Transgenderism Two: Evidence and Identity

by Francis Etheredge

Over the course of a number of years, the author has gravitated to a question which has come to the fore more and more: Can a person change his or her sex? What seemed like an occasional, anecdotal questioning, has emerged as a major crisis, especially among young people and their families. But, what is more, this is not an abstract question; it has profound implications for the health and well being of many people, many institutions, and society as a whole.

As we explore the roots of this phenomenon we begin to realise that it has grown out of an anti-woman feminism which goes back decades and which, like a virus, has spread far and wide, residing in many institutional policies, mentalities, and encroaching upon justice in the workplace and in society generally. But, going further than describing the extent and nature of gender ideology, an idea that has been imposed on people and societies, it is necessary to examine its explicit or implied philosophy. For, with respect to an increasing number of young people, often girls, it is leading to the life-changing destruction of healthy sexual organs which, in some cases, are replaced with “facsimiles” of the opposite sex.

Drilling down, then, into human identity entails focusing on the depths of the human person, the crucial sensitivity needed to aid each young person with his or her formation. But, in view of the society in which we live, this book is also about being informed about the social context in which questions of identity are being asked and answered.

Testimonials

“In this sequel to his earlier book on Transgenderism, Francis Etheredge examines the political and social dynamics of the transgender movement. In a special way, he provides evidence of the harm done to women by transgender policies. He likewise explores the political landscape of transgenderism, taking note of recent efforts in the USA, the U.N., the United Kingdom, and Australia to promote and confront gender ideology. This book is highly recommended for all people of good will who are concerned about the spiritual and social realities of the transgender movement.” – Robert Fastiggi, Ph.D., Professor of Dogmatic Theology, Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Detroit, Michigan

“In Transgenderism Two: Evidence and Identity, author Francis Etheredge helps us further traverse the murky legal, social, political, and medical bioethics of the transgender world-wide landscape. From the United Nations to our state courtrooms to our community sports teams to our schools’ bathrooms to our own backyards, we need to know what we’re really dealing with in this rapidly disintegrating cultural malaise. Confused discussions, incorrect judgments, and myriad misperceptions flowing from radical gender ideology are leading to rampant discrimination and the physical, social, and emotional harming of, particularly, vulnerable young people and their families, as well as the entire society. Only when issues of gender identity and sexual confusion are considered in light of the deeper understanding of the truth, goodness, and beauty of the human person, the full meaning of man and woman, as such, and with acknowledgment of the hard work of honest compassion in truly painful circumstances, can insights be found to confront and defeat this perverse ideology.” – Kiki Latimer, author of Home for the Homily

“Francis Etheredge successfully and thoughtfully brings to light the greater questions associated with gender ideology relating to the dignity of the human person, cultures, medical procedures, and law. Through an honest discussion, he unveils discrepancies and unrealistic expectations of governments and societies in their perpetuation of gender ideology. Providing information, facts, and highlighting unresolved issues which have arisen in the above sectors, Etheredge demonstrates that far more needs to be done to protect our youth and societies to ensure their greatest good. —Kimberly Bruce, M.A. Theology, and author of The Gender Link to the Human Soul and Look at the SON: The Fruit of Medjugorje. She frequently writes for the Marian.org and TheDivineMercy.org websites and other Catholic media

“Francis Etheredge has taken on the challenge of consolidating current, interdisciplinary, evidence-based research essential for society’s understanding of best practices for people with gender dysphoria. This extensively researched book is a clarion call for a drastic change in direction. Minor children, especially, are at grave risk of being harmed by current medical approaches and, for that and other reasons, many jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, France and New Zealand, have stopped the use of puberty blockers and hormone treatments shown to cause harm. They all recommend ongoing monitoring and counselling as children develop through the natural stages. Etheredge’s passion and concern for the best interests of transgender people is rooted in his strong faith in the God who made us all in His own image and likeness as stewards of the gift of our bodies, not as owners who may choose to refashion our bodies as we desire.” – Dr. Moira McQueen, CCBI, University of St Michael’s College

