Teachings Part 2

NINE GENERAL ANSWERS

  1. We recognize that our intelligence and potential make us different from other species of this world we share existence with, and that is what bestows upon us a unique responsibility towards our environments and planetary ecology as the custodians rather than the usurpers of nature and life.

  2. We acknowledge a depth of power far greater than that is apparent to the average person, which some may describe as supernatural or others simply as an aspect of nature that may erupt from time to tome without any notice. However, not everyone accesses and expresses it the same way and to claim otherwise is to deceive oneself as well as others.

  3. We recognize there are singularities and dualism and to try and force all under a concept of rigid balance and duality is a misrepresentation of life and nature as a whole. In that Druwayu is not a dualistic tradition or culture.

  4. We do recognize the necessity of some form of authoritarian hierarchy, yet one tempered by the will of the people and not as usurpers over the people, and without the recognition of such authority of leadership of such as elders, no culture or society can endure long or consistently.

  5. We honor and respect those teach rather than preach, and those who guide rather than demand, and impart such education without imposing themselves or their own opinions or decrees and refuse to submit to those that demand they perpetuate propaganda over facts, or those who impose policies of their own private creation over laws determined by the majority will and ruling of the people.

  6. As Druans, we are in no way threatened or intimidated by those wishing to denounce Druwayu because it is contrary to their particular assumed beliefs and teachings, or the facts of actual rather than invented histories designed to mislead and confuse the masses.

  7. We do not recognize the concept of a single all encompassing evil an parallel to an all encompassing singular good, nor give worship or devotion to some evil entity defined and conceptualized by some other couture or religion. This is not the same as saying we do not recognize the realities of good or evil, yet in that, we do not allow for the excuses of blaming or crediting one or the other type of things for any such thing chosen and initiated by the will of very real human beings themselves.

  8. Druwayu has never been intended to be some sort of ‘popularized” anything to be promoted or demoted as so many other things have been more or less actively perpetuated and distributed. This is also why much of the foundations of Druwayu as has been retained within this work has seldom been shared with others, other than a select few regardless if they necessarily comprehend all of the content or not.

  9. We reject any who proclaim their traditions to be “nature based” when clearly so much of their “traditions” foundations are based more on their own petty and perpetual persecuted victim complexes as justifications for their own bullying, sexism, and hate filled mental, emotional and often times physical abuses of others. That is also not compatible with Druwayu or its central foundations such as the Drikeyu.

​​

ELEVEN CORE PRINCIPLES OF BEING HUMAN

 

  1. We recognize that our intelligence and cognitive potentials gives us a unique responsibility toward our environment, one another and ourselves as individuals.

  2. We acknowledge a depth of power far greater than the apparent to the average person but do not perpetuate needless superstitions rhetoric or appeal to claims of the supernatural but rather recognize this power as lying within all things as the underlying bond of all.

  3. We neither need to condemn or justify sexual pleasure, nor use our culture, customs or traditions as an excuse for anything sexual or anything else.

  4. We recognize both outer and inner aspects of our being as the physical and psychological, emotional and instinctive as parts of the whole interwoven, and not as independent features or qualities of our total individual beings.

  5. We do not recognize or tolerate any totalitarian or fascist hierarchy, but do honor those who teach, respect those who share their greater knowledge and wisdom, and acknowledge those who have courageously given their live to insure our freedom and safety without compromising one for the other.

  6. We share in the goal is to live wisely and well rounded without doing needless harm to others and seeking to live in harmony with Nature in all of its clear and apparent wonders, beauty and even ugliness and always strive to explore it to the fullest of our abilities, yet do not demand all other must do the same.

  7. We believe in the promotion of life in a continuation of evolution and development of consciousness giving meaning to our individual and collective lives as we exist within this Universe we know and our personal and shared roles within it.

  8. We respect and acknowledge the free will and autonomy of the individual’s right to self determination so long as they respect and acknowledge the same for others and do not impose their own in place of others or others imposing their own on us or anyone else.

