Gender policy in Parliament
Lvov, 9 December 2011
To Members of the Ukrainian Parliament
“On 6 December 2011, 15 MPs of different factions of the Ukrainian Parliament joined together for the purpose of promoting gender policy. It concerns the following Members of Parliament: Yuliya Kovalevska (Party of Regions), Olena Kondratyuk (Batkivshchyna), Iryna Herashchenko, joined by Olga Herasymyuk, Olga Bodnar, Elina Shyshkina, Olena Bondarenko, Ulyana Mostypan, Lesya Orobets, Zoya Shyshkina, Iryna Berezhna, Iryna Horina and three men Mykola Tomenko, Boris Tarasyuk, Alexis Plotnikov.” So much for the information from UNIAN.
What is hidden under the term “gender equality”? In 2005, Ukraine signed the Law “On Equal Rights and Opportunities for Women and Men”. Any sensible person understood the term of gender equality as equality between men and women. This means that they have equal rights to employment, health care, social security, political participation… In 2010, PACE Resolution 1728 gave a completely different meaning to the term “gender equality”. However, female gender ideologues now hypocritically appeal to the binding law adopted by Ukraine in 2005. Gender ideology presents the concept of “social gender”, which means that a person is born neither male nor female but chooses his or her gender identity in the course of life. This gender schizophrenia is one of the standards of the EU and the UN. An absurd change of thought caused a complete revolution in the understanding of moral and spiritual values of society. This revolution had an impact on both the political system and legislation. In Ukraine, there have been gender centres illegally established at regional and district administrations, and the whole educational system had to change the curriculum and adopt programmes and courses based on gender ideology.
Gender ideology in essence promotes the ideology of homosexualism in education, culture and in all spheres of life. It also seeks to promote so-called homophobic and anti-discrimination laws. This means, for example, that if parents will defend their children against moral devastation and homosexual violation, they will be punished by fines and imprisonment. These are so-called euro standards.
Gender ideology promotes transsexualism, which means that a woman can declare herself to be a man and vice versa, and then has the right to a gender-change surgery. Gender ideology uproots normal thinking and undermines life stability in earliest childhood. Children are taught no longer to respect the reality that they are boys or girls but to adopt a perverted view that they can choose who they are. Child’s mind uncritically accepts everything from adults as from authority. This will result in mental disintegration of the young generation already in kindergartens. These are targeted programmes of genderists. They argue that forcing gender schizophrenia on children at the age of eight is too late. This is a crime. Psychological violence used against children leads to disintegration of personality – schizophrenia. In addition, gender ideologues demand laws according to which all who use the forms of address “mum” or “dad” are outside the law. This means a complete loss of family background. The child will never more be able to grow into a mature, responsible person. Abnormal thinking is reflected in all spheres of life. People who embrace gender ideology are not able to establish a family and make the sacrifices associated with family life. Genderists have even gone so far as to label a mother who has a child and cares for it as an “idiot” and an expectant mother as one carrying “a parasite that lives at her expense”. This is so-called “protection of children”. Gender policy is based on total lies. Behind lofty phrases such as “protection of children” or “rights of children” is in fact hidden moral degradation and removal of children from their parents. Behind the lofty term “protection of women” is hidden the greatest violence, when women are deprived of their children without any reason. Such perverse change in thinking totally destroys the loving relationships and life of happiness within the family.
Furthermore, gender schizophrenia is associated with the juvenile justice system which removes children from decent families without trial and without reason and gives them up for so-called international adoption – in fact it is the sale of children to gays, lesbians and paedophiles, in some cases even for organs. In 2010, during a campaign against family violence in Ukraine, three mothers committed suicide after being deprived of their beloved children.
Dear Members of Parliament, the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate is obliged before God and before the Ukrainian nation to warn You against gender schizophrenia. If our Patriarchate was silent, it would bear the full responsibility and blame for the forthcoming moral, spiritual and physical genocide of Ukraine.
