Ok, folks. God is revealing truth every minute of every day these days. THAT is how you KNOW we are at the END.. Because many things even GOD said have been sealed up until the END. The enemy also has had secrets we were not able to uncover all these centuries. Some available to the chosen few and no one else. BUT NOW!!! It is all unraveling. They are being exposed.
You know when I first started walking by the SPIRIT and God called me to spiritual warfare, there was not much available as resources. I searched and searched. Of course we did not have PCs at that time. The ONLY place I could read the book of Jasher or the Book of Enoch was in a special room at the Library where they were chained to a desk. When I got my first computer, I started to search for resources which were still few and far between. EXPOSING SATANISM was one of the very first sites I found that was revealing truths about the enemy. Very shortly I found myself voluntarily editing for that site. then contributing to the content. I served there for years, then Jon opened the opportunity for me to have this webpage to share what GOD was revealing to me. I am so thankful for EXPOSING SATANISM and JON and all the work that he has done keeping the TRUTH going forth.
TODAY, for anyone who wants to find the TRUTH, it is out there. It takes time and effort, but you can find it when you follow the SPIRIT of GOD.
There is so much, no one person can keep up. If you are not already fully in the fight… JUMP IN!! You will never regret it. The things that God will reveal to you will amaze, thrill, excite, incite and bless you. Your relationship with Him will grow by leaps and bounds.
I am here to tell you that everything that happens in the earth, whether good or evil, has a spiritual source. Today we are going to get a very clear picture of the demonic spirit behind the transgender/gender fluid movement in our nation and really around the World. By the end of this post, you should have no doubt.

The Militant Homosexual Movement
There are SO MANY militant homosexual movements, and they have a stronghold over the teacher’s union, NEA, National Education Association. “Gay Pride” T-shirts are okay in schools yet “Straight Pride” is banished. Michael Swift wrote in the Gay Revolutionary, reprinted from the Congressional Congress:
“We shall sodomize your sons, the emblems of your feeble masculinity of your shallow dreams and vulgar lies. We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms, in your sports arenas, in your seminaries, in your youth groups and in your movie theatre bathrooms, in your army bunk house in your truck stops, in your all male clubs and in your houses of Congress, wherever men are men together. Your sons will become the puppets of our bidding. We will recast them in our image and they will come to crave and adore us (sound like Romans 1?). We shall write poems of love between men, we shall stage plays in which men openly caress men, we shall make films about the love between heroic men which will replace the cheap superficial sentimental, insipid, juvenile, heterosexual infatuations presently dominating in your cinematic screens. We shall rise in a vast private army to defeat you. We will conquer the world because warriors inspired by, and banded together by homosexual love and honor are invincible. The family unit, the spawning ground of all lies, betrayals, hypocrisy and violence will be abolished. The family unit, which only dampens the imagination and curbs the free will must be eliminated. All churches that condemn us will be closed. Our only gods are handsome young men. One of the major requirements of a position of power in this new society will be the indulgence in this Greek passion and any man contaminated with heterosexual lust will be automatically barred from positions of influence. All males who insist on remaining stupidly heterosexual will be tried in homosexual courts of justice and will become invisible men.”
When I heard David T. Moore read this clip just a few years ago, I thought this couldn’t happen any time soon. But LOOK at what World Net Daily reported on January 24, 2002 by Diana Lynne. “Lawmakers ‘sanction’ use of district-approved porn.” OPT YOUR CHILD OUT OF SEX-ED NOW!!! And yet protest! Who wants their child in a high school locker room shower with a bunch of boys that are told to try homosexuality?
Additionally, 9th graders were assigned books in public school which contained abundant profanity, graphic sexual and homosexual content, violence and drugs.
Again, Christians are commanded to love everyone, of course this includes homosexuals. Christ would welcome them and rejoice! God invites us to come as we are, and none of us were without sin. But we object to the MILITANT gay movement indoctrinating our children. Everyone knows anal intercourse is NOT healthy. BlessedCause encourages all parents to sue schools that insist on teaching such behavior to impressionable youth. May God lead us to protect our children and future grandchildren as much as we can. Pray for revival!
Saints, God said it would be like this just before Jesus came. Last one out, you won’t need to turn out the light, it will just leave with you. Pray that your unbelieving friends and family receive Christ! Many of these ‘lawmakers’ honestly don’t know any better, how could they, they don’t know the Holy Spirit. Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus.

On Monday, Obama shared an image that had been taken five years ago when he was in office, following the court’s ruling to legalize gay marriage. On Monday, Obama tweeted a picture of the White House lit by rainbow colors, with the message: “Today reminds us that progress might be slow. It might take decades.
“But no matter what things might look like today, it’s always possible. Happy Pride month, everybody,” Obama added.
The White House was bathed in rainbow colors following the ruling on June 26, 2015 making same-sex marriage legal. The decision inspired former first lady Michelle Obama and the couple’s daughter Malia, to secretly join the public to celebrate the landmark decision, which she described in her book, Becoming.
The former president’s tweet on Monday came hours after a ruling by the court that under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, gay and transgender people were protected against employment discrimination based on sex.
Justice Neil Gorsuch, who was the first appointee to the court by President Donald Trump, wrote in the majority opinion that “the answer is clear. An employer who fires an individual for being homosexual or transgender fires that person for traits or actions it would not have questioned in members of a different sex.”
“Sex plays a necessary and undisguisable role in the decision, exactly what Title VII forbids,” he added.
The 6-to-3 ruling had tussled over the meaning of the word “sex” within the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibited discrimination because based on gender.
The Trump administration had intervened in the case arguing that firing gay or lesbian employees would not be discrimination because workers of both genders “would be similarly situated—and they would be treated the same.”
However, Gorsuch’s ruling concluded: “It is impossible to discriminate against a person for being homosexual or transgender without discriminating … based on sex.”
Trump said that “we live with the decision of the Supreme Court,” which he described as “very powerful”, adding, “But they have so ruled.”
Many took to Twitter to praise the ruling. Taylor Swift tweeted: “We still have a long way to go to reach equality, but this is a beautiful step forward.”
Evan Wolfson, founder of Freedom to Marry, said of the ruling, according to NPR: “One big lesson from this opinion is don’t give up. You have to believe that you can change things.”
In a display of complete disrespect for what the White House represents, President Barack Hussein Obama lit the W.H. up like a Christmas tree to celebrate the SCOTUS ruling on gay marriage.
Obama declared that, “Today, we can say in no uncertain terms that we have made our union a little more perfect,” Obama said.
Before that, Obama tweeted using the hashtag “#LoveWins” and the White House account changed its logo to an image of the White House seal covered in rainbow colors, bearing a resemblance to the actual building’s appearance Friday evening.
I wonder how this will play out in the dozen states that still have anti-sodomy laws on the books 10 years after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled they are unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court ruled in Lawrence v. Texas in 2003 that it is unconstitutional to bar consensual sex between adults, calling it a violation of the 14th Amendment.
One such state is Louisiana, where gay rights groups contend police have used anti-sodomy laws to target gay men. But state lawmakers sided with religious and conservative groups in refusing to repeal the law last week.
Of 14 states that had anti-sodomy laws, only Montana and Virginia have repealed theirs since the Supreme Court ruling, said Sarah Warbelow, legal director for the Human Rights Campaign, a national gay rights organization.

