When discussing the transgender craze and abortion, less is often more. But the alliance between the trans movement and the pro-abortion movement has become so aggressive that we can’t avoid talking about it (as much as we might like to).
At first glance, the issues of abortion and LGBTQ appear unrelated. Same-sex relationships are sterile and can’t result in pregnancy. But the homosexual movement has actively inserted itself into the abortion debate because both the trans and pro-abortion movements are built on a shared philosophy: sexual license that accepts no sexual limitations from church, state, or culture.
Abortion advocates and LGBTQ advocates alike generally believe that sex should be free for any reason, with anyone, and with zero consequences. And they demand that this philosophy be accepted by everyone.
The two movements are locked arm-in-arm, not only in principle but financially. This is why you see so many “Pride” flags at pro-abortion events and abortion rights signs at “Pride” parades.
Enter the transgender movement.
Gay rights activists achieved total victory in 2015 when the Supreme Court forced all 50 states to legally recognize same-sex unions as marriages. But the revolution never ends—it just finds a new outlet for upending society. So it’s no surprise that the same year, the TQ (transgender/“queer”) end of the LGBTQ acronym rose to prominence as Olympic legend Bruce Jenner insisted he is a woman named Caitlyn.
Just like the homosexual cause, the trans movement has joined forces with the pro-abortion movement. Abortion appears to be next, as trans advocates shout, “Trans men are men … and sometimes they need abortions!” We are reaching peak insanity.
The pendulum may well swing back toward sanity sooner rather than later because the coalition of sexual deviants supporting the abortion industry becomes increasingly unstable.
The abortion industry long has been allied with a feminist movement built on advancing the interests of women. But now the abortion industry has joined forces with a trans movement that essentially denies there is such a thing as a woman. Increasingly bizarre rhetoric reveals that the unholy trinity of the abortion industry, radical feminism, and LGBTQ is built on a house of cards. And it’s on the brink of collapse.
Perhaps no two movements in the history of the world have put more emphasis on the reality of biological sex than feminists and homosexuals.
For more than a century, feminists have worked for equality in the workplace, equality in sports, and celebration of the many things that women can do as well as or better than men. This approach is well intentioned—even if it sometimes seriously goes off the rails by veering into advocacy of abortion and other evils.
But whether the feminist movement is right or wrong on a given issue, it’s indisputably true that for feminists being a woman matters. The difference between women and men matters.
Your sex was no more “assigned at birth” than the reproductive organs you have. Vaginas and penises are not interchangeable to feminists. They are absolutely binary, and they are relevant to feminists and to their cause.
Men cannot get pregnant. Men don’t bear the joys and pains of pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Men don’t make the sacrifices necessary to breastfeed their children. The feminists know this as well as anyone, and they have traditionally been the loudest in sharing it.
The homosexual movement, too, understands that “biological sex” is a redundant term. This is why the LGBTQ movement was always destined to fracture….
Homosexual men want to have sex with other men because they’re men. Lesbians want to have sex with women because they’re women.
Homosexual people often go so far as to root their very identity in their attraction to the same sex. They dedicate an entire month to celebrating their attraction to members of the same sex. They spent decades pushing for legal and social recognition of same-sex marriage.
Christians and homosexual activists sharply disagree on the morality of sexual relationships between two individuals of the same sex. But we can at least agree on what those relationships are and who they involve.
Transgender activists throw that shared understanding—which has been in place for all of human history — right out the window. Some insist that gay men actually must be straight trans women. Others insist that lesbians are bigots if they refuse to date trans women (who are actually men).
The previous paragraph would be laughable — if it wasn’t the dominating philosophy in media, politics, business, entertainment, and academia. But the bottom line is, the transgender movement is driving a wedge between itself and some of the other progressive movements you probably think of as their natural allies: the feminist and homosexual movements.
They don’t always admit it publicly, but many feminists and homosexuals are outraged at how the trans movement has hijacked their causes. We got a peek at this when there were split opinions on whether trans women (actual men) could be part of the Women’s March. These types of divisions show why the alliance between feminism and transgenderism isn’t sustainable….

I don’t mind watching these idiots eat each other up.
Well, the gays and feminists hijacked the civil rights movement, so there you go. If a group can convince enough Americans that their cause or their identity is a matter of civil rights and equality, then it stands a good chance of succeeding, no matter how boneheaded it is.
Exactly. If you can label someone the equivalent of a racist for opposing you or your stance, then you have won.
Who cares? Enough of this crud. Can’t you all find something better?
Peak insanity is an understatement!! Can we send them all across the Northern or Southern border??
Why on earth are people that can’t have children support abortion? It just does not make any sense.
America is on its deathbed. If Trump doesn’t win, then it will be lights out for freedom, prosperity, goodness, truth, strength, safety, and peace in the United States. We are at a tipping point.
And if I hear one more announcement at my parish about our stupid care for creation vegetable garden I’m going to explode. These Boomers think the Gospel is about growing vegetables. Yeah, we’re growing vegetables but we’re shrinking in children and other young people under 40 at Mass.
It is a great thing, to help the poor grow gardens, so they and their families will not go hungry. The Boomers, however, are a huge problem– many of them are lazy, incompetent, immoral, selfish, self-gratifying, brainless “vegetables,” themselves. If brainless, incompetent, liberal Harris wins– abortion and LGBT false “rights,” pornography in children’s libraries and schools, Drag Queen shows with children, more violence and killing anywhere a radical “fruitcake” desires, unrestricted rights for illegal aliens and no border controls, out-of-control inflation and a messed-up economy, Christians stripped of religious rights and morality and decency, and Jewish families and students bullied— will be the result, among other things. Other nations will not respect America much, under Harris’ brainless liberal leadership, and our enemies may do whatever harm to us that they can. I would be concerned for Harris’ ability to make hard, strong and firm, necessary decisions, for America’s well-being, in times of crisis. And how will Harris handle the military? Scary! America will continue to suffer greatly, under the hardened grip of dark, Satanic evil. So what will it be, after this election? We must all continue to work hard and pray hard, for Christ to eventually conquer Satan and destroy the Death Culture, and all evils, in our country. Our work as Christians never ends.
