yet these descriptions\u2014cult, social contagion, ideology\u2014fail to capture the uniqueness and enormity of what is happening with the transgender movement. Past and current cults have seduced their victims into losing all sense of reality and embracing bizarre and dangerous beliefs; social contagions and mass crazes have affected large groups of seemingly intelligent individuals; ideologies have taken hold that have altered societies and cost lives. But now we are facing something different.<\/p>\n
Previous cultish or similar social phenomena have generally been limited to some degree by time, space, or eventual return of the senses. But Western civilization is now gripped by a cultural cyclone that is blowing through such limitations with totalitarian force. Transgenderism has shaken the foundations of all we know to be true. Scientific knowledge is rejected and medical practice co-opted in service of a new \u201creality\u201d\u2014that \u201cgender\u201d is independent of sex, that males and females of any age, even young children, are entitled to their own transgender self-identification based only on their feelings, and that literally every individual and every segment of society must bow to their chosen identity at risk of losing reputation, livelihood, and even freedom itself.<\/p>\n
Remarkably, this revolution is happening without any credible scientific evidence to support it. The concept of changing one\u2019s biological sex is, of course, nonsense, as sex is determined by unalterable chromosomes. An individual can change his hormone levels and undergo surgery to better imitate the opposite sex, but a male on the day of his conception will remain a male on the day of his death. And as discussed below, the idea that there is a real personal trait called \u201cgender\u201d that challenges or invalidates the identity significance of biological sex is equally fallacious. But the absence of genuine evidence is simply ignored, and faux \u201cevidence\u201d is created to validate the mania.<\/p>\n
So far. But there are signs of cracks in the grand edifice of transgenderism. As Dr. Malcolm warned in Jurassic Park<\/em>, \u201cLife finds a way.\u201d So does reality. At some point it will reassert itself, and we will ask how this ever could have happened.<\/p>\n Read it all<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201c… there are signs of cracks in the grand edifice of transgenderism.
