Christians: Trans is never OK

Trans is never OK

Christians, being “trans” is never OK. Transsexuals are not “OK” with God. Claiming anyone can change gender is not OK with God. Not even in the privacy of one’s own home. And anyone saying they support those who claim they or anyone can change their gender is never “OK” with God.

Trans is never OK

This seems a strange thing to say to those who claim their religion is “Bible based”, but it still needs to be said. I can’t think of anything worse than hearing a preacher or Christian politician say “I don’t mind what you do in your own home” so they are liked more by their audience, or need the money or votes. Or maybe because they just don’t care.

But seriously, it’s not OK with God for people to claim that others can change their sexual identity, and especially not through surgery or drugs.

I can’t think of any preachers or wannabe politicians who claim “rape is OK as long as it’s done in private,” or “child abuse is OK  as long as it’s done in private”.

And yet many Christians seem to make the statement that being trans (or any other sexual deviancy, sodomy, etc) is “OK as long as it’s done in private/their own home/ bedroom”.

Being trans isn’t OK with Jesus!

Most I’ve met, or have  worked or lived with, have been abused, groomed, rejected or neglected . Those things are never OK and shouldn’t be what someone forms an identity around.

Christians should instead be seeking to deal with the issues that underlie the self hatred:

Abuse: verbal, physical or sexual is never OK
Grooming or indoctrination by parents, predators or teachers is never OK.
Rejection hurts, but shouldn’t lead to self hatred.
Neglect or abandonment shouldn’t lead to self hatred either.

And often it’s a combination of issues, so Christians; being trans is never OK.

When they’re screaming out telling you their new gender, it’s a sign of the hurt underneath.

Christians should be helping their recovery from the above underlying issues, not telling these people that the cause of their distress is that they’re in the wrong body, or that their deviant behaviour is OK, just as long as they hide it from us.

God made us in his own image, male and female,. God knew us before we were born, and we were created to be holy, sacred, to be partakers of his own divine nature.  And it’s never too late to start that journey.

Here’s why feminists can’t fix their rainbow.

feminists can't fix their rainbow

Considering it was NZ’s academic feminism that birthed our nations political, corporate, and social acceptance of these rainbow babies, it’s not surprising these same feminists now want to dis-own or abort their own child.  Aborting children is now solidly part of NZ’s feminist-led culture! These are the women that spent decades trying to get girls into boy scouts, boy schools and boys spaces.

The old style feminists were out in force supporting Auckland trans movement. The grey haired woman in pink sleeveless top with the rainbow earrings was bashing a gong to help create the violence. This is a screenshot from in the video below. You see many more in the video below in their rainbow gear.

Feminists claim men have all power.  Men are toxic. Feminists want equality (equality means to replace men as being in control of society). Feminists still want total unrestrained freedom to be and do and experience whatever they please. First wave, second wave, third wave, fourth wave feminism. But they needed allies. They knew not all women wanted what they wanted, and they knew they couldn’t get what they wanted without getting men on their side.

Another old style feminists with a gong celebrating her mehem with the trans who liked to show his knickers to everyone.

As part of sex-ed, from Age 5 children in NZ schools are encouraged to:  challenge homophobia, transphobia, sexism, and gender-based violence, interrogate the ongoing effects of colonisation, study the environmental impacts of changes in population growth and of related issues such as people’s use and disposal of menstrual products, … and gain understandings about the strengths of sexual and gender diversity.

Essentially, here in NZ, children are sexualised as soon as they get to school .

Auckland won't let women speak

Not all women are feminists. While not all feminists will admit to hating men themselves, they identify with the power and authority that being a feminist gives them over other women. They hate the society they claim men have created. So here’s why feminists can’t fix their rainbow.

feminists can't fix their rainbow

Gay men called in by the pride community leaders were out with their whistles, supported by the old style feminists with gongs in the back ground.

But firstly, we do need to acknowledge that glbt men are being beaten up in bathrooms for just being themselves. This is what they are afraid of. they are afraid of getting beaten up in mens bathrooms. There can be less of this if they don’t try and hit on straight guys when they go into the toilets. Also stop offering to pay for sex in public toilets. Stop asking actual men questions to try and ‘break the ice’ before you ask for sex. Stop complimenting men on their    _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _  or _ _ _ _ _ _  .  Stop touching straight men in bathrooms. That touch on the arm that women do, don’t do it. And don’t fish for compliments from straight men. You’re not beautiful, you look like a circus clown. We don’t like the way you look.

While all of the above behaviour glbt men claim may be ‘being yourselves’, and since so much of the violence is trans on trans, maybe stop trying to pick up anyone in public toilets. All these simple things will keep glbts safer in men’s spaces.

Feminist psychoticism was on full display!

feminists can't fix their rainbow

And secondly, we need to acknowledge that we understand where the anger comes from. The trans’s have been lied to, putting on a dress and make up doesn’t make anyone a woman. Having surgeries and and taking medications so now you can no longer give pleasure to anyone of any sex without toys, and not being able to orgasm in any gender must be devastating. We totally understand that, and we’d be disappointed too if we’d thought turning a penis inside out would replicate an actual vagina, with all the fluids, aromas, heat, muscle movements etc.  We’d be angry. Very angry. At ourselves, and at society. So we understand where this anger comes from.

