Wicked Culture Will Trump Politics
Stephen McAlpine: “Trans isn’t really about trans. It’s about presenting a competing vision of humanity to the culture that reframes reality, redirects our teleology, which is now trans-human, actually.

Right? Here are a few reflections on what I learnt.” These are valuable reflections.

Gratitude is a lifestyle. A hard-fought, grace-infused, biblical lifestyle.