  9. We seek to end, to the best of our abilities any animosity towards any other religion, culture or philosophy of life to the extent that they reciprocate this same respect for peaceful coexistence with us and care little for arguments over things of the past for which we have no direct influence or involvement, and neither do they.

  10. We are not threatened by debates on any subject, be it aspects of our own culture, customs and tradition, our titles or anything else, the origins of various terms, the legitimacy of various opinions or demonstrable impersonal facts, and should not profess a claim of direct connections with anything seemingly similar to the past, nor impose presentism on the past, or seek to engage in historical revisionism derived from presentism.

  11. We do not accept the concepts of either absolute good or absolute evil, nor do we deny there are good or evil things, do not seek power through the suffering of others, nor accept that personal benefit can be derived only by denial of anything or anyone, nor accept any concepts of personal demands to strive for impossible things such as absolute perfection or purity just as none can ever reach perfect zero.

TWELVE PRIMARY INTENTIONS

  1. To clear out all the trapping of the concepts and snags of world religions and philosophy that has fallen into the rhetoric and fallacies of mysticism and occultism.

  2. To remove falsely imposed superstitions and misrepresentations that I have considered the nonsensical side of spirituality.

  3. To try and seek means to experience spiritual reality if it is real or end it if it’s not and to be honest with myself and others pertaining to such matters.

  4. To seek how things actually work and worked rather than simply make assumptions or apply needless or excessive embellishments.

  5. To focus on demonstrable and verifiable proof and counter all deceptions, including but not limited to such things as etymology which is fundamental to knowing and understanding what was meant by those who came long before us here and now.

  6. To remove all childish or silly concepts and seek peaceful coexistence with all including all modern imposed sexist nonsense of misogynists and misandrist on all sides of any debates, and more or less the nonsense of racist, ethnocentric separatist ideologies that should have no place in such matters as these.

  7. To acknowledge, and appreciate the distinctions and qualities of men and women and welcome both as equals in the quests of truth which is achieved when we accurate knowledge, clarity of wisdom and proper understanding of diverse kinds of subjects.

  8. To do away with clear and obvious unnatural things and perversions of the natural, or the decrees and whims of the violent and insane who use whatsoever identity or ‘definition’ as a mask as means to do such things, especially at the cost of the needless suffering and expenses of others.

  9. To seek to refine such knowledge over time and eventually share such refinements with the greater populations in hopes to create a stable and more human society and overall honorable and trustworthy tradition, culture and civilization.

  10. To remove all confusion imposed or invented and to counter all forms of deception, including the deception of self and others derived from many false and erroneous sources that either have no true knowledge or idea of what they are talking about or are blatantly lying to themselves and all others.

  11.  To temper and hone one’s mind and emotions and seek to improve the health of the mind, emotions and the body, rather than submit to purely reactionary responses and blind whims by using proper self-discipline and self-control that promotes thinking overreacting and mindful considerations over emotional responses. 

  12. To create a culture of peaceful reasonable coexistence as well as peaceful exchanges and sharing, as well as mutual support and defense, and a culture where authority is shared among all people and not vested in the hands of a single person or small group of self-appointed dictators and tyrants, while also not imposing oneself upon others or allow others to impose themselves upon the individual as itself a demonstration and expression of the truest sense of respect of self and others.  

TWENTY POINTS OF CONSIDERATION

 

  1. To seek to act and behave in harmony with the Drikeyu and not try to impose my own will or whims upon or in place of such thing because such us doomed to failure.

  2. By seeking to live and conduct oneself in harmony with the Drikeyu one is indeed acting in accordance with the wills of the One and Three.

  3. My life or death will not and does not pay for some sort of “debts” for sins or crimes or mistakes of all people, and it is instead through the sufferings we all endure, we learn both the importance of loyalty and obedience, but also the necessity of dedications d devotion.

