SHAPIRO: The Left’s Gender Theories Are Anti-Scientific Nonsense, But They’re Gaining Ground

On Nov. 22, 2020, New York Times columnist Charles Blow unleashed one
of the most bizarre tweets in recent memory. “Stop doing gender
reveals,” he stated. “They’re not cute; they’re violent. All we know
before a child is born is their anatomy. They will reveal their gender.
It may match your expectations of that anatomy, and it may not. If you
love the child you will be patient, attentive and open.”

This is patently insane for a variety of reasons.

First, the characterization of gender reveal parties — parties during
which parents celebrate finding out whether their unborn children are
boys or girls — as “violent” is, in and of itself, radically nuts.
Parents are excited to learn whether their children will be boys or
girls. That is absolutely unobjectionable. But for an ardent fan of
abortion on demand such as Blow to characterize a gender reveal party
celebrating the sex of an unborn baby as “violent” while characterizing
the in utero dismemberment of that same unborn baby as “choice” is so
morally benighted as to boggle the mind.

Blow’s tweet goes further. The implication parents are doing violence
against their own children if they connect sex and gender is utterly
anti-evidentiary. Sex and gender are interconnected. For nearly every
human being born, biological sex will correspond with genital
development in the womb. Gender, contrary to the idiotic,
pseudoscientific paganism of the gender theory set, is not some free-
floating set of biases we bring to the table. Males and females have
different qualities in a variety of functions, attitudes, desires and
capabilities. In every human culture — indeed, in every mammalian
species — meaningful distinctions between male and female remain. To
reduce children to genderless unicorns simply awaiting hormonal
guidance from within piles absurdity upon absurdity.

And, of course, Blow’s take on “patience” is not limitless. Presumably,
should your daughter announce she is a boy at the tender age of 5, all
measures immediately will be taken to ensure she is treated as a boy by
those such as Blow. There will be no call for watchful waiting; to do
so would be yet another act of “violence.”

Why does any of this matter? Because Blow’s perspective has become
mainstream on the left. In October, Healthline, a supposed medical
resource, ran an article reviewed by a licensed marriage and family
therapist titled “’Do Vulva Owners Like Sex?’ Is the Wrong Question —
Here’s What You Should Ask Instead.” Whether “vulva owners” like sex is
indeed the wrong question. The right question, to begin, might be what
makes “vulva owners” distinct from women; as a follow-up, we might ask
how one would go about leasing or renting a vulva if ownership seems
like too much of a burden.

But the madness gains ground. CNN reported in July the American Cancer
Society had changed its recommendations on the proper age for cervical
cancer screenings for women, only CNN termed women “individuals with a
cervix.” Which seems rather degrading to women, come to think of it.

Lest we believe this is merely some lunatic fringe, it is worth noting
Blow, Healthline and CNN merely are saying out loud what those who
place gender pronouns in their Twitter bios, such as Vice President-
elect Kamala Harris, imply: gender and sex are completely severable,
and biology has nothing to do with the former. President-elect Joe
Biden openly has stated an 8-year-old can decide on his transgenderism;
Sen. Elizabeth Warren infamously stated she would have a 9-year-old
transgender child screen her secretary of education nominee. Male and
female are arbitrary categories to which anyone can claim membership.

Unless, of course, the left wishes to treat sex as an important
characteristic. Then, the logic changes. Thus, it is historic Biden has
nominated an all-female communications team, and it is deeply moving
Harris is a woman.

It’s almost as though the definitions of words have no meaning,
according to the left. All that matters is fealty to whatever narrative
the chosen moral caste dictates on a daily basis. And if you cross it,
you’re doing violence.

It's ironic in the extreme that the man who authored books with those
titles is a supporter of Donald Trump, a man who is systematically
tearing America apart, is clearly on the wrong side of history, and
whose sole method of accomplishing goals is through bullying.
