Here are some truths that conservatives must remember:

- Biological sex (i.e., being male or female) is inherently and always good.

- Maleness and femaleness are biologically determined and immutable.

- Biological sex is central to human wholeness and flourishing. The Left's fanciful notion about embodiment reflects a false mind-body distinction that suggests mind and body are separable.

- It is profoundly unloving to facilitate gender-confused men and women in the rejection of their biological sex. Lost in spiritual darkness, they desire that others affirm the fiction they are attempting to create, but such affirmation of confusion and disorder is the antithesis of love. All sin is infused with confusion and disorder, and sinners desire that others affirm their sin as normal and good. But it is truth that will set the confused free from bondage to sin. Gender-confused children need counseling and compassion - not lies.

- It is good for society to reinforce sexual differentiation (e.g., through clothing, jewelry, hairstyles). Males and females are different (as both the homosexual and "transgender" communities affirm). Those differences are substantive and meaningful, and reinforcing them is inherently good. The Left argues that the cultural reinforcement of sexual differentiation is harmful except of course for gender-confused persons for whom cultural artifacts that reinforce sex differences are profoundly important.

- No public school teacher has the ethical right to introduce the topic of gender-confusion to elementary school children, and no public school teacher has the right to teach Leftist assumptions about gender-confusion to other people's children as objective truths.

- No one should capitulate to the imperious and arrogant commands of LGBT activists that everyone use pronouns to denote "gender identity" rather than biological sex. No one is morally obliged to accept such a revolutionary grammatical shift.

A special note to public school teachers: Referring to a boy as "she" or a girl as "he" constitutes lying. The government has no right to compel teachers to lie, and teachers have no right to lie. For a Christian teacher to facilitate or participate in a lie of such profound magnitude is indefensible. And yes, refusal to facilitate or participate in such a lie will be costly. Discipleship in America is becoming costlier.
