Many people who advocate for the acceptance of gender fluidity will point to the historical practices associated with Cybele, Inanna, and others in order to prove it has been a socially acceptable movement for thousands of years. Yet our answer to this issue remains simple and predates all other arguments—God created two genders: male and female (Genesis 1:27). All the modern-day speculation about numerous genders or gender fluidity is foreign to the Bible. What is not foreign to the Bible is the existence of demonic forces, many of whom are the powers behind idols and false gods.

The recommendation, sent to ASPS’ 11,000 members on Feb. 3, urged surgeons to delay “gender-related breast/chest, genital, and facial surgery” until a patient is 19 years old, since “there is insufficient evidence demonstrating a favorable risk-benefit ratio for the pathway of gender-related endocrine and surgical interventions in children and adolescents.”
“It’s so hard to face that you are disfigured for life,” Varian said at the trial. “No amount of reconstruction is ever going to bring back what I lost.” The case could set a precedent for other individuals who underwent gender transitions and are seeking legal remedies, and doctors may adopt caution to avoid legal risks with malpractice.
Many people today are honestly asking what the Bible says about being transgender. The Bible does not use the word “transgender,” but it does teach about God’s design for sex, identity, and truth. The Bible starts with creation, and creation is important to God.
Sonja Shaw, Chino Valley Unified School board president who has fought Assembly Bill 1955 since its introduction, celebrated the announcement on social media, posting, “Children belong to families, not the state. God-given and constitutional rights are worth fighting for!!”
A recent opinion piece in The New York Times claims, “Americans are turning against gay people.” A host of similar articles—with perhaps less provocative titles—appeared in other news outlets highlighting the findings of two research psychologists who claim that since 2020, “support for gay people [has begun] to ‘sharply reverse’”—especially among young people.
More hospitals and health systems announced they are stopping the chemical and surgical mutilation of children with sexual identity confusion. Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, Lurie Children’s Hospital in Arlington Heights, Illinois, and Children’s Hospital and UW Health in Wisconsin said they would no longer offer puberty blockers, opposite-sex hormones and surgeries to minors.
The LGBTQ worldview is permeating our secular schools (and, sadly, even some “Christian” schools). Secular schools (e.g., public schools in the USA) are not neutral. The Bible says you’re either for Christ or against. And when you build your thinking on man’s word instead of God’s Word, then ultimately anything goes. And we’re seeing that happen now throughout the secular anti-God education system.
The Colorado General Assembly is threatening parents’ rights if they oppose “transitioning” their child to a new “identity.” In cases where parents divorce or separate, Senate Bill 26-018 mandates that courts take into consideration whether or not a parent supports a child’s “identity as it relates to a protected class” when “determining parenting time and allocation of decision-making responsibility.”
I have begun a research project on the BBC’s coverage of conversion therapy. Looking through more than 30 articles published over the last ten years, it is completely clear that the corporation’s output is not remotely balanced or impartial. It needs to change. This is the first line in the sand. If we continue to see editors signing off on biased representations of this important and politically relevant topic, we will continue to hold them to account, with each infraction demonstrating their brazen attitude towards truth.
Cissie Graham Lynch, who hosts the “Fearless” podcast and is a senior advisor at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, attended the oral arguments and is calling Christians to stand up for truth in the case. “I hope these cases help wake Christians up,” Lynch said. “Believers can’t stay on the sidelines anymore."
“This proposal seeks to clarify that hospitals participating in our programs cannot conduct these unproven procedures on children,” said CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz in a press release. “CMS will ensure that federal program standards reflect our responsibility to promote the health and safety of children.” The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, is led by the attorneys general of New York, Oregon, and Washington.
Did you know Australia no longer has a biological definition of ‘man’ and ‘woman’ in federal law? No wonder our nation is confused. This isn’t an abstract legal glitch. It’s a cultural earthquake and we’re all living in the aftershocks. When the law deletes biological reality, it reflects something deeper: a nation rejecting God and rejecting truth.
This was four men “marrying” each other. This was not a legal ceremony as polygamy is not legal in Germany, but the clergywoman said it was “marriage in the eyes of God.” But it is no such thing since God defines marriage as one man for one woman and calls the relationship these four men have with each other an abomination (Leviticus 20:13) and evidence of God turning them over to “dishonorable passions” and then to “a debased mind to do what ought not to be done” (Romans 1:26, 28).
“Nearly all U.S. hospitals participate in Medicare and Medicaid and this action is designed to ensure that the U.S. government will not be in business with organizations that intentionally or unintentionally inflict permanent harm on children,” the HHS press release stated. “Sex-rejecting procedures on children—which include puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical operations—expose them to irreversible damage, including infertility, impaired sexual function, diminished bone density, altered brain development, and other irreversible physiological effects.”
