Reminder that precise language matters when we are in a fight for truth.
There is no such thing as “cisgender.” There is no such thing as a “trans girl” or “trans boy.” “Gender identity” is not real. It is not possible to “transition” to the opposite sex. No one is “assigned” a sex at birth. Saying “biological” male/female implies that other kinds of males/females exist. Puberty blockers and genitalia-altering surgeries are not “gender affirming care;” they’re sterilizing, mutilating procedures.
All of us, in our own ways, have pushed our country closer to sanity on this issue. But seeing as even Amy Coney Barrett still uses this nonsensical language, we’ve still got work to do
From Wayne Grudem:
“Sometimes the results of our ministry appear many years later: In 1982, when our oldest son Elliot was in 3rd grade, Margaret began to think that we needed a Christian school in the north suburban Chicago area (there were none near us). As we talked, I agreed with her.
We began to talk with other parents and soon we formed a committee to address the possibility of founding a Christian school. After many presentations at many churches and in many homes, Christian Heritage Academy opened in 1984 in Northbrook, Illinois with 59 students in grades K-6. The school now has moved to nearby Northfield, Illinois, and has over 400 students in grades K-12.
I was the first president of the board, from 1982-1984. I think many of you who receive this prayer memo worked with us to get Christian Heritage Academy started.
Fast forward to about 2005. There was an 11-year-old boy in 5th grade, and one day, after hearing a challenge from a teacher, he raised his hand to commit his life to Christ. This commitment set the direction of his whole life. The young boy’s name was Charlie Kirk.”

How did we go from homosexuality being a sinful act to a sacred identity?
This shift has reshaped morality, law, and even the meaning of humanity itself.
Here’s how it happened — and why it matters 🧵:
“Tomorrow is the devil’s day, but today is God’s. Satan cares not how spiritual your intentions may be, and how holy your resolutions, if only they are fixed for tomorrow.” J.C. Ryle
”Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: “I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god. Who is like me? Let him proclaim it. Let him declare and set it before me, since I appointed an ancient people. Let them declare what is to come, and what will happen. Fear not, nor be afraid; have I not told you from of old and declared it? And you are my witnesses! Is there a God besides me? There is no Rock; I know not any.”“
Isaiah 44:6-8 ESV
