Gender ideology, with its audacious claim that biological sex bows to subjective whim, is a wrecking ball smashing through truth, family, and society. It peddles a fiction: that countless individuals are born in the “wrong” bodies, requiring medical mutilation to “fix” what evolution perfected over millennia. When parents of dependent children are egged on to “transition,” the fallout is catastrophic—not just personal, but existential. This isn’t a debate; it’s a societal suicide pact demanding fierce, unflinching resistance.
Shattering Children’s Worlds
Children, fragile and tethered to parental stability, are shattered when a parent’s identity shift obliterates their world. Hormones, surgeries, or social reinventions don’t just alter a parent—they fracture the child’s sense of security. Clinical psychologist Dr. Erica Anderson, herself transgender, warns of a “social experiment with unknown outcomes” for these vulnerable kids (Anderson, 2021). A 2020 study in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry confirms this, documenting spikes in anxiety, depression, and identity confusion among children of transitioning parents. Prioritizing an adult’s ideological fantasy over a child’s emotional bedrock isn’t progress—it’s betrayal, pure and simple.
Demolishing Family Bonds
Families, the crucible of human connection, disintegrate under this ideology’s corrosive weight. A parent’s transition often torches marriages—Brown and Marlowe’s 2020 study notes a 60% divorce rate in such cases, with spouses and children grappling with emotional wreckage (Journal of Family Social Work). The ideology’s fetish for individual affirmation over collective duty rips apart interdependence, leaving children caught in loyalty conflicts and spouses facing unrecognizable partners. This isn’t liberation; it’s a familial debacle—a slow-motion implosion of the bonds that sustain us.
Corroding Institutions
Society’s institutions—schools, hospitals, public health bodies—buckle as gender ideology infects them. The Cass Review (2024), a damning UK investigation, exposed the Tavistock Clinic’s gender-affirming protocols as ideologically driven, not evidence-based, jeopardizing patient safety. Similar scandals, like those involving NHS trusts prioritizing activist demands over clinical rigor. When medicine and education forsake reason for dogma, public trust corrodes. This isn’t inclusion—it’s a betrayal of the empirical foundations that anchor civilization.
Defying Biological Reality
Biologically, gender ideology is utter bollocks. Human sexual dimorphism, refined over millions of years, ensures survival through clear male and female roles. Claims of mass “body mismatches” are baseless—intersex conditions occur in under 0.5% of the population (Sax, 2002). If pervasive dysphoria were innate, humanity would have joined Neanderthals and Denisovans in the evolutionary dustbin. Yet, we’re told the most advanced species can’t navigate puberty without carving up healthy bodies? Absurd. This ideology spits on evolutionary resilience, peddling a delusion that demands surgical fixes for psychological distress. The stakes are existential: either we reclaim material reality, or we watch society unravel—child by child, family by family, institution by institution.

Domestic violence. Not acceptable, not ever.
“TW DOMESTIC ABUSE ——When [an abusive man] tells me that he became abusive because he lost control of himself, I ask him why he didn’t do something even worse. For example, I might say, “You called her a fucking whore, you grabbed the phone out of her hand and whipped it across the room, and then you gave her a shove and she fell down. There she was at your feet where it would have been easy to kick her in the head. Now, you have just finished telling me that you were ‘totally out of control’ at that time, but you didn’t kick her. What stopped you?” And the client can always give me a reason. Here are some common explanations:“I wouldn’t want to cause her a serious injury.”
“I realized one of the children was watching.”
“I was afraid someone would call the police.”
“I could kill her if I did that.”
“The fight was getting loud, and I was afraid the neighbors would hear.”And the most frequent response of all:“Jesus, I wouldn’t do that. I would never do something like that to her.”
The response that I almost never heard — I remember hearing it twice in the fifteen years — was: “I don’t know.”
These ready answers strip the cover off of my clients’ loss of control excuse. While a man is on an abusive rampage, verbally or physically, his mind maintains awareness of a number of questions: “Am I doing something that other people could find out about, so it could make me look bad? Am I doing anything that could get me in legal trouble? Could I get hurt myself? Am I doing anything that I myself consider too cruel, gross, or violent?”
A critical insight seeped into me from working with my first few dozen clients: An abuser almost never does anything that he himself considers morally unacceptable. He may hide what he does because he thinks other people would disagree with it, but he feels justified inside. I can’t remember a client ever having said to me: “There’s no way I can defend what I did. It was just totally wrong.” He invariably has a reason that he considers good enough. In short, an abuser’s core problem is that he has a distorted sense of right and wrong.
I sometimes ask my clients the following question: “How many of you have ever felt angry enough at youer mother to get the urge to call her a bitch?” Typically half or more of the group members raise their hands. Then I ask, “How many of you have ever acted on that urge?” All the hands fly down, and the men cast appalled gazes on me, as if I had just asked whether they sell drugs outside elementary schools. So then I ask, “Well, why haven’t you?” The same answer shoots out from the men each time I do this exercise: “But you can’t treat your mother like that, no matter how angry you are! You just don’t do that!”
The unspoken remainder of this statement, which we can fill in for my clients, is: “But you can treat your wife or girlfriend like that, as long as you have a good enough reason. That’s different.” In other words, the abuser’s problem lies above all in his belief that controlling or abusing his female partner is justifiable….”
