Help! I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body

It was more than two decades ago that I first recall hearing Rush Limbaugh claim his own sexual identity was that of a male lesbian.

I remember quite clearly because I had just collaborated with him on his No. 1 New York Times best-selling book, aptly titled, "See, I Told You So." Indeed he did.

He had just read about a study of men who identified with lesbianism, and, since Rush has a knack for exposing the absurd by being absurd, he decided to adopt this identity as his own. After all, if he were a male lesbian, he would presumably be attracted to women. And since he is a male and is attracted to women, he must be a male lesbian.

Occasionally, even decades later, Rush still gets a phone call on his radio show from some wise guy who begins his conversation by proclaiming "male lesbian dittos" – which indicates the caller identifies with the talk host's condition.

By the way, it's worth pointing out that when Rush first made this point, there had never been a suggestion by anyone on the face of the earth that marriage should be open to same-sex couples. That's worth noting, because 20 years is not a long time. Human history goes back 6,000 years, and there is no record of anyone of note proposing same-sex marriage in the first 5,880 of those years. That's significant, because in less than two decades "same-sex marriage" has become a human rights issue, a matter of "equality," as important and profound an issue as slavery and the right to terminate the life of one's unborn child.

This thought about Rush's brilliant and insightful monologue about being a male lesbian came to me as I was pondering the latest rage and fascination – transgenderism.

I can understand that some men are sexually attracted to other men. That doesn't surprise me. Though I have never experienced such feelings, I have always known men who feel that way. Who doesn't? I can also understand some women being attracted to women. In fact, I can identify with that. I have always been attracted to women. It's a little hard for me to figure out why anyone, even women, would be attracted to men. I can only assume it must have something to do with the innate desire for reproduction and family.

What I cannot understand, for the life of me, is why a man would want to undergo surgical mutilation of his body and hormone injections to transform his body to "become a woman." Nor can I understand the reverse inclination – why a woman would want to endure such processes to "become a man."

To me it's just tragic – a kind of pathology, possibly a hormonal condition or a mental illness, something clearly better dealt with through therapy. Yet, coinciding with this new fad is the banning of "reparative therapy" that might actually offer help to such people without the use of a scalpel and anesthesia.

But, leaving that aside, I think Rush was on to something in the 1990s when he embraced "male lesbianism."

Maybe that's what we all need to do to insulate ourselves from condemnation, persecution, hate speech, name-calling, intimidation and to avoid the ugliness of what is surely coming as the human order is turned upside-down and inside-out by sexual anarchists.

Let's embrace the minority deep within us. I'm coming out today – as a male lesbian. But I am even part of a more distinct minority than that. I am a monogamous, Christian, liberty-loving male lesbian who doesn't think for a moment that government – federal, state or local – has any authority messing with a God-ordained institution like marriage that pre-exists the institution of the state.

There – I said it. And I feel good about it. It's a very liberating feeling to unburden myself. I feel a deep sense of satisfaction. I'm practically giddy. In fact, I feel queerly gay about this entire discovery.

After all, which of the following is more absurd?

• two men getting married, with no hope of reproduction, for the sake of redefining marriage and family;
• two women getting married, with no hope of reproduction, for the sake of redefining marriage and the family;
• men and women surgically transforming their sexual organs from useful to non-useful and taking injections to support that desire, with no hope of reproduction;
• or empowering the state to play God by turning humanity's order upside-down and inside-out, for the sake of allowing a tiny minority to redefine marriage and the family, the very building block of any functional and self-governing society.

To me, the last choice is, far and away, the most absurd and destructive of all.
