Daily Verse | Job 40:8
“Would you discredit my justice? Would you condemn me to justify yourself?”
Wednesday’s Reading: Job 41-42
Wednesday and a couple of nights ago we watched “What is a Woman?” starring author Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire. Bottom line on top: watch it.
In an age of progressive sexual insanity, Walsh sets out to ask experts, activists, and regular people on the street, “What is a woman?” You won’t be surprised to hear that most of them have no idea how to answer the question. Not only do they not know how to answer the question, a few of them threaten to end the interview—and one eventually does.
My wife and I sat there, astonished, at just how inverted (at least part of) our culture has become. It is so upside-down.
Like, Sodom and Gomorrah upside-down.
Then the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.” (Genesis 18:20-21)
Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” (Genesis 19:4-5)
Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. (Genesis 19:24-25)
To give you a taste of just how far some members of our society have fallen down the rabbit hole, here’s part of the conversation Walsh had with pediatric professor Dr. Michelle Forcier.
In their sit-down, she says kids are ready for ‘medical affirmation when they ask for it’ – even if it’s before they have reached puberty.
‘Medical affirmation begins when the patient says they’re ready for it.
‘That could be a kiddo who is just starting puberty and they’re panicking because they’re just getting breast buds, or their penis is getting bigger and busier and they’re worried about all kinds of masculine changes,’ the doctor said.
That is when she says doctors can safely prescribe puberty blockers, claiming they are ‘completely reversible’ and ‘don’t have permanent effects.’
‘[They are] wonderful because we can put that pause on puberty, just like you’re listening to music.
‘You put the pause on and puberty would go right back to where it was, the next note in the song, just delay that period of time.’
Dr. Forcier also told him that his sperm doesn’t make him male and that an objective truth does not exist.
‘Whose truth are we talking about?’ she said.
‘The same truth that says we’re sitting in this room right now you and I,’ Walsh replied.
She shot back: ‘No, you’re not listening.’
Walsh pushed back: ‘If I see a chicken laying eggs and I say that’s a female chicken, did I assign female? Or am I just observing a physical reality that’s happening?’
The doctor, rejecting his argument, said: ‘Does a chicken have gender identity? Does a chicken cry? Does a chicken commit suicide? A chicken has an assigned gender but a chicken doesn’t have gender identity.’
She also said it’s only an assumption that a chicken laying eggs is female.
Among the puberty blockers that are used is Lupron, which can also be used to treat endometriosis and prostate cancer.
It has been used in the past to chemically castrate sex offenders.
Fortunately, Walsh also interviewed a Dr. Miriam Grossman, who “spoke of the dangers of prescribing kids with the drugs too early and said she’d spoken to the mother of a teenage trans girl who now has osteoporosis.” Osteoporosis is an old person’s disease.
‘How can they be removing the healthy breasts of 15-year-old girls? How can they be sterilizing kids? How can this whole thing be happening, Matt?’ she said.
I kept asking the same question throughout the documentary: “How is this possible?” It was all so absurd.
It wasn’t until Walsh flew to Africa that there was finally some relief. There, he met with tribal leaders and asked them some of the same questions he was asking in the United States.
“If you want to become a lady but you’re a man, you have something wrong in your family. Something wrong in you.” Right.
It feels so weird to have to look for some semblance of normalcy in a third-world country instead of one of the most advanced countries in history. But those tribesmen are who I identified with—not the “experts” that Walsh interviewed.
The trans-cult is truly troubling because they’re denying biological reality in favor of “feelings” or “perceptions” or “my truth.” It is irrational, meaning not logical or reasonable, detached from what is, in fact, true. And the worst part of it is that those who subscribe to such irrationality expect you to affirm their delusional views.
Some of the “experts” that Walsh interviewed got very testy or talked in circular arguments when he pushed on their assumptions. One in particular, a University of Tennessee women’s studies professor, said it was “transphobic, rude and condescending” to seek objective truth rather than accepting what people tell you.
When Walsh asked him to define what a woman is, the same professor answered, “A person who identifies as a woman.”
Walsh: “But what are they identifying as?”
Professor: “As a woman.”
Walsh: “What is that?”
Professor: “As a woman.”
A woman is a … woman. That’s the definition.
And these are the people teaching our children.
These are the people grooming our children.
These are the people abusing our children.
The Left has pushed for a utopian future, but we’re well onto the leading edge of a creeping dystopian nightmare.
“What is a Woman?” is a swift kick to the shins. As we sit in our suburban homes and attend our suburban churches, there is an evil rot saturating every facet of our society that is being ignored. At what point will sane men and women mount a counter-offensive?
Should you watch the movie? Yes, and encourage others to do the same.
