LGBTQ+ Support Hurts Women

Disclaimer: I will be referring to people who identify as transgender in this post. I will call them by the names they currently use, but I will not be honoring any pronouns that do not match the biological reality of those individuals. It is not out of cruelty, but this kind of LGBTQ+ “support” is a lie and, in my opinion, does more harm than good. So, be advised. If this is going to trigger you, then this might not be for you…

Disclaimer 2: Some of the links will lead you to graphic descriptions. If you’re uncomfortable with details or images of LGBTQ+ behaviors, then I advise you to click links with caution.

It’s June, so you know what that means. We are in the midst of Pride Month. Everywhere you go, LGBTQ+ support and marketing is in your face. Every brand logo turns into a rainbow-colored promotion for the LGBTQ+ agenda. Even brands that tend to market to masculine or outdoorsy men such as Bud Light, The North Face, and Ford went all in this year with LGBTQ+ pride. Should we jump on the bandwagon, too?

Reconsider Your LGBTQ+ Support

Before you run off to the nearest “family-friendly” pride parade to get in on the celebration, I implore you to step back and look around. First, as a Christian, consider why you shouldn’t be an LGBTQ+ advocate from a biblical perspective. Then, take notice of how Americans are responding to Pride Month this year. Usually, conservatives just put their collective head down and wait it out, but this year many Americans are fed up. Why? I think it’s a mixture of the push to normalize transgender behaviors in children, the overrepresentation of a minority group in our media to influence young people’s view of LGBTQ+ lifestyles, the oversexualized curricula in public schools, and the creepy LGBTQ+ TikTok creators among other issues.

Here’s a terrifying guy named Jeffrey Marsh who often makes videos speaking to children. This one screams “groomer” to me, but you can be the judge of that for yourself.

Finally, ladies, I want you to think about what LGBTQ+ support does to you personally. Consider what it means for your mother, sister, best friend, and daughter. Let’s talk about it. But first…

LGBTQ+ Support Hurts Children

I don’t want anyone to walk away with the impression that I think women are more negatively impacted than children by the LGBTQ+ agenda. I don’t believe that at all. However, the conversation about LGBTQ+ teachings, influence, and agenda is already happening across the nation, and I don’t feel I need to add to that discussion. Parents, especially, seem to understand the dangers their children face. Of course, some refuse to see it or even view the entire thing as a net positive. Generally, though, the concerns are making the rounds.

So, for today, I want to focus on women. The conversation is happening, but I usually see it dismissed or pushed aside with little concern. Women, often being caring and concerned for others’ well-being, find themselves in a supportive role in most aspects of life. It isn’t all that different with the LGBTQ+ debate. Women often find themselves trying to be “nice” and affirming because it’s what they usually do. So, if women stand against LGBTQ+ issues, then are they being unkind or verbally abusive? I have two thoughts on that.

First, standing up for yourself does not mean you are putting others down. Second, although I strongly advocate for showing care and love for those who identify in the LGBTQ+ spectrum, Christians should unreservedly stand against their message and lifestyle.

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?”

2 Corinthians 6:14

LGBTQ+ Support Is Hurting Women

You might not notice how support for the LGBTQ+ community affects you. In fact, it may not have reached your life yet. Meanwhile, I am certain that others are noticing things in their lives changing or are seeing the changes on the national stage and recognizing the long-term effects coming down the road. Currently, I have seven specific ways in mind that LGBTQ+ support harms women.

1. LGBTQ+ Support Makes A Mockery Out Of Women

If you’ve seen the way some transgender women (i.e., biological men) and drag queens represent women, then you have definitely wondered at some point, “Has he ever even met a woman?” These men who claim that they feel like they are actually women (or simply like to dress like women) are acting out some fictional version of femininity that feels more like poking fun at women than anything else. My husband refers to it as cosplay. I’m inclined to agree with him.

