Housing Secretary Scott Turner frames the change as restoring \u201cbiological truth\u201d to HUD policies and argues it will better protect women by ensuring facilities designated for women remain for actual women. The piece presents Turner\u2019s remarks in a strongly religious and conservative frame, describing transgender ideology as a challenge to divine creation and suggesting society should anchor itself to permanent realities rather than shifting definitions. It also notes implications for women\u2019s shelters and cites reactions from outlets like Fox News, framing the policy shift as part of a broader cultural and political debate over gender identity and public policy.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>In a long-overdue move, the administration of President Donald Trump is ordering the immediate halting of nonsensical red tape when it comes to housing.<\/p>\n<p>Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner made the remarks in a Thursday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hud.gov\/news\/hud-no-26-027\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news release<\/a> through HUD.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;God created two sexes: male and female.

Turner said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We, at this agency, are carrying out the mission laid out by President Trump on Jan. 20 &hellip; to restore biological truth to the federal government,&rdquo; he continued. &ldquo;This means recognizing there are only two sexes: male and female.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It means getting government out of the way of what the Lord established from the beginning when he created man in His own image.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Amen to that.<\/p>\n<p>Look, I would hope that no matter where one stands on the &ldquo;trans&rdquo; debate, you could agree that&nbsp;<em>men&nbsp;<\/em>have no place in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/womens-college-hit-with-civil-rights-complaint-for-admitting-men\/\" title=\"Women&#039;s College Hit With Civil Rights Complaint For Admitting Men\">private women&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s spaces. And the government, of all things, certainly has no business facilitating that dangerous arrangement.<\/p>\n<p>But it&rsquo;s Turner&rsquo;s last line that deserves another glance.<\/p>\n<p>At its core, transgenderism could easily be classified as a rebellion against one of the most basic facts of God&rsquo;s creation. The entire ideology is basically humans saying, &ldquo;God messed up, and I know better than He does.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Think about that for a moment. The left will be up in arms if, heaven forbid, some show like &ldquo;South Park&rdquo; were to mock Islam. But denigrating God on the daily is OK because, apparently, He&rsquo;s mistake-prone.<\/p>\n<p>(He obviously isn&rsquo;t.)<\/p>\n<p>This writer may not go this far, but there are some who would absolutely label the entire ideology of transgender as blasphemous, as it&rsquo;s basically insulting God. Given that, how can a God-fearing society ever be compatible with transgenderism?<\/p>\n<p>At some point, a society has to decide whether it&rsquo;s anchored to something permanent or just drifting with whatever feels persuasive in the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Policies like this suggest a line is being drawn &mdash; not out of spite, but out of a belief that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-maltese-falcon-and-zelenskyys-white-house-blow-up\/\" title=\"&#039;The Maltese Falcon&#039; and Zelenskyy&#039;s White House Blow Up\">reality isn&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t ours to reinvent on a whim.
