Regulating Gender?

“The State does not have the authority to regulate your gender.”

Created by the Libertarian Party of Washington

1.) It’s true that the State does not have the authority to do what only God has the ability to do. It’s also true that the individual does not have the authority to regulate their gender since it is not possible to regulate gender. Any idea of anybody or any institution having the ability or authority to regulate gender is just an absurdity.

2.) However the State while not having the authority to regulate gender (since it is not possible to do so) the State does that the authority and responsibility to recognize gender. For example, for decades the State properly-recognized gender by not allowing women to be drafted into the military. The State also once properly-recognized gender by issuing passports that labeled the recipient as “male” or “female.”

3.) This proves again that Libertarianism is not an answer to Marxism. Libertarianism is merely Marxism as applied to the sovereign individual. Libertarianism does for the individual what Marx did for the State. Some of Karl Marx’s most vile words were directed at Max Sterner who convincingly demonstrated that Marx’s principles should apply to the individual as sovereign as opposed to the State as sovereign.

4.) While the State does not have the authority to regulate gender (because it is not possible to regulate on that which is not regulatable) the State does have the authority and responsibility to regulate those who are seeking to regulate against those who are seeking themselves to individually regulate that which is not regulatable. In other words, the State has the authority and responsibility to keep insane people, no matter how high functioning they are in their insanity, off the streets. No social-order can possibly function for very long when insane people in significant numbers are allowed to dictate their own reality and then gaslight their fellow citizens into respecting their gaslighting.

Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.
