Restoring the Mosaic Newsletter for May 20th, 2022

God’s will is for you to be set apart for him in holiness,

and that you keep yourselves unpolluted from sexual defilement.

Yes, each of you must guard your sexual purity with holiness and dignity;  

not yielding to lustful passions like those who don’t know God.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-7 The Passion Translation

UPHOLDING SEXUAL MORALITY

Morality has become a ‘dirty’ word in our society.  Those who would advocate for maintaining virtue, decency, righteousness and goodness, particularly in the area of sexuality, are considered antiquated backwaters – stagnant ponds.

They are totally out of touch with the new realities of social constructionism, postmodernism and identity politics. To speak in intellectual opposition to these new cultural realities is akin to heresy!  You are deemed a bigot, as well as such colourful accusations as homophobe, transphobe, racists, misogynist, hater… well, you get the idea!

But to neglect to speak, is to acquiesce to the unreality of these ‘new realities’ and silently abide by the continuous doublespeak provided by individuals immersed in a language all their own, manipulated largely by unscrupulous persons who long ago forsook any sense of decency and virtuous behaviour.

The New Normal that has been touted for decades and pummeled society to the brink of collapse, is now being exposed for what it actually is… the move to eradicate a moral sexual ethic, abolish the family, destroy healthy friendships through sexualizing emotions, eliminate biology, and obliterate humanity.

We are at the place now, where mutilation of genitalia in the name of ‘identity‘ is not only encouraged, but applauded.  The healthy and wholesome perspective of sex within a man/woman marriage is nearly obsolete and considered problematic to the identity piranhas.

This puts people like you and me in their crosshairs.  Nevertheless, the ‘fringe minority’ of those who view a sexual morality as healthy and wholesome for mankind (oops I guess I should say humankind!), are beginning to speak out.  Parents and educators are raising the alarm, as they begin to discover the depth of depravity being espoused in their children’s schools and elsewhere.

ON THE PATHWAY OF INCLUSION

In December 2021, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH 8^th version) drafted a standard for health care for individuals who identify as eunuchs, and are in need of gender-affirming care:

We define eunuch as an individual assigned male at birth whose testicles have been surgically removed or rendered non-functional, and who identifies as a eunuch. Eunuch individuals may have other identities as well. Most live as men and some may also identify as transgender or non-binary.

But the identity of eunuch is a gender identity of its own and for many it is the sole identity with no other gender or transgender affiliation. Our identity-based definition for those who embrace the term eunuch, does not include others, such as men who have been treated for advanced prostate cancer.

We focus here on those who are eunuch-identified, individuals who feel that their true self is best expressed by the term eunuch. Eunuch-identified individuals generally desire to have their testicles surgically removed or rendered non-functional.

Health care providers will see eunuch-identified people requesting medical care. They ask for castration, to become eunuchs, because they are eunuch-identified. They may also benefit from eunuch community because of the identification – with or without actual castration.

Is your head spinning?  Perhaps you should re-read this section, just to claim a better understanding on what is actually being advised here.  Let me summarize in common language terms what WPATH is suggesting!

1. A eunuch is an individual who (according to WPATH was assigned male at birth).  This means he was born male (assigned is simply a term to muddy the waters to make way for children and adolescents to claim a new identity).
2. Eunuchs may have other felt identities i.e. trans or non-binary!
3. Most eunuchs live as men (as they have for centuries – no need for an identity until it fits the agenda of identity politics).  Eunuchs of old were castrated in adolescence, often to serve in the king’s courts.
4. The eunuch-identified, though, FEEL their true self is best expressed by the term eunuch!  Nothing here suggests focusing on reality.  Eunuch-identified men can be fully intact men who now simply wish to identify as eunuchs.  This designation does not include men who have endured castration as a necessary medical procedure to prevent the spread of cancer.  (This reminds me that the surgical processes (mastectomies) for women with breast cancer should not be confused with breast removal for women claiming a transgender identity!)
5. These men may enjoy a community of identified eunuchs with or without being castrated, although the self-identified may desire to have their testicles surgically removed or rendered non-functional.

So… just when you thought you’d heard it all, and that the medical mutilation of children and adolescents for the purpose of fulfilling their transgender desires had reached the pinnacle, we will now have the need for castration of men and boys to fulfill a need to self-identify as a eunuch.