A phenomenal example of a man cosplaying as a woman is Dylan Mulvaney. You might remember him as the Bud Light spokesperson who led conservative Americans to boycott Bud Light. Below are two videos of Mulvaney being a “girl.” Keep in mind that these videos do not depict isolated events. Follow him on Instagram or TikTok and you’ll discover never-ending content similar to what I am sharing today.

Not all transgender women go to the extremes of Mulvaney’s comically absurd stereotypical ideas of femininity which I’m sure he read about in a copy of Cosmopolitan Magazine circa 1999 or something. No. Others make a mockery of real women by not even trying. Like, at all.

Below you can see Rachel Levine (on the left). He’s the United States Assistant Secretary for Health under President Joe Biden. He not only believes he has the right to be a leader in the field of health while ignoring that transgender individuals have a legitimate mental health condition, but he also has the temerity to assert he is female.

These men are making fun of us, ladies. This is how they see us. We’re a costume they can put on like it’s Halloween, and it’s insulting.

2. LGBTQ+ Support Is Making All Sports Male

I’m not athletic, so this topic isn’t personal to me. However, I’ve seen the devastation on the faces of female athletes as they see their positions and victories being stolen by men dressed like women.

Laurel Hubbard

(Instagram)

Laurel Hubbard was selected to participate as a weightlifter for New Zealand in the 2020 Summer Olympic games, making him the first openly transgender woman to ever compete in the Olympics. He performed poorly, likely due to the fact that he was forty-three during the competition. Nonetheless, a woman didn’t get a spot on the Olympic team that year because a man took her place.

Alana McLaughlin

(Twitter)

McLaughlin (seen on the right) is an MMA (mixed martial arts) fighter who was born biologically male and used to be a member of the U.S. Army Special Forces. He has only had one fight so far that was against Celine Provost. McLaughlin won the match in the second round.

The question has been repeatedly asked whether it was fair or even appropriate for the two to fight. Doesn’t McLaughlin have the edge over Provost?

Researchers think transgender women, including those on hormones, are at the advantage in athletics over biological women. For example, a study from the University of São Paulo in 2022 found:

– Transgender women and biological females had approximately the same testosterone levels.

– Transgender women had 40% more skeletal muscle mass than biological females.

– The transgender females had 20% more cardiopulmonary capacity than biological females.

– Overall, transgender women were about 19% stronger than biological females.

– The athletic markers for transgender women fell directly between biological men and biological women.

Lia Thomas

(Twitter)

Thomas was a swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania. He competed as a male from 2017-2020. However, Thomas competed as a female on the women’s team in 2021-2022. He began hormone replacement therapy in 2019 before officially moving over to the women’s team. Presumably, he was required to be on hormones for a determined amount of time before he could complete against biological females.

Thomas’s inclusion on the women’s team came with a great deal of controversy. For one, his size was laughable compared to the significantly smaller women. He was clearly much bigger and stronger than his teammates.

Also, his rank change made people question his motives. For instance, he was ranked 554th in the 200-yd freestyle his last year competing on the men’s team, but he ranked 5th when he was on the women’s team. Furthermore, he moved from 65th in the 500-yd freestyle to 1st place while on the women’s team.

Thomas “made history” in March 2022 when he became the first openly transgender athlete to win a NCAA Division 1 national championship when he won the women’s 500-yd freestyle by edging out biological female and Olympic silver medalist, Emma Weyant.

Is LGBTQ+ Support Protecting Women’s Sports?

It has always been understood that usually women cannot athletically compete with men. Women, overall, just aren’t as strong or fast as men. We’ve been built differently, and that’s OK. But now that biological men want to get in on our women’s sports, we need to evaluate if we are helping men take our sports away from us by supporting LGBTQ+ “rights.”

Another consideration to keep in mind is Title IX. Schools have been federally required to provide equal opportunities in athletics for everyone since 1975. Women must be given those opportunities by law, but when men claiming to be women take women’s places on teams and outperform the best female athletes, are women’s rights really being protected?

I think we’re seeing the answer to that question is a firm “no.” In order to support LGBTQ+ “rights,” women need to hand over their own legally protected rights so that a segment of the male population can have what they want.

