What people don't seem to realize in this whole issue is that this is not an issue of accepting people per se. If you remembering 90s, the idea of homosexuality was based on the premise that male and female are not interchangeable. Nobody in science Media or politics believed that there was an infinite number of genders which people could randomly choose to be anytime they want. In fact homosexual rights was based on the premise that they could not change their sexuality it was born into them. This new transgenderism completely contradicts the previous homosexual activism. It is orwellian, in the sense that it is double think. On the one hand you must believe that gays is a type of sexuality that they cannot choose and cannot control, on the other hand you must believe that people can be transgender whenever they feel like it and they can choose it. Ultimately the people who started this issue don't really care about anybody's so-called rights, they really care about creating as much confusion as possible. The purpose of this issue like many other social issues is to create social confusion and destabilization. It's a cultural revolution, which Mao pioneered. If you want to get a people used to being ruled by your system and your Elites, you need to break that culture down in every way possible until it completely collapses. You notice that transgenderism is not pushed in China, nor in Saudi Arabia. That's because those regimes are already authoritarian, and their cultures do not need to be destabilized. This transgenderism is only pushed in free and open societies for the purpose of making so that people can't even speak to each other using regular pronouns in language. You will eventually be arrested for accidentally using the wrong term of speech against people because you don't know what gender they have decided to be at this day this minute or this second. This creates a serious level of distrust and discomfort and people don't even want to talk to each other. Again, the purpose of these sorts of social issues is not to protect rights or to help the helpless, it is to make Society unstable and people incapable of even interacting on the most basic level. The ultimate purpose of that is to destroy the civilization so that it can be rebuilt along totalitarian lines. How do I know this? I hung out with loads of maoists in University, and it was a very eye-opening experience.
Krista, I totally relate to your comment about childhood interests. I loved Annie Oakley, played cowboys and Indians, wore my own gun and holster, gathered grasshoppers as pets...on and on. But I NEVER considered these as signs that I was not a girl. My nephew asked for a doll, and his dad had no misgivings. He's a boy. No problem. Indeed, it wasn't a problem. This phase and his interests changed. My nephew is a Marine, married and a dad. The unfortunate aspect of all this focus on the body/behavior/sex/gender is that we are locking people into expected "bodies" because of random interests and activities. We are stereotyping children more rigidly and destructively than regular Christians have ever done.
My daughter is gay and married with two adopted daughter and son. The gender neutral issue, which I am on my knees praying for them. The two girls are great Moms and attend a UCC church claim being Christian. Both of these children are all girl and boy in what they choose to wear and play with.

This is so interesting and people need to hear this. It's interesting that if a person feels they look wrong or there is something wrong with their face or body, they are told they may possibly have body dysmorphia, however if a young person says I was born in the wrong body I should be a boy or girl, they get hormonal drugs to transition and eventually surgery...

A woman should instinctively want to protect her offspring. (Some) animals have better instincts and we're suppose to be better than animals. Romans 12:2
Regarding the “body bad”message this person was talking about we are to deny the flesh the desires of the flesh it’s not the body is bad but the desires that we fulfill through the body that go against God’s Commandments that are bad. And even though our bodies are the temple of God we need to be careful to not love the creation (body)more than the creator. It’s a fine line but very clear.
Yes. And I would add to this, that as Paul says, to allow the desires of the flesh to control your actions is a worse sin BECAUSE it is a sin against our own bodies, which are the vessels God has given us for the purpose of serving and worshiping Him. We ought to treat our bodies with dignity, which means abstaining from the things which will corrupt their purpose i.e. sexual immorality, gluttony, self-indulgence, etc.
I need that book. I think this discussion and topic transcends the transgender, homosexuality, and abortion issues. It applies to how sexual abuse distorts a child's identity, how eating disorders and addictions come from distorted and gnostic views of the body, and how even personal differences in personality styles among women as a group and men as a group are not only divinely ordained but shaped by our unique experiences and dynamics within our families and by our formative social experiences in childhood, all also divinely ordained. The complexity of this issue is quite vast. I really need to read Pearcy's book.
