The use of genitalia to assign gender at birth is a failure and catastrophe, in particular for gay and gender non-conforming persons. It is the reason why no one would understand why a gay person is uncomfortable with the genitalia of the opposite gender, or why a gender non-conforming person, while presenting physically as they feel, can feel less than, simply because of what is between their legs, and we are not defined by our genitalia, by what is between our legs. Our personhood, value, worth, do not derive from this.
On another note, extremes. On one extreme, you have “Christian” fanaticals who teach their children to live in fear of God and to not trust themselves any way. On the other side, you have progressives who believe that whatever anyone comes to process on their own, is ok, correct, and “their own truth”. The latter is seen as a strength. The presence of two extremes does not allow for balance. Enter objective truth. It’s light makes one’s burden light, and balances out the world.
