My Attempt To Explain Transgenderism To An African Tribe

ABOUT FIVE HOURS into the drive we hit a rough, bumpy dirt road. We still had an hour to go, but honestly the dirt road wasn’t that much worse than the paved highway we just left. My mission had brought me here, so I wasn’t complaining. In fact, I was excited. I was far away from everything: far from civilization, far from air conditioning, far from running water, cell service, and people who take pictures of themselves. Most importantly for my purposes, we were far, far away from the west. I was on my way to visit the Massai people who live almost exactly the same way as they have for generations. Straddling the border of Kenya and Tanzania in Africa, these people live in mud huts with thatched roofs, tend cattle, hunt, and teach their children to do the same.

As I had learned over the past year, gender ideology is a creation of the modern West. It masks itself as something rooted in science and descriptive of the natural condition of humankind. But in reality, it is a fantasy world with a made up language and made up rules. As I soon saw, nothing reveals just how unnatural and counterintuitive gender theory is than speaking with people who haven’t been instructed in its language through the forces of mass media, popular culture, and the long reach of a homogenous education system.