And that’ collective anger is what we witnessed here:

Who organised the Let Women Speak event?

This event was organised by old school feminist womens, lesbian and gay rights type Labour Party supporters. One women even told Sean Plunket she was a life time Labour party supporter. These are the 1960’s and 70’s university grads type women that have been in control of the institutions here in NZ for decades since.

A typical women who turned up to support Posie Parker would call themselves a supporters of the glbt community. But by multitudes of hundreds, the majority of women were against Posie Parker speaking.

A typical graduate of our education system is this New Zealand minister of parliament.

Study: ‘Transgender’ Youth at Highest Risk for Violent Radicalization

Study: Transvestites are more at risk of violence from their own

The reason why there has been no outrage from either media or parliament at these comments is because it is normal New Zealand education from primary school upwards.

With decades of hatred against men, from primary schools to universities to workplaces, these same women are now asking where their male support for standing up for women’s rights is! Our Prime Minister doesn’t even know what a woman is!

With 3 MP’s there, all with the same education, how could the result be any different?

Golriz ready to fight nazi's

Who organised the “counter protest”?

Auckland Pride (LGBT), Unite Union, Tamaki Antifa, Labour Party, Green Party, NZ Police.

Boycott unitefeminists can't fix their rainbow.

Unite Union, Tamaki Antifa, Labour Party and Green Party were the same groups counter protesting against free speech outside the town hall in 2018 when the Canadian speakers were banned from the town hall. They were able to control the media by claiming we were all nazi’s, and nothing was mentioned about the actual original issue we originally had: the government and media cover up of child sexual abuse.

feminists can't fix their rainbow

The feminists are asking “where were the men?”

Traditional men have been shut out of public square. They have been kicked out of homes by the family court. Many of today’s kids have not had fathers at home, women simply have more money and more independence without men around.  Traditional men would keep away from the man hating feminist lesbian organisers and any message they had. Men are sick of the conflict that feminists create.

Any time men speak out against the onslaught of feminism in the workplace or anywhere else, they are shut down and called woman haters. If men object to feminism, women say it means they hate women. Men tire from this, and to keep away from this conflict and dramas with women because they are always to blame.

Why do people what to change genders in these ways anyway?

Why do they hate their own gender? They’re taught to by our feminist driven education system and media claiming that men have all power, all evil comes from men, masculinity is toxic.  Men are toxic. Why do they want to change? They’re taught changing genders will solve their problems. So who’s teaching them these things?

And this bring us to why feminists can’t fix their rainbow offspring: Simply because New Zealand’s current glbt juggernaut is the their own creation from the women’s studies departments. They’ll never admit they were wrong about their claims in all the same educational and political and business circles they’ve taken authority over.

Some feminists will deny the creation of the academic man/male/patriarchy hating that NZ academia has become is their work at all,. Instead they will point to some rich wealthy foreigner for paying them to spread the toxic masculinity mantra for decades. Feminists have started damage control already this week trying to find the financial sources of those promoting the ‘trans’ movement.

After taking over the universities, the feminists aimed for the churches and took them over also. Once the feminists had control of churches they encouraged their trans allies in also. As a result, the Anglican church has gone from being 35% of the population in the 1960’s to just 6% of NZ in 2018.

It’s never occurred to these feminists that they didn’t have to accept the money offered to them to promote the agenda. It never occurred to them that they didn’t have to teach the kids to hate men.

But the success of the trans movement in gaining momentum was built on generations of young kids hearing the toxic masculinity chants in classrooms and media and in homes throughout the country.

This is so institutionalised, they win the national person of the year award.

And here is below (top right) celebrating after Posie Parker left the stage:

feminists can't fix their rainbow

What’s going to happen?

This will take a couple of decades to disappear once the universities take out the current anti-men aspect from the curriculum. It’s taken several generations to get this bad, and it will take several more to undo.

But women won’t want to give up their power in academia, it means they’re wrong, and no feminist will ever admit they were wrong.

Ironically, the women who have re-written men to be evil in NZ history are now having their own writing burnt by their rainbow spawn.

A Catholic priest who admitted abusing at least five children in New Zealand and earlier worked in Canberra was never reported to police, the church says.

And one of the women he abused says she believes there’s almost certainly Australian victims.

Five historical complaints were made in 1993 against Dominican Order member Father Michael Shirres, a priest and theologian who died in 1997, Auckland Bishop Patrick Dunn said on Wednesday.

However while Shirres confessed to offending over several decades, police were never alerted because the victims wanted privacy, the bishop said.

He was instead put through an independent sex offender program and removed from priestly work. He later apologised.

“At that time the policy with historic cases, as distinct from current cases, was to prioritise the wishes of the complainant,” Bishop Dunn said.

“We respected their wishes and realised that if we did not, people would not be prepared to come forward.”

He said the church’s practice was to encourage complainants to go to the police and the Dominican Order worked to support those who had come forward.

