Fathers, Mothers, and Gender Ideology
Why telling your children that you're their father when you're their mother is wrong
The idea of father and mother is inborn—ingrained in us so deeply that we know it even before we become conscious of it.
Children know what a father and mother are supposed to be. Millions of years of procreation and child rearing make a clear distinction of the roles that parents play. A newborn child unconsciously recognizes the role provided by the parents, and is not even limited to birth parents, but anyone who properly fulfills the mother and father role.
How, in our modern age where women “identify” themselves as men, can children recognize the parent without confusion? Is it even possible for a woman to fulfill a father’s role and vise versa? Our biology and evolution would likely make it impossible for there to be a complete role reversal. Some women might take on a protective role, while their partner takes on a nurturing role. As long as the child gets what it needs for healthy development, it really shouldn’t matter who does what role.
But what happens when adults start telling kids that there is no distinction between men and women? What happens when a woman claims that she is the child’s father? How does that affect a child?
There could be many reasons why telling a child that you’re their father when you’re really their mother is wrong, but perhaps the fact that you’d be lying to your child is reason enough. Your self-image or how you identify doesn’t matter to the child. Trying to convince them that you’re not the sex you were born as is the beginning of indoctrination into gender ideology. No matter how much you convince yourself, taking hormones, having surgery, and dressing differently will never make you a member of the opposite or a different made-up sex.
I previously stated that it doesn’t matter who the parents are, whether they’re not the biological parents, are homosexual, or otherwise; as long as the child has all of their needs tended to and is loved, nurtured, and protected, then they should have a healthy development. That changes once you start lying to them. That changes once you start to teach them that there is no such thing as sex and that gender can be whatever feelings feel right in the moment. Now, you’re affecting the healthy development of a child. Now, you’re stripping away the concrete facts of life and reality as they have been for millions of years. All that is going to accomplish is utter confusion and unnecessary suffering.
There is already evidence that suggests that cross-sex hormones can have negative side effects that drastically alter a person’s health. So what happens to a developing child in the womb of a woman who has altered her hormonal state by taking testosterone? I’ve heard some stories on social media of women saying that they have had to stop taking the hormones during pregnancy, but I still wonder if there aren’t other potentially dangerous side effects that could affect a developing child.
I believe that anyone can live their life as they please. If you want to impersonate someone of the other sex, or live life as someone with an undefined sex, be my guest. But when the truth of what’s happening is buried behind a wall of emotional delusion, there lurks danger and confusion that can have a profound and irreversible influence on those too young to understand—those who need a concrete sense of the world as they develop.
People want so desperately to be recognized for their self-image and are going to incredible lengths to make it so everyone is forced to recognize them. That is why ideologues are targeting children. They want to impose their delusional beliefs on those who are impressionable so that they may feel validated in their self-created image. Again, do whatever you want to do, but don’t force it on other people.
If you’re someone who wants to dissociate from the sex that you are in any way, you should seriously consider the implications of that choice in regards to having or wanting a family. Telling your child that you’re their father when you’re really their mother is going to cause issues, whose consequences we have yet to see. But I suspect that growing up without a solid sense of reality can present difficulties that range from minor confusion, to outright neurosis, which will then be subsequently “treated” by pill-pushing doctors and quack therapists.
Children are the real victims of gender ideology, and I believe that the consequences are only seeds being planted at the moment. The real damage has yet to be seen, and that honestly makes what’s happening now all the more terrifying.
