I think that's what this issue has caused in me the most, a complete assessment (a first time assessment for me as a Christian) of what the Christian stance on medicine even should be. I've been thinking a lot about it the last couple years, specifically because transgendering children takes it so far off the cliff you have to step back and just assess where we are even supposed to be with our own medical care.
It's a weighty topic for real.
Yes the medical aspect is key to the different ideological outlooks on this. As the new Ideology assumes there is no innate order to human sex and gender it logically follows that diagnosis and treatment will follow this idea that subjective identity is the measure of ones sex and gender and basically everything in life.
Hense we seen an increase in the ideology pushed into State education which had already been simmering away in academia for years. It spread throughout the community and as a result a massive increase in gender dysphoria.
Any sign of a child behaving as the opposite sex even toy choices was deemed to be potential trans. So of course there would be many misdiagnosis.
Part of the change in health treatment is that any treatment that is deemed to discourage affirmation of the opposite sex is classed as Conversion Therapy. So this makes it hard to justify traditional treatments like therapy which is more or less designed to question ones self as part oif therapy.
But as mentioned we seen a sudden spike in transgenderism especially females which some called a social contagion. Reports showed that gender clinics were assuming too much and rushing patients through to transitioning and were closed.
That sparked a panic by authorities who have since change the treatment model to one using therapy first to ensure the person is not also suffering from other problems that cause them to feel trans. Many who have been disagnosed as trans were actually gay.
But the ideology has not disappeared its still rampant online where it best can be expressed because there is no objective reality when it comes to narratives. The new reality is Narrative, personal experience and feelings. Its very powerful and can lure people in to a world of make believe.
The narratives are always underpinned by Woke as in the new morality of identity rights which is hard for people to resist and object to as it seems noble. But thats the Trojan Horse that allows ideologues to smuggle the ideology in like with the using Protection Rights to bring gender ideology to schools.
So I think its a spiritual war disguised as Humanism and all that entails whether thats Woke, Gender and Trans ideology, Abortion Rights, Race or other issues like Political issues such as we have seen in Isreal and Anti-Semetism, Cancel Culture, PC ect. Society have become divided into groups pitted against each other.
But it seems its religion and especially Christianity thats becoming the greatest threat and increasingly targeted. Which to me points to it fundementally being spiritual. A spiritual war.
So its going to keep raising its ugly head in different ways and we have to be on the guard. Our best hope is the Truth and Reality, Gods order will shine through in the end. All we can do is stand on that Truth and keep referring back to it.
