The point is, we're deluded if we think that we're any better or more inherently moral than anyone living in the Aztec Empire or Norse Scandinavia a thousand years ago. But we are better than them, right? We must be! In a way, maybe. We understand that throwing infants off of cliffs or cutting the hearts out of hundreds of people isn't going to ensure that the sun won't disappear forever below the horizon and the rains will return. But being virtually the same as them, what are we doing now that's equally as irrational and destructive as our ancestors? Aren't we essentially sacrificing some not insignificant proportion of our children to equally amorphous and unknowable gods? The God/Goddess/They-ness of Gender is something that, if you ask ten different gender ideologues what it is, you will get ten different answers, none of them making any sense.

What difference is there between some child bravely declaring their willingness to have their heart cut out or their throat slit to appease Huitzilopochtli and some teen “bravely” going under the knife to appease some ill-defined, ineffable Gender God and then dancing around in a Tic-Tok video showing off their mastectomy scars? I don't see much of a difference at all. And the people doing the sacrificing this time around are spouting the same nonsense and thinking the same irrational thoughts the priests in the temples were thinking in the past, that they are sacrificing the child's body to save their soul. Sure, the one in the past would be good and dead after the deed was done, but the modern one, maybe after having their puberty disrupted, and looking forward to a lifetime of subservience to Big Pharma and probably more surgeries, loss of fertility and sexual pleasure. Haven't they entered a kind of living-death netherworld?

Society is slowly waking up to this reality, but very slowly in the U.S., and I worry that the recent gains in stopping this sort of sacrificing of children are going to drive the “affirming therapists” and their criminal surgical compatriots underground. It's not as preposterous as it might sound. Look at the “timeline of ritual human sacrifice” and how it extends into our present time, it's like they just can't help it. Some people just feel the urge to kill some other people for nebulous reasons.
