Let’s hope that Biden’s transgender agenda is not adopted in Malta: this is how it is defined by the Catholic Herald.
Biden’s transgender agenda is extreme and inhumane
President Biden has been let out again, this time to inform us that laws preventing the mutilation of the bodies of gender-confused children is, in fact, sinful.
He was criticising Florida’s regulation of transgender medical care for children and its ban on gender ideology in the classroom, calling the measures “close to sinful”.
Biden said in an interview with Daily Show guest-host Kal Penn: “What’s going on in Florida is, as my mother would say, close to sinful. I mean it’s just terrible what they’re doing.”
Although the president did not specify which laws he was referring to, Republican lawmakers in Florida and other states have introduced bills and regulations to protect children from transgender medical interventions and restrict classroom instruction in gender ideology.
This is a classic example of Newspeak, namely labelling something the exact opposite of what it is. In Orwell’s 1984, the “Ministry of Love” was where those who even thought about challenging Big Brother were tortured. The “Ministry of Truth” was a lie machine where Winston rewrote historical records to conform to the state’s ever-changing version of history.
Likewise, Biden is calling compassionate law-making sinful whereas in fact the sin – the grave diabolical sin – is transgender activists pushing gender ideology onto vulnerable children who are struggling with their bodies and lying to them by saying that they can change from a boy to a girl.
Not only is this directly contrary to Catholic teaching, but it is also directly contrary to science. Whatever desperately horrible changes you may make to your body, you will always remain the sex you were assigned at conception – either male or female. You can never change your chromosomes.
It is a horrifying fact that surgeons and activists have been preying on impressionable confused youths in the United States, and that there has been a big increase in transgender “surgery”. It helps that this is a big profit-making scheme, as admitted previously by a medical doctor. Transgender surgery often means performing double mastectomies on girls and castrating teenage boys. “No national data is available, but one study found the number of mastectomies — sometimes called “top surgery” — performed on girls under 18 in California had risen 13-fold in the last decade, with children as young as 12 offered the irreversible operations,” the Daily Mail reported on Monday.
It is the very definition of evil.
It is only in response to this horror, a horror unthinkable even a few years ago, that mostly Republican lawmakers have sought to protect gender confused youth from these irreversible acts of violence against their bodies – acts dressed up as surgeries. Transgender surgery is about as compassionate an act against gender-confused youth as the act of abortion is against unborn babies.
It is ironic that Biden would even attempt to use the word “sinful” in this context. If a Republican used the word when describing the relentless attack on children’s innocence and teenager’s sense of being they would be told to keep their religious opinions to themselves. But it’s fine for President Biden to throw around the word “sinful” even though it is indeed a form of Newspeak, or in simpler terms, an out-and-out lie, both on the science and in terms of the teaching of the Catholic Church.
In Austria, Czechia, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain and Sweden, for example, the minimum age requirement to request sex reassignment surgery is explicitly set at the age of 18. Biden’s relentless pursuit of the transgender agenda makes him a dangerous extremist in comparison.
Biden might be wise to note that even Sweden, which is often held up as a paragon of ultra-liberal virtue, does not think cutting off the breasts of 12-year-old girls is ethical. Further, Finnish medical guidelines are now opposed to most puberty blocking and adolescent transitioning, except in the most severe cases, and then only in a research setting.
The position of the Catholic Church is clear. The Vatican’s Congregation for Catholic Education on June 10, 2019, published a document titled “Male and Female He Created Them”, which rejects the idea that a person can choose his or her gender. Perhaps Biden is just confused, again.
Young people have always struggled with their changing bodies. They should be given the time and space to accept and grow into their womanhood or manhood. They should not be targeted by radical revolutionaries who want to reshape society away from the male and female. The real and only transition is the transition from girlhood to womanhood, and boyhood to manhood. Sometimes it can be scary. It should not be exploited by activists, politicians and those in the medical profession who should know better. Yet again President Biden, the second Catholic President, is pushing an extremist anti-human stance. He deserves our prayers.
