A friend asked a thoughtful and penetrating question: “How does a ‘trans woman’ know what it feels like to be a woman, so that he can verify that he is a woman based on his feelings?” It is a simple question, yet it exposes the soft underbelly of gender ideology, which claims subjective feeling is…
Will child assent to gender affirmation procedures lead to legalized pedophilia?
