Welcome to a new week, all of you fantastic podcast listeners! It's your host Adam back again with another important topic to discuss with you. You should be aware that we do not shy away from controversial subjects; in fact, controversy invites our curiosity.
The topic I want to bring to this edition is the connection between Gnosticism and the transgender movement. To understand this connection, you need a refresher on who the Gnostics were, what they were teaching, and why. The title of this heretical group comes from the Greek word gnosis, meaning knowledge. We have modern parallel terms like prognosis or diagnosis, having to do with knowledge revealed. The Gnostics took this a step further, claiming that they had a "special knowledge" of Christian doctrine in the first century. This special knowledge was linked to Platonism, whose proponents reject the idea of the physical body as an essential part of who you are. The body, and all physical matter, was viewed as "less important" than abstract or non-physical entities. Matter doesn't matter.
These two ancient ideas, secret knowledge, and the loss of respect for the physical body, have significant modern expressions. Today's gnostics might say something like, "I am living MY TRUTH." Or, "No one else can tell me what's right for me." No matter what extrinsic evidence may bombard them, their "inner knowledge" convinces them that they are right and all others are wrong. To show you how Platonism has infected the trans movement, take a listen to the words taken directly from this children's storybook on the topic:
It Feels Good To Be Yourself. This is Ruthie. She's a transgender girl. That means when she was born, everyone thought she was a boy. Until she grew a little older–old enough to tell everyone that she's actually a girl. There are so many different ways to be a boy or a girl–too many to fit in a book! But not everyone feels like either a boy or a girl.
In other words, it doesn't matter what gender I was assigned at birth; it doesn't matter if I have male parts or female parts; it doesn't matter if I have a boy's body or a girl's body. What I think about myself is more important. I might be in the wrong body and may need to chemically castrate or surgically mutilate this filthy body so that it aligns with who I think I am. These are the thoughts and actions of a Neo-Gnostic. These are old ideas wrapped up in popular culture and fully supported by the woke