The White House was lit with the colors of the rainbow Friday night in honor of the Supreme Court’s ruling that marriage equality is a constitutional right throughout the country.
“Tonight, the White House was lit to demonstrate our unwavering commitment to progress and equality, here in America and around the world,” the White House said in a statement. “The pride colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community, and tonight, these colors celebrate a new chapter in the history of American civil rights.”
Many other landmarks were illuminated in gay-pride colors overnight as the LGBT community and its allies celebrated the historic ruling.

Earlier Friday, President Barack Obama said in a speech from the White House Rose Garden that the decision reaffirmed that all Americans are entitled to the equal protection of the law.
The commander in chief said the ruling was a victory for Jim Obergefell and the other plaintiffs in the case, gay and lesbian couples, the children and families of same-sex couples and the allies who have worked for marriage equality for decades.

In this week’s Dispatches from The Secret Library, Dr Oliver Tearle explores the symbolism of that perennially popular flower, the rose Roses are sometimes known as the queen of flowers, and they are perhaps the richest in symbolism, whether in Christianity, classical myth, or modern (especially romantic) literature. But the symbolism of roses is a curious topic, because red and white roses have attracted such starkly different connotations. Rose symbolism in classical mythology In Greek myth, roses are closely linked with Adonis, the lover of Aphrodite (equivalent of Ishtar). One day, Adonis was gored by a wild boar during a hunting trip and died in Aphrodite’s arms as she wept; the first red roses were said to have sprung up from his blood as it soaked into the earth, staining the nearby white roses a deep crimson. This helps to explain how red roses came to be inextricably linked to romantic love (and adorn millions of Valentine’s Day cards every year): the idea is that such love transcends death and lives on beyond the lovers’ own short lives. The Romans even had a festival (didn’t they always), named Rosalia, which was celebrated on various days in May and June every year in the Roman calendar and involved paying tribute to the spirits of the dead; roses figured heavily in the festival, as the name suggests. And speaking of festivals, Dionysian festivals in ancient Greece and Rome often featured roses, which were worn as garlands because roses were thought to prevent drunkenness. And if you were knocking back the wine in honour of Dionysus (or Bacchus in Roman times), you probably needed something to ward off a stupor. As Hans Biedermann observes in his informative post on rose-symbolism in The Wordsworth Dictionary of Symbolism: Cultural Icons and the Meanings Behind Them (Wordsworth Reference), this is probably how the rose came also to symbolise discretion. To this day, the Latin expression sub rosa (literally, ‘under the rose’) denotes something said under the veil of secrecy. The rose in Christianity Many pagan elements of nature symbolism are mirrored by Christian symbols, and this is true of the symbolism of roses: much like Adonis’ blood spilling into the earth and creating the first roses, so in Christianity, the rose symbolises Christ’s blood shed at the Crucifixion. In both Christian and pagan tradition, then, the rose is closely related to the idea of resurrection and rebirth. In ancient Greece, it was a common custom to lay roses upon graves for this reason. The mystical community known as the Rosicrucians even took its name from the Latin for ‘rose’ and ‘cross’, with its symbol being a cross (specifically, a saltire) with a rose in each of the four corners and a fifth rose in the centre. Later, as the Virgin Mary became a more central focus of Christian worship, she became associated with the rose, and was often depicted surrounded by them. spacer About: Rosalia (festival) – DBpedia |