A highly regarded figure in communities in New Zealand’s Far North from the 1970s, Shirres lectured Maori theology in Auckland and authored several books.

In the 1960s, he was chaplain at the Australian National University in Canberra for several years and was there at least until 1964.

Whangarei resident Annie Hill told AAP within her parish there was talk Shirres has was already an abuser when he returned to Auckland in 1966.

She was abused from age five and has been left with post-traumatic stress disorder.

“He didn’t suddenly get off the plane back in his home country and become a child abuser,” she said.

Ms Hill, who took compensation from the church in the 1990s, said she was now compelled to speak out because she felt the Dominican Order in recent years had venerated Shirres despite repeated warnings.

“My father raised this with them in 1966. I raised it with them again in the early ’90s and then in 2016 I went back to them and said again: ‘I believe there are other victims. What are you doing to make inquiries?’” she said.

“At the level of action, empathy and understanding, nothing has happened.”

Dominican Friars Provincial Anthony Walsh – the order’s regional head – is overseas but a spokesman for his office in Victoria said the order would check archives to see if any accusations had been made against Shirres in Australia, although it was not immediately aware of any.

The order said it would reply later in the week.

Abuser NZ priest worked in Australia

It’s only taken years: Churches push for inclusion in Royal Commission into abuse

eight_col_1m1a2097Anglican Archbishop Philip Richardson (left) and Cardinal John Dew from the Catholic Church.

The Anglican and Catholic churches are making their most concentrated push yet to get the Royal Commission into abuse expanded to fully include them.

Anglican Archbishop Philip Richardson and Catholic Cardinal John Dew have met with the commission chair Sir Anand Satyanand.

“The Anglican Church needs to collaborate fully with the Royal Commission and we need the terms of reference to be extended in a way that allows that to be possible,” Archbishop Philip Richardson said.

“That’s the best way of addressing long-term hurt and long-term consequences.”

The Anglicans’ top General Synod committee is now also writing to the Prime Minister and the Children’s Minister calling for an expanded commission.

Some leading non-clerical Catholic voices have previously called for such an expansion – but now their top clergy are getting vocal too.

“We are saying that if they are going to move on to a stage of investigating institutions … then we would welcome having church institutions also included so that we too can learn from whatever failings might have occurred in the past,” Bishop Patrick Dunn, who heads the Catholic Bishops’ Conference, said.

The inquiry’s draft terms exclude scrutiny of abuse in institutions in cases where the state had no involvement.

So the case of a child sent into church care by the state would be treated differently to a child sent to, say, a Catholic school by their parents and abused there.

The government’s made its preference clear – even down to the email address of the inquiry: royalcommission.statecare@dia.govt.nz.

However, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, despite giving repeated interviews expressing this preference, has not said exactly why non-state agencies could not be included.

Survivors of sexual abuse by priests have been campaigning for an expansion, with some saying they would refuse to give their story to any Royal Commission that did not hold the institution to account in their case.

The Australian inquiry into child sex abuse heard 1100 complaints of abuse had been made against the Anglican Church from 1980 to 2015, and four times that against the Catholics.

“Certainly the Australian example is very salutary but we would have taken exactly the same position whether the Australian inquiry had been held or not,” Archbishop Richardson said.

As for other Christian churches, the consensus seems to be they all wanted to be scrutinised by the Royal Commission here, he said.

He was asking to meet Children’s Minister Tracey Martin, but is clearly keen to leave the government room to move.

“If the terms of reference are not extended, how can the church’s accountability be reflected? And we want to have those conversations with the [political] ministers … we’re really not sure what that might look like.”

The original whistleblower into Catholic clerical child abuse, US priest Tom Doyle, has said it would unheard of to try to have a second, separate inquiry into abuse in churches.

A Royal Commission spokesperson said Sir Anand had met the churchmen, was meeting a wide range of people and was not commenting on the content of any submissions.

She did not say if the public consultation on the draft terms of reference would be extended beyond the end of April or not.

Churches push for inclusion in Royal Commission into abuse

Religious academics KNOW they target Children with the LGBT message!

From the Church of England’s refusal to discipline William Yate when he was banished from Northland almost two centuries ago, until today, the churches have long been responsible for covering up those abusing children here in NZ. These same religious leaders are now openly targeting the sexualisation of Children into special communities with the LGBTQI++etc philosophy (that sex with anyone is ok because they claim our evolution from animals means that it’s only natural to follow our carnal instincts).

As lauded feminist lecturer Helen Bergin (Catholic Institute of Theology) claimed in her Auckland University School of Theology classes, “…life would be so boring if there were only two genders”. It was her desire that children be given opportunities at a young age to experiment sexually so they can chose their new gender. It was from these classes that Eugene Sisneros graduated while at St Matthews, only to take the Anglican Church to the Human Rights commission to normalise his behaviour as a role model for Anglican children. St Matthews recently held the thanksgiving service for the 2018 Pride Festival.

There needs to be a Royal Commission of Inquiry into NZ religious organisation’s child sexual abuse, modelled after the recent Australian one.
