"Anything you can do I can do better..."

(CNN) Valerie Johnston knew she wanted to be a Boy Scout since she was 6. "I always wanted to be able to earn everything that my brother and all his friends were earning," Johnston told CNN. "I had my own book, and I would check off the requirements and everything, so I would wonder like, 'Well why can't I earn these?'"

In 2011 it was reported that more girls than boys became scouts in the past year - the first time this has happened in the movement's history.

When girls were asked about admitting boys they said they wanted "Girlguiding to still be just for girls. So no boys allowed!"

The Girlguiding organisation invites parents to 'register their daughters' but Girlguiding is trans-inclusive.

This drew a 'furious response' on mumsnet with 507 messages. The first reads: 

"Sorry for DM link but this is important. Brownies and Guides are going to admit boys if they identify as girls. Girls will have to share 'single sex' facilities including tents & changing rooms with them. Parents won't be told. Oh, and men who identify as women can become Brownie & Guide leaders, where they will get to supervise girls in those tents, changing rooms etc.

"How is this possible? There is an epidemic of sexual abuse. We are still in the fall-out of Rotherham, Saville etc yet we are enabling men to have access to every safe space for girls. AIBU?" [Am I being unreasonable?]

Writing about the passage of the "(In)Equality Act'" through the US House of Representatives in Virtueonline the "So-Called 'Equality Act'" is described as 'The Most Dangerous Bill of Our Time':

"It will affect every aspect of human existence from cradle to grave...No area of existence in this life will be free from the reach of its tentacles... The key point to recognize about the bill is that it will codify into law that you are a bigot, the moral equivalent of a racist. Read the full article here.

Here in Great Britain misogyny is to be treated as a hate crime. As Archbishop Cranmer wrote in his blog: "Misogyny is to be outlawed. Excellent. Now, what does it mean?" Read his opinion here.

Opponents of the ordination of women have often been accused of misogyny even though many opponents are women and married men. 

'Misogyny'  and 'discrimination' are frequent accusations from feminists in response to genuine theological disagreement, using secular criteria to appeal to society.

But the Church is losing her influence. Wales Humanists are celebrating what they describe as a "major development for secularism in Wales" after the Welsh Parliament (Senedd Cymru) passed a bill that "officially includes humanism in the school curriculum of all public schools in Wales."

Wales Online reports: Traditional boundaries between subjects are scrapped and there will be instead six new areas of learning and experience (AoLEs). Mandatory in the new curriculum will be "Religion, values, and ethics" and "Relationships and sexuality education".

Formal RE lessons will be scrapped and replaced with “religion, values and ethics” so humanism will be given the same importance as Christianity and Islam.

In Canada a father has been arrested for “misgendering” his own 14-year-old child by calling her his “daughter,” and referring to her with the pronouns “she” and “her.”

The father had "previously discovered that his daughter’s school had been showing her sexual and gender identity education materials known as “SOGI 123,” which the report referred to as transgender 'propaganda videos'.

"By the 7th grade, the school had changed his daughter’s name in the yearbook without telling her parents, and “socially transitioned” her with the input of gender ideologue psychologist Wallace Wong, who advised the pubescent child to take testosterone."

Call me madam!

transgendered pronouns were against his conscience (Picture: Christian Concern/BPM Media)

It has been widely reported that a Christian doctor was ‘sacked’ for refusing ‘to call any 6ft bearded man madam’:

"Dr David Mackereth, 56, claims the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) discriminated against his religious beliefs because he would not use pronouns relating to people’s ‘chosen’ sex. 

"The disability claim assessor has taken his case to an employment tribunal after allegedly being suspended from his post following a conversation with a manager at Birmingham’s Fiveways assessment centre in June 2018. 

"‘In truth, the argument between us arose not because of any realistic concerns over the rights and sensitivities of transgender individuals, but because of my refusal to make an abstract ideological pledge to call any six-feet tall bearded man “madam” on his whim,’ Dr Mackereth said in a statement."

The 'gender identity' crisis continues. 

An explanatory note appears below examples of gender pronouns on the "Transforming Education" site Trans Students Educational Resources:

There are no “male/female” or “man/woman” pronouns. All pronouns can be used for any gender and are gender neutral.

