The transgender movement is pressing its agenda everywhere. Most publicly, activist teachers are using classrooms to propagandize on its behalf and activist health professionals are promoting the mutilation of children under the euphemistic banner of “gender-affirming care.” The sudden and pervasive rise of this movement provokes two questions: where did it come from, and how has it proved so successful? The story goes deeper than most Americans know.
In the late 1980s, a group of academics, including Judith Butler, Gayle Rubin, Sandy Stone, and Susan Stryker, established the disciplines of “queer theory” and “transgender studies.” These academics believed gender to be a “social construct” used to oppress racial and sexual minorities, and they denounced the traditional categories of man and woman as a false binary that was conceived to support the system of “heteronormativity”—i.e., the white, male, heterosexual power structure. This system, they argued, had to be ruthlessly deconstructed. And the best way to achieve this, they argued further, was to promote transgenderism. If men can become women, and women men, they believed, the natural structure of Creation could be toppled.
It is clear from this and from other transgender scholarship that the transgender movement is inherently political. Its reconstruction of personal identity is meant to advance a collective political reconstruction or transformation. Some trans activists even view their movement as the future of Marxism. In a collection of essays titled Transgender Marxism, activist writer Rosa Lee argues that trans people can serve as the new vanguard of the proletariat, promising to abolish heteronormativity in the same way that orthodox Marxism promised to abolish capitalism.

To qualify for these benefits, people dress themselves in a new expression of oppression to become victims of a tyranny formed from their own passions. A person’s freedom then relies upon ascribing to membership within race, ethnicity, class, and gender groups. An elected or self-appointed aristocracy to prescribe a menu of rights and constraints for these citizens become subjects. They then enter Gulags of activist cults and governments where they find dependency and subservience.
We are presented with two views of history, that incredibly compete for attention in this country. We must reject the premises of the cultural Marxist because cultural Marxism itself cannot live peaceably with federal republicanism or individual autonomy, and in fact must replace it.
Karl Marx says, “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle”. This view is limited to what can be observed, measured, or computed. Everything exists within the bounds of infinity. Humanity exists as swarms of creatures identified to be irradicated or dominated. There is no perception or acknowledgement of eternity. In this country some people are able to resolve the principles of Marxism to support the creation of Transgenderism White Privilege, Black Lives Matter, and Critical Race Theory.
The Declaration of Independence says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. In this expression, the Creator reaches into our world from eternity to endow individual humans with inestimable value and to caution government to first consider its own fallibility.
This country needs “a new birth of freedom” to keep faith with the Declaration of Independence and Constitution as the embodiment of the American ideal. Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the blood stream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same”.
The Rapidly Expanding Transgender Cult Is the Product Of Cultural Marxism

Briefly, we must reject the premises of the cultural Marxist because cultural Marxism itself cannot live peaceably with federal republicanism or individual autonomy. In fact, it demands the opposite: All things are constrained by the state and its desires. Rules must be universal. Governing individuals is like herding cats, whereas ruling over a collective molded by both state pressures (law, force) and social forces (shame, shunning) is a more gratifying task, especially because the molding, if done well, creates a populace that reflects back the will of the state to itself. The state is now God, and its citizens, made in the state’s image, are its supplicants.
This insanity must stop. But I am afraid it won’t stop until these modern Dr. Mengeles, and their enabling politicians are literally dragged into the streets and publicly executed. Only widespread fear of righteous retribution will end this evil.
For a long time I was agnostic about transgenders. I accepted they had a severe mental illness and were dealing with it in their own way.
Today I am repulsed and disgusted by them since they have become so ‘in your face’ and demanding everyone accept them as the gender they want to be recognized as rather than the gender they are.
Sorry Charlie. That tuna won’t fly.
Living a lie doesn’t change the facts. Demanding others accept their fantasy with them is simply unacceptable. That might work in their small circle of “friends, family, and acquaintances but not in the real world.

After this decision, activists targeted leading individual researchers such as Dr. David Reuben, and Masters and Johnson to ensure perpetual sanctity for the APA action. Psychology and Psychiatry chose to relinquish any attempt at scientific rigor for popular societal and political acclaim. Their DSM became a refuge for drug marketing brochures and political manifestos.
What is the real reason they want to “abolish heteronormativity?”
It is a war against GOD. They may tout their “Marxism” goal. But that is just what they think is a more acceptable way of saying they must abolish Christianity because in essence Christianity is FREEDOM. What Jesus accomplished on the cross set us free if we only believe. And to believe is to accept and follow what Jesus taught … the very opposite of all that Marxism stands for.