Transgenderism Two: Evidence and Identity is a book whose time is now. In Transgenderism Two, Francis Ethridge combines sound philosophy, theology and medical science to guide readers through lucid critical thinking exercises regarding human identity and personhood. He reminds readers that these material and spiritual entities are perfectly united and rooted in Christ, as he simultaneously exposes how transgenderism deconstructs this reality and leads to harmful chaos. Given our Lady of Fatima’s warning against the pervasive ‘diabolical disorientation’ of modern times, Transgenderism Two: Evidence and Identity should be read by all Catholics—most especially parents and grandparents, teachers, theologians, health professionals, and the entire Catholic magisterium, from the humblest parish priest to the Pope himself.” – Michelle A. Cretella, MD, member of the board of the John Paul II Academy for Human Life and the Family, an international lay apostolate founded by the original members of St JP II’s Pontifical Academy of Life

Review by Christine Sunderland

Francis Etheredge, bioethicist and gifted writer, in this important sequel to Transgenderism: A Question of Identity, considers recent testimony and legal judgment that identifies who we are. The evidence is powerful, derived from the United Kingdom Supreme Court (April 2025), the United States Department of Health and Human Services (May 2025), and the Family Court of Australia (April 2025). In discussing these documents he explores the interweaving of law and license, of definitions and precedents, and the dangers of confusing and conflating opinion with fact.

 

The world is taking notice of clinicians who are possibly engaged in malpractice and, at the very least, are not respecting the vow to “do no harm” to their patients, conducting lucrative surgeries in this brave new world of gender dysphoria, insurance payments, and idealogue medicine.

 

The great threat, of course, is to vulnerable children, under the age of consent, who, through words and social media persuasion, make decisions regarding their gender. These are adolescents and younger, minors who cannot fully understand the life-altering consequences of their choices. As a result, healthy organs are removed without parental consent or with misinformed, coerced parental consent. Ideology has infiltrated medicine through schools and media. Those who disagree are silenced in the name of discrimination.

 

In his discussion of the formation of human identity, Etheredge considers the scientific consensus that concludes we are fully formed at conception and what this means in terms of our gender. With reference to numerous authorities and extensive footnoted research, he underpins his discussion with philosophy – truth and reality, words and meaning, giving the reader a foundation of reason. For we are outward creations of an inner reality, echoing the Christian definition of sacrament. It seems that we are, after all, sacramental and whole creatures, children of a loving God, created in his image.

 

As a mother, grandmother, and writer, I am particularly grateful for Francis Etheredge’s immense undertakings in this vital field of bioethics. As he ends on a hopeful note, I add my own hope that he finds a large audience for this commonsense and timely dose of truth and reality. Bravo!

The Invention of Philosophical Rationality: An Introduction to Philosophy by Way of the Presocratics by Fulvio Di Blasi

The Invention of Philosophical Rationality: An Introduction to Philosophy by Way of the Presocratics by Fulvio Di Blasi

The Invention of Philosophical Rationality: An Introduction to Philosophy by Way of the Presocratics

By Fulvio di Blasi

Fulvio Di Blasi’s The Invention of Philosophical Rationality explores the foundational role of Presocratic philosophy in shaping Western thought. Through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates philosophy, science, and theology, Di Blasi argues that early Greek thinkers were not merely precursors to modern science but authentic philosophers who pioneered rational inquiry. He emphasizes the transition from mythology to rationality, as seen in the works of Thales, Heraclitus, and Pythagoras, where logos (reason) and physis (nature) became key concepts in understanding reality​. The book critiques contemporary positivism, advocating for a holistic vision that acknowledges the interwoven nature of philosophy and theology. Di Blasi highlights Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas as key figures in advancing Presocratic insights, linking early metaphysical inquiries to modern philosophical debates. Written in an accessible style, the book serves as both an introduction to philosophy and a call to rethink the historical significance of early rational thought​.