I was pleasantly surprised at how easy to read her book is. She takes these very complex and often confusing issues and boils them down to the real underlying issue of denial of God’s good creation. I am in the middle of the book but it has been riveting!

Praying lots and lots 🙏🏼 (1 Peter 3:15) Krista, friends also called me a Tom Boy. I tried out for the 5th grade football team…. Lol bc the sport was so much fun…and bc my dad threw the football with me. It was after I wore makeup that friends came out of the woodwork… that was a damaging message to my heart- that how I looked mattered more than anything else. But God :). Philippians 1:6.

I will tell you why. Right now our culture is so emotional, rationality has been thrown out the window. Let me quote something here to back up what I am saying here. "When your emotional almost all thinking is irrational. The reason is that when we become emotional the emotional center in our brain called the amygdala kicks in and flood our bodies with chemicals. And at the same time the pre frontal cortex which is responsible for rational thought shuts off so our ability to think logically is literally impaired until our emotions are back under control."

Is it like rationality returns once you are calm?
@@jennoscura2381 ROGD is not a DSM diagnosis. However, words can be used that are socially created terms that are not technical diagnoses. ROGD is a term used to refer to children with no history of dysphoria coming out in a manner that catches those who know them off guard. Were some of those kids just good at hiding it? Probably. Were all of them just hiding it and this is the one phenomenon in the history of the world that has no amount of social spread? Highly unlikely. Look at sexual orientation. Did more people come out as social stigma lessened? Yes. Did it catch some families off guard? Yes. However, the % that is estimated to be LGB has been pretty steady whereas the % identifying as trans/nb has skyrocketed thousands of times what it was just a few decades ago. Being gay also doesn't require lifelong medical treatment beginning in elementary school. Being gay doesn't require pretending we don't know anything about how biological sex works. My point: I refuse to accept that we can't question anything about the accepted narrative when this is like nothing we've ever seen before.
Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria isn't a thing. The study is absolute garbage. It's a very poorly conducted study. Yea autism and trans go hand in hand surprisingly often. I am a 41 year old post op trans woman who is autistic. My surgeon and the psychologist who approved my surgery were both aware that I am autistic.

We should be following ALL of the Bible regarding Sexual Roles: Deuteronomy 22:28-29 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

Alisa, I really enjoyed listening to this - a lot to digest. I'm wondering if you can point me to one of your recent podcasts before this one (I can't find it anywhere on your YT site now) where you mentioned you would be doing this interview soon. It was a hodge podge of different segments put together and I remember you referencing either an upcoming class somewhere or a podcast about abortion where people can learn more about the physiology and also arguments for life, how to answer people. Does that ring a bell at all? I'm trying to help out a young person I know who is working on high school coursework (end of year project) about abortion. Thanks!
I am not sure what you're referencing but really good resources on abortion are: Equal Rights Institute (the best material), Scott Klusendorf lectures at Biola, Trent Horn, Francis (Frank) Beckworth, Kerry Baldwin, Stephanie Gray (the best speaker) . I purposely left off LiveAction and Abby Johnson.
We should be following ALL of the Bible: 1 Timothy 2:11-12 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
WRONG! The Bible is cultural. It also says it's better for a man to rape a woman than to spill his seed on the side of the road because Roman Catholic men thought the man was so great that he contained both the egg and sperm.That right there tells you not absolutely everything in the Bible is true. The man had no seed, so the Bible lied. Anything based on gender norms no longer applies. All as this shows, is that discriminate against women. Now, the last shall be first and the first shall be last. A cataclysmic event is about to happen and there will be 2 women in a same-sex marriage leading the new world order. The new world order will bring world peace for God's righteous.
Perhaps there are less extreme positions, yes there are some cultural issues, but "anything based on gender no longer applies" ? No. Read your NT, there is good teaching and examples of the value Jesus and Paul placed on women.
@@tonyadieker7058 Where did you hear that it's better for a man to do such a thing? The Bible does not say anything like that. It is NO WHERE in the pages of the book.
