Life Matters - December 13, 2022
Chloe Cole is a brave and beautiful young lady. It hasn’t always been so for her. Like many a young person, she went through a time of struggle against her own body. Nothing new there. But with time, she became depressed and became one of those poor wandering souls deluded into thinking of her body as a mistake—of the wrong gender—that her inner self was male and that she needed to “transition” her outer self to coincide with her inner self. She was counseled by “professionals” as poor, wandering, and deluded as herself who assured her that the only way out for her was to “transition” her body to coincide with her feelings about her/himself. Under the “care” of these deluded poor souls masquerading as “professionals,” she was started on puberty blockers at the tender age of 13 – a month later, was started on two years of testosterone injections – at age 15, her breasts were surgically removed and what was left restructured into some resemblance of a male. When she arrived at the age that my beautiful sisters would refer to as “sweet sixteen” for girls, Chloe, or “Leo,” as was her “name” by now, was still trying to be a man. A tough enough call for us guys… right?
The beauty of Chloe’s story begins in her 17th year, when she surrendered to her maker in accepting her femininity and began the liberating process of de-transitioning. I won’t profess to know what all that entails, because I don’t know, but I do recognize that it must have taken a lot of courage to go against “professionals” and the “trans community” that had given her a sense of belonging. Where were her parents during the difficult time of transitioning to “male?” All she has said to answer that question was that the “professionals” in charge of her case only gave her parents two options, by asking, “Do you want a dead daughter or a live son?” A not-so-subtle reference to her suicidal tendencies as a girl.
Chloe Cole has been, bless her, speaking out in an effort to warn other minors against what she has allowed done to herself. She is a brave and beautiful young lady. Her speaking out, however, does raise a serious and legitimate question. Why is it even necessary? Why are we hearing from this young lady, good as it is, and not from those who should have been her protectors? It is a reminder again to us parents… never, ever, relinquish God’s Order of Authority and Blessing. God has made Dad and Mom directly responsible for the children in our charge. We are directly responsible to God through Jesus Christ for these children He has blessed us with. Church and civil authorities have their place. To keep order. But when civil government, especially, attempts to insert itself into the family structure, it brings confusion and chaos. Unlawful deeds must be punished when they happen within family circles as well as outside them, but we are now still reaping the dire consequences of relinquishing, rather than delegating, teaching authority in public schools to the state. The way back is admittedly hard. For the flesh. But… it liberates the spirit.
How hard will it be? Especially in states such as California, where Miss Cole is from? While no one can answer that question definitively, we do have some hints from Miss Cole’s experience that may clue us in. She has many, many supporters, thank God, including “yours truly,” but she also has many detractors who are attacking her via media for the most mundane and spectral imaginations, with which they pretend to be on a moral high ground, and from where they can see and judge all of her motives which they can neither see nor understand. Forgetting that God Himself, to whom we are all accountable, has said, “Judge not that ye be not judged, for with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged and with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again.” (Matthew 7:1-2) We are however, enjoined to judge “things” as in (1 Cor. 2:15) “...he that is spiritual judgeth all things.” That means we are to judge the “all things” our children are taught in school. And the “all things” they should be learning. I was removed from public school in 1967 at age seven. It wasn’t easy. I know it was harder for my parents and neighbors who struggled to found their own church schools. The alternative is building up to be a far stormier confrontation with evil. First, making sure we are right with God then making room for Him through Jesus Christ in our public schools. As well as in our hearts and homes. Truth is immortal.
