In my life-time, the mainstream liberal culture first championed divorce; divorce was followed by contraception and the proliferation of pornography; contraception by abortion and euthanasia; euthanasia by homosexual conduct; and homosexual conduct by the entire abolition of distinctive gender.

This involves an attempt to separate sex from gender, that is, the biological fact (human anatomy and chromosomal cellular structure) of the two human sexes from their social and cultural expressions, which they term “gender,” and which is seen as totally socially constructed and in no way grounded in nature.

Then, using such a phenomenon as hormonal treatment and "sex-change operations," they begin to deny the very stability and reality of the two created sexes.

Learning to accept our body, to care for it and to respect its fullest meaning, is an essential element of any genuine human ecology. Also, valuing one’s own body in its femininity or masculinity is necessary if I am going to be able to recognize myself in an encounter with someone who is different.

Moderate Liberalism

results from the brief quiz I took was very insightful despite its length. I ended up getting a personal score of 75% and an economic score of 20%. This indicates my political ideology as a Moderate Liberal (“PoliticsMatch Quiz”). The “Liberal” part doesn’t come as a big surprise; I’ve always identified as liberal since I started to take a good look at the realm of politics (around 5th or 6th grade, I believe).