  4. In this I can and will say to you that by setting aside any nonsensical doctrine of some sort of so called holy or profane sacrifice, so as to not end up being the latest installment of a bunch of babblers with no actions, exploring and contemplating the Drikeyu will help one come to gain some sort of insight to what can be called the will of the One and the Three, rather than desperately imposing their own and “hoping” for some demanded desire to be fulfilled “just because.” It’s not how that works.

  5. All things are indeed subject to the Drikeyu and by the Drikeyu are subjected to the ways and wills of the One and Three. By putting the Drikeyu before our own desires, dispositions and wills and contemplating their importance and significance, we are also opening u ourselves to likewise execute and fulfill the wall of God and the three Goddesses to the best of our abilities, we are giving true and proper “worship” to him and them that is not based in kind of blind devoting or superstitious fears.

  6. It is important that we do our best to getting out of our own ways and allowing the human to be human and the natural to be natural and reality to be reality regardless of any and all subjective conclusions or claims or excuses.

  7. I do not claim to be some sort of divine or infernal being incarnated in human form. I do not pretend to be or claim to be some sort of special vessel of a deity or avatar of the power and presence of One and Three.

  8. I do not claim to be a master of everything or a knower of all things, claim to be the only source of all and absolute truth.

  9. I do not elevate myself in place of or over that of the Drikeyu or the One and Three.

  10. I do not deny the potential for an afterlife or reincarnation. However, I also do not claim firsthand knowledge by experience of such conditions either and would give no trust in someone that did or does make such claims.

  11. I do not expect or demand anyone lay down their lives for me or anything or anyone else yet also am not opposed to forfeiting your own life if that is what it takes to defend the lives and freedoms of others one would want personally done and given to oneself.

  12. I reject all the main concepts of what is often called “sin” as some sort of perpetual guilt as it contradicts the very concept of redemption through the simple act and choice to “repent” as in turn away from such things and not to continue doing things you know to be wrong in the first place, since the basic sense of a sin is more along the lines of a mistake and has often been falsely aligned to concepts associated as irredeemably evil, though I also do not deny the concepts of good/benevolence and evil/malevolence.

  13. You also cannot believe what you do not know or do not understand regardless of who will claim otherwise. All do have free will though it limited as well by circumstance and the same freedoms of personal wills of other people and beings, which itself is part of the reciprocal dynamics of all existence known and unknown.

  14. I shall make it clear as well that one should not waste their time seeking various ‘wonders’ and ‘signs’ as if such things could demonstrate any truth outside of the principles of the Drikeyu that is always impersonal and takes no sides but its own.

  15. I reject all such concepts of ‘your truth’ and ‘personal truth because these are not “truths” but rather subjective personal experiences and opinions seldom based in actual facts.

  16. I do not claim to be the embodiment of all truth, to be the only source of guiding one’s ways by which they conduct themselves, or the source of the lives of others or even my own life. I never trust such things that have been so poorly taken completely out of their original context that has likewise misled far too many for centuries after centuries.

  17. I personally recognize that the actual meaning of being “the truth, way and life” means you must seek to “follow and express and tell the impersonal truth and not claim things you do not know and admit you do not know things just as much as you must admit things you do know, that being ‘the ways’ means being an example and expression of the basic teachings and tenants of the culture and tradition, and ‘the life” means living in the impersonal truth, adhering to the established ways, and expressing such by how you conduct yourself and live your life to the best of your abilities.

  18. I do not claim all your sins should be punished when they are in reality simply mistakes, and do not equate such mistakes with all you evil deeds, or that all your evil deeds are somehow forgiven just because you have confessed to such, are that by following me, someone or something else you will be saved from some sort of punishment and escape responsibility for your words and actions and then automatically fly up to the sky, which is the actual meaning of heaven, when you die in a state of unrealistic purity and perfection.

