The EU is pushing laws which would make teaching or cultivating distinctions of gender illegal. I have written about this and I am becoming more and more concerned for catechesis in the future. The Church's age old teaching on male and female differences would be under threat.

I have written many times on the dangers of androgyny. Now, it is possible that the teaching of Christians regarding man and woman, "male and female He created them" as being God-given identities would become underground teaching.
The Scriptures, both in the Old and New Testament provide clarity as to the differences of male and female. St. Paul outlines sins connected to "effeminacy". But, of course, he was writing to the Greco-Roman cultures which had already seen the dangers of the blurring of the genders. In The Republic by Plato, there are references to weak, effeminate men. Aristotle warns of the dangers of soft, weak men and goes further in stating that effeminacy is linked to too much luxury. One can see that in our highly materialistic, hedonistic society.
Gender blurrings are part of the lgtb agenda to change the culture. St. Paul helps us under stand how serious these blurrings can be. Notice that this is a separate category of serious sin. Sodomites are separated form the effeminate. I give three translations.1 Cor 6:9-10
"Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor sodomites, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God." King James Version
Do you not know that unjust will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers, nor boy prostitutes, nor sodomites...." New American Version
Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, not idolators, nor adulterers. Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall posses the kingdom of God. Douay Rheims
Some Scripture scholars and theologians do not like the new translation of effeminate as boy prostitutes. One can argue about this. But the point is that God's natural law is being violated even in law.
Without a culture based on Revelation and natural law, there is only barbarism.