THE UNIVERSAL ANDROGYNE In the Secret Doctrine of the Rosicrucians, we find the following Third Aphorism: The Third Aphorism The term “Hermaphrodite” is defined as: “An individual which has the attributes of both Male and Female.” The term is derived by joining together the two names, viz., Hermes and Aphrodite. The term came into ancient use through the legend of Hermaphroditus, son of Hermes and Aphrodite, who, while bathing, became joined in one body with the nymph Salmacis. The term “Androgyne” is defined as: “An individual possessing the attributes of both Male and Female; a Hermaphrodite.” The term is derived from the combination of two Greek words, viz., “Andros,” meaning “a man,” and “Gyne,” meaning “a woman.” The conception of the Bi-Sexuality in the Universal Manifestation, or Universal Being, is one met with on all sides in the ancient esoteric and occult philosophies in all lands. In ancient Greece, in Ancient India, and in Ancient Atlantis, Persia, and Chaldea the doctrine formed an important part of the Inner Teachings. In its highest forms, this teaching lay at the very heart of the Ancient Mysteries, and resulted in the very highest and noblest conception of the dignity and worthiness of Sex. But prostituted by the vulgar popular mind, encouraged by a debased priesthood, the same teachings were inverted and made to serve as the basis of the various degenerate phase of Phallic Worship, the traces of which are found on every page of ancient philosophical or religious history. The Rosicrucians have never countenanced even the slight descent into Phallicism, but, on the contrary have kept alive the Flame of the True (Pagan) Teaching, and have used its particular symbol as the distinctive symbolic name and emblem of the Order. In order to understand the symbology of the Universal Androgyne, it is necessary to first become familiar with the two ancient symbols of Sex. In all the ancient philosophies and religions, we find that the “Cross” (+) is the symbol of the Male; and the “Circle” (O) the symbol of the Female.
In representing the Bisexual, the Hermaphrodite, the Androgyne, the two symbols, i.e. the Cross and the Circle are combined in one of several ways. The original way was that of placing the Cross within the circumference of the Circle (symbol of Mammon); but later usage preferred the various forms of the so-called “Phallic Cross,” which consists of the Circle, or Oval, sustaining the Cross (The Ankh, Egptian key of life. Originally belonging to An/Anu the sky God. Anu, theoretically the highest god ) which depends downward from it. (See illustrations.) Sometimes the Cross is represented as the letter “T”, and the Circle as the letter “O”. The well-known esoteric symbol, the “Swastica” (see illustration) consists of a modified Cross, conceived as a “whirling wheel” (something like the familiar spinning “pin wheel” of the boys’ fireworks.) The whirling Cross of the Swastica, when seen in rapid motion, presents the appearance of a Circle enclosing a Cross. This symbol of the “Circle enclosing the Cross” is one particularly sacred to the Rosicrucians, since to them it represents the Universal Activity and Universal Creation, symbolizing the Great Mystery of Occult Generation on all planes of Life. In the fanciful symbology of the ancient Rosicrucian Brotherhoods, the Circle was transformed into the Rose, and the Cross sometimes transformed into the Sword with its Cross-like handle. The sign, then, of the Cross (or Sword) combined with the Circle (or Rose), symbolized the Mystic Union of the Rose and the Cross, from whence arose the name of the Order, i.e. Rosi-Crucian, meaning “Rose-Cross.” The Third Aphorism states: “The One became Two. The Neuter became Bi-Sexual. Male and Female the Two in One evolved from the Neuter. And the Work of Creation began.” In this Aphorism there is given the “hint” at the very important teaching of the Rosicrucians concerning the Universal Sex Principles in Nature the presence and activity of the Sexual Pairs of Opposites, Male and Female, which constitute the Secret of Creation. According to the Secret Doctrine of the Rosicrucians, there are present in All-Creation the activities of a Male Principle and a Female Principle, both Universal in Nature, Character and Extent both Opposing Aspects of the World Soul which act and react, one upon the other, and thus produce all Creative Activity and the “Cosmic Becoming” or Universal Activity and Change. And the teachings also are that these Two Sex Principles operate and manifest upon every plane of Life, from the Sub-Mineral, on to the Mineral, on to the Plant, on to the Animal, on to the Human, or to the Super-Human, on to the Angelic or God-like. And, likewise, that in every Thing in Creation there is present and manifest the activity of Sex. The above statement of the Universality of Sex may seem somewhat surprising to the person who has not acquainted himself, or herself, with the Ancient Wisdom of the Esoteric Schools; or who is not familiar with the daring conceptions of advanced modern science. But to that one who has mastered the ancient wisdom-teachings, and who has likewise become acquainted with the best of modern advanced scientific thought, there will seem nothing strange about these statements. The ancient teachings taught positively that there was present and active Sex in all manifested Creation; and Modern Science is beginning to teach that the evidence of the presence of Sex in every Thing is conclusive. The ancient teachings, which were later embodied in the early Rosicrucian teachings, held that in order that there might be Becoming, Change, or Creation, there must be Re-action following Action the play of one force on another. And the best teachings of the ancients were that these two opposing forces in Nature were Masculine, and Feminine, respectively dual aspects of the Universal Being. And Modern Science is fast coming to recognize and teach the same great truth. The best teachings of modern science is that there is a stimulating or fertilizing activity in nature which acts upon a generative force, the latter reacting upon the former. And, at the other end of the material scale, we find the teaching that the atom (once supposed to be the ultimate form of matter) is now discovered to be composed of a multitude of electrons, corpuscles, or ions (different names for the same thing) revolving around each other at a tremendous rate of motion. It was formerly supposed that the electrons simply revolved one around another, and that all were alike in character and nature; but the later discoveries show that the formation of the atom is due rather to the action of numerous circling positive (or “male”) electrons around a central negative (or “female”) electron, the positive (or “male”) electrons seemingly exerting a peculiar effect upon the negative (or “female”) electron, causing her to put forth certain energies which result in the “generation” of the atomic structure. This is in perfect accordance with the old Rosicrucian doctrine that the “positive” pole of magnetism and electricity (for both were well known to the ancient alchemists) was “masculine,” and that the “negative” pole of the same was “feminine.” But, unfortunately, the terms “positive” and “negative,” respectively are used with the wrong implication and much confusion results therefrom. For instance, the term “positive” is used to indicate strength and reality, as opposed to weaknesses and unreality of the “negative.” But the real facts of physical science show us the falsity of such an interpretation of these terms. The so-called “negative” pole of the battery is really the pole of generation or the production of new forms and energies the best authorities now prefer to use the term “the cathode pole” in place of “the negative;” the word “cathode” being derived from the Greek word meaning “descent; the path of generation,” etc. From the “cathode” pole of the battery emerge the great swarms of electrons, ions, or corpuscles; and from the same pole also emerge the wonderful “rays” which have played such an important part in modern physics. The “cathode” pole of the battery is the Mother of all that strange brood of new forms of matter which have appeared to confute the old materialistic theories, and to destroy the old conceptions of science. The “cathode” pole should, in reality and truth, be called the “female” pole; and the “positive” the “male,” for such terms truly represent their true respective offices. Modern science also teaches that the electrons which are “composed of negative (female) electricity,” frequently becomes detached from its male companion corpuscles, and starts on an independent career. It seeks a union with a masculine corpuscle, and gaining it a new set of creative activity is begun. When the female corpuscle unites with the new masculine one a strange phenomenon occurs; the corpuscles began vibrating and circling around each other, and the result is the birth of a new atom in which is combined the masculine and feminine energies in some particular proportion. The atom, thus formed, does not manifest the properties of free electricity but manifests an entirely new set of properties. The process of detachment of the feminine electrons is called “ionization;” and arising from such detachments and the formation of new unions result the varied phenomena of heat, light, electricity, magnetism, etc. In the same way, the varied phenomena of “chemical attraction” and “chemical affinity” arise from the manifestation of Sex on the atomic plane, though science has not as yet perceived this to be the truth. Science teaches that there are “marriages, divorces, and re-marriages” among the atoms, but it hesitates to go further and assert that this is a part of the universal Sex manifestation but this announcement must come in time for the evidence is overwhelmingly convincing.
The explosive properties of certain substances really result from a “divorce” of the atomic and molecular parties the detachment of the male and female particles under the influence of a stronger attraction; and the formation of the different substances result from the attractive unions of certain male and female elements of matter. Alchemy has always known this to be a fact; it remains for modern science to corroborate and reaffirm the “vagaries” of the old alchemists regarding this important fact of nature. It has always been admitted by science that there was Sex manifest in plant-life as well as by animal-life, but the mineral-life was not given the benefit of the manifestation of the universal principle of Sex. But recent discoveries have forced upon scientists the fact that in the crystallization of minerals there is an unmistakable evidence of the presence and activity of Sex, and in the near future it will be found that all the other changes in minerals are the result of Sex-attraction or repulsion. And, as we shall see in a subsequent chapter of this book, there is present the activity of Sex on the mental planes of life. In short, on each and every plane of Life, physical, mental, or spiritual there is found present and active the Universal Principle of Sex, in some of its phases and forms. Sex cannot be escaped in Nature the Universe is Bi-Sexual, and all Creation, on every plane, is caused by Sex and Sex only. (WOW, what horrendous deceit!!) A full understanding of this important fact would revolutionize the conceptions of modern science, and render practicable many important ideas which now exist merely as dreams in the minds of the advanced scientists. To those who cannot see this plainly, we would say: It is admitted that all physical and mental phenomena depend for activity upon the Law of Attraction. When it is discovered that the law of Attraction proceeds along the lines of Sex, and Sex alone, then it is seen that all activity is Sex-Activity. Had the World-Soul remained Neuter, there would have been no Universal Manifestation or Creation. It was necessary that the Principle of Sex should appear, in order that Creation should begin. It is only by the constant and continuous action and reaction of the Two Sex Principles in Nature that Creation, Process, Becoming, and Change is possible and as all Things are but the products of Change, Process, Becoming, and Creation, it follows that without Sex there would have been to Things in the Universe and in that even the World Soul would have abided apart, alone, and single until the end of its days. With the introduction of Sex came the beginning of Generation and Creation, under which the One became the Many and Sameness became Variety and Diversity. The ancient teachings furnish the only logical explanation of Creation. The One becomes the Two, and from the Two proceed the Many. (What outrageous Blasphemy! To the unsaved mind, no doubt, this could make sense. Because God CREATED Man, and saw that it was not good for Man to be alone HE CREATED woman. GOD COMMANDED that we be fruitful and multiply.

“And this ruling is a victory for America. This decision affirms what millions of Americans already believe in their hearts: When all Americans are treated as equal we are all more free,” Obama said.
Sarah Kate Ellis, the CEO and president of GLAAD, told Yahoo News — during liveblog coverage of the nation’s reaction — that she was thrilled the ruling came ahead of New York’s world-famous gay pride parade this weekend.
“I was thrilled beyond belief. It was a long time coming. I felt that it shows that our love is important, equal and should be protected as well. I feel that it was a phenomenal ruling,” she said over the phone.

en Heerwig, an assistant professor of sociology at Stony Brook University, who has co-authored scholarly works on the subject, says that Supreme Court ruling brings the nation’s law up to speed with majority opinion in the United States, which has become steadily and rapidly more liberal on the issue of marriage equality in recent years.
“The past decade or so has seen the most pronounced changes. There are variations in attitudes of different ages. As millennials have come of age there’s been a striking shift in opinion on gay marriages,” she said in an interview with Yahoo News. (A generation fully indoctrinated and automated.)
Many companies — from American Airlines to General Electric — showed support for gays and lesbians by switching their profile pictures on social media to versions that incorporate the rainbow pride flag.