  19. I reject any sense that ritual and ceremony promotes spirituality and ineffective ritual or ceremony somehow kills it, when in reality ritual and ceremony are themselves actually symbolic expressions of the essential concepts and beliefs of one’s spirituality, and so forth, not the other way around, and are not even necessary to be expressed if one does not hold a true sense of such as being a necessity.

  20. Finally, I do not see remotely a conflict whatsoever between the concepts of creation and evolution beyond some sort of silly and often foolish imposed interpretations or proclamations of doctrine sources. To deny various sciences are just as subject to confirmation biases and must have a certain amount of “trust” in things that do not have any actual proofs beyond base concepts would also itself be a deceitful proclamation.

 

TWENTY SIX GUIDELINES FOR ELDERS

We recognize our elders as bearing the titles of Warlocks and Witches as those who hold a seat within the Drusidu as the governing and custodial authority of the traditions and culture of Druwayu and all who identity as Druans regardless of where they are from or where they dwell. The following is the guidance and therefore guidelines of how a Warlock or Witch, and therefore elder of Druwayu in whole or in part should likewise consider, contemplate, embrace and express with due diligence and reverence for it is essential to the quality of character of anyone who should bear either title of such elders herein.

  1. No one is superior or inferior to anyone else regardless their diverse skills or abilities.

  2. Always seek to remind one another they are needed so that none are left to feel needy.

  3. Seek to treat others as you want to be treated but do not allow any to abuse that.

  4. No one is a burden, and everyone depends on everyone else one way or another.

  5. Needless fear and deceit are the weapons of those who pretend to be superior.

  6. We all need one another to survive and thrive and do not need to control each other.

  7. Our distinctiveness of individual minds is not weaknesses but rather our strength.

  8. Our individuality of minds and personalities are not illusions.

  9. There is no such thing as personal truth, just personal experience and opinion.

  10. Truth is impersonal and is always the same regardless of who recognizes or speaks of it.

  11. Those how make those who speak the truth enemies are themselves enemies of all.

  12. Every life of every individual is not expendable and for that reason every life matters.

  13. The needless suffering or evil in the world is self-caused and can be turned away from.

  14. We must honor and respect individuality and utilize all skills mutually and responsibly.

  15. We are all responsible for something and responsibility is also reciprocal.

  16. We do not need to seek to control one another to be responsible for one another.

  17. We are all the same species with the same needs and the same forgivable flaws.

  18. We must not deceive ourselves or others with demands for the illusions of perfectionism.

  19. We do not need to seek oneness with anything because we are already one in essence.

  20. We are all the diverse children of the same ultimate source of all things.

  21. We are not the same as the ultimate source of all things or merely debris of that.

  22. We are to be custodians of life, not the controllers and destroyers of it.

  23. We must live in harmony with one another and the laws and dynamics of nature.

  24. We must respect the choices and freedoms of all in order to protect and defend our own.

  25. There can be no peace or true progress among those who proclaim themselves above all.

  26. We must not allow another to be silenced with whom we disagree or do not like, less we ourselves become silenced in due course.

 

By these Twenty-Six guidelines a Warlock and Witch learn and then fulfill their different responsibilities as custodians of Druwayu, adherence to the creed, path of self-honing, and the eleven core principles which all are connected and complimentary when one contemplates it all.​

TWENTY EIGHT OPINIONS AND STATEMENTS

The following is more of a general list of 28 things for one to be mindful of in regard to Druwayu as a whole and to be held as the common shared views of Druans as specific answers to specific questions without having to be asked about such things and how it does or does not relate to Druwayu as a whole. Again, these are general perspectives of this culture and tradition.

  1. Weddings: Marriage is respected and is not entrapment. We do not impose any specific permissions or denials of personal relationships among adults 18 years old or older. It is their choice and no others. The customs and the laws of the land are respected. We also respect the vows of marriage as the same as any oath that must be kept and honored and should not, in order to maintain our own honor, trespass knowingly on such oaths. If it is a monogamous or a polygamous structure, it must be by the free will of all parties involved and arguments for or against one or the other are nonsensical as what is often used to condone one and deny the other have been mutually applied and demonstrably opinions based in personal biases, ignorance and delusional self-justifications all around. 