3. LGBTQ+ Support Removes Female Achievement

I’m not going to try and convince you that LGBTQ+ support innately removes women’s talents, skills, and gifts. On the other hand, an overabundance of attention on this community, especially when seen as a minority group, can lead to passing over women for opportunities. As previously mentioned, some women miss out on positions in athletics because men take their spots.

LGBTQ+ “Athletes”

An example that went viral for all the wrong reasons occurred in January 2023. The European Figure Skating Championships in Finland featured the first transgender figure skater, Minna-Maaria Antikainen, in a solo act to open the event. Rather than open the competition with a skilled and competent skater, the organizers opted to push for virtue signaling and advertising diversity. Watch what happened.

Let’s look at one last athletic slight, if you will bear with me. Below you’ll find a video of two “ballerinas.” One is a biological female. The other is a transgender woman, Sophie Rebecca, who considers himself a ballerina, as well. He received a scholarship in 2017 for the Royal Academy of Dance, and he has been featured as something to behold in the dance world. I guess I can’t disagree with that… Now, I’m not expecting him to be amazing while in dance school, but am I supposed to believe there weren’t any females more qualified for the academy?

The following video shows female dancers giving Rebecca flowers after his special recognition following a performance. That clip begins at 2:46 and ends at 3:45. What other reason could there be for this attention other than the fact that he is transgender?

I don’t want to belabor the point, so I’ll move on. But can you see the problem here? Men are taking spots on teams, receiving scholarships meant for women, and being featured as leads and stars in scenarios in which they are laughably incompetent and unskilled. And it’s all at the expense of women.

Titles For Women Only

What about titles created for women? Those are safe, right? Nah. We don’t protect those either. In 2015, Caitlyn Jenner, formerly Bruce Jenner, received Glamour’s Woman of the Year award for his work with trans awareness. He had been living as a woman for six months!

Jenner’s not alone. Rachel Levine was named one of USA Today’s “Women of the Year” in 2022.

Beauty Pageants

Certainly, beauty pageants are for women only, though? Nope. For example, a transgender woman won the 2023 “Miss Greater Derry” competition, a scholarship program for women between seventeen and twenty-four. He was neither a woman or a logical or wise choice for a “beauty pageant.” In case you’re wondering, yes, this pageant is held by the Miss America Organization.

Finally, let’s not forget to note that a transgender woman, Anne Jakkapong Jakrajutatip, is now the owner of the Miss Universe pageant. He has spoken out about the importance of diversity in the pageant, celebrated that he owns it instead of men, and that Miss Universe is for women and feminism. So, to put it into simple terms, a man runs Miss Universe while pretending to be a woman and wants us to celebrate all the feminism because he is in charge of a women’s event. I’m going to take some ibuprofen. Why don’t you watch this video while I tend to this headache…

By the way, I’m not recommending Doug Wilson, but he did a good job reacting to Jakrajutatip’s speech at Miss Universe.

4. LGBTQ+ Support Hypersexualizes Women And Girls

All right. I’m back and ready to discuss this a little more. The LGBTQ+ agenda really focuses quite a bit on sex. I know I sound like a Puritan, but am I wrong? Christian, in what should you root your identity? LGBTQ+ advocates would answer that question with a heavy emphasis on one’s sexual proclivities. A believer should say her identity is in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20; Ephesians 2:10).

LGBTQ+ Support Rejects Biblical Sexuality

LGBTQ+ support leads us to teach our women and children that who you have sex with is a significant part of who you are. Not to mention, everyone around should know details about it and celebrate it with you. And the less traditional your sex life, the better. Our culture looks at monogamous heterosexual married couples as a thing of the past, but I’m going to argue that those marriages are the only biblically permissible relationships for sexual relations.

“Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.”

Hebrews 13:4

“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”

Genesis 2:24

“Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.”

1 Corinthians 6:18

“Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.”

1 Corinthians 7:2

Oh, and did I mention yet that marriage can only exist between one man and one woman? Essentially, that erases the LGBTQ+ lifestyle from being something a Christian can even passively support.

