Transgenderism Two

Evidence and Identity

By: Francis Etheredge

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Over the course of a number of years, the author has gravitated to a question which has come to the fore more and more: Can a person change his or her sex? What seemed like an occasional, anecdotal questioning, has emerged as a major crisis, especially among young people and their families. But, what is more, this is not an abstract question; it has profound implications for the health and well being of many people, many institutions, and society as a whole.

As we explore the roots of this phenomenon we begin to realise that it has grown out of an anti-woman feminism which goes back decades and which, like a virus, has spread far and wide, residing in many institutional policies, mentalities, and encroaching upon justice in the workplace and in society generally. But, going further than describing the extent and nature of gender ideology, an idea that has been imposed on people and societies, it is necessary to examine its explicit or implied philosophy. For, with respect to an increasing number of young people, often girls, it is leading to the life-changing destruction of healthy sexual organs which, in some cases, are replaced with “facsimiles” of the opposite sex.

Drilling down, then, into human identity entails focusing on the depths of the human person, the crucial sensitivity needed to aid each young person with his or her formation. But, in view of the society in which we live, this book is also about being informed about the social context in which questions of identity are being asked and answered.