Have we gone mad?!  The simple answer is YES.  We are creating madness in our society, and especially amongst our most vulnerable. Individuals who want healthy parts of their anatomy removed or rendered useless have deep psychological problems, and need care – psychological care, not surgery to lop off healthy body parts.

While still on this rant of the largely unrecognized designation of eunuch-identity, we need to bear in mind that this is part of broader context that LGBT sectors of professional organizations are extending the boundaries of what is to be considered normal.

Eunich Identity in WPATH sources appears to be a form of BDSM (a variety of erotic practices or roleplaying involving bondage, discipline, dominance &  submission, and sadomasochism).  BDSM is being increasingly mainstreamed in professional organizations, along with consensual, non-monogamous relationships such as polyamory – specifically in the British Psychological Society and the American Psychological Association.

The British Psychological Society (BPS) published a guideline in 2012 for working with LGBT clients, and updated it in 2019 for working with clients who identify as “GSRD” for gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity. Both guidelines say, BDSM is normal and part of human relationship diversity, and should not be regarded as inherently pathological. (1)

Yep.  Professional psychological organizations have swallowed lies and worse yet, mandate that all mental health workers affirm total relationship diversity.

Has anyone else had enough yet? Radicals in professional organizations, and the organization leaders who let them set organization policies, need to be exposed to the general public – and discredited. (2)

I’ve included other references (3, 4, 5) for further information.

PARENTS PROTECTING CHILDREN

Mainstream news and social media continue to denigrate those who dare question or challenge the relentless sexualization of their children in the public school system; claiming they are crazy and a bunch of lunatics. But parents are pushing back! Recently,  I met with Pamela Buffone, one mother who refuses to be silenced!

You might remember Buffone’s daughter, who before being exposed to radical identity theories, was secure in her feelings about being a girl.  She became so distressed by her teacher’s assertion that girls aren’t real, that her parents had to enroll her in a school where gender identity isn’t yet taught.

The teacher has defended her teaching as part of “a change within society“, that is backed by school board policy. The school’s principal was generally supportive of the materials the teacher used to communicate gender theory to her students.

Buffone and her husband have sued the school, and are now awaiting a judgement in the case.  We need to keep our eye on this case, as the outcome will have ramifications for all parents, moving forward.

Who would have thought that just ten short years ago, teachers would be protected when saying “girls aren’t real”; and concerned parents would be vilified?!

We may not be able to turn back the clock, but we can certainly join forces and speak in a unified voice against the exploitation of children in our public school systems.

A TRANS PARENT SPEAKS OUT

Last week, I had the opportunity to interview Shannon Douglas about his experience with his daughter “coming out trans”. Shannon has done his research, and is now advocating for parents, as well as those who are confused by gender policies. Here’s the video link:

UPDATES

Matthew First of all, thank you again, for your continued prayers and concern for our son, Matthew.  He is walking now (not great distances), but with less pain than he previously experienced. We are expecting great gains over the next month, as he is ‘chomping at the bit’ to return to his beloved British Columbia.  I’m not sure what we will do without him, here.  Although we would never wish the circumstances on anyone, we have truly been blessed to care for and spend the last six months with him. We especially love his music! ________________________________________________________________ Workshops Last week, I had the amazing opportunity to present on Gender Ideology to a wonderful group of Christian counsellors in southern Ontario. I have continued to do presentations for Free To Care Ministries over these last few months; finishing the last one this morning. Click here: https://youtu.be/1BFYb5bt6iU

National Leadership

I return to Ottawa on May 30^th for the National Leadership Dinner, followed by the National Prayer Breakfast May 31^st.  This, once again, is a wonderful opportunity to meet like-minded individuals, in order to network and support one another.

Manuscript

My manuscript has been proofed, now, by four different individuals – it’s amazing how much one misses!  I have one last interview on Friday; using that to complete a chapter before sending the manuscript to Destiny Publishing next week.  This feels like the end of a marathon for me.  I will keep you posted on acceptance and the publishing process of Damaged by the Predators Among Us.

Rest

It has certainly been a long time since I had a holiday, and I am planning an extended holiday/sabbatical over the summer, in order to recoup, restore and replenish spiritually, emotionally and physically.  I will write a shorter newsletter early June, but not in July. I will return in August, with updates on the new initiatives planned for the fall.

I thank each and every one of you for your continued prayers and financial support, as we work to present truth in the marketplace and Christian community.