@@weekend_Katy_llc4197 You should always assume others have read the bible too. And take a seat. Numbers 1:2 Take a census of the whole Israelite community by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one.
If you legally give fetuses human rights will child support begin at conception? Does a fetus then get a social security number? Legally considering a fetus a full human vs morally considering a fetus a full human is a massive difference that needs to be taken into consideration.
Consider this. For nearly 2000 years a pregnant woman carried a baby inside her. Then academics decided to promote the use of the word foetus. This served to dehumanize babies in the womb and made it easier to promote abortion. It's harder to destroy a baby inside you than a clump of cells.
Pregnant women can get WIC to help bring a healthy baby into the world. Apparently the government has counted a fetus as a human for years since there are programs available for the health of the developing baby. The law finds a person guilty of double homicide if they kill a pregnant woman. I see no problem with child support. A fetus doesn't need formula and diapers but if a man helps create a baby it would be wonderful for him to take responsibility for his actions and help with the costs of bringing a baby into the world.
@@mads597 Ever heard of minor exceptions that comprise a miniscule percentage that isn't even worth considering? And besides that, hermaphrodites haven't even been part of this issue. It is a deflection that you are using to make a false narrative. We are talking about men who put on a dress, and call themselves women. They are not.
being transgender is about finding harmony with your feelings and your body. Your feelings are a part of your body. Your feelings are your body giving you information.
I think her point is that when you tell someone you won’t use their preferred pronoun, you need to give context to it through the message that you care about them and “The Christian ethics is based on valuing your body and living in harmony with who God made you “
I'm always amazed at how evangelical's engage in such pedantic debates and discussions. Truly, they seem to live in their head. Most of the world is just trying to survive, and evangelicals keep finding stuff to argue about among themselves. This is not a criticism per se, it's just an interesting observation.
I think this is not typical for evangelicals per se, but is typical for every worldview or philosophy. If we look on the history of philosophy, for example, we find very many examples.
You are right. But: What actually is necessary and what isn't, well, that's already a part of worldview-discussion. Besided: The topics considered in this Interview were pretty broad: The distinction between human and person for example has certainly very profound influence on other themes and is, I think, extremely relevant.
Well many of these issues make it harder to “survive“ gender theory is confusing children in a mass scale and is having detrimental effects on their mental health. Abortion of course makes women into narcissist and have no value for human life. So I would say these issues are very important to the fabric of civilization.
You mention gender non conforming behavior in childhood. When I was younger I actively resisted girly things. Here I am at age 41 happily 3.5 years after my Male to Female Sex Reassignment Surgery. So childhood behaviors aren't always a predictor of someone being trans; or gay for that matter. There are feminine lesbians and masculine gay men. One of my favorite lesbian RUclipsrs is incredibly feminine. She always wears a dress and makeup. She doesn't fit the classic lesbian stereotype at all.
I should add that I have a butch side. Sometimes I dress pretty masculine. But I am still really glad I got Sex Reassignment Surgery. I love being a woman.
Is it Jessica Kellgren-Fozard by chance?! She is so great. Also, thanks for bravely sharing your thoughts as a trans woman- it must be tough. This internet stranger is proud of you and so happy for you to be living your authentic life.
This is what is called "putting a lipstick on a pig", i.e. creating an illusion of Christianity being such a leading, loving and happy life affirming worldview, while in reality being the exact opposite of leading or loving, and definitely not even close to happy life affirming. All of it is just the same old empty hypocritical pretentious talk I have been witnessing throughout my 40+ years of being a Christian.
How is it “wonderful” to see these two movements (radical feminism & Christianity) coming together? Firstly is Christianity “a movement” ? Secondly, a little bit of yeast. Do we engage with those who do not honour God? Yes, He came to save the lost! Do we partner with them and give them a platform and encouragement when many of their ideals are anathema to Jesus Christ and flies in the face of His death???? Please be careful what you are not just encouraging but endorsing to the confusion of many less educated or mature.
