Gender Dogma as the Forge of Jacobin Knives

A federal study commissioned by the Department of Health and Human Services has measured a direct statistical link between acceptance of gender ideology and willingness to endorse left-wing political violence. Researchers from Rutgers, the Manhattan Institute, and the Network Contagion Research Institute surveyed 1,208 adults using the Clinical Gender Affirmation Scale and found that stronger affirmation of transgender claims tracks closely with approval of anti-democratic acts.

The Rutgers-Manhattan Institute report reveals that those who score highest on the Clinical Gender Affirmation Scale also register the strongest support for behaviors that undermine constitutional order. The finding arrives against the backdrop of documented cases, including the 2022 attempt on Justice Kavanaugh, where the accused had absorbed the same ideological framing of courts and fathers as existential threats.

This pattern is no accident of polling. It reproduces the ancient mechanism by which a lie about created order first disorders the soul and then justifies the sword. When the body is declared a social construct, every external limit, law, sex, nation, becomes an oppressor to be liquidated.

The same logic governed the iconoclasts who stormed cathedrals after the French Revolution and the leveling sects that rose during the Radical Reformation. In each case, the denial of a fixed created nature licensed the destruction of inherited authorities under the banner of liberation.

Scripture and the undivided creeds teach that man is made male and female in the image of God. The Realists of the medieval schools understood that universals precede human opinion; being is not constructed by political will. Gender ideology inverts this order and therefore cannot rest until it has conquered every remaining external authority.

The report’s authors trace the pathway from clinic to movement with precision. Perceived threat from “white supremacists, men, the Supreme Court” functions as the required enemy image. Once that image is internalized, the suppression of dissent and the intimidation of judges appear not as crimes but as moral necessities.

The City of Man has always required such enemies to maintain its cohesion. The faithful remnant recognizes the pattern and refuses to grant the premise that sex is fluid or that disagreement equals violence.

Households must therefore recover the authority to teach the created order without apology. Pastors must preach the distinction between Law and Gospel without concession to therapeutic redefinitions. Citizens must defend the remaining constitutional barriers against administrative and cultural capture.

The study supplies evidence, not surprise. Those who accept the redefinition of man will, in time, accept the redefinition of justice by force. The remnant is called to stand where the ancient Church stood: on the givenness of creation and the limits of human power.