Paperback $29.95 | Kindle $9.99

TESTIMONIALS

“There is no better way to introduce someone to philosophy than through the ideas of the very first philosophers, the Presocratics.  Fulvio di Blasi’s fine book does the job in a way that is agreeably relaxed and humorous in style without sacrificing philosophical depth.” – Edward Feser, Professor of Philosophy, Pasadena City College 

“Filled with engaging, probing, and student-friendly chapter-by-chapter narratives, glossaries, study questions, and further insights and reading recommendations, Fulvio Di Blasi’s The Invention Of Philosophical Rationality is an excellent introduction to philosophy that is suitable for a wide range of audiences—including those beginning in the sciences of physics, chemistry, and engineering. The book’s centerpiece consists in Di Blasi’s (i) ‘scientific’ approach whereby he shows that the Presocratics philosophize in a continuum concerning ‘the logic of becoming’ and (ii) serious consideration, as his final chapter encapsulates, of the intensive Presocratic concern with the cosmic place and role of divinity. While working through Presocratic philosophy in a manner pleasing to Aristotle in Metaphysics 1, Di Blasi straightforwardly and perceptively introduces his reader to the discipline of philosophy and to widely held philosophical presuppositions. Di Blasi’s book is a much-needed introduction To Philosophy By Way Of The Presocratics.” – Dr. Barry David, Department of Philosophy, Ave Maria University

“This is a remarkable text. When I received the manuscript, I asked why anyone would teach the Presocratics to undergraduates. But now I see that the idea is brilliant. The biggest challenge in teaching philosophy to undergraduates is to show why we do philosophy in the first place. Di Blasi takes us back to the original philosophers who asked those fundamental questions that lie at the heart not only of philosophy but of science and every other branch of learning. To contemporary minds These Presocratics may seem wrong-headed, but the questions they asked were astute and reveal the questions that we too often unconsciously pass over. Here is an excellent book to get undergraduates—and perhaps the rest of us—thinking aright.” – Dr. Adrian J Reimers, Professor of Philosophy, Holy Cross College, South Bend, Indiana

Covid 19 and the War Against Reality by Thaddeus J. Kozinski, Ph.D.

Covid 19 and the War Against Reality by Thaddeus J. Kozinski, Ph.D.

Covid 19 and the War Against Reality

By Thaddeus Kozinski, Ph.D.

This book puts into spiritual, theological, philosophical, psychological, moral, historical, cultural, and political perspective the incredible evil we have witnessed and suffered over the past four years, amounting to the greatest crime against humanity ever committed. The plandemic was not only an all-out assault on every human being on the planet, but also an assault on reality itself. Though its most obvious effects were economic and political, at its core it was a spiritual and psychological-terror operation knowingly and deliberately orchestrated by a small global elite of unspeakably evil and psychopathic people. It was executed by a larger group of lower-tier cooperators ignorant of the master plan but vicious enough to use their power and influence to inflict untold harm on those in their charge. And it was enabled by the masses of idolatrous, fearful, alienated, rootless, selfish, and cowardly men, the rotten fruit of godless and decadent liberalism. How did this happen, where are we now, and how should we prepare spiritually for what is coming? Why did God allow such evil? How can we best dispose our souls to be in union with and conduits of God, Who alone can defeat this diabolical evil? This book tries to answer these questions.

REVIEWS

John Waters, “Liberalism: The ‘god’ that failed” (March 23, 2025), John Waters Unchained. Click here to read the review.

TESTIMONIALS

“The book discusses the perceived rise of a global totalitarianism under the cover of the COVID-19 pandemic, framing it as a spiritual and moral crisis that challenges the concept of objective reality and sacred truth. The thesis is persuasive; the argument forceful; the writing colorful; and the diagnosis and cure provocative. Still, all this is not entirely new; indeed, the cure recalls the traditional idea of Catholic and liberal education which revolutionized European culture and progressively the world. For instance, Kozinski particularly stresses the reading of Plato and Shakespeare alongside the Bible. He proposes the founding on such a basis of a new university: RCU or Real Christian University. Such liberal arts education is crucial, he says, but it is not enough. There must also be an existential encounter with God; not with mere doctrine (secular or religious): the whole man, body and soul, must be formed.” – Peter Simpson, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and Classics, City University of New York

