I AM AS concerned as writer Norman Plaisted (Letters, January 3), about what I would term the sexual revolution which is taking place, and in particular, how damaging it is for our young people.

Mr Plaisted specified same-sex relationships. As we know, in 2014, our ruling class meddled with marriage, leaving us now with two kinds - the real thing, and the other which flies in the face of our creator’s perfect design for mankind.

Fast on the heels of this came the promotion of gender ideology or transgenderism; the warped thinking that one should be free to adopt a gender which is at variance with one’s biological sex.

With the possible exception of extremely rare cases of developmental abnormality, one’s gender is firmly fixed at conception, so it should go without saying that it is physically impossible to change sex.

Those suffering from gender dysphoria (the desire to change sex) deserve our sympathy, but these feelings ought not to be endorsed.
