“The trans crowd isn’t — and I’d put money on this — nearly as big as the rotten woke media would have us believe. Of course, the members of the trans crowd are brainwashed so they actually believe the hype and think they’re a force to be reckoned with.”

It would be wonderful if Christianity Today were to run a series of detransition narratives, or Wheaton College host a conference on the damage that trans ideology is doing to children and to families. Such things would help confused parents and pastors.”
“If it was about acceptance and not innate wiring, why is it that only Gen Z and Millennials have seen a rise in LGBTQ+ identification? All the other generations have remained steady percentage wise. Why this sudden jump overall?”
If you’re a pious Muslim who prays the five requisite daily prayers of Islam, you will recite the Fatiha seventeen times in the course of those prayers. The final two verses of the Fatiha ask Allah: “Guide us to the straight path, the path of those whom you have favored [Islam], not of those who have earned your anger, or of those who have gone astray.”