The order properly explained, "This policy is inconsistent with the medical, surgical, and mental health constraints on individuals with gender dysphoria. This policy is also inconsistent with shifting pronoun usage or use of pronouns that inaccurately reflect an individual’s sex."
“Puberty blockers, and the cross-sex hormones that so often follow them, are highly dangerous drugs that can cause long-lasting damage to children—impacting their bodily development, bone density, mental health, lifelong fertility, and more,” explained Miller. “It is scandalous to expose children to these drugs, and it is scandalous to silence and jail those who speak out about it. No one should fear arrest for defending children’s safety.”
In order to continue with semester registration, students must achieve “a perfect score,” which requires them to answer in ways that align with gender ideology, including that “failing to use one’s self-declared trans pronouns or protesting the presence of men in women’s restrooms constitutes a hostile environment and qualifies as harassment.”
While Poland’s justice minister confirmed that the government will implement the ruling, the office of President Karol Nawrocki declared that Poland “will not succumb to the terror of rainbow rulings.” If the EU deems Poland in violation of implementing the ruling, the country could face ongoing fines until it complies.
It is one thing to feel sorry for an adult who made a decision to mutilate their own body. But today, children are often put on the path of gender transition very early. A child could start to be “socially transitioned”—i.e., called by an opposite sex name, encouraged to wear opposite sex clothes, and be referred to as the opposite sex—as early as the toddler years. This is usually called harmless and reversible, but it puts into motion a series of events that is, in practice, rarely halted.
“Science, when pursued honestly, eventually catches up to biblical truth,” Perkins posted. “This new federal report confirms what many have long warned—that rushing vulnerable young people into irreversible procedures was driven more by ideology than evidence. It vindicates every parent, pastor, doctor, and policymaker who refused to bow to the deception of this age.”
These men, who dress like women and call themselves “dolls,” work hard to ensure that women have no private spaces and that men who say they are women are treated just like women—which means there’s really no such thing as a woman at all! That certainly doesn’t sound like they are making the world “a little bit better and brighter for women.”
Without the biblical worldview, eventually everything ends in inconsistency and absurdity because, as Romans 1:22 puts it, “Claiming to be wise, they became fools.” This was perfectly highlighted in an exchange that took place in San Diego on Halloween night and was caught on video.
Obergefell is legal fiction pulled out of thin air that jeopardizes the religious liberty of countless Americans who believe in God’s definition of marriage. Obergefell’s days are numbered, and we will not rest until it is overturned. Until then, we must pray, fight, and contend for when Obergefell is no longer the law of the land.
“The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to deny the petition for certiorari in Davis v. Ermold is heartbreaking for Kim Davis and for religious freedom,” the organization’s founder and chairman Mat Staver said in a statement.
The U.S. Supreme Court handed the Trump administration a win on Thursday, allowing the Department of State to require that passports identify people based solely on their biological sex, not their “gender identity.”
"May Lau has done untold damage to children, both physically and psychologically, and the surrendering of her Texas medical license is a major victory for our state. [But] my case against her for breaking the law will continue, and we will not relent in holding anyone who tries to 'transition' kids accountable."
Nowadays, it’s not so rare — nor so shocking — to hear of the latest stories of female athletes forced to compete against — or courageously refusing to face — biological males identifying as women. We can be grateful for an administration that has confronted this radical ideology, and for the growing chorus of voices unafraid to call out this madness. Yet, beneath the surface lies a deeper, more urgent question: what lies at the heart of this cultural phenomenon?
“Kim Davis’ case underscores why the U.S. Supreme Court should overturn the wrongly decided Obergefell opinion because it threatens the religious liberty of Americans who believe that marriage is a sacred union between one man and one woman.”
However, there’s no doubt trans ideology was enthusiastically promoted by the previous administration, and now that this has changed dramatically, we see a change in younger generations identifying as transgender. This tells us something about what the real issue is—and it’s certainly a spiritual one.
“This case isn’t about books; it’s about public officials telling an employee that he isn’t allowed to express a view that differs from their own,” said ADF Senior Counsel Tyson Langhofer, director of the ADF Center for Academic Freedom. “Our legal system is built on the truth that the government can’t silence a speaker just because it disapproves of what he says."
The class description for Khubchandani’s class on “Queer Ethnography” is very revealing. “This class introduces students in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies to ethnographic research methods as they pertain to exploring questions of bodies, pleasure, power, and desire,” the website reads, without defining “women.”
“Clearly it is, at least in some cases, a fashion,” Mohler said. “It is popular. You’re unpopular. You want to be popular in a peer group. Well, adopt an LGBTQ identity. And then all of a sudden, you’re a protected class.” Mohler brings in an argument some LGBTQ advocates have formerly rejected but are now using themselves—that cultural whims, not biology, are driving much of how people identity.