  2. Funerals: What one has determined before they have departed from this incarnation as to how they wish to be buried is respected and not argued over. As is requested, so shall it be fulfilled as the last act of autonomous self determination without excuse. If it has not been written in a 'final stated will and testament," then let it be left to the one closest to them in this life to see it is followed through, and if such has no knowledge of said will, then it shall be left to their families to decide.

  3. Sacrifices: We do not practice human sacrifice; animal offerings, sometimes using store-bought or hunted meat, are strictly for food that may also be adapted to ceremonial purposes, performed quickly to prevent suffering, and reflect ancient traditions of returning life through blood—hence terms like “bless” originally meant to consecrate, marked or hallowed with blood—as a communal gesture of respect and sustenance. Its not, however, required or demanded.

  4. Doctrine and Dogma: All doctrine means is what is written down. Nothing is viewed as absolutely infallible or ineffable regardless how old or new the source. Therefore, any claims about anything, verified or not is little more than dogma which in itself simply means an opinion. All demands proof or logical, reasonable and rational justification that has a premise that ends with a consistent and direct conclusion.

  5. Heresy: All heresy means is ‘choice’ regardless the claims of far too many who throw such words around with no true sense of the meaning. Everyone has the freedom of choice regardless who agrees with it or not. Therefore no one is punished or condemned for choosing anything.

  6. Proselytizing: Proselyte simply means ‘selected from.’ The words composed of pro (from) se (separate) lithos (lyte/ite = stone). In proper context it meant to ‘take from a different source” and “change” in the sense of conversion, which is why it is applied in the sense of a convert.  We simply do not demand anyone to convert.

  7. Apostasy: All apostasy means is to stand away, simply meaning ‘to leave.’ No one is demanded to ‘stay’ with Druwayu and not punished, otherwise it becomes slavery which we do not tolerate. While it is often claimed if means defect which means to ‘do the opposite,’ it is false. One is free to come or go as they will.

  8. Blasphemy: All blasphemy means is ‘speaking badly.’ Everyone ‘speaks badly’ about something and its nonsense to contemn someone for doing so. Some do need to be called out on their bullshit. We do not punish anyone for that. All have a right to their opinions and we don’t have to accept all of them either.

  9. Prophecy: Prophecy is a false claim of seeing a predetermined future, while foresight is the rational, evidence-based process of predicting future scenarios to inform present decisions as a true Divine gift from the One and Three. Prophecy is nonsense because it relies on unsubstantiated supernatural claims and is unfalsifiable, wherein one claims outsourcing of moral and ethical thoughts of people who claim to speak subjectively "for" the One and Three, whereas foresight is a practical and verifiable skill the One and Three have woven into the very fabric of cognitive capacity and objective reality.

  10. Sexuality: Self-control of one’s urges is not a bad thing, especially when it comes to preventing the contraction or spreading of painful or incurable diseases. It is also what raises us above other species that are driven by impulses and not by thoughts. Additionally, we must never impose our desires upon against the will of others. Any act of rape or molestation is not tolerated. Any sort of ‘sexual interest’ or abuse or mutilation of a child is absolutely not tolerated under any circumstance or so-called justification.

  11. Gender: There are only two sexes/genders; male or female, and only two gender roles in the process of reproduction; male or female for gender is merely a different word for sex when sex is not being used as a word for 'sexual interactions.' In humans, Males, from the onset of puberty, produce sperm and sire offspring through the female but do not and cannot conceive or become pregnant. Females are born with all the eggs they will ever have that can be fertilized where the eggs naturally mature with the onset of puberty and, but they do not and cannot sire offspring. Males and females are factually physically different regardless of what rare or less common biological defects occur. 