“Everything, literally everything, they told us in 2020 and after was a lie, and these lies were aimed at the total subjugation of society and human souls.” So writes Thaddeus Kozinski in an uncompromising critique of the spiritual rot engendered by the Western Enlightenment and political liberalism, culminating in an unprecedented attack on human dignity by the governments of liberal democracies during the “Covid-19” debacle. The reason why populations allowed this to happen was their “obedience to the Sacred State and the demonic voice speaking through it.” Too many people have turned away from the Good, the True, and the Beautiful — from God — and are instead willing to live in a manufactured unreality. Only a reorientation of the social and political order around the truths revealed in the Catholic tradition and aspiration towards holiness of soul offer any hope of a remedy. Yet, with so many people choosing unreality, not least those hiding beneath a pious facade, and with the professions universally corrupted, Kozinski argues that we must prepare ourselves spiritually for the Great Tribulation and the arrival of Antichrist. This is a bold book that is unafraid to call out the evil in our world for what it is, and to consider what kind of education is required in the Age of Unreality.” — Dr. David A. Hughes, author of “Covid-19,” Psychological Operations, and the War for Technocracy, Volume 1 and Wall Street, the Nazis, and the Crimes of the Deep State

“Thaddeus Kozinski is a teacher who turns your thinking upside down, destroys the order of your thoughts and insists that there is a better way of putting them together.  What he deals with here is the question of evil, which he tells us is not a problem but a mystery. His laboratory sample is the plandemic of 2020. He takes apart this mystery, which so many us have pondered for five years, and shows us that our understandings have been tentative, partial. We need to go deeper into things, he plausibly insists, to go to the centre of all meanings, for that is where the truth about this, and everything, resides. He diagnoses the roots of what has happened in that perversion of freedom, liberalism, an ideology of counterfeit liberty. But he cuts deeper than sociological or ideological analysis, to expose why even Christ’s own Church became implicated in the evil-doing. These events, he outlines, are the culmination of Biblical prophecies and warnings, and are therefore to be seen as the inevitable outcome of man’s rejection of God. What is happening to the world now is, accordingly, being permitted by God as a means of restoring His authority over his creation. When, in the past five years, we have heard people speak of what has been happening as a ‘spiritual war’, it has not always been clear what this means. In this book we find the answer: it is ultimately a war declared by men against God, and which is therefore, ultimately, a war declared by man upon himself. This is a book for both the faithful and the faithless, for it speaks to the part of each of us that is eternal, even if in spite of ourselves.  When Thaddeus Kozinski proposes as the beginnings of a solution what he calls “existential Christianity,” he is acknowledging the linguistic trap into which man has painted himself: he is not God but has abolished God, and so must replace him, even in his total inadequacy.  Only in seeing this, can we perceive the error of the totalitarians, and grasp the formula by which to pursue their banishment.” — John Waters, Thinker, Talker, and Writer 

“The world has nowhere come to full consciousness of what happened to us from 2020-2023 under the pretense of mastering the microbial kingdom. They targeted all human life in what amounts to a coup against civilization and its foundational moral and spiritual principles. This is where Thaddeus Kozinski comes in to offer an even deeper analysis that speaks to theological concerns, the replacement of an organic liturgy of life with a manufactured one straight out of the worst dystopian novel. It’s no wonder people are in denial. This book reveals the fullness of what happened as a path toward spiritual healing.” — Jeffrey Tucker, Founder and President, Brownstone Institute

“With clarity, urgency, and profound charity, Thaddeus Kozinski argues that liberalism is the ideological medium of totalitarianism, and correspondingly, that modernity is the historical vessel of the worldly west’s collective “perfect possession,” that starkest spiritual condition, marked by a hermetic severance (psychic as well as intellectual) from the Divine. From this unfolds the inevitability of an eschatological moment—our moment—looming with the horrors of anomos, the man of lawlessness: Antichrist, against whom there is no secular or political hope whatsoever. To the scapegoating bloodlust which anomos recently unleashed in the modern liberal leviathan, Kozinski responds with a vision of that mercy inhabiting (as he ventures to call it) “the Divine Revelation of evil.” In light of which anyone still capable of listening is summoned to observe the only Perfect Sacrifice, and this in humble submission to His cosmic authority and faultless love for us. Which alone reveal the profane blood rites of our satanic elite for what they are, and what they portend: the dread yawning of hell’s gates, amid which salvation beckons this last time.” —Thomas Breidenbach, poet, parapolitical researcher, and author of IX XI and the Mysteries of State (in manuscript)
