The center of attention at this year’s Miss Universe Pageant wasn’t the winner – a young lady from the Philippines, who was barely noticed by the media
— but Angela Ponce from Spain, a “transgender” man who believes that competing as a woman is a victory for human rights.
Ponce was hailed as the first “transgender” contestant in the pageant’s 67-year history. He said he was there to proudly represent “my nation, all
women, and human rights.”
“How can a man who ‘identifies’ as a woman represent ‘all women,’” asked Ruth Institute President, Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse? “What’s called transgenderism
is fostered by the culture and advanced by the state, to the detriment of individuals, families, and society.”
Morse continued: “Ponce is a man – a man who’s been surgically altered to resemble a woman, a man who considers himself a woman, but a man nonetheless.
No amount of cultural indoctrination will change that fact. While we can readily sympathize with those suffering from gender dysphoria, their condition
doesn’t alter reality.”
The government is increasingly being used to punish individuals and institutions that refuse to affirm the transgender dogma. Recently, a teacher at
the West Point, Virginia, high school was fired for referring to a “trans” female student as “she.”
“What if the Miss Universe Pageant hadn’t allowed Ponce to compete? Would it have been charged with discrimination and tried before some international
human rights tribunal?” Morse asked.
“Once upon a time, Establishment Feminists regarded beauty pageants as demeaning to women. Now that men can dress up as women, and in the stereotypical,
sexualized version of women at that, Establishment Feminists are cheering them on. This suggests that their objective at that time was and is,
to get inside people’s heads and reprogram their thinking. After all, if you can make people say, ‘Bruce Jenner is a woman,’ you can make them
say anything. That power over people was really the point all along.”
As Dr. Morse explains in her book, The Sexual State: How Elite Ideologies Are Destroying Lives, transgenderism is the latest advance of the
Sexual Revolution, which “separates individuals from their bodies. Our bodies are regarded as unreasonable constraints on one’s freedom and self-determination…The
modern Sexual State will, of course, be on hand to ensure that the entire society conforms itself to individual’s newly chosen identity.”
