Episode notes
HHS Report Aligns with Creation Order
- The Trump administration's HHS report concludes pediatric gender dysphoria treatments lack adequate evidence for benefit and show clear evidence of harm.
- This aligns with a Christian worldview affirming biological sex and creation order as fundamental.
Medical Profession's Ideological Capture
- The medical profession underwent ideological capture by LGBTQ activists starting in the 1970s, reversing views on homosexuality.
- Similar pressure is now influencing transgender issues, but pediatric treatment hesitations remain more prominent.
Public Pushback Reflects Creation Order
- Public opposition has been the first major barrier to transgender policies, especially regarding sports and privacy for children.
- This reflects an innate recognition of creation order, even if people do not explicitly name it.
