A Three-Year-Old Questions His Fate

Here’s an article from CNN about a transgendered three-year-old. Am I on Candid Camera? What is going on? This is creepy, weird and more than a little bit evil.

Some people are born with biological hermaphroditism, perhaps due to exposure to synthetic hormones in the womb. In these rare cases, the individual may have a strong sense of being a person of the opposite sex. The proper thing to do is let the individual quietly find his place as a very masculine girl or a very feminine boy, dressing and acting like the opposite sex. The worst thing to do is expose him to publicity or use his sad plight to prove that sexual identity is fluid. This child is being used.

I love how the writer doesn’t mention the sexual orientation of Lobel’s “parents” until halfway through the article. Nice. As if the fact that this boy is being raised by a couple of lesbians doesn’t have any bearing on how he discerns his place in the world. Nuts.

Laura writes:

I didn’t even notice that. How sick. I couldn’t even get halfway through the piece.

Just a couple of hours ago, I aimlessly turned on the TV to an HBO channel. A movie, “The Kids Are All Right” (2010) drama, was on. I hit the “info” button. The description read:

A middle-aged couple raises their two teenage kids in suburban LA, and everything seems to be going just fine until the instant one of the children turns 18 and is convinced by her brother to contact their biological father.

The first thing that I heard was a woman saying to a young man: “I wish that you were gay, you’d be more sensitive.” The scene was the “family” at the dinner table – two moms, a daughter and son.

Next scene, there is some guy at the front door trying to apologize for something and trying to ingratiate himself to the daughter. Turns out that he is the “birth” “father.” The daughter rejects him and then one of the moms comes to the door and tells him to leave, and to go somewhere else and get his own family.

Final scene, the two moms and son are dropping the daughter off at college (it seems). The daughter hugs her brother goodbye, then the two moms group hug her. They seem to be one lesbian, in two parts. That was the last five or so minutes of the movie.

I googled it. MDb’s short description: “Two children conceived by artificial insemination bring their birth father into their family life.”

Apparently he wasn’t allowed to stay.

Of course he’s going to question his masculinity, he’s being raised by two women who hate men! Both male and female homosexuals ooze hate and rejection. They’ve rejected who God has created them to be, they’ve gone against the “natural order” in a way that animals rarely do…and they are supposed to be able to raise a little boy to love and enjoy who he is? The unhappiest people I know are “gay.”

The sad story of Thomas/Tammy and his/her two mommies is illustrative of the devastating consequences of the utter failure of moral authority in our society since the social/sexual revolution. The commandment to honor thy father and thy mother has been abandoned — the two “moms,” as well as the therapist in this piece decide that little Tammy must be the guide, and their role is merely to follow the child. They actually have no choice, having defied authority themselves. In any event, there is no father for Tammy to honor anyway. (What would the word “father” even mean to Thomas/Tammy? How could he/she have any concept of someday becoming either a father or a mother?)  The child’s feelings are the sole authority. We keep coming back to Dostoevsky’s point that if there is no God, everything is permitted.