  12. Identity: What one thinks they are does not equal what they are. What one claims to be does not make them to be the thing they claim to be simply because they claim to be so. If a man claims to be the wind, it does not make him wind. If a woman claims to be the rain, it does not make her rain. If one is named the wind or the rain, then they are Wind and Rain only by name, not by nature, form or being. If one has earned a title reflective of their duty or employment, then it is simply a title. They are not the same as the title itself. Do not be deceived. 

  13. Nature: You cannot claim to respect nature if you ignore things of nature that are inconvenient realities you have difficulties accepting as reality. If you claim to respect the nature of things but then reject the reality of what is natural, than you are unworthy of trust and are deceiving yourself and make excuses for other deceivers. We respect nature but we do not worship it. If one speaks to a stone and commands it to “get up, dance, eat, drink, talk,” or any other such thing it will do nothing. It has no mind, nor will, nor urge. You can smash it to sand. You can carve it and shape it, yet it will feel nothing. Applying what is not human to the human is delusional. Applying what is human to what is not human is idiocy. 

  14. Preferences: We do not need, nor should, tolerate all preferences of what one may take a greater liking to, or a desire for, or interest in, such as but not limited to what is unhealthy and inappropriate, such as an adult having an inappropriate or unhealthy liking for a child or an animal, especially in a sexual manner, or one who takes pleasure in causing pain, tormenting and unnecessary suffering of another living thing. Nor should we tolerate one needlessly abusing themselves or others. If one has a preference to avoid relationships and instead engage in acts of sexual violation of another, it should not be tolerated regardless what the gender of the trespasser is. However, if it is such a preference is harmless to themselves or others then so be it, as the same applies to you.

  15. Autonomy: All people have the natural inherent right to self-determination and uncensored, unfiltered, truthfully informed, and not coerced decisions, as well as the consequences thereof. In this, we must not allow anyone imposed themselves upon any one of us, nor impose ourselves upon others. In this we must let children be children and let adults be adults. This also means we must not allow adults to impose adult matters, interests or concerns upon children, nor the have childish things imposed upon any adults, nor deny differences between child and adult.

  16. Changes: All changes are not good. All changes are not bad. Change is a normal feature of the impermanence of everything. However, change by intent simply for the sake of change is seldom change for the better, and certainly provides no true progress or benefit to the majority, and more often than not is a detriment to all. Nature itself is always in a state of constant change regardless of your feelings or opinions about it. We can either adapt to it or parish, one and all. Adaptation is change with purpose, and the purpose is survival. Trying to force nature to conform to our whims is futile and blind arrogance.

  17. Holidays: Holidays are simply called holidays. Some may have specific names; however, they are not in the same alignment as most sources present such things and are not simply appropriations of something else. One is free to observe or celebrate any holiday with others even if it is not part of our own culture, and all within our own culture are free to create holidays so long as one understands the very meaning of the word holy is to make whole, as well as heal. This means such times are meant for strengthening and renewing our mutual bonds as well as times to restore or heal our relationships with one another or take time to rest and heal in a more physical sense. That is what makes such sacred when it is made clear that this is the whole point and meaning of holiday. 

  18. Gatherings: Gatherings are also simply called gatherings just as meetings are simply called meetings, unless they are specifically something like birthdays. They do not have specific connotations or associations with any one specific observance or celebration, nor always have some sort of spiritual or religious connotation. We gather where we want, why we want, when we want, if we want; though even in that we do not seek to gather were there are others already and respect the space of others as we want our own respected. It is again that simple. 

  19. Initiations: We do not have “initiations” to become a Druan. If anyone claims to be a Druan or a Druan Warlock or Witch and claims we do, ignore them and give them no further attention unless they make themselves a physical threat to you and your well being. They are deceivers and neither Druans nor any member of our clergy. We do provide this information for the education of Druans and it is also a requirement for all Warlocks and Witches of Druwayu as elders to fully understand the importance of their roles, their responsibilities and purpose as such elders of Druwayu.

