The New Gender Orthodoxy – Opinion
From Compassion to Compulsory Belief
Gender identity was sold as kindness. Let people live as they wish, use their chosen names, and treat them with dignity. Fair enough. But the movement didn’t stop at tolerance. It hardened into doctrine — and like all orthodoxies, it punishes heretics.

A New Set of Rules
We’re told gender is a spectrum. That biology is “just a construct.” That a four-year-old can be “born in the wrong body” — and that medical intervention should follow.
Doubt it? You’re transphobic. Ask a question? You’re hateful. In this new religion, biology is blasphemy, and feelings are holy scripture.
Schools as Mission Fields
Parents assumed schools would teach reading and maths. Instead, many now teach gender identity as unquestionable truth. Boys can be girls, girls can be boys, or neither — and if you don’t affirm it, you’re part of the problem.
Some teachers are even told to “socially transition” children behind parents’ backs. That’s not education. That’s indoctrination.
Medicine by Ideology
The most alarming twist is in medicine. Puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries are pushed as “life-saving.” The evidence? Thin. The risks? Lifelong.
Worse, the “affirmation-only” model expects professionals to nod along with a teenager’s self-diagnosis. Medicine has become theatre: the script is identity, the stage is the body, and the critics are silenced.
Silencing Doubt
Healthy debate is supposed to test ideas. Here? Doubt is banned. Authors are de-platformed, academics lose jobs, parents are vilified. Online, algorithms boost activist slogans and bury scepticism.
This isn’t tolerance. It’s fear. People whisper concerns privately but never publicly — because in today’s orthodoxy, questioning is sin.
Where Does This Leave the Rest of Us?
Most people don’t want to harm anyone. They want to understand what’s happening. But understanding is outlawed. You’re expected to believe, or at least pretend to.
The irony? An ideology that shouts “inclusion” has no room for dissent.
Conclusion: From Compassion to Control
No ideology deserves immunity from scrutiny. Gender identity started as compassion. Today it looks like compulsory belief.
The old religions claimed divine truth. The new one claims subjective truth. Either way, if you doubt it, you’re damned.
