PermalinkUniversity of North Carolina Chapel Hill on Wednesday, saying that
American societys embrace of transgenderism was teaching people to
live a lie.
Klavan, who was brought to campus by the Young Americas Foundation,
spoke to the college students about modern cultures conception of the
self in a speech entitled, Sex, God, and Liberty. During a Q&A
session after the speech, Klavan was asked to expound on his thoughts
on transgenderism and why so many young people were starting to
identify as transgender.
Klavan, host of The Andrew Klavan Show, said that he believed that
transgenderism denied reality and that people needed to push back
acceptance of it in a loving way.
Were teaching people to live a lie, were teaching people that if
they can just bully everybody into believing the lie it will somehow
magically become true, and that has its roots in postmodern theory
where language creates reality, which it just doesnt. Language
describes reality, Klavan said. All of these things to me are
tremendously damaging and are going to get worse until people start
pushing back against it in a loving way.
The bestselling author said that some young people were being pushed to
embrace transgenderism because they believed that all men and all women
needed to be exactly the same. He said that this belief was leading
them to adopt an identity he said would be harmful to them.
I know people, young people who are having this problem and it breaks
my heart because I think that moving into an area of falsehood is going
to make them miserable in the long run, Klavan said.
Earlier in his speech, Klavan talked about the push for people to
accept the phrase trans women are women, a slogan frequently posted
across X. Klavan said the problem with the statement was that it was
not true and it would lead to people living unhappy lives.
He added that transgender ideology seemed to specifically target women
because of the modern disdain for true femininity.
I can tell you from a lifetime of experience that if you live by
things that are untrue you will be miserable, Klavan said. Its just
not a true statement. Words have meanings and the meanings of those
words dont make any sense. You can change, declare the meaning, but we
all know what a woman is.
