Love for our neighbours cannot mean we support, indirectly, the radical, untested, and dangerous sex change treatments which will ensure young people are life-long medical and mental health patients.

Churches today are sorely distracted by the poison arrows coming at us from our state governments through laws that impede our ability to function independently and biblically. Our first response is often to attempt to turn legal somersaults. Then we settle down to argue over godly obedience, civil disobedience, or faithful disobedience (as in China).

Each of the hate speech laws, diversity, equity and inclusion laws, work health and safety laws, religious vilification and gender laws or possible climate emergency laws has its own history and progression, but Victoria’s gender-focussed transition laws are especially pernicious. Their reach extends across the entire globe, and penalties involve heavy fines or imprisonment. It is now illegal in Victoria to discuss, counsel, advise or pray with persons with gender confusion or an intention to begin transition, except to affirm them, even if they ask you for help.

The Change or Suppression (Conversion) Practices Prohibition Act derides Scripture and sets itself up in direct opposition to God. It denies the truth of God’s good creation, threatens his people, and defies the reality of the created human body, made in the image of God.

It deliberately distorts language and meaning, forcing us to adopt new words and different understandings, transporting us by stealth into alien territory. The intention is to force us to think in these new and alien words and concepts, and eventually to act in accordance with them. This will leave us defenceless, since we have willingly made this shift from sound, rational, historical meanings and understandings.

Not surprisingly, the law perches on a platform of ideologies: Marxism, humanism, atheism, Gnosticism, feminism, queer theory, and gender critical theory. Biology and anatomy have become slaves of this ideology that re-interprets sex as something separate from gender, and asserts that gender is non-binary, uncertain, fluid, and assigned at birth rather than revealed at birth.

Preschool aged children are being told this, and schools everywhere now are ensuring that sex education refutes the traditional belief that gender accords with chromosomes, asserting that we need to teach gender fluidity. We are told there are 58 (and counting) gender terms – agender, bigender, trigender, demigender, demifluid, demiflux, pangender etc., and we are to believe that a significant number of people are not really male or female but either, or neither, or both, or fluid. Many insist we all exist on a gender spectrum, somewhere between male and female.

What we are witnessing is a perverse and unrestrained ideological revolution conjured up and promoted by influential philosophers, feminists, critical theorists, certain academics and activists, and Marxists. The shift that’s jolting us is contrived, and aggressively pushed by people with an agenda that they are far from coy about acknowledging.

One who is upstream from this is the French intellectual/philosopher Michel Foucault, who sexually abused young boys while a teacher, advocated the normalisation of the gay sub-culture, sodomy and pederasty, and no age of consent. He died of AIDS in 1984. Another profound influence on gender ideology is John Money who was a psychologist and sexologist, with a PhD from Harvard, professor at Johns Hopkins University for many years and considered to be the founder of gender theory and the trans movement. He was the first to seriously posit that a child is not born with a fixed biological sex but is a blank slate at birth, his sex determined by his rearing. Money conducted a catastrophic experiment on twin boys to prove his theory about gender, which ended with both men taking their lives.