I am a post op trans woman. I needed to medically transition to treat my gender dysphoria. There was no way I could be comfortable in the body I had. That's the reality for some of us. This stuff isn't being pushed on kids. Telling kids that trans is a thing and that it's ok isn't the same as pushing people to transition. Medical transition isn't good for everyone. I certainly wouldn't push someone to transition.
There are cases where it is pushed, most kids with gender dysphoria do change as they get older so transitioning a child against parental consent is pretty sickl
It is being pushed in some cases but ultimately it’s a detriment to society because of how it is portrayed within pop culture. Same thing goes for homosexuality and race relations. All these lefty ideologies our the moralizing the culture of this nation and the world.
@@sharroon7574 Citation needed! Preferably a study published in a reputable peer reviewed journal. The only thing I am aware of is a study on gender non conforming behavior. But that isn't the same as gender dysphoria. When I was a kid I didn't really exhibit any gender non conforming behavior. I actively resisted girly things. But here at am at almost 42 years old happily post op. And when the hell is a child able to transition without parental consent?
@@jennoscura2381 There are cases in canada where one parent gives consent and one doesnt and the parent who doesnt loses custody, in fact there is a law in ontario that kids be taken away from parents who dont encourage transition. There have been some nightmare cases and for some reason there are these doctors that really want these kids to transition. I know there are some trans adults who are against what is happening in canada. You have to remember that some of these kids will be infertile and there are plenty of people who regret transitioning. Im glad you are happy but as you know it is a big deal.
If abortion is a deeply personal issue why not keep it that way? Your against abortion don't get one. Why tell another individual who is making a very personal decision what they must do?
False dichotomy. I actually listened to the whole interview and I think it is worth it Especially the between the two floors from Schaeffer as relating to modernism and post-modernism.

Believing that science can show fundamental biological differences between people with X vs. Y chromosomes is not right wing. If that's your definition of right-wing, than apparently being a science denier means you are left-wing.

Fantastic …ground breaking …thank you thank you
Hey Alisa, the book discussed in this episode doesn’t appear to be linked to your store in Amazon yet.
Alisa, I really enjoyed listening to this - a lot to digest. I'm wondering if you can point me to one of your recent podcasts before this one (I can't find it anywhere on your YT site now) where you mentioned you would be doing this interview soon. It was a hodge podge of different segments put together and I remember you referencing either an upcoming class somewhere or a podcast about abortion where people can learn more about the physiology and also arguments for life, how to answer people. Does that ring a bell at all? I'm trying to help out a young person I know who is working on high school coursework (end of year project) about abortion. Thanks!
I am not sure what you're referencing but really good resources on abortion are: Equal Rights Institute (the best material), Scott Klusendorf lectures at Biola, Trent Horn, Francis (Frank) Beckworth, Kerry Baldwin, Stephanie Gray (the best speaker) . I purposely left off LiveAction and Abby Johnson.
Secular Pro-Life would also be a very good resource.
We should be following ALL of the Bible:
1 Timothy 2:11-12 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
WRONG! The Bible is cultural. It also says it's better for a man to rape a woman than to spill his seed on the side of the road because Roman Catholic men thought the man was so great that he contained both the egg and sperm.That right there tells you not absolutely everything in the Bible is true. The man had no seed, so the Bible lied. Anything based on gender norms no longer applies. All as this shows, is that discriminate against women. Now, the last shall be first and the first shall be last. A cataclysmic event is about to happen and there will be 2 women in a same-sex marriage leading the new world order. The new world order will bring world peace for God's righteous.
Perhaps there are less extreme positions, yes there are some cultural issues, but "anything based on gender no longer applies" ? No. Read your NT, there is good teaching and examples of the value Jesus and Paul placed on women.
@@tonyadieker7058 Where did you hear that it's better for a man to do such a thing? The Bible does not say anything like that. It is NO WHERE in the pages of the book.
Context is that women and men used to be segregated in early church- and talk across aisles loudly, argue etc.
@@weekend_Katy_llc4197 You should always assume others have read the bible too. And take a seat.
Numbers 1:2
Take a census of the whole Israelite community by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one.
