Transgenders out to shatter male-female distinction; bathroom fight just the start of long-term LGBT campaign

For the past few months, new policies being adopted from across the United States allowing transgender individuals to use bathrooms meant for the biological opposite sex have attracted much controversy. Little did we realise that this is just a small part of a potentially bigger problem.

More than just fighting for access in opposite-sex bathrooms, transgender individuals are really out to shatter the traditional distinction between male and female altogether, an academic warned.

In a recent interview with LifeSite News, Peter Sprigg, Senior Fellow for Policy Studies at the Family Research Council, explained that men dressed as women and women dressed as men are really out to "destroy" what is called the "gender binary."

"The long-term goals of many LGBT activists are actually not just access to the restrooms of their preferred gender identity, but actually destroying the concept of gender or the separation of the genders altogether," Sprigg said.

The academic, however, noted that the actions of transgenders, including their fight for opposite-sex bathrooms, all the more acknowledges the fact that there are only two sexes—man and woman—just like what the Holy Bible says.

"They present this framework...that a transgender person is just born in the wrong body...[they say] the woman born in a man's body is really a woman and therefore should be allowed to use the women's room," Sprigg said. "But then, if you dig down...you find actually these acknowledgements that they want to do away with the gender binary altogether."

As if to prove Sprigg's point, transgender Riki Wilchins said in an article on the gay publication "The Advocate" that the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community has long set its sights on destroying the gender binary.

"Queer activists have been talking about [this] at least since the 1970s of Gay Liberation, even as the movement it spawned has continued to nudge it aside," Wilchins said, as quoted by LifeSite News.
