Speechlessly Heartbroken!

Look at this beautiful little girl- how in the world could anyone even THINK to perform unnecessary surgery on her gentils and forcing her to then take hormone injections for the rest of her life so she can become a little boy, all so her parents won't have to pay a dowry on her wedding day? 

I seriously don't know where to begin with this entry.  My mind is all over the place.  There was an article I came upon today that tore my sanity to shreds.  This article describes the trend of some Indian parents who are willing to pay to turn their young daughters into sons through surgery and hormone injections.

Dear God in Heaven, what are we doing to ourselves???  To our CHILDREN?!

I mean, you can't just cut away a vagina, slap on a penis and expect the physiological, biological, psychological and emotional areas that are completely unreachable with a scalpel to fall in line! 

As these young "boys" grow older and begin to have feelings for other boys, does this make them homosexual?  Or when they marry other women (themselves being women with an un-consented to masculine yoke) does THIS, in effect, become a sort of "approved" homosexuality? 

And what of the problems related to infertility?  Already baby girls are being aborted en masse as a result of patriarchal societal pressure - there simply aren't enough women to sustain the population at the current rate.  And to take those few remaining gems and mutilate them to "benefit" from male children only worsens the problem! 

What will happen, India, when you need to import women?  The sex slave trade will only become more prevalent, and even make worse the already horrible problem of children concubines. 

How have we, as a race of humans, allowed ourselves to become so selfish... so arrogant... so FOOLISH as to think we are gods, capable of creating and destroying and altering life as we see fit?  Do we really think there are no consequences to our actions?  Do we really think that destroying our dignity in such vile, irreversible ways will go unnoticed? 

Dear God, I truly pray for your 2nd Coming.  We need You to dispel the darkness that covers our eyes, ears and hearts.  We willingly give our souls over to Hell, and only solidify our damnation with each step we take.  Come to us, Holy Spirit, and open our eyes to the horrors we are forcing upon our children.  Don't let us stand idly by as satan gleefully pushes us off the precipice into the abyss.  Save us, Merciful Jesus, and hide us in Your Wounds.  Pour out your Mercy, so that we may be cleansed in the sight of the Father.
