Honesty is always the best policy, whether it be in the university or workplace. But as everyone who has ever lived can attest to, honesty does not always come easily. Especially when a favored political or social policy is at stake. During the cultural revolution of the 1960s, many traditions and social mores were questioned — some rightly and some wrongly. One of those cultural mores was the West’s understanding of proper sexual boundaries. In America, prior to the upheaval of the 1960s, the vast majority of Americans held to views on sex (both sexuality and gender) that have essentially been turned on their head today.
Much of the nation views premarital sex as the norm. Abortion, while remaining a contentious issue, has been the law of the land since 1973. Homosexuality gradually became an accepted practice by much of the mainstream culture leading eventually to the Supreme Court redefining marriage. There’s also pornography and its continuing impact upon Americans. And now Americans are witnessing the steady march of the transgender crusade. The Left views all of this as progress, a maturing of the nation’s culture as it were. What they conveniently seek to ignore are the devastating consequences these culture changes have created. And if they can’t ignore them, they seek to suppress their significance or deny their root cause.

Very interesting article. I would like to highlight that:
ReplyDelete"the steady march of the transgender crusade. The Left views all of this as progress".
The Left embraces science until it doesn't.
I have no doubt that there are a very, very few individuals who feel they belong as members of the opposite sex. In realty however, gender is a scientific matter, XX or XY. I regard this as a psychological matter. For the left to encourage the very young that this is normal, and that transitioning, or gender reassignment surgery is normal is pure insanity.