Countless people across the world took to the Internet to celebrate the decision. The final section of Justice Anthony Kennedy’s opinion went viral and was widely lauded for saying gays and lesbians do not disrespect marriage but want to find fulfillment through it themselves:
“No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than they once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their pleas is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. The Constitution grants them that right.” (They have proven that is not their motivation. Nothing ever stopped them from having a life partner. They want to destroy the family and marriage.)
CBS News pointed out that the first time it tackled the issue of same-sex couples was in 1967 with the televised documentary “CBS Reports: The Homosexuals.”

At the same time that they are totally disrespecting the US National Flag, burning it and pulling it down from flag poles they are hoisting the flag of abomination.
In it, the host, acclaimed journalist Mike Wallace, said that the mere notion of homosexuality repels most Americans.
“A CBS poll shows 2 out of 3 Americans look on homosexuality with disgust, discomfort or fear,” he said.
The very notion of rights for gays and lesbians was brand new for most people when the program aired. It predated the Stonewall riots in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City — often credited with sparking the gay liberation movement — by two years.
But, for many Americans, the most salient sign of how much our country has changed was emblazoned on the first family’s home in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. (Thank you OBUMA, king of CHANGE in the USA!)

Ishtar | Goddess, Worship, & Facts | Britannica
Ishtar
Ishtar’s primary legacy from the Sumerian tradition is the role of fertility figure; she evolved, however, into a more complex character, surrounded in myth by death and disaster, a goddess of contradictory connotations and forces—fire and fire-quenching, rejoicing and tears, fair play and enmity. The Akkadian Ishtar is also, to a greater extent, an astral deity, associated with the planet Venus. With Shamash, the sun god, and Sin, the moon god, she forms a secondary astral triad. In this manifestation her symbol is a star with 6, 8, or 16 rays within a circle. As goddess of Venus, delighting in bodily love, Ishtar was the protectress of prostitutes and the patroness of the alehouse. Part of her cult worship probably included temple prostitution. Her popularity was universal in the ancient Middle East, and in many centres of worship she probably subsumed numerous local goddesses. In later myth she was known as Queen of the Universe, taking on the powers of An, Enlil, and Enki.
Revelation 17:1-18Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk.” And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: “Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth’s abominations.” |

Ishtar was the prototype for the Greek Aphrodite and Roman Venus and a host of other deities—and was identified with the planet Venus as the morning and evening star. The Bible equates the worship of pagan deities with the worship of demons (Deuteronomy 32:16-17; Psalms 106:35-38; 1 Corinthians 10:20). And it’s intriguing to see that Scripture refers to Satan in his rebellion as Lucifer, the morning star (Isaiah 14:12). The devil is the real personage behind the false deity.
The Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary mentions the androgyny or gender ambiguity of Ishtar in its note on Deuteronomy 22:5 (2009, Vol. 1, p. 493), citing an enlightening source we now turn to—Gender and Aging in Mesopotamia: The Gilgamesh Epic and Other Ancient Literature by Rivkah Harris (2000).
Ishtar, Harris explains, “is androgynous, marginal, ambiguous . . . She is betwixt and between . . . Central to the goddess as paradox is her well-attested psychological and physiological androgyny. Inanna-Ishtar is both female and male . . . [in one place stating] ‘Though I am a woman I am a noble young man’” (pp. 160, 163).
She shattered all gender and socioeconomic distinctions—being both a royal queen and “the harlot of heaven . . . set out for the alehouse” (p. 166). And in all this she was the role model for her followers. Among her powers was this from a Sumerian poem: “To turn a man into a woman and a woman into a man are yours, Inanna” (p. 160).
In the Descent of Ishtar we are told of some participants in her cult: “The male prostitutes comb their hair before her . . . They decorate the napes of their necks with colored bands . . . They gird themselves with the sword belt . . . Their right side they adorn with women’s clothing . . . Their left side they cover with men’s clothing . . .” (p. 170). The revel and competition ended in a bloody spectacle of self-cutting (compare 1 Kings 18:28).
Harris states: “Their transvestitism simulated the androgyny of Inanna-Ishtar. It was perhaps the inversion of the male/female binary opposition that thereby neutralized this opposition. By emulating their goddess who was both female and male, they shattered the boundary between the sexes” (pp. 170-171). This was seen as a way of rising above the prison of the flesh.
Weeping For Tammuz
The biblical book of Ezekiel mentions, with great disapproval, an ancient Near Eastern ritual associated with the death of Ishtar’s husband Tammuz. As recorded in the Bible, God points Ezekiel toward a temple: “Then He brought me to the entrance of the gate of the Lord’s house which was toward the north; and behold, women were sitting there weeping for Tammuz.” This is described in the Bible as an “abomination”—an all-female ritual in which the priestesses mourned the death of Tammuz for forty days.
Interestingly, some historians have suggested that the Christian practice of observing Lent—a period of forty days of prayer and penitence before Easter—stems from the ancient forty-day mourning period for Tammuz. Both Lent and the mourning for Tammuz precede a resurrection. (Lent is not Christian. It is part of Roman Church’s rituals.)
The other well-known myth of Ishtar concerns her descent to the underworld (land of the dead) and the sacrifice of her husband Tammuz (pronounced TAH-mooz, also known as Dumuzi). In this story, Ishtar decided to visit the underworld, which was ruled by her sister Ereshkigal (pronounced ay-RESH-kee-gahl), perhaps to seize power there. Before departing, she instructed her follower Ninshubur (pronounced neen-SHOO-boor) to seek the help of the gods if she did not return.
To reach the underworld, Ishtar had to pass through seven gates and remove a symbol of her power—such as an article of clothing or a piece of jewelry—at each one. At the last gate, the goddess, naked and deprived of all her powers, met her sister Ereshkigal, who announced that Ishtar must die. She died immediately, and her corpse was hung on a stake.
Meanwhile, the god Enki (pronounced EN-kee) learned from Ninshubur that Ishtar was missing and sent two messengers who restored her to life. However, in order to leave the underworld, Ishtar had to substitute another body for her own. The goddess offered her young husband, Tammuz, to take her place. This tale of death and rebirth was associated with fertility and linked to the seasons and agricultural cycles, much like the story of Persephone (pronounced per-SEF-uh-nee) in Greek mythology. In another version of the story, Ishtar travels to the underworld to rescue Tammuz, who has died, and manages to bring him back—but only for part of each year. Thus the death and rebirth of Tammuz is also linked to fertility and agricultural cycles.

The most highly venerated deity in Ancient Mesopotamia was Inanna, who was also known as Ishtar after the two were merged. She was known as the Queen of Heaven and was the goddess of sex, war and justice. She also was believed to have the ability to change a person’s gender. This power of Inanna’s, the ability to change a man into a woman and vice versa, is well accounted for in multiple poetry fragments and is indicative of the existence of people living outside the gender binary in ancient Mesopotamia. The words of Enheduanna, Inanna’s High Priestess in the city of Ur in the 23rd Century BCE, attest to this. In her Passionate Inanna she writes: ‘To destroy, to create, to tear out, to establish are yours, Inanna. / To turn a man into a woman and a woman into a man are yours, Inanna.’ (115-131). The exact meanings of the original Sumerian cannot be known for sure; the passage could instead relate simply to gender stereotypes, but this is not the only instance of ancient references to people living outside the gender binary.

