Alternative Aims of Science: How Agendas Harm the Suffering

Posted: October 1, 2019
By: Frank J. Moncher, Ph.D.

When a scientific journal of a vaunted organization such as the American Medical Association (AMA) publishes research, there is a natural tendency to consider the findings to be reliable, valid and worthy of one’s attention and consideration.  But as in … Read

More Hope for the Trans-confused (and Their Healthcare Providers)

Posted: August 20, 2019
By: Frank J. Moncher, Ph.D.

Following on the Texas court ruling in 2016 which challenged the federal regulation that required doctors (even against their conscience or medical objection) to perform gender-transition procedures on children, there is now more encouraging news of efforts to both protect … Read

Gender Confusion In Our Families: How Does One Respond?

Posted: May 2, 2018
By: Frank J. Moncher, Ph.D.

The push by some segments of society to gain acceptance of the notion that a person has the right, and even duty, to define himself in whatever manner he feels is fitting has resulted in an increased number of people who are personally acquainted with someone not living in accord with his or her birth-sex. So, when neighbors, friends or family members say their child is “transgender,” how should one respond in a helpful and positive way?

Parents’ Rights In A Gendered World

Posted: February 28, 2018
By: Frank J. Moncher, Ph.D.

“Parents of a 17-year-old girl lost custody of their daughter for opposing her wish for transgender medical treatments” reads the headline. In reaching its decision, the court relied on medical professionals who testified that: “the father’s ongoing refusal to call the child by his (sic) chosen name and the parents’ rejection of the teen’s gender identity have triggered suicidal feelings…. He (sic) has been diagnosed with depression, anxiety disorder, and gender dysphoria, according to court records.” Removing the child from her parents’ custody, the court concluded, was in her best interest.

Boys Will Be Boys…. But Men Should Know Better

Posted: December 5, 2017
By: Frank J. Moncher, Ph.D.

Senators, actors, judges, producers, ex-presidents and celebrities of all stripes…so far. Surely, there are more to come. Why so many? Why now? Perhaps decades of feminizing and adrogenizing young boys, rather than being the promised elixir which protects females from being objectified, is really the proverbial road paved with good intentions. Perhaps what we really need, both men and women, is a virtuous masculinity, one that reflects the gifts and duties of being male: to protect, to serve and to provide. Read

A Reply To: “6 Reasons To Sext Your Husband”

Posted: November 30, 2017
By: Frank J. Moncher, Ph.D.

While researching the benefits of marriage, I was shocked to see a recommended article entitled “6 Reasons To Sext Your Husband” by Krystle Schoonveld, a military wife. Each of the 6 reasons provided is accompanied by an explanation, which, on the surface, might seem reasonable to many. However, each is not. And while her errors are not egregious or necessarily obvious, they are toxic nonetheless. Read

Child Sex Trafficking in the Philippines

Posted: October 31, 2017
By: Rose Brugger

Standing at the base of the Olongapo mountains, hemmed in on one side by a tropical forest and on the other by rows of rice fields, lies the residence of over 40 young girls. Most are between seven and seventeen years old. The youngest, Lea, is only five. All are victims of sexual abuse. When Lea first arrived six months earlier, she was emaciated and lethargic. Now, she runs and plays, winning nearly every game of tag. But she still has scars on her forehead and skull from the abuse she experienced at home. Read

Child Abuse Masquerading As Compassion: Parental Rights And Wrongs

Posted: September 7, 2017
By: Frank J. Moncher, Ph.D.

A Canadian (variously described as a transsexual or a non-binary transgender person) who does not identify as either male or female and uses the pronoun “they” to refer to [his or her]self personally and [his or her] child, is making big news, refusing to identify the sex of a child born earlier this year. Such a decision is not just an assault on clear speaking and English pronouns. It is an assault on something much more fundamental. Read
