Welcome to Douglas Wilson's The Plodcast, presented by Canon Press.

Yeah. Yes, God, God, God don't never to...

So welcome to the plodcast podcast this is episode 199 you may have wondered what happened to me for the last couple of weeks that's because I was on vacation and we didn't have any in the can looking forward.

So we weren't cancelled or anything like that.

We just didn't do it.

But this, nonetheless, with the two-week hiatus,

I believe it was two weeks. We have come to episode 199. So I want to talk

a little bit about nature and man's authority to tinker with nature.

And I think we need to talk through these things because there is a culture-wide reductio ad absurdum going on and you might know

instinctively I hope you do know instinctively that a trick is being pulled, but you might have trouble answering the trick or explaining

why we should pay no attention to what's being suggested.

So we are living in a time when people are seriously maintaining

that sex change operations are a thing,

that it's possible for someone to go through surgery

and thereby change their sex. So they had a sex that was

assigned to them at birth and they say gender is a completely different thing from that.

And so you can later on go in and get a sex realignment surgery to get your sex to match up with your gender.

So the statement a man, this man was, or this person, this individual was a man born in a woman's body or a woman trapped in a man's body and

for many people that sort of statement makes sense.

And of course Christians object to this and object to it violently

and regard it rightly as an abomination. So this is abominable. This is really bad. Don't do it, we say.

Now what happens is people will come back and say, and this is where the argument sometimes gets funky for us.