“But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”

Mark 10:6-9

Sex belongs in one context: married couples of the opposite sex. But the message we’re getting from LGBTQ+ advocates is that anyone can be sexually intimate with anyone, and women and girls are falling for it hook, line, and sinker.

Case in point: Jen Hatmaker.

Sexualization In Schools, Queens, And Parades…Oh My!

Our schools are also in on the hypersexualization of our girls. The curriculum and available books, in order to be inclusive, lean in heavily on self-pleasure, experimentation, normalizing being transgender, and the logistics of homosexual sex.

What was once a biology topic has become an ever-present lifestyle conversation. “Sex is good. Everyone is doing it. There is no right or wrong way. Sex says a lot about who you are.”

I can’t move on until I address one last hypersexualization issue that has been around for a very long time. Drag queens. These men enhance their chests to the extreme, wear tight and/or tiny clothes, and have, for all intents and purposes, turned into strippers. What started off as more of a comedic show is now more likely to expose you to nudity and strategically placed dollar bills than a chuckle.

Is this how the world sees women? Perhaps not, but it’s how cross-dressing performers portray us. Pride parades do much of the same. There’s no shame. Nothing is left behind closed doors. We all need to see their bodies and fantasies. We must see what “real” women look like and how they behave. I wanted to share videos or photos, but much of what is available is far too graphic. However, I would like to share the following video from a Pride parade. It features a teacher explaining how she loves “pride” and teaches it in her classroom. Ready to homeschool yet?

5. LGBTQ+ Support Makes Women Less Safe

I grew up afraid of men. I probably watched too many horror movies and murder mysteries. There has never been any doubt in my mind that I am not able to overpower a typical man, and for that reason, like many other women, I have always tried to know my surroundings and be aware of nearby exits. But I have never been concerned in women’s spaces. Things are changing, though.

No More Private Women’s Spaces?

The ladies’ bathroom and locker room have always been places for women. A man in those rooms would lead to immediate action and protection from staff and possibly police. Not anymore.

Men are able to enter a women’s bathroom as long as he identifies as a woman, and it doesn’t matter how biological women feel about it. In fact, some will say a woman’s discomfort is indicative of her transphobia. She’s the problem. In some schools and spas even locker rooms are open to everyone. Naked male body strutting around your high school girls’ locker room? Not a problem! He needs to be there to feel like himself.

The argument from LGBTQ+ supporters is that transgender women are not a threat to biological females, and pushing that narrative is transphobic hate speech. Well, I can accept that not all transgender women are a danger to women. That’s too broad a generalization to be true. At the same time, we can’t really say they are never a danger, can we? And if they are sometimes dangerous, then why add that element to women’s spaces when other accommodations can be made for the transgender community such as gender-neutral bathroom options?

LGBTQ+ Support Led To Assault

If you watch Daily Wire podcaster Matt Walsh, then you have probably seen his coverage of Loudoun County School District in Virginia. A male student in the district sexually assaulted two girls between May and October in 2021. Because he identified as gender-fluid, he had free access to female bathrooms and locker rooms due to district policy.

One victim’s father appeared at a school board meeting to address the bathroom policy and how the administration had handled his daughter’s assault. The gender-fluid male student sodomized that father’s ninth grade daughter in the girls’ bathroom. The board, for their part, denied any record of the event and had him physically removed from the meeting.

Later, thanks to bad publicity, the district took the incident more seriously. Everyone did. Eventually, a grand jury determined that the Loudoun school lied to parents about the boy who sexually assaulted girls in the school building. The superintendent was ultimately fired.

Every Prison Is A Men’s Prison

Schools aren’t the only place we can find transgender women presenting a danger to women. Jail has become an even more threatening place than before.

In 2019 a female inmate was raped by a biological male who had been transferred to the women’s facility due to the Illinois policy to allow transgender inmates to be housed with those whom they share a gender identity. The policy is meant to protect transgender women who are targeted by male inmates.