In fact, individuals living outside of the gender binary were heavily involved and associated with the cult of Inanna, and her cult members and priests were known for their androgyny and blurring or destroying the gender binary. The gender-blurring members of her cult have often been included in poems and dedications written for her, often with Inanna personally transforming the gender of her devotees. One such example is the pilipili, a group of cultic performers in Inanna’s Sumerian festivals. The name pilipili is referenced within Passionate Inanna (80-90) in relation to an individual named pilipili who is transformed by Inanna. They are raised as a woman, the Sumerian for young woman (ki-sikil) being used to describe them, and Inanna blesses them, handing them a spear ‘as if she were a man’ and renames them ‘pilipili’. From this point forward they are referred to as ‘the transformed pilipili’. We cannot know for sure what the word ‘transformation’ means in this context, and especially since Sumerian did not use gendered pronouns it is difficult to reconstruct the exact meaning, but one interpretation is that through the blessings of Inanna, the pilipili transitioned into a man. Even if Sumerian did not use gendered pronouns, the possible phallic connotations of the word ‘spear’ add more weight to this theory.
In Sumerian times, priests for Inanna known as the gala (hmm, is that why they want to be called “gay”?) were said to have been created by the god Enki to sing laments for her, one of their central roles in her temple. From the beginning of the Old Babylonian Period, their role was heavily expanded, and mourning rites originally sung by women replaced over time by members of the gala. Men who joined the priesthood in devotion for Inanna became women for all intents and purposes, adopting female names and singing in the Sumerian eme-sal dialect, reserved for feminine speakers to render the speech of female gods. The gala were heavily involved in her temples, performing elegies and lamentations, presiding over religious rites and healed and looked after the sick and poor. They were respected members of the community, closely related to the care of their community. The possibility of the gala undertaking ritual castration has been suggested frequently, but there is little evidence to support this – and regardless it would not be confirmation or validation of anyone’s gender identity. We cannot make assumptions about the gender identity of all of the gala, of course. There were gala who were cisgender women and others who were married to men or women with children. This could be due to gala priests being associated with multiple gods and only the gala of Inanna were living possible trans lives, or perhaps the gala were a group with a huge range of sexualities and gender identities, much like our own society today.
Other ancient texts offer further insights into the blurring of gender by the followers of Inanna. In the Sumerian version of Inanna’s Descent to the Underworld, Enki sends two emissaries to rescue the goddess Inanna from her sister Ereshkigal’s underworld, called the kurgarra and a galatar. Both are names for members of the cult of Inanna. The galatur is simply a junior gala. For further clarification on the role and identity of the kurgarra we must turn to a text of Enheduanna’s detailing a religious festival in honour of Inanna, in which it is said that ‘the ascending kurgarra priests raise their swords before [Inanna]’. The gender identity of the kurgarra is not clear, but if we equate the symbolism of a spear with masculine energy it runs true that the same could be suggested in relation to the swords of the kurgarra, perhaps as a representation of the warlike side of Inanna.
In later, Assyrian versions of Inanna’s Descent the inclusion of the kugarra is replaced by the assinnu, another member of Inanna’s cult, who Dalley avoids gendering by translating this as ‘Good-looks the playboy’ and suggests that they may have been a boy castrated in a ritual castration – but again this would simply be an assumption. The assinnu was another feminine member of Inanna’s gender-blurring cult; in the Babylonian poem The Epic of Erra of the assinnu the poet says: “Whose maleness Ishtar turned female, for the awe of the people”. It has been suggested by Peled that within the cult the assinnu and kurgarru, represented the combined feminine and masculine aspects of Inanna and the complete spectrum of gender that she encompassed.
Trans and non-binary individuals were not restricted solely to the cult of Inanna. A well-known statuette found in the Sumerian city of Mari depicts a singer with a dedication to Inanna. The individual is named Ur-Nanshe, a male name, yet the gender of the figure has been identified as a woman or eunuch. The gender of Ur-Nanshe is ambiguous; despite their masculine name, their face is soft with a trace of makeup and suggestion of breasts. The dedicatory inscription to Inanna may make it tempting to assume that this individual is a gala, but it is specified that Ur-Nanshe is a naru. Regardless, the dedication to Inanna makes the possibility that this is a gender-nonconforming individual more likely. The fact that such a statuette of a gender-ambiguous individual is an indication of the recognition of gender non-conforming individuals in ancient Sumer, and perhaps even acceptance.
A fragment of a statue in the archive of the British Museum further suggests this recognition of people who are neither man nor woman and is translated as “Silimabzuta, hermaphrodite of Inanna”. The use of the word ‘hermaphrodite’ is questionable. It is a word which we would now ascribe a more biological meaning, but as this is an older translation by a cisgender man, we can make allowances for terminology. Cheryl Morgan has offered a more literal, but more accurate, translation of “person-man-woman”, a term that has been used in relation to trans people in many cultures. We cannot know or make assumptions about the gender identity of Silimabzuta, but it is evident that their gender outside of the traditional binary was recognised – and perhaps accepted – in ancient Sumer.
Even if we cannot know for sure the exact gender identities of these individuals and temple members, it is clear that people have been living outside of the gender binary for thousands of years. Throughout ancient Mesopotamia, it is evident that people lived a wide range of gender identities. They may have even been widely known and respected, and perhaps even considered important members and contributors to their communities. (In their pagan cultures dominated by demonic spirits.)

