The Big Lie of Transgender Ideology
by Joe Bissonnette, Crisis Magazine:
One of the great truths lost in the zealotry of gender politics is that unlike animal sexuality, which is purely instinctive, human sexuality is a combination of instinct and socialization. We are not just “born this way.” Human sexual desire is cultivated. It can be channeled toward beauty, love, and even sublime self-sacrifice, culminating in marriage and the begetting and raising of children. But it can also be seduced into a downward spiral of selfishness and perversion, leading to moral forgetfulness and mind-numbing spiritual indifference.
During the initial stages of the Sexual Revolution there was a more or less simple sexual hedonism. Through contraception, sex was detached from the begetting of children and desacralized from the covenant of marriage. It was presented as a pleasurable end in itself. But of course it could not be simple. A holy thing can never simply be made unholy. Sexual gratification was forced to shoulder a burden it could not bear. It was celebrated as the culmination of self-actualization, but it rang hollow. Eros became the modern god that failed.
The problem, aside from the sin of idolatry, was the human mess. Its fruits were estrangement, loneliness, insecurity and a forlorn despair at the forsaken dream of true love. The hedonism of the Sexual Revolution led to a terrible emotional hangover, not to mention the horrific body count of aborted babies. But the children of the Sexual Revolution were unrepentant, even defiant. And in defiance we became forgetful, tone deaf to the truths about love and marriage, which had informed earlier generations. We became cold, and even lost that romantic aspiration towards the beautiful, preternatural innocence and marital communion described in the very last words before the Fall: “The man and his wife were both naked, yet they felt no shame” (Gen. 2:25). Our sexual natures became a thing of sorrow.
