In a world increasingly overwhelmed by leftist narratives, it seems no place is sacred anymore—not even the majestic expanses of America’s national parks. Recently, a group of trans activists decided to prove a point by draping a colossal trans flag over El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. This act was meant to be both a protest and an attention-grabber, as if there isn’t enough empty grandstanding already happening on a daily basis.
Onlookers wishing to escape the noise of daily life must now blindly accept this spectacle as just another addition to their scenic view. Instead of admiring nature’s tranquility, visitors are greeted by a bold statement thrust in their faces, loudly signaling that even the great outdoors aren’t free from the relentless push of identity politics.
The supposed logic behind this demonstration is as flimsy as ever. One activist, sporting a comically over-the-top park ranger ensemble, held that since some animals can transition sex, so it must be natural for humans. What’s next? Should people start living underwater just because clownfish do it? It belies common sense to suggest that behaviors observed in marine life should dictate what’s considered normal or acceptable for humans.
In truth, what these activists conveniently ignore is that changing sex is a natural biological process for some species, like clownfish, but it’s purely a survival mechanism. Humans are not clownfish—our biology simply doesn’t work that way. No amount of surgical intervention will ever enable a person to change their reproductive organs in a way that defies the biological norms of their human sex.
The broader conversation, often sidestepped in such stunts, is this: transgenderism in humans doesn’t equate to natural sex-changing phenomena in animals. Species showcasing these capabilities have them as natural adaptations, unlike the complex human narratives and desires constructed around identity debates. The notion that a human can change sex remains fictional no matter how loudly it is proclaimed from national monuments.
It’s high time we move past attention-seeking theatrics and focus on preserving the sanctity of spaces meant for peace, reflection, and communion with nature. El Capitan deserves its grandeur untainted, serving as a reminder of God’s creation rather than as a billboard for divisive agendas. Let’s hope society wakes up to this absurdity before other serene landscapes are similarly hijacked.