How the trans movement assimilates us into an alternate humanity.
Here in June 2022 — Pride month — most people are generally aware of the transgender movement (abbreviated in this article as ‘trans’), but few see the other ‘trans’ movement that’s sure to follow in its wake. What other trans movement? Transhumanism.
Transgenderism is just the warm-up act, it’s the vanguard for the end game — full-blown transhumanism.[1]
The trans movement pretends to be a grass-roots, completely organic groundswell of trans rights activists fighting for the oppressed and disadvantaged transgender class. But like many international movements that suddenly erupt on the global scene, the trans movement is not what it appears to be. It’s actually a well-orchestrated, well-funded, socially-engineered movement designed to, yes, destroy the concepts of sex and gender and generate widespread confusion. But it also is poised to usher us into the transhumanist era.
In this article I will show how transgenderism and transhumanism are in so many ways the same thing. Yes, transhumanist activists have been around for quite some time, but it’s never hit the main stage; it’s never had widespread recognition and awareness (much less support). But now with transgenderism, that’s all about to change. Of course, transhumanism is so huge it has other ‘feeder’ programs, some obvious, some covert, programs and technologies such as:
| nanotechnology | genetic engineering | brain-computer interfaces |
| augmented reality | synthetic environments | gaming |
| Internet of Bodies | wearables | superheroes |
| robotics | GMO foods | automation |
| synthetic biology | digital twinning (avatars) | artificial intelligence |
| sex dolls | CRISPR | geo-engineering |
But first, since transgenderism is all about the redefinition and redeployment of key words, let’s explore some.
AFAB and AMAB – ‘assigned female at birth’ and ‘assigned male at birth.’ Sex is now referred to as ‘gender assigned at birth.’ Sex is ‘assigned,’ that is, ascribed or designated at birth. It’s as if the assignment is tacked on, as if the ‘assignment’ is what creates the gender, that the gender did not and would not exist if the assignment had not been made. Use of the word ‘assignment’ should be a clue. It portends that, at some point in the future, the gender assignment may become optional or removed altogether. Parents or the state, may have the option to forgo the ‘assignment,’ in the belief that the gender ‘discovered’ by the child is the important and determining factor anyway. Until then ‘his’ (or ‘her’) sex would be ‘unassigned.’
Saying ‘gender assigned at birth,’ indicates that the assignment is temporary and contingent upon the gender being discovered and declared by the child itself. Saying that ‘gender is assigned at birth’ is saying that it’s been imposed, foisted, forced upon the oppressed child. In other words, parents really have no right to ‘assign’ gender at birth. Who are we to say what the child’s real gender is? Only the child knows that, or so they would say.
intersex – a person born with a difference of sexual development, which can manifest as unclear/underdeveloped or mixed sexual organs or secondary sexual characteristics. Intersex persons are still either male or female.[2]
sex and gender – Up until recently these two words have been used interchangeably and used as synonyms. But transgender ideology has separated and distinguished them and consequently confused them. Transgender ideology began decades ago with Alfred Kinsey and the promiscuity of the sexual revolution of the 1950s and 1960s that divorced sex from fertility and childbirth. What trans ideologues, like John Money, insist on is that sex refers to bodily attributes: genitalia, internal sex organs (e.g. uterus, ovaries), chromosomes, hormones, etc; and gender refers to the social and culturally-determined attributes. More specifically, trans ideologues separate gender into two concepts: gender expression and gender identity.
I will list the conventional definitions here:
gender identity – the personal sense of one’s own gender. (More on this below.)
gender expression – a person’s behavior, mannerisms, interests, and appearance that are associated with gender, specifically with the categories of femininity or masculinity. This also includes gender roles. These categories rely on stereotypes about gender.[3]
Although it is true that sex/gender can be expressed in a variety of ways, gender identity is the key concept that swings the pendulum. It is the concept that truly separates sex and gender and establishes gender as the determining factor. It allows you, as a man, to be a woman; or it allows you, as a woman, to be a man — literally. Trans activists insist on this point and expect its trans ‘victims’ renaming themselves and adopting new pronouns.
In gender ideology, sex is in the body, but gender is in the mind, so they say. And since the mind controls the body and your self is internal, not external, it’s the mind that really determines who you are. So never mind that you have a man’s body — that can change. The important thing, according to trans ideologues, is that, if you feel like a woman, think or act like a woman, or would rather be a woman, then you must be and are a woman — no drugs or surgery required. Or vice versa if you have a woman’s body.
So when trans activists say and insist on everyone seeing them as the opposite gender, and calling them by their new name and using their pronouns, they really mean it, (or at least they’re trying to or have been told enough that they’ve convinced themselves). Gender identity means just that, it is your true identity, not just how you’re choosing to express that gender.
On its face this is a grand delusion, and it would be bad enough if the delusion was limited to those who imagine themselves as the opposite sex/gender or neither. But it’s worse than that. Trans activists and gender ideologues believe that ALL OF US must go along with this delusion and affirm them. ALL of us have a ‘gender identity’ to discover. Our true gender is known only to us, and it’s simply been repressed by the ruling powers who have and continue to dominate humanity with their socially-constructed ‘gender binary.’ That then brings us to the final term to define:
gender binary – the classification of gender into two distinct, opposite forms of masculine and feminine, whether by social system, cultural belief, or both simultaneously.[4]
Curiously, notice that Wikipedia only mentions that the gender binary could stem from social systems or cultural belief, but does not mention that the gender binary could possibly be imprinted in our biology.
So what gender ideologists are saying is, the gender binary is a false choice. Think of it as a type of logical fallacy, namely false dilemma. If your only gender choices are male and female, if you must choose only one or the other, you’re likely to make an uninformed choice. And it’s an uninformed, bad choice for everyone because there is no gender binary. Instead, gender is said to be a continuum, a spectrum, with male and female at opposite poles and various levels and mixes of androgyny in the middle. So who’s to say what your true gender identity really is? It could be a (cis) male, but what if you’ve got some female. What do you call that?
To trans activists with gender abstracted from sex, simply choosing man or woman, male or female is like the absurdity of a thermostat where the only two settings are hot and cold.
Most of humanity, if they would be honest, would say that transgender people are deluded and deceived. But conversely, most, if not all transgender people, if they would be honest, would say the same for the rest of us: all of humanity is deluded. It’s a radical and pivotal belief system which goes to the heart of what it means to be human. And so now we get a glimpse of the connection to transhumanism and its grand entrance onto the world stage.
Transgenderism is Transhumanism
With the rollout of gender ideology across the world, we get a glimpse of how transhumanism, with all its facets, starts to make inroads to affect and influence people and cultures. It’s quite a stretch to think that transhumanism could be all that appealing. But then again, for most of us, it’s hard to imagine gender ideology being that appealing either, but yet apparently it is.
What then are the ways that transgenderism is like transhumanism? There are at least five ways.
Both transgenderism and transhumanism ideologies:
- Redefine humans
- Promote androgyny
- Express contempt and even hatred for organic bodies
- Experiment on people
- Promise a false salvation
1 Redefining humans
It’s obvious that transhumanists seek to redefine what it means to be human. After all the word ‘human’ is in the word itself. But how does transgenderism redefine humans? It’s very simple and should be obvious. Biological sex is at the core of what it means to be human. It’s the first thing said after birth: “It’s a boy!” or “It’s a girl!”
And of course, God created two kinds of humans: Adam and Eve, male and female.
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” — Genesis 1:27–28
As I said earlier, gender ideologues try to get around the clarity of biological sex by divorcing it from the concept of ‘gender’ and making gender the independent, controlling factor in who you are. ‘Apparently,’ gender activists say, ‘everyone is either male or female, but the real question is how much masculinity or how much femininity do you have (or not have), do you feel within yo urself?’
And it’s true — in some ways we all have differing levels of masculine and feminine, however culturally that may be expressed. And if it was just a matter of ‘gender expression,’ that may not be so bad. But transgender activists don’t stop at gender expression; they demand that gender identity exist for everyone — all humans, so they say, possess a gender identity that may fall anywhere between the male and female poles. That gender is your identity.
It’s. Who. You. Are.
Thus transgender persons are defining humanity not on the clear binary of male and female, but on the endlessly variable spectrum of gender identity.
That means, if we all believed this ideology, relatively few would identify as pure male or female, at the far ends of the spectrum. So most would identify as androgynous — a ‘bell curve’ — neither male nor female, but some mixture of both.[6]
‘Okay,’ you say, ‘maybe trans people are trying to redefine humanity. So what!? What’s so wrong with that?’
To answer that, let’s go back and ask why God created two sexes in the first place. As soon as we ask that, it becomes perfectly obvious. But let’s go back again to the source:
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it — Genesis 1:27–28a
To put it clinically: reproduction; to put it in terms of life: babies, children, family, generations, peoples.
And if we’re listening this should tell us something about both transgender and transhuman — they’re both designed to reduce fertility and reproduction and thus drive the eugenics goals of depopulation and the creation of human stratification.
2 Promoting androgyny
Androgyny is not a commonly-used word, so let’s be sure we understand it clearly.
androgyny — 1 The state of having traits of both male and female genders. 2 The state of appearing to be neither feminine nor masculine.
