The Pornographic Roots of Gender Ideology

Interview by Brendan O’Neill of feminist writer Genevieve Gluck.

I obviously think she is on to something here. 

Brendan O’Neill: What role do you think pornography has played in the transformation of womanhood into something anyone can identify into? 

Genevieve Gluck: A lot of it starts with the sexualisation of surgery, which really got going through the pornography industry with things like breast implants. Within those procedures in pornography, we see the heightening and objectification of certain aspects of the body, and the sexualisation of body modification itself. Whether it is the breasts, the buttocks, the lips or any feature that you’re trying to highlight, it all points to a fetishisation of particular body parts.

A must read!

Why Would A Christian Chaplain Let That Pass?

Challenging essay about the plight and right of Rev Dr. Bernard Randall to speak up if he thinks Gender Ideology opposes Christian Theology.

Dr Randall was referred to the anti-terrorism Prevent programme and initially sacked for gross misconduct by the fee-paying Trent College in Derbyshire after he told pupils they were free to criticise the school’s LGBT policy

...this is not simply about supporting LGBT pupils — even supposing we think that LGB and T belong together (the LGB Alliance and many others don’t). It is about an ideology which wishes to break down society, and remould it into … well, I know not what. It’s about Queer Theory, and disrupting all categories. That’s why the mantra “smash heteronormativity” describes Educate and Celebrate’s work so very well. But as human beings we navigate the world by categories — it means we don’t have to process every piece of sensory input or information separately and afresh. The destruction of categories means mental overload, loss of the ability to make timely decisions, paralysis, and chaos. I’m pretty sure no Christian would support chaos. Nor would any reasonable person. Yes, categories, stereotypes, sometime mislead us, but the way to deal with that is to be alert to them, not to dispense with them altogether.

What’s more, Queer Theory has roots in Marxism and Postmodernism, and is thus a manifestly atheist system. Again, why would a Christian chaplain just let that pass?

Well he/she shouldn’t. Even if doing so makes enemies. As it will.

Church of England Diocese Declares The Church A Risk Factor

Andrea Williams comments on how the Church of England’s Diocese of Derby added to the harm caused to Rev. Dr Bernard Randall under the guise of safeguarding.

After putting the Rev through a “safeguarding process” to ensure that he was not in fact a risk to children the Diocese of Derby issued a report that cited “the Church itself as a risk factor and, for firmly holding to the Church’s view, Dr Randall is treated as a reputational risk.