  20. Special Garb: Generally speaking, Druan Warlocks and Witches do not dress up different than anyone else or have to have some sort of costume or eternal trapping of religiosity. However, some Druan Warlocks and Witches may dress up in stereotypical garb out of humor and mockery of frauds, or to parody false claims about such things. This does not mean in the future specific outfits for Druan Warlocks and Witches are restricted either. We also do not do that whole “parade around naked” bit.

  21. Cemeteries and Memorials: We respect cemeteries and memorials to the departed like anyone else and will not engage in any acts of desecration. In this sense we do consider these types of places sacred even if such locations are the burial sites of others with their own traditions, cultures and spirituality or not. We do not worship the dead, but we do honor them. This also extends to memorial objects having a historical context even if we do not like the history because history belongs to everyone, not a select few.

  22. Special Alters: We don’t not need or require special altars or figurines to represent such things as the One and the Three. In fact, we don’t represent them in anthropomorphic form at all. If someone chooses to make a shrine of their own choice, four candles with one in the center and three around them tends to suffice.

  23. Ritual Weapons: We do not need to use some sort of ceremonial ritual weapon either or claim such weapons as a religious right. Any weapons we have are for purposes of self defense and protection of friends, family and neighbors as a natural right, especially against hostiles who seek to subjugate us and trespass against our individual and mutual autonomy and rights of self determination. Only in that sense can a weapon is considered holy.

  24. Children: Our core value is children should be protected at all costs, even from other children if needs be, and their natural development never infringed or trespassed upon, especially when it comes to their physical health and mental well being. Imposing adult concepts and ideas upon children is for us considered a clear sign of true evil as it is our general view true evil cannot keep its claws off of children. This also means we will not tolerate the mutilation of children or any other abuses of children under the claims of “affirmative care” because the only thing “affirmative” about it is it is to ruin them before they ever have a chance to determine their own lives as adults on their own.

    • I. Shared Ground

      • Protecting children is, and must remain, a universal priority. It’s a moral foundation that transcends ideology or politics. My intent is not to undermine that shared concern but to clarify how certain conceptual and logical errors, when unrecognized, risk leading well-meaning advocates away from evidence-based child protection.

    • II. Terminology and Conceptual Framework

      • The discussion often begins with the term “cisgender.” This word is not a neutral scientific descriptor. It was built from within an ideological framework that treats biological reality as one identity option among many. In doing so, it redefines how we talk about sex and human development.

      • In biology and medicine, human sex is binary—male or female—defined by chromosomes, gametes, and reproductive anatomy. These traits are empirically measurable and form the foundation of reproductive biology. They are not “assigned at birth,” nor are they fluid or subjective.

      • Labeling the majority of people whose psychology aligns with their biological sex as “cis” is more than classification—it presupposes the validity of the very hypothesis it claims to describe. It subtly pathologizes normal development by implying that “alignment” is a special condition rather than the natural baseline. This is circular reasoning applied rhetorically, not scientific observation.

    • III. The Question of “Transgender Children”

      • Those who reference “transgender kids” often portray this as a settled and innate category. Yet childhood is a stage defined by emotional flux, experimental identity, and neurological development that continues into the mid-twenties. Children are not miniature adults; they cannot grasp, much less consent to, lifelong medical or psychological interventions tied to identity.

      • Peer-reviewed research repeatedly shows that most childhood cases of gender dysphoria resolve naturally by puberty when not socially reinforced. These findings urge caution, not acceleration. A parent’s role is not to defer to a child’s fleeting distress but to provide guardrails that prevent permanent consequences from temporary confusion.

      • Framing cautious parenting as “unsafe” reverses ethical responsibility. Adults—and especially parents—exist to safeguard minors from impulsive or ideologically motivated decisions, not to surrender judgment to social pressure or activist claims.