We also do not use “preferred pronouns” due to people generally not having a pronoun “preference” but simply having “pronouns.” Using “preferred” can accidentally insinuate that using the correct pronouns for someone is optional.

[image description: a chart of some gender pronouns by Trans Student Educational Resources. The columns are the “subjective, objective, possessive, and reflexive” part of each pronoun set and an example.

The first pronoun set is she, her, hers, and herself. The examples are “she is speaking. I listened to her. The backpack is hers.”

The second set is he, him, his, himself. The examples are “he is speaking. I listening to him. The backpack is his.”

The third set is (singular) they, them, theirs, themself. The examples are “they are speaking. I listened to them. The backpack is theirs.”

The fourth set is ze, hir or zir, hirs or zirs, hirself or zirself. If used it would be ze/hir/hirs/hirself or ze/zir/zirs/zirself. The graphic happened to combine them into one row. The examples included “ze is speaking. I listened to hir. The backpack is zirs.”

A note at the top reads “Please note these are not the only pronouns. There are an infinite number of pronouns as new ones emerge in our language. Always ask someone for their pronouns.

Got that? 

If not you are likely to be labelled phobic for not lapping up the latest trend even if the evidence before your eyes contradicts what you are instructed to believe.

 The situation has become so confusing that school pupils in Brighton were given pronoun stickers to "help" transgender children.

Concern is now being expressed over the "rocketing number" of children seeking to change sex. It has become a national scandal according to a powerful coalition of whistleblowers, academics and medical experts'.

The experts' concerns are laid bare in a forthcoming book of essays entitled Inventing Transgender Children And Young People. It challenges what it calls the 'dangerous' transgender ideology promoted in schools, universities, the NHS and other public institutions.

"Heather Brunskell-Evans, a former research fellow at King's College London, who co-edited the book, said that 30 years ago the thought of a child being born in the wrong body would have made no sense to the public.

"She added: 'Now the idea, which was invented by specialists in gender medicine and transgender activists, has become universally accepted.

"'But we are collectively arguing that this unquestioning acceptance poses a serious threat to children's well-being and safety. We hope through this book to bring the world's attention to the public scandal of transgendering children.'"

Next up, 'normalising paedophilia right in front of our eyes': 

"Follow the trajectory and it is not hard to see where we go next. Ten years ago, there was no such thing as "drag kids" or drag queen story hours. Leftists would have called you a paranoid lunatic had you predicted that such things would come to pass. Now both are utterly commonplace, yet leftists will insist that even though grown men in dresses like to hang out with little children at libraries, and adults like to go to gay bars to watch boys dance around in skirts and high heels, there is nothing sexual about any of it. Ten years from now, or maybe sooner, they will admit that it is sexual but insist that there is nothing wrong with a young boy and a grown man getting together, so long as it is consensual. You do not need to be Nostradamus to see this next step. It is right in front of us, clear as day." [H/T Anglican Mainstream]

“There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.”

Bishop Gavin Ashenden: "Have a look at what is actually taught in LGBT lessons in UK primary schools. Take the time to watch this so that you know what is really happening. It’s not what they said. It’s not what you thought."

Modern Britain

In Birmingham Primary schools boys are asked to dress as girls and taught a story of a prince marrying another prince as part of the “No Outsiders” LGBT curriculum. The Church of England refuses to support the Muslim community in its stand against the sexualisation of primary school children.  Rebel Priest.

A devout Catholic and mother of five has been asked to attend a police interview after being accused of using the wrong pronoun to describe a transgender girl. She is being investigated for a possible hate crime under the malicious communication act, an offence that carries a maximum two-year prison sentence. While the 44-year-old has been invited to attend the interview on a voluntary basis, she claims she has been warned that she could face arrest if she fails to attend. The Telegraph.

News bulletins have been dominated by the outpouring of grief over the killing of 50 Muslims in New Zealand. By contrast there has been no coverage of the 140 lives lost with 160 houses destroyed in the past five weeks in Nigeria. Christian Headlines.

Are African Christians worth less because they have not signed up to Western revisionist, do as you please, the Church is backing you, 'Christianity'?