As I said earlier, because gender ideologues and activists promote the spectrum of gender identity, relatively few will identify as purely male or female; most will identify as somewhere in between, that is, somewhat androgynous — 50/50 or 40/60 or 30/70, etc, and choose a name and pronouns to support and express that identity. This essentially is the elimination of gender all together. The word gender assumes a specific male or female (or in grammar, neuter) person. But if gender is a spectrum, a continuum, that means no clear collections of attributes exist that could be thought of as ‘genders.’
That means we need to learn a new word. It’s a companion movement to introduce here: postgenderism.
From Wikipedia:
Postgenderism is a social, political and cultural movement which arose from the eroding of the cultural, psychological, and social role of gender, and an argument for why the erosion of binary gender will be liberatory.
Postgenderists argue that gender is an arbitrary and unnecessary limitation on human potential, and foresee the elimination of involuntary psychological gendering in the human species as a result of social and cultural designations and through the application of neurotechnology, biotechnology, and assistive reproductive technologies.[7]
They have also been working on preparing our physical bodies for this revolution, through the foods that we eat and the water we drink. Birth control drugs end up in our water supply and are chuck full of hormones. Steroid shots have been force fed to us for everything and any malady that brings us to a physician. Foods that we eat have been geo-engineered and pumped full of various chemicals as well as soy which is very disruptive to your hormones levels.
Also from Wikipedia, postgenderism has its roots in transhumanism:
Postgenderism as a cultural phenomenon has roots in feminism, masculism, along with the androgyny, metrosexual/technosexual and transgender movements. However, it has been through the application of transhumanist philosophy that postgenderists have conceived the potential for actual morphological changes to the members of the human species and how future humans in a postgender society will reproduce. In this sense, it is an offshoot of transhumanism, posthumanism, and futurism.
In the 19th century, Russian philosopher Nikolay Chernyshevsky believed that “people will be happy when there will be neither women nor men”.
It should be no surprise that transgenderism and transhumanism both promote androgyny. Martine Rothblatt, lawyer, entrepreneur, and creator of SiriusXM Satellite Radio wrote The Apartheid of Sex in 1995 which had a formative influence on the transgender movement. In 2008 the popularity and influence of the book warranted an updated edition, in which he/she (Martine now identifies as female, perhaps also unsurprisingly) incorporated the concept of transhumanism. In his[8] preface to the second edition, Rothblatt (Rottblatt is a German and Yiddish language name. Roth + Blatt literally means “red leaf”) immediately brought this out:
During the fifteen years since The Apartheid of Sex was published I’ve come to realize that choosing one’s gender is merely an important subset of choosing one’s form. By “form” I mean that which encloses our beingness – flesh for the life we are accustomed to, plastic for the robots of science fiction, mere data for the avatars taking over our computer screens. I came to this realization by understanding that 21st century software made it technologically possible to separate our minds from our bodies.[9]
Later in the first chapter of the second edition, Martine introduces a new human species: Persona Creatus. Here the separation of sex and gender crystallizes even further into a complete abstraction of mind from body. Yet the only way I know how to completely separate mind and body is to die.
The rise of transgenderism provides sociobiologists with evidence of a new species. An important part of most species’ signature is the characteristically gender dimorphic behaviors of their members. However, as noted above, thanks to culture and technology, humans are leaving those gender dimorphic behaviors behind as they come to appreciate the limitless uniqueness of their sexual identities. As our creativity has blossomed, we have matured from Homo sapiens into Persona creatus.
The greatest catapult for humanity into a new species lies just beyond the event horizon of transgenderism. Based upon our rapidly accelerating ability to imbue software with human personality, autonomy and self-awareness, a movement of “transhumanists” have joined transgenderists in calling for the launch of Persona creatus. The basic transhumanist concept is that a human need not have a flesh body, just as a woman need not have a real vagina. Humanness is in the mind, just as is sexual identity. As software becomes increasingly capable of thinking, acting and feeling like a human, it should be treated as a fellow human, and welcomed as a fellow member of the technological species Persona creatus.[10]
Can you hear the tone of his argument? it’s the tone of arrogance and contempt for the organic ‘flesh body’ and ‘gender dimorphic behaviors.’ It’s ironic that, through the publication of his books, Rothblatt has sparked the creation of another kind of apartheid: dirty organics should be separated from the inorganics! Does this sound familiar? We’ve already witnessed a small beginning of that apartheid in the ‘pandemic’ — the vaccinated must be separated from the unvaccinated. We’ll discuss this contempt for organics in the next section.
3 Expressing contempt for organic bodies
We’ve now officially entered the twilight zone.
You know it’s bad when you hear experts, doctors and scientists call for the mutilating of bodies, the amputation of healthy breasts, the castration of healthy testicles, the dispensing of hormone blockers to otherwise healthy children and cross-sex hormones to adolescents, and then label all this as gender affirming care.[11]
This is the ‘standard of care’ for adolescents who claim to suffer with gender dysphoria, many of whom are coached with scripted answers to invent stories of feeling they were born into the wrong body. They then threaten to commit suicide if they’re not prescribed puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones: estrogen for guys to become ‘women,’ and testosterone for girls to become ‘men.’ They’re caught up in the trans craze, fueled by social media platforms like Tumblr and Reddit. Most of them are teenage girls.
Abigail Shirer in her book, Irreversible Damage, the Transgender Craze Seducing our Daughters, clearly documents the shocking story of what she calls a ‘craze,’ an unprecedented social contagion. It is that, but it’s also much more.
From her book describing this phenomenon:
But the phenomenon sweeping teenage girls is different. It originates not in traditional gender dysphoria but in videos found on the internet. It represents mimicry inspired by internet gurus, a pledge taken with girlfriends — hands and breath held, eyes squeezed shut. For these girls, trans identification offers freedom from anxiety’s relentless pursuit; it satisfies the deepest need for acceptance, the thrill of transgression, the seductive lilt of belonging. . . . This is the story of the American family—decent, loving, hard-working and kind. It wants to do the right thing. But it finds itself set in a society that increasingly regards parents as obstacles, bigots, and dupes. We cheer as teenage girls with no history of dysphoria steep themselves in a radical gender ideology taught in school or found on the internet. Peer and therapists and teachers and internet heroes egg these girls on. But here, the cost of so much youthful indiscretion is not a piercing or tattoo. It’s closer to a pound of flesh.
Although it’s primarily adolescent girls that are caught in this trap, the boys are not immune, especially autistic boys. Stephan A Richards is one young man who suffers to this day because of decisions he made as a nineteen-year-old. Listen to his anguish as he describes his fear of becoming a man.
I was terrified of what testosterone was doing to me. I didn’t want to be a man. I didn’t want to be big and hairy. Men scared me. I’d seen my mom assaulted when I was young, and I didn’t want to be like the man who’d done that to her. The idea of testosterone poisoning made sense to me because maleness itself terrified me. I’d been bullied a lot in school by other boys, . . . This background made me vulnerable to the ideology of transgenderism. I had no friends in high school and spent a lot of time online, and I was exposed to the burgeoning social justice/woke movement before it entered the mainstream. When I connected to the internet, I was inundated with messages about the violence of maleness. This wasn’t just “toxic masculinity” — I saw feminists saying all masculinity was toxic, that all men were rapists, all men were oppressors, all men should be killed. As a white man, I was directly responsible for all of the oppression experienced by women and people of color. I was fourteen years old and had never been in a fight in my life or said a racist or misogynistic word to anyone, but I believed that the circumstances of my birth made me a monster. I wasn’t mentally mature enough to think critically about these ideas, or to take them as anything but literal fact. (Literal thinking is common among autistic people, and I would be diagnosed with autism a few years later.) I believed, all the way down to my core, that all men were evil and all women were unimpeachably virtuous. This was black-and-white thinking; it’s one of the reasons why so many autistic people are transitioning. I believed that my very existence was sinful.[12]
These stories are not random outliers, they’re mainstream, especially now because, as I said earlier, this is the standard of care for youths experiencing ‘gender dysphoria.’ But in the end what does it look like? It looks like contempt for the body and body mutilation. For many, the long-term effects of these drugs and surgeries result in a lifetime of suffering. Adolescents are rarely informed, much less warned of potential mental and medical consequences. And the adults in their lives, who should be protecting them, are absent, often cowed into acquiescence by their teen’s often hollow threats of suicide. Obviously, no threat of suicide should be taken lightly, but many of these threats are manipulative and not sincere.[13]
This contempt/carelessness for the body dovetails nicely into the transhumanist movement. It should be no secret that transhumanists believe in their salvation because of their contempt for the organic, natural body with its proneness to injury, pain, disease, and death. This is precisely what they want to transcend by body modification, implants, genetic modification, ‘smart’ drugs, etc. The body betrays us so we must act preemptively to overcome it, so they say.[14]
4 Experimenting on people (especially children)
I’ve already mentioned the widespread use of so-called ‘puberty blockers.’ These are prescribed as the standard of ‘gender affirming care’ for children experiencing ‘gender dysphoria.’ The problem is no one really knows what the long-term effects will be.
The drug Lupron is commonly used as a puberty blocker for both boys and girls and will arrest the production of testosterone in boys and estrogen in girls. Because of this, their bodies do not develop their sex-based characteristics. “Girls’ breasts won’t grow, their hips won’t get wider, sex organs won’t develop.” Boys’ voices won’t deepen, their height will be stunted, etc.[15] This drug has also been used as a means to chemically castrate pedophiles. Lupron is an example of gender affirming care being experimental. In the United States, the use of Lupron to block puberty is not approved by the FDA; it’s used off-label, thus it’s experimental. So are gender reassignment surgeries:

