Yesterday the US House of Representatives voted to pass the Equality Act. It’s now heading to the Senate and President Biden wants to sign it into law in his first 100 days in office. Earlier this week Amazon and Target both censored books that discuss and critique our fast-moving and ever-changing societal values surrounding transgenderism. In addition to these two developments, parents and other concerned adults have been bearing witness to an unprecedented swell of girls and young women who are suddenly self-diagnosing their gender dysphoria. There are so many directions we could take with this discussion, but in this episode of All Things I discuss where this enormous uptick in transgenderism is coming from, especially as it relates to women and girls. I share Biblical truths and hope for this moment, with the goal of equipping listeners with the tools to think rightly and to serve their communities well.
