| 0:00.0 | It's Tuesday, January 25, 2022. I'm Albert Moller and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. the We're talking about something like the blink of an eye, even in the lifespan of many |
| 0:25.1 | people now living. It is a very recent phenomenon. If you were to go back 20 or 25 years, |
| 0:31.8 | you would find the language we now know so commonly about the |
| 0:35.6 | transgender revolution becoming a part of the national vocabulary but at the |
| 0:40.5 | same time you did not see the issue treated with the kind of moral imperative that is now being driven by transgender activists |

| 2:16.1 | time under whatever conditions gets to say I am this gender or that gender or no gender at |
| 2:21.4 | all and demand whatever medical response might be desired |
| 2:25.6 | or demanded at the moment. |
| 2:27.1 | And the medical community is supposed to just respond with it. |
