– He was the speaker of the round table discussion on progressive ideologies, especially gender ideology. What do you think, should we consider this a science, a scientific ideology, or is it much more related to political movements?
– Gender ideology claims the right to be based on science, but then every flawed progressive ideology claims to be scientifically based. For example, this was the case 100 years ago with racial health science, which at the time was said to be the best science. But if you look at the details that are brought up about gender ideology, it turns out that it has nothing to do with scientific validity. It is based on the ideology that the basis of biology, i.e. gender duality, the difference between man and woman, is not the real truth in terms of human reality. According to them, reality is based much more on the psychic self, solely on one's own inner vision regarding one's gender, which determines who one is. Gender ideology claims that if there is a discrepancy between the gender a person feels and the gender determined by their body, then this should primarily be treated not by bringing the person closer to their body, but rather by modifying the body to what is in the head live This is the basic idea, and it is not clear how it can be scientifically proven. After all, if gender, as felt by oneself, does not only exist in the head, then it follows that this specific metaphysical phenomenon is only tried to be disguised as science.
– If you try to think through all of this with a clear head, it's quite absurd how you can still enter the mainstream of thinking in scientific circles.
"That's the problem with all the crazy ideas of becoming popular, in the face of all the facts that show it's impossible." So it was with Marxism at the time; anyone who understood economics said from the beginning that a centralized economy where price played no role was impossible, and yet it was when half the world was ruled by marxist regimes. The same is the case with our current topic: it seems like an absurd idea, but it matches the goals of certain people. Gender ideology should not be seen as a clear and consistent philosophy, but rather as a cultural battering ram. Ultimately, it is a program that abolishes the family and all categories by which we define the world, allowing gender ideologues to replace it with something else. They are not so much concerned with what comes next, only with destroying what exists. What is coming is only the concern of political radicals, gender ideologues are only interested in ending the current order, rather than thinking about what comes after.
- It is possible to destroy it, but they also argue with really nice words, it is nicely packaged. Inclusion, equality, or equalization for everyone, let everyone live and flourish as they want... freedom. But then, in a society, at least some anchors must exist.
- That's right. Any just and reasonable social order must be tied to reality itself. And you cannot want a political ideology that goes against, for example, biology itself. Gender ideology, on the other hand, is contrary to the basic truth of biology, since if we know anything about humans, it is that we are mammals and we are individuals with sex, which has two forms, male and female, in harmony with each other. And there are only two types of gametes, the male gametes and the fertilizing females. There is no third. And if we can't grasp that, we can't understand anything. So, if any civilization and culture cannot recognize this, in which the equality of men and women naturally exists in a metaphysical sense, but there are real differences between them. Without this realization, I don't think there is any hope for humanity's continued existence and prosperity.
- Following the news in recent weeks, there was one that showed the irony of it all. Maybe it was in New York State where they changed the rule about usable words. And they managed to achieve what he described in the title of Arthur Miller's play, Death of a Salesman in English, which refers to a man. The state banned the term "salesman" and replaced it with "salesperson", which does not refer to gender. And this practically resulted in the businessman's death. It also kind of shows the irony in what's going on with this whole thing.
"Totally, and this may seem like an artificial example, but it shows that language does not change organically, as it should naturally, but is changed specifically for political reasons." And this is what happens when we abandon all reference to biological sex and replace it with gender identity. The fact that the reference to gender identity is considered a real thing in itself has already gained too much space. As a man, I do not have a male identity, but simply know myself to be a man, just as we do not use to say that we have a mammalian identity while we are aware that we are mammals. So we have to be very careful with the language we use. When they try to force us to use other terms, we need to be very aware of what is going on. Gender ideologues are way ahead of most of us. I often say that they use the same words, only they have a different dictionary for them, they mean completely different words than we do.
– Where do you think this process leads for a society? Will it continue to develop in this direction, or will there come a point where it collides with so-called common sense?
– I hope that it collides with common sense, this obviously has to happen, because it is so out of touch with reality, just as the Soviet Union eventually had to collapse because it was in conflict with economic realities. Yet it persisted for 70 years and millions of people suffered and died as a result. I hope that in this case, because it is so contrary to common sense, that it will disappear quickly, before hundreds of thousands of infertile children fall prey to this ideology.
- Large companies will also leave these ideas behind, because now large companies, technology companies, and entertainment companies are claiming them as their own. Half of Hollywood, or even more, thinks in terms of these terms.
"That's right, but there will be a point when we reach the peak of the ideology's popularity." A good part of the public actually does not even understand what is being said here and how far this matter has already gone. But when more and more people realize what a crazy ideology it is, then it will all backfire, there will be a huge backlash, and at that point these big companies will also rethink part of their strategy. There will come a time when listening to these activists will have a serious economic price for them to pay if they continue to support this.
– As for the party political implications of all this, what do we see in the competition between Democrats and Republicans?
– This is a decisive moment at a time when the Democrats have also committed themselves directly to the ideology to such an extent. Both President Biden and the federal government are pushing the language of gender ideology. However, the vast majority of the public, when asked, opposes these things. They are against boys competing in sports with girls or being able to use the girls' shower, which are really basic things. And I honestly think that we can successfully fight this, and on the other hand, the Republicans can also benefit from this in a political sense, since we are talking about a very unpopular idea. Although at this point, my impression is that with a few great exceptions, like Gov. Ron DeSantis, the majority of Republicans are not vocal in their opposition. So more Republicans should realize that they can build political success on this.
