The beauty of natural rights is that they recognize our own liberties and responsibilities but place no burden upon one another. My freedom of speech doesn't compel you to listen. Your liberty to keep and bear arms doesn't put my law-abiding self in any danger. Our legal rights, as defined by the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th amendments to the Constitution, place serious burdens on the government—due process, speedy trials, etc.—but none on each of us.

The fiction of "trans rights" places a tremendous burden on the vast majority of people whose brains and bodies are in sync. We're forced to play along with the fiction that brains—which learn and grow and change all the time—are what determine our "true" gender. And yet the nature and features of our bodies—fixed at conception by our genetic code—are infinitely malleable, mere plastic to be molded by surgery and drugs to conform to the brain's whims.

The impact on individuals of this fiction has been to deny the right of adolescent girls to survive their awkward stage intact—and there's got to be a special place in Hell for surgeons who butcher the bodies of teenage girls under the influence of this social contagion. "Gender dysmorphia used to be more common in men," Zachary Faria wrote for the Washington Examiner last November, "but with the rise in the promotion of transgenderism and gender transitions on social media, unsurprisingly young women and girls have fallen down the rabbit hole."

Women have lost the right to have their own spaces, their own sports, and even—when you look at the glamorization of pantomime "women" like Dylan Mulvaney—their own selves. Straight men have lost the right to admit we're attracted only to real women... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
