Speaking of PBS' Frontline, I strongly recommend that people
watch the latest episode entitled 'Growing Up Trans'.
It is profoundly disturbing and not an easy watch. Aside from
the medical ethics and other disturbing aspects of what is taking place, the
real import (and shocking at that) is in the mindset of the parents, doctors,
and peers. The societal shift is happening at a rocket speed and like it or not
we must deal with it and pray for wisdom in knowing how to do so.
While we do not lament the fall of cultural Christianity
there is a new generation rising that will not even possess some of the most
basic moral instincts with which we can communicate and seek common ground. We
will literally be starting from zero.
These parents are so utterly lost. I don't know how else to
put it. Rather than be parents they pander to the whims and implanted notions
of small children and foster self-fulfilling prophecies. They have placed the
happiness of their children above everything... everything.
And of course, the end result is anything but. There's one brief
appearance of a physiologically altered female to male who admits it did not
solve its problems. Even the new body it admits, is not real, it's not genuine.
It is a tormented soul and one that will likely self-destruct.
Even the parents who resist are weak and misguided in their
resistance. They have failed their children and did so early on.
It's no wonder so many of these lost souls end up suicidal.
What judgment on a consumer culture and the narcissism it has produced.
Children are born sinners but in one sense we may rightly
speak of their innocence and how it has been lost! Even listening to these kids
talk I am confused and disturbed. Why are they talking about these things? Why
are they even thinking about them? I did not have a particularly innocent or
carefree childhood but I did not speak about these types of things and would
have failed to understand the categories. They speak like adults but they are
not.
It is unnatural.
It was ironic that the one parent was a bit bothered by the
frank discussion of the medical personnel regarding the effects of hormone
treatment on her daughter with regard to 'vaginal' sex. It was a bit much for
such a young child... but it's not 'too much' for the same girl to decide that
it wants to be a man?
Total schizophrenia.
