A statement by a Canadian Member of Parliament got quite a reaction this week when they offered a new acronym for "LGBT." The acronym is "MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+".It got me to thinking. Have you considered how ... irrational the whole thing is? Think with me about it. At the beginning there was "heterosexual" and "homosexual." The prefixes tell the story. "Hetero" is "other" and "homo" is "same." "Heterodoxy" is having differences in doctrines or ideas. "Heterogeneous" means "composed of different elements." "Homochromatic" means something has the same colors while "heterochromatic" means they have different colors. Not hard to understand. So "heterosexual" means "sex with the opposite sex" and "homosexual" means "sex with the same sex." This isn't rocket science. Or ... is it?
Enter the "LGBT" acronym. Standing for "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender," no one seemed to notice it was confusing at the start. You see, "gay" was co-opted from "happy" to "homosexual" over time, but primarily in the 20th century. It referred to homosexual men and women. So "LGBT" offered us "homosexual ladies and homosexual men" like the gender mattered. Okay ... fine ... except "bisexual" suggests BOTH "heterosexual" and "homosexual." (And no one has yet to urge the government to allow "bisexuals" to have the right to marry BOTH.) And the explicit meaning of "transgender" is ... changing gender. That is, gender is ... today's term ... fluid. "Nonbinary," they call it ... and insist we all recognize it. In which case "lesbian" and "gay" (where "gay" already overlaps "lesbian") become moot and should simply be "homosexual." But ... no. We must continue to define everyone in a binary way as they deny the idea.
To further push this irrational perception, the entire "transsexual" thing seems not to notice that it is still operating on a "binary gender" foundation. When a biological male decides he's supposed to be a female, he'll undergo a variety of procedures to become ... "female." Not "in between." Not "whatever I feel like." A biological female who identifies as male takes on the gender expression of males as if they're ... not binary. They're trying to be male. Binary. Not one and the other, but one or the other. If gender was irrelevant, a biological female who wanted to identify as male could just ... identify as male without doing anything else. They don't ... ever. It's similar to the whole radical feminism thing. In an effort to prove how females are superior to males, they take on all the characteristics of males that they say they hate and prove ... that they're just like males ... as they "affirm" feminism. Contrary to logic.
In the real world of male and female, established by God at the beginning (Gen 1:27), humans are ... binary. It's unavoidable. Changing terms, altering appearances, adding letters to incoherent acronyms ... none of that changes the facts. Biology tells us that males produce sperm and females produce eggs and no amount of "procedures" changes that. History tells us that a phalloplasty doesn't give a biological female sperm production and vaginoplasty doesn't allow a biological male to give birth. Biology matters. So does God's word. But we persist, don't we? And consider the insanity "enlightened" and "rational" ... confirming God's opinion (Jer 17:9; Rom 1:18-21).
And then they started adding confusing letters to a confusing acronym. I've come to the conclusion that the entire purpose of the LGBT movement is to purposefully produce confusion, not clarity. They begin to redefine terms to have no meaning like "queer". Originally it just means something strange or odd. And because homosexuality was strange and odd, they were derisively called queer. Now it has no real meaning, only that in some nebulous and undefined way to not be heterosexual. And now we're saying a word that means something and nothing at the same time, and that's what they want it to do. Normal people call it a contradiction, they call rational and expect you to accept something they can't define. I literally heard one woman say, "Queer is queer." As if that explained everything. We're educating ourselves into stupidity.
ReplyDeleteI was fascinated when they adopted "queer" as their term and "straight" for the heterosexual, a tacit agreement that their way was odd and ours was normal. But, like the "lesbian" and "gay" differentiation that isn't a differentiation, "queer" is in that list of letters ... which is just another way of saying "gay." Confusion on confusion. Some say that movie, Idiocrasy, wasn't a comedy; it was a prophecy. (Having never seen it, I'm not going to comment.)
DeleteYou have certainly thought this through and then expressed it in a very rational manner. I think that many people (at least older folks) can see the insanity of this whole gender matter and mostly laugh off something like this new acronym. Also, enough time has passed now for observers to make fair judgments regarding the legitimacy and success of any transition attempts (none). Personally, I don’t even try to understand the “rationale” behind all this--since there is none!--and I don’t change my vocabulary just to suit them, either. Bottom line: I realize that as a Christian, I should not be surprised that nonbelievers are behaving true to their natures. “Pagans gonna pag,” afterall. Lord, come quickly!
