormone therapies, and four, the added costs of having to subsidize hormone therapies for such inmates in addition to the condoms and abortions he wants to fund too.

Just keeping biological men away from women entirely seems like the most common sense cost-effective option here. Then again, no one ever accused a liberal of understanding economics well either.

I don’t know who this young man thinks he is being kind to; the confused men he encourages to be confused and deformed through drug therapies or the real women he feels just have to be the victims of said men. He is failing both with his warped worldview. Gender ideology breeds evil through stupidity. Plain and simple.

God, protect us from current generations if this is what they truly find to be an acceptable way to run the world.