Being that the drug is called Lupron, it is same to assume that it was created to transform us into shapeshifters. Let’s look at some clues as to the root of the name.
| Lucifer – Old English Lucifer “Satan,” also “morning star, Venus in the morning sky before sunrise,” also an epithet or name of Diana, from Latin Lucifer “morning star,” noun use of adjective, literally “light-bringing,” from lux (genitive lucis) “light” (from PIE root *leuk- “light, brightness”) + ferre “to carry, bear,” from PIE root *bher- (1) “to carry,” also “to bear children.” Venus in the evening sky was Hesperus.

In mythology, folklore and speculative fiction, shape-shifting is the ability to physically transform oneself through an inherently superhuman ability, divine intervention, demonic manipulation, sorcery, spells or having inherited the ability. The idea of shape-shifting is in the oldest forms of totemism and shamanism, as well as the oldest existent literature and epic poems such as the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Iliad. The concept remains a common literary device in modern fantasy, children’s literature and popular culture. Folklore and mythology Popular shape-shifting creatures in folklore are werewolves and vampires (mostly of European, Canadian, and Native American/early American origin), ichchadhari naag and ichchadhari naagin (shape-shifting cobras) of India, the huli jing of East Asia (including the Japanese kitsune and Korean kumiho), and the gods, goddesses, and demons and demonesses like succubus and incubus and other numerous mythologies, such as the Norse Loki or the Greek Proteus. Shape-shifting to the form of a gray wolf is specifically known as lycanthropy, and such creatures who undergo such change are called lycanthropes. Therianthropy is the more general term for human-animal shifts, but it is rarely used in that capacity. It was also common for deities to transform mortals into animals and plants.
Other terms for shapeshifters include metamorph, the Navajo skin-walker, mimic, and therianthrope. The prefix “were-“, coming from the Old English word for “man” (masculine rather than generic), is also used to designate shapeshifters; despite its root, it is used to indicate female shapeshifters as well. While the popular idea of a shapeshifter is of a human being who turns into something else, there are numerous stories about animals that can transform themselves as well. |

In light of the long list of transhumanist feeder programs (see the introduction), I hardly need to describe the reality of experimentation among the transhumanist crowd. Transhumanism is by its nature experimental.
5 Promising false salvation
It’s clear that transhumanists believe that it’s only a matter of time before man finds a way to achieve immortality either through life-extension technologies: nanotech, genetics, or uploading our consciousness into the cloud. Either way this is the promise of the parallel false salvation that I’ve written about here.[16]
But it is a false promise. The hidden agenda is that these are mark of the beast technologies that are being used to enslave or destroy tens of millions of people. Transgenderism is a major ‘on-ramp’ to this ideology and is designed to ensnare millions of unsuspecting young people, all the while promising to make them whole.
First, gender activists promise that puberty blockers will give the child time to discover whether he’s a he or a she (or an it); then, they’re promised (or it’s subtly expected among the trans crowd) that cross-sex hormones are the next big thing. Then ‘top surgery’ for girls, etc, etc. These children are pitifully strung along thinking that, ‘once I get [fill in the blank with next drug or surgery], I’ll be happy.’ But any achieved happiness is short lived.
Listen to another ‘detrans’ young woman describe the false promise of ‘social transition,’ drugs and surgery.
I remember browsing trans subreddits in hopes I would get some answers for what to do if transitioning wasn’t improving my mental health. There were many posts asking this question, and by far the most common answer was to “just keep going” and that one day, when you passed well enough, it would all be worth it. There were times when I sat back and questioned nearly every choice in my life, like the relationship I was in and moving to Chicago. I thought about how all these things I desperately jumped into thinking they would save me had not done anything of the sort. The only thing I didn’t outright question was my choice to be transgender. That would require a more up-front reality check . . .
Living life by delusion and going to such extreme lengths to chase a falsehood steer one away from true resolution of such natural human issues. Even if the testosterone itself hadn’t had such a damaging effect on my mind and my life, the very act of trans identity and transition was, for me, an act of immense self-harm.[17]
Helena and thousands others like her are told to ‘just keep going’ on the transition train in the hope of becoming (or ‘passing as’) a man or a woman. But the truth is, Helena and the thousands like her, would never become a man, a woman, or non-binary, not even close. This should be self-evident. It’s a fantasy, or more accurately, a nightmare and what many of those who detransition say the transition feels like — monstrous. Which is precisely what transhumanists become: beastly monsters.
Conclusion
Transhumanism is a multi-headed monster and transgenderism is one of its major heads. It’s one of the first, major, societal-wide deceptions that feed directly into a transhuman future.
Transgenderism is a global, well-funded, socially-engineered movement designed to convince you that black is white and white is black. Its militant, scorched-earth, take-no-prisoners posture and activism cannot be ignored and is meant to steamroll over you.
There is no compromise with gender ideology. As Christians we must understand what we’re dealing with. Trans is a seismic shift in the earth and surely portends that the technocratic tyranny needed to enforce it, cannot be far behind. Be prepared brothers and sisters! The goal is to make you — transition you — to NON-HUMAN!
So if you wonder if you’re experiencing ‘gender dysphoria’ or have been told the lies about gender identity —
Run as fast as you can in the opposite direction. Read the stories of Helena Kershner and Steven Richards; read the detrans subreddit to get a clearer picture of what fresh hell transition really can be.
Your trans friends, if they really care, will listen to you without judgment if you’re questioning transitioning. But beware those who do not listen, who give you pat answers and blithely tell you to ‘just keep going.’
Do your own research; listen to both sides and make up you own mind; resist those who pressure to bully you. It will take courage to stand against the tsunami of the trans cults, both the gender and the human kind. The strength to resist this movement, this ‘craze,’ this social contagion, comes only from the living God and from the Savior Jesus Christ.
For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things. For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself. — Philippians 3:18–21
