Schools caught in trap of relative truth
According to the article in the paper, District 211 "respects transgender students' identity" by allowing them to change their listed gender and name on school records, play on sports teams of their choosing, and even allowing them to use the bathrooms they feel most comfortable using. Given the current policy logic begs the question, "Why is it wrong for transgender males to use the showers of the opposite sex openly?" Answer: It is wrong because boys are boys.
The district has created its own monster. By conceding the truth in other policies, District 211 has no logical or moral basis to stand on at this point concerning the showers.
The reality is that having male body parts means you are male. Possessing female body parts means you are female.
Our culture has rejected truth and thus, our culture has rejected the God of truth. Consequently, we are now reaping a harvest of chaos from the seed of relative truth we have sown for decades.
The remedy to the problem in district 211 is to reject the lies and accept the truth. Males are male and females are female. Not only should male students not shower with female students, they shouldn't be able to do the other things that current policy allows either. Why? Because they are male.
The truth is that a transgender male will never know what it is like to feel life grow in his womb or experience the joy of motherhood as his baby kicks for the first time. Why? Because he is male. The saddest part of all of this is that some won't even see the logic in this.
If we are to survive as a culture and country, we must flee the chaos that comes with relative truth and once again embrace the "truths that are self evident!"
