It might not be a popular belief anymore, but when you are looking for the truth, everything else does not matter. And the truth I still believe, without apology, is this: God created us male and female.
That’s not an opinion. That’s not an interpretation. That’s the first chapter of the Bible, plain and simple. “So God created man in His own image… male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27). That’s where it all starts.
But today, that belief puts you on the outside. It’s not enough to quietly disagree when you’re expected to affirm, to comply, to pretend. If you don’t, you’re labeled closed-minded, uneducated, or worse. Even in churches, some pastors are walking back biblical truths to avoid offending people. But watering down God’s Word doesn’t make it easier. Instead, it makes it hollow.
Male and female are not interchangeable titles. They are designations of divine purpose. They are part of God’s order, woven into every living thing.
We see it all around us. Young people are anxious, depressed, and unsure of who they are. Schools and media tell them that gender is whatever you want it to be, whenever you want it to change. But in offering unlimited options, we’ve taken away one of the most stabilizing truths about the reassurance that who they are and how they were made is not a mistake.
Believing that God created us male and female isn’t hateful. It’s not narrow. It’s honest. And it’s compassionate, too. Because when you believe that God doesn’t make mistakes, you’re also saying to every confused, hurting person: you were created with intention. You are not an accident of identity. You are seen. You are known. And you were designed on purpose.
In Call Me Mom: A Child’s Refusal to Bend the Truth, Dr. Christopher King shares what it felt like to grow up watching this truth be challenged in the most personal way possible. His father transitioned and wanted to be called “Mom.” As a boy, Chris was told to accept it, believe it, and say it. But everything in him said, “This isn’t right.” He wasn’t angry. He wasn’t hateful. He was just trying to hold on to something true.
Even when the courts disagreed. Even when therapists tried to change his mind. Even when the world told him he was wrong. He held onto the truth because he believed what the Bible said, which anchored him through confusion, addiction, and pain.
You don’t have to agree with every page of his story to understand why it matters. This book is a reminder that God’s truth still stands, even when everything around us tries to rewrite it.
If you’ve ever felt pressure to compromise your beliefs… if you’ve ever wondered whether standing firm is still worth it… if you still believe in the God who made male and female, Call Me Mom is a book you need to read.
