CULTURAL NARRATIVE/

GENDER IDEOLOGY

TRADITIONAL/CHRISTIAN VIEW OF GENDER

Gender is fluid.

Gender is fixed.

Gender is different from sex.

Gender is synonymous with sex, or a word used to describe the traits associated with biological sex.

Gender is subjective.

Gender is an objective biological reality.

Children should be concerned with figuring out their gender.

Children should be encouraged that God made them male or female with a plan and purpose.

Biological sex is “assigned at birth.”

Biological sex is determined at the moment of conception and readily recognized at birth.

The presence of ‘intersex’ conditions indicates sex and gender exist on a spectrum.

Intersex conditions, also called ‘disorders of sexual development,’ represent rare pathologies rather than a new norm.

You can be “born in the wrong body.” Surgeries and hormones can “fix” this and align your body with the gender you choose.

Every single viable cell in the human body is either ALL male or ALL female from the moment of conception. Hormones/ surgeries can’t change this reality. Treatments affect appearances and can impact the functionality of certain body parts, but they cannot change a person’s sex/gender.
