My Will Be Done - Transgenderism as a Spiritual Phenomenon

Unfortunately there’s a topic there’s to some degree no getting away from, and so I’ll try to succinctly deal with transgenderism as a spiritual phenomenon. This is also encompassed within this post on thought and temptation: https://wwwinabstentia-andrewk.blogspot.com/2023/04/liberalism-and-spiritual.html.

One of the key lines said or taught by Christ is “Thy will be done,” and even to the pint of a willingness to undergo martyrdom. Salvation and the receiving of true spiritual enlightenment comes from surrender to the will of God; that we manage to not be shut off from the spirit by the sterile narrowness of egotism.

By contrast, the very first sin, and the core of all sin, in the spiritual realm, is by contrast precisely the exaltation of this egotism, whose essence is encapsulated by the words, “My will be done.” I and my desires are the highest value, and this desire, the perverted attempt to overthrow God and the spiritual order, creates fallen angels of angels, and likewise with humanity.

I’m not going to bother needlessly fleshing this out, but it should so be pretty obvious why transgenderism as an ideology is so integral to the left, which has always leaned strongly towards atheism. Besides the usual and obvious tactics and goals of subversion of society, which is to be overthrown, in an existential sense transgenderism is an expression of “Not thy will be done, my will be done.” We’re even going to rebel against the body! So it’s subversion as a political weapon, undermining society  - this is just basic socialist methodology, the unscrupulous means justified by the imagined good that will somehow magically appear down the line - but at a deeper spiritual level, defiance and debasement are the higher end in itself. 

And remember, in a very real sense egotism pushed further along the routes of and to itself, becomes ever more demonic. Thus Nazism and Communism, in the midst of a post-Industrial Revolution Europe supposedly advancing into progress and rationalism, unfolded as they did. It wasn’t an  accidental freak of history that they became demonic! Heaven on earth created by the imaginings and will of the ego - well that’s the egotism of “My will be done”, and that’s where egotism leads.

Obviously with all this and transgenderism I’m referring here to the ideological essence and motives, rather than the vulnerable people being sold this as all very virtuous and desirable. And it should be clear why this is a “sacred” issue for the cause at hand. And as is written in Corinthians, “Satan masquerades as an angel of light.” Twisted thoughts don’t tend to helpfully declare themselves to be twisted! 

Though, come to think of it, we did have one of the super-bland pop star/gender ideology figureheads performing a song, I think called Unholy, at the super-bland Grammys, made up as Satan in the midst of a trans orgy. Very subtle. Nothing to see here.

On that point, I suppose the more crude and infected a culture becomes, such as this corporate controlled mainstream one, the less need for subtlety and concealment. It can all hang out there - or at least its proponents imagine so.
