"The entire leftist regime is an artificial construct reliant on the subversion of nature via a leviathan capable of wealth extraction. They treat the return of the natural order as an existential threat because it is."
But part of that same "subversion of nature" is air-conditioning, vermin control, antibiotics, combustion engines, fresh oranges in winter, etc.
Putting a uterus into a man's body is the leftist version of putting air-conditioning into private homes. When even genetics can be manipulated (thus the leftist hard-on for mRNA vaccines), then there are no limits.
It's a real existential question. Are we subverting nature? It's not like we aren't still bound by the laws of physics and chemistry. It's just our power in physics and chemistry, our intimate knowledge of those laws, allows us to manipulate biology to a hitherto unequalled degree.
The "natural order" is that our lives are brutish, painful, disease-ridden and short. Pretty much everyone rejects at least some part of the "natural order." That's why we wear clothes and use fire to cook our food. The question is whether there is a line that can/should be drawn.
The whole transgenderism push is insane for those of us who see biology as a fundamentally different science than physics or chemistry. Christians see biology as bound up with personhood, being in the image and likeness of God. But not all worldviews, not even all theological worldviews, actually accept personhood as a valid quiddity.
To those who reject the idea of personhood, those who instead see biology as a mere extension of physics and chemistry, biology as an application of those two areas of knowledge, than putting a uterus into a man's body is no more "subversion" than any other application of physics and chemistry we have hitherto made.
If we do not see biology as being ordered to a higher good, to wit, imaging the likeness of God, then anything can be done. Darwin implied that biology has no "higher purpose". Dawkins made Darwin's supposition explicit, insisting that there is no God and there is no higher purpose. Everything evolves randomly. Then Dawkins denies his own premise by writing a book called "The Selfish Gene", a book whose title explicitly insists that a random DNA string has its own will, and wills its own success.
But, if there is no higher purpose, then the only purpose is the purpose we bring to the table. If I am fertile, I can LARP as a eunuch by using contraception. If I am a man, I can LARP as a woman by putting on a dress and insisting everyone calls me "she/her". The body becomes a tool. A furnace can be used to forge steel or incinerate corpses. A tool can be used for any purpose. Once our bodies are seen as Cartesian tools, divorced from intellect and will, then why can't surgery be used to redefine our persons? We become the tool we use.
