It's Transgender Awareness Month: How Christians Should Respond

It's that time of the year again—November rolls in and with it comes "Transgender Awareness Month," a creation of the activist class who have marked it as a time to turn the national spotlight onto what they perceive as the plight of the transgender community. They're selling it hard as a stretch of thirty days dedicated to drumming up "inclusivity" and social justice for those who fall under the transgender label—a label, let's be clear, that's wrapped in a web of lies and deception.

But let's cut through the noise. "Transgender Awareness Month" is not a benign period of reflection, but a calculated play. Those of us with our eyes open are calling it out as a means to two ends. First, it's about broadcasting a selective set of tragedies to paint this narrative of an epidemic of violence against transgender folks. Now, while any act of violence is a tragedy, the use of these incidents to suggest a systemic crisis is a stretch too far.

Second, this month signals an aggressive campaign to embed LGBTQ ideologies firmly into the cultural landscape. This isn't about opening up dialogue or enriching public discourse—it's about deploying deceptive emotive strategies to leapfrog over critical thinking and entrench gender theory in the minds of the masses.

Switch on the television and there you will find a glossy ad painting the transgender cause as the new moral crusade begging for your unreserved empathy. Scroll through your social media feeds, and they're saturated with a relentless stream of curated content, ready-made to stir up emotions and catapult the transgender narrative to the forefront. This isn't about informing—it's about influencing, shaping public sentiment by default, not by deliberation.

Then there’s the educational arena, where the seeds of these ideologies are sown early and with alarming subtlety. It’s in the classrooms that the line between teaching and indoctrinating begins to vanish. Our youth are not just being taught to read and write—they are being systematically programmed to accept without question the ideologies surrounding gender and sexuality. The material ranges from the overtly obvious to the deceptively subtle, with every tool at their disposal—from picture books to policy—being utilized to foster not just tolerance, but unthinking acceptance of a particular perspective on gender diversity.
