Building Trans AmericaBy Rod Dreher

This is horrifying:
We are in a fight with naked evil. So many powerful people push this evil. So many people who know better are too afraid to stand up and call it what it is. This is not a matter of diversity of opinion; this is Evil.
Mickey Mouse pushes this stuff. The President of the United States, and his party, push this stuff. Far too few Republicans push back at all.
It has infiltrated many churches; many more refuse to say anything about it because they want to avoid controversy. Look at what’s going on with the Catholic Church in Germany, via Edward Pentin’s invaluable reporting in the National Catholic Register. Excerpts:
“The focus is too much on homosexual men!” said Eric Tilch at a panel discussion in Frankfurt last Wednesday hosted by the Diocese of Limburg — the bishopric headed by Bishop Georg Bätzing, president of the German Catholic bishops’ conference.
But Tilch, a Church youth education officer, wasn’t protesting against the homosexual agenda or seeking to uphold the Church’s teaching on marriage and the family. Rather he was proposing the Church accept “other forms of love that are still in the dark,” according to an article on the panel posted on the diocesan website.
“I worry that the Church is too attached to a family photograph from the 1950s, i.e., father, mother, child,” said Tilch. “There is so much more than that, for example hybrid families, changing relationships, polyamorous love [multiple sexual partners].” He also wanted transsexual and intersexual people to be given more attention in public discussions.

There is no avoiding this fight. It will find you, and your church. It will find your kids, and their school. We are quickly moving to a time when anyone who objects to this will be treated by the State as an enemy. It will be here faster than you think.
Meanwhile, here is the rarest thing: a column in a mainstream newspaper (the Washington Post) by a transgendered person who says something other than that transgenderism is the greatest thing ever. It’s actually quite a brave, sad piece by a male-to-female transgendered person named Corinna Cohn. Excerpts:

Cohn had his testicles and penis removed, and now has to spend the rest of his life on drugs and hormones. More:
What was I seeking for my sacrifice? A feeling of wholeness and perfection. I was still a virgin when I went in for surgery. I mistakenly believed that this made my choice more serious and authentic. I chose an irreversible change before I’d even begun to understand my sexuality. The surgeon deemed my operation a good outcome, but intercourse never became pleasurable. When I tell friends, they’re saddened by the loss, but it’s abstract to me — I cannot grieve the absence of a thing I’ve never had.
* * *
Read it all. Cohn doesn’t say outright that he regrets transition, but he does say that at nineteen, he was too young and inexperienced to make such a radical choice. He should have waited until he was older, he now admits.
All these anxious and confused young people are being devoured by this evil cult. This is what America has become. This is what some countries in the world are desperate to prevent themselves from becoming. This is the American Way Of Life™.* * *