The female inmate reported the assault and was told that she was lying, and jail staff coerced her into saying she had made a false accusation. She was then punished for months by staff for her “false allegation.” This inmate was not the only one to claim to be sexually assaulted by the biological male inmate, yet she has been deemed a transphobe.

Across the Atlantic, Scotland dealt with another troubling incarceration issue when it comes to transgender women. Isla Bryson was found guilty this year of two counts of rape before he started transitioning and still went by Adam Graham. The assaults occurred in 2016 and 2019 after he met the women online.

Bryson, previously Graham, is serving his time in a women’s prison. This leads to the question: Is it safe for the female inmates to have a biologically male rapist among them? Apparently, it doesn’t matter because it affirms his “gender identity.”

6. LGBTQ+ Support Erases Women From Our Language

Again, I have to mention Matt Walsh. His documentary, What is a Woman?, shed light on a strange problem in our world. A lot of folk simply can’t define a woman, and it’s no surprise as we continue to erase specifically woman-related vocabulary from the English language to make it “inclusive.”

Pregnant women are “pregnant people.” A woman is no longer breastfeeding, she’s “chestfeeding.” When addressing a group, don’t refer to the ladies and gentlemen in the room. Just call them “everybody.”  

Female language in the lesbian community is even getting erased!

As we erase female language, we erase women. Walsh had it right. What is a woman? When we don’t have words to specify what makes us different from men and when anyone can just say, “I am a woman,” then there is no such things as a woman any longer.

7. LGBTQ+ Support Puts Motherhood And Women’s Bodily Autonomy At Risk

All right, this one is weird, but we need to keep our eyes on where this legislation goes. Infertility is currently considered a medical condition. It can be a devastating medical condition, in fact. California Bill SB 729 seeks to redefine “infertility” to make it a status instead. Therefore, a homosexual couple would be labeled infertile because, in case you don’t remember biology, two men can’t make a baby together. (A woman – a carrier of XX chromosomes and a uterus – is a necessary component).

Why change what infertility means? Should we do it because the LGBTQ+ brigade wants to change the meaning of everything to suit their agenda? Maybe, but mostly it is to give those in the LGBTQ+ community easier and insured access to surrogacy.

I find this push for “fertility equality” alarming. The traditional family is completely disregarded, motherhood is reduced to womb rental, and it is yet another expense being added to the general public in order to help members of the LGBTQ+ community live their chosen lives with less cost to themselves.

With legislation like this, the role of women in childbearing and motherhood can be boiled down to incubation. How long until the ease of access and lessened personal expense leads to a new way for women to sell their bodies. Instead of prostitution, will there be an industry of women selling their wombs to gay couples for a fee while disregarding the needs and rights of the babies they carry? When does having a surrogate become an LGBTQ+ right? When something is considered someone’s right, we can’t withhold it. What does that mean for women and their bodies?

Listen, I understand how conspiracy theorist I sound right now, but control over our decisions, bodies, and health was quickly (and easily) stripped away in 2020 with the virus-that-shall-not-be-named. Overreach is the name of the game with our government, and LGBTQ+ supporters are more than happy to help.

Final Thought

LGBTQ+ support hurts women and women’s causes. End of story. It’s a complete mystery to me how women can fight so hard for a group’s “rights” that will inevitably negatively impact their own.

What’s the takeaway? I hope you aren’t ready to be cruel or harsh with people you meet who consider themselves LGBTQ+. See them for what they are. Sinners in need of a Savior…just like you and me. Share Christ with them. Be kind. Don’t make every interaction you have about their sexual identity. See them as people and treat them as such. With all that positivity I want you to bring to the table, though, remember that supporting an LGBTQ+ lifestyle is not loving. Real LGBTQ+ support is not affirming their sinful choices, it’s showing them there is freedom and healing in Jesus Christ and that they, too, can be saved.

Do you think we should support LGBTQ+ individuals by fighting for their lifestyle? Have you seen LGBTQ+ rights hurt women? Let us know!
