The program Faith and Reason recently hosted Dr. Michelle Cretella, a pediatrician and child advocate, for a powerful dialogue on the excesses of transgender ideology. Alongside John-Henry Westen and Deacon Keith Fournier, she exposed the false foundations of this movement, denouncing in particular the mutilations inflicted on minors and its radical contradiction with Christian anthropology.
Sex and Gender: A Deliberate Confusion
From the outset, Michelle Cretella recalled immutable biological truths. "Sex is an objective reality, determined at conception by genes, and oriented toward reproduction," she affirmed. "It is binary, innate, and unchangeable: neither clothing, hormones, nor surgeries can alter it." As for gender, reduced today to masculine or feminine stereotypes, it has been hijacked, according to her, by radical activists. "A boy who likes dolls would suddenly be 'born in the wrong body,' in contempt of common sense," she lamented.
The specialist traced the emergence of this confusion to the late 1950s, under the influence of psychologist John Money. "This troubling figure, implicated in the abuse of minors, redefined 'gender' to justify surgical experiments on transsexual patients," she explained. Money allegedly imposed the idea of an "internal gendered identity," independent of the body, thereby infiltrating medical circles.
Questioned by Deacon Fournier on the medical approach, the pediatrician condemned bodily mutilations in favor of respectful psychological support. "This ideology denies our embodied nature, willed by God. Christ teaches us that man is an inseparable body, soul, and spirit. Trans activists, however, reduce identity to fleeting feelings, rejecting the wisdom of the Creator," she emphasized.
Referring to a recent article citing a young disabled woman undergoing a double mastectomy, Dr. Cretella warned of "the horror of these irreversible practices, inflicted on vulnerable children." She also praised the testimony of a repentant surgeon, speaking of a "necessary conversion of hearts in the face of this pseudo-medical barbarism."
In conclusion, the guest exhorted the faithful to resist this "revolt against the natural order," recalling that true compassion guides toward truth, not falsehood. To hear this crucial interview in its entirety, the program Faith and Reason remains available online.
In a world where reason yields to ideology, this insight reminds us of the urgency to defend the physical and spiritual integrity of the littlest ones, entrusted to our protection.
