THE IDEOLOGY OF GENDER
The idea that the individual is free to define himself or herself dominates the discourse about gender. Yet our human instinct dictates otherwise. Today we are faced with an ideology of gender which, in the words of POPE FRANCIS: "denies the difference and reciprocity in nature of a man and a woman and envisages a society without sexual difference, thereby eliminating the underlying basis of the family. This ideology leads to educational programmes and legislation that promote a personal identity and emotional intimacy radically separated from the biological difference between male and female. Consequently, human identity becomes the choice of the individual, one which can also change over time. It needs to be emphasised that biological sex and gender can be distinguished but not separated" (Amoris Laetitia 56) |