    • IV. Logical and Emotional Fallacies in the Opposing View

      • Much of the contemporary rhetoric relies on emotionally charged appeals that break down under scrutiny. To ask, “How would you feel if someone said your gender was a delusion?” assumes a false equivalence between rejecting a belief and rejecting a person’s biology. Biological sex is not a belief—it is a measurable, falsifiable, and observable fact.

      • The burden of proof belongs to those asserting that subjective feelings override objective sex, particularly when that claim justifies medical interventions on minors. Current longitudinal studies reveal high desistance rates, comorbidity with autism and trauma, and growing evidence of post-transition regret—all pointing to the need for humility and restraint.

      • Invoking historical sacrifices—such as those who died in wars or civil rights movements—as though they fought for “cisgender privilege” is another fallacy. Such arguments are emotional non sequiturs that distort history to grant moral authority to an unrelated modern theory.

    • V. Risks of Alienation and Ideological Overreach

      • Perhaps the most dangerous argument is the claim that children “need space from parents like you.” This suggestion promotes alienation between minors and their primary protectors. While families can make mistakes, they remain the most equipped environment to provide long-term care and stable decision-making. Displacing that with activist or online community influence undermines foundational trust and safety.

      • True safeguarding of children requires time, professional therapy for underlying issues, and a commitment to developmental understanding—not ideological separation or rushed “affirmation.” The family must remain the central unit of protection and guidance, especially where irreversible medical interventions are being discussed.

    • VI. Conclusion

      • Intentions, however good, cannot excuse flawed reasoning or careless terminology. The language of gender ideology often masks circular logic, emotional manipulation, and an erasure of biological fact. Protecting children demands clarity, evidence, and patience—not slogans.

      • To safeguard youth effectively, society must ground its compassion in reality. That means rejecting rhetorical tricks that redefine truth itself and reaffirming that true advocacy for children begins with honesty about human biology, development, and the irreplaceable role of parents.

  25. Abortion: Our core value is that all life is important and to be valued as sacred and respected. It is generally our view that life begins at conception. However, we recognize that sometimes Abortion is necessary but it should not be used as a substitute to contraception.

    • The only other justification is if carrying on with such a pregnancy will result in the death of both the mother and the unborn. Using excuses claiming that the unborn are merely an impersonal clump of cells is for us idiotic.

    • We are all "clusters of cells." Life matters. Abortion should not be terminated after the 4th week of pregnancy when central nervous system of a human embryo has started to take definitive form.

    • 4 weeks is plenty of time to report and have efforts to make sure such things do not take, especially in the case of rape.

    • We expect all take responsibility to either use contraceptives or be rendered infertile/sterile to prevent such “unwanted” conceptions or maintain abstinence, though we also consider the numerosity and well being of offspring essential to the survival of our species and in that sense a blessing to be celebrated.

  26. Responsible Cloning: Because our core value is that all life is important and valued as sacred and respected as such it is our view that it should be a medical right and need for people to have their own genetic material used for cloning and replacing such as lost or damaged limbs, organs or transplanting nerves that no longer function properly and not up for a political or theological “debate.” For a Druan it is a matter of the right to personal life. When it comes to cloning to restoring species, if possible, that are known to have gone into extinction because of the ignorance of human development, as custodians of life we should do so. We should not try and "restore" species that went extinct long before humans existed.

  27. Birthdays: When it comes to birthdays, we embrace them as the celebration of an individual’s life and one that should not be neglected, for doing so is a form of dishonor and disrespect for the person in question. The only time in which we will not observe and honor someone’s birthday is if they have requested that it is not celebrated or observed regardless of what their personal reasoning’s may be. Otherwise, it is to be an occasion of joy celebrated with family, friends and neighbors as it is itself a means of reinforcing bonds of the individual with the people around them and the people with them. However, children must also be raised not to become spoiled or selfish and taught to recognize the reason their birthdays are celebrated and how being demanding and disrespectful of those who have come to honor their lives is a shame and insult that cannot be accepted or tolerated.
