Don’t believe me? Try this one on for size (reformatted, emphasis mine):
In a turn of events, Shannon revealed after 14 years of marriage, her husband met someone online who led him through a “medical transition.” Her husband also lost interest in partaking in certain activities with their children that he previously enjoyed doing. Furthermore, Shannon explained how gender ideology destroys the family unit. She shared:
“I think that gender is a lie. I don’t think that anybody can ever accomplish the goal of completely becoming the opposite sex. I believe it’s fraudulent therapy and fraudulent medicine. And it creates a lot of problems, not just the destruction of a family, which is serious enough. [But also] the erasure of fathers.”
Shannon added, “There’s this idea that runs through our society with this in other areas that adult fulfillment is more important than the family, more important than the marriage, more important than commitment. And that is why it’s harming families.”
Shannon also said her husband’s transition felt as hurtful as an “affair.”
She’s right, you know. Being one’s “authentic self” puts themselves FIRST above all other committments including one’s vow to their spouse and to their children. Doing what this “husband / father did” is a total rejection of what a husband and father is supposed to be – a Servant / Leader. While being the leader of a household (and yes, I believe in the traditional and Biblical ordering of a family, it means service to your wife FIRST and service to your children NEXT. You’re supposed to be last.
This narcissist put himself FIRST and in doing so, willfully destroyed his wife, destroyed his children, and the family unit he had made a sacramental vow to protect. He was all happy-dappy to have “an affair” with himself.
How much more selfish could he have made himself.
Certainly, couldn’t get any more gullible, could he?