The ONLY "trans" that is accepted to a Holy and Sovereign God. Is being TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2)
“I was born this way” - The World
“You must be born again” - Jesus
If you legally give fetuses human rights will child support begin at conception? Does a fetus then get a social security number? Legally considering a fetus a full human vs morally considering a fetus a full human is a massive difference that needs to be taken into consideration.
Consider this. For nearly 2000 years a pregnant woman carried a baby inside her. Then academics decided to promote the use of the word foetus. This served to dehumanize babies in the womb and made it easier to promote abortion.
It's harder to destroy a baby inside you than a clump of cells.
Pregnant women can get WIC to help bring a healthy baby into the world. Apparently the government has counted a fetus as a human for years since there are programs available for the health of the developing baby. The law finds a person guilty of double homicide if they kill a pregnant woman. I see no problem with child support. A fetus doesn't need formula and diapers but if a man helps create a baby it would be wonderful for him to take responsibility for his actions and help with the costs of bringing a baby into the world.
Fetus already has human rights, you can look up court cases of double homicide, attempted murder etc.
There isn’t one logical explanation for abortion.
Abortion rights make a narcissist out of all women
Men are men. Women are women. There are no transfers, or in betweens. Confusion solved.....
Ever heard of hermaphroditism
@@mads597 Ever heard of minor exceptions that comprise a miniscule percentage that isn't even worth considering? And besides that, hermaphrodites haven't even been part of this issue. It is a deflection that you are using to make a false narrative. We are talking about men who put on a dress, and call themselves women. They are not.
being transgender is about finding harmony with your feelings and your body. Your feelings are a part of your body. Your feelings are your body giving you information.
Did the question for should a Christian call a person by their preferred pronoun, get answered?
I think her point is that when you tell someone you won’t use their preferred pronoun, you need to give context to it through the message that you care about them and “The Christian ethics is based on valuing your body and living in harmony with who God made you “
13:40 Sounds like gnosticism.
I'm always amazed at how evangelical's engage in such pedantic debates and discussions. Truly, they seem to live in their head. Most of the world is just trying to survive, and evangelicals keep finding stuff to argue about among themselves. This is not a criticism per se, it's just an interesting observation.
I think this is not typical for evangelicals per se, but is typical for every worldview or philosophy. If we look on the history of philosophy, for example, we find very many examples.
@@Gisbertus_Voetius True. I think wisdom would have us ask, how much of this is actually necessary? When does it become idle chatter?
You are right. But: What actually is necessary and what isn't, well, that's already a part of worldview-discussion.
Besided: The topics considered in this Interview were pretty broad: The distinction between human and person for example has certainly very profound influence on other themes and is, I think, extremely relevant.
@@Gisbertus_Voetius Okay. :)
Well many of these issues make it harder to “survive“ gender theory is confusing children in a mass scale and is having detrimental effects on their mental health. Abortion of course makes women into narcissist and have no value for human life. So I would say these issues are very important to the fabric of civilization.
You mention gender non conforming behavior in childhood. When I was younger I actively resisted girly things. Here I am at age 41 happily 3.5 years after my Male to Female Sex Reassignment Surgery. So childhood behaviors aren't always a predictor of someone being trans; or gay for that matter. There are feminine lesbians and masculine gay men. One of my favorite lesbian RUclipsrs is incredibly feminine. She always wears a dress and makeup. She doesn't fit the classic lesbian stereotype at all.
I should add that I have a butch side. Sometimes I dress pretty masculine. But I am still really glad I got Sex Reassignment Surgery. I love being a woman.
Is it Jessica Kellgren-Fozard by chance?! She is so great. Also, thanks for bravely sharing your thoughts as a trans woman- it must be tough. This internet stranger is proud of you and so happy for you to be living your authentic life.
@@mads597 You are correct. It is Jessica.
Hey Nancy, what about Alissa's question??
This is what is called "putting a lipstick on a pig", i.e. creating an illusion of Christianity being such a leading, loving and happy life affirming worldview, while in reality being the exact opposite of leading or loving, and definitely not even close to happy life affirming.
All of it is just the same old empty hypocritical pretentious talk I have been witnessing throughout my 40+ years of being a Christian.
So the state can decide when you are a person?
How is it “wonderful” to see these two movements (radical feminism & Christianity) coming together? Firstly is Christianity “a movement” ? Secondly, a little bit of yeast. Do we engage with those who do not honour God? Yes, He came to save the lost! Do we partner with them and give them a platform and encouragement when many of their ideals are anathema to Jesus Christ and flies in the face of His death???? Please be careful what you are not just encouraging but endorsing to the confusion of many less educated or mature.
I am a post op trans woman. I needed to medically transition to treat my gender dysphoria. There was no way I could be comfortable in the body I had. That's the reality for some of us.
This stuff isn't being pushed on kids. Telling kids that trans is a thing and that it's ok isn't the same as pushing people to transition. Medical transition isn't good for everyone. I certainly wouldn't push someone to transition.
There are cases where it is pushed, most kids with gender dysphoria do change as they get older so transitioning a child against parental consent is pretty sickl
It is being pushed in some cases but ultimately it’s a detriment to society because of how it is portrayed within pop culture. Same thing goes for homosexuality and race relations. All these lefty ideologies our the moralizing the culture of this nation and the world.
@@sharroon7574 Citation needed! Preferably a study published in a reputable peer reviewed journal. The only thing I am aware of is a study on gender non conforming behavior. But that isn't the same as gender dysphoria. When I was a kid I didn't really exhibit any gender non conforming behavior. I actively resisted girly things. But here at am at almost 42 years old happily post op.
And when the hell is a child able to transition without parental consent?
@@jennoscura2381 There are cases in canada where one parent gives consent and one doesnt and the parent who doesnt loses custody, in fact there is a law in ontario that kids be taken away from parents who dont encourage transition. There have been some nightmare cases and for some reason there are these doctors that really want these kids to transition. I know there are some trans adults who are against what is happening in canada. You have to remember that some of these kids will be infertile and there are plenty of people who regret transitioning. Im glad you are happy but as you know it is a big deal.
If abortion is a deeply personal issue why not keep it that way? Your against abortion don't get one. Why tell another individual who is making a very personal decision what they must do?
sell sell selllllllllllllll here we go again
Got too 6 mins in but gave up, Intro too long, life is short...
Wow. Seriously? Is your attention-span that short?
@@Gisbertus_Voetius Yes, is your time so cheap?
False dichotomy.
I actually listened to the whole interview and I think it is worth it Especially the between the two floors from Schaeffer as relating to modernism and post-modernism.
There is a function where you can move forward in a video. But more so then that, what's the price of learning more about social topics that are around us every day?
@@Gisbertus_Voetius not to mention, you can listen WHILE you do something else haha. That's what I love about these conversations. It's hard for me to find time to read, even though I love to do so, but I can listen to this while I clean.
So is God a boy or girl or both or neither? Does 'his' pronoun matter? Are we made in 'his' image?
The Bible say God is male and he has sexual organs describe as furnace of fire.
Think about God made flesh. What gender was Jesus and what was His pronoun? Man is made in God's image. Woman was taken from Adam's biology.
Hello God the father. I thought that was evident. People have submission issues deny God is like the ultimate daddy issues
Money money money!
Why not keep oh this Biblically led; here in station, answering so things through the so Bible. The guy Mike Provaceuter had an interesting question, dealing with males and females in your live so stream. It is a question that one would here oh get from a transgender. Ignoring people is not Christian. Kingdom of the Cults, Walter Martin the best apologetic book ever.
Bottom line, buy the book and vote right wing.
Believing that science can show fundamental biological differences between people with X vs. Y chromosomes is not right wing. If that's your definition of right-wing, than apparently being a science denier means you are left-wing. I never thought I would see the day when understanding basic biology and the most basic science would be considered "right-wing". If that's true, then I guess being brain-dead is the definition of left-wing
@@khaccanhle1930.. No I agree with what they said actually, but these money Christians use some truth to lift themselves and make that dollar. Notice all the books they are selling. And mainstream Christianity is die hard right wing now. No matter how wrong Republicans get it. Fakeness.
