Gender Confusion: Tracing the Spiritual and Societal Origins of Modern Gender Theory

By Kevin W. Hutchins

The eye of an intelligence analyst is focused on the enemy of the church, to expose his attacks in the realm of modern gender theory. Horrible discoveries have been made. Shared here is the awful truth of where we’re at now and how we got here—both spiritually and naturally. In Gender Confusion, the reader will understand the enemy of our souls, so they can defeat him on this battlefield. They’ll learn what is true for both nation states and fallen angels: a known enemy is a defeated enemy. The church must defend itself and, more importantly, it must go on offense. This book gives us gender ideology’s origin story, its genealogy, and the only strategy that can possibly defeat it.

Kevin W. Hutchins spent a career as a U.S. military intelligence analyst. His job was to discover the enemy’s works. He understands how any intelligence effort is aimed at knowing one’s enemy and using that knowledge to defeat him. The author’s experience makes him uniquely qualified to deliver what may be the definitive dossier on the work of the enemy of our souls, as manifest in modern gender theory. He writes for the sake of the church, yet anyone wanting to know how Western culture has gotten into this mess will benefit from their reading of Gender Confusion.

DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to my loving, supportive wife, Elly. She loves me without condition and encourages me every day. I certainly couldn’t have done a work like this without her presence in my life. She is the muse I’ve been looking for.

I also have to give thanks to my good friend Dave. Without him I would not have come to appreciate the work of Dr. Michael S. Heiser.

PART I

BEGINNINGS

PREFACE

Jesus typically had no kind words for the Pharisees and Sadducees. However, on one occasion, he did give them credit for doing one thing very well. They were great meteorologists.

You are good at reading the weather signs of the skies—red sky tonight means fair weather tomorrow; red sky in the morning means foul weather all day (Matthew 16:2–3, TLB). Jesus’s complimentary demeanor didn’t last long. He then went back to rebuking them, as was his way, saying, But you can’t read the obvious signs of the times!

As we look at the U.S.—and Western civilization, ¹ as a whole—we can see the world broken up into two kinds of people: those who can read the obvious signs of the times, and those who cannot; those who can find true north on their moral compass, and those who cannot.

Those of the former category read the obvious signs and wonder if we are going the way of Sodom. They stand up for children’s innocence and push back against Sodom’s moral relativism, sexual exposure, and exploitation. They try and resist all that kids nowadays are compelled to experience and take in, as children are bombarded with this corruption coming from peer pressure, sports, entertainment, social media, and the public school system, among other venues.

Meanwhile, as those of the former group notice what’s going on, those of the latter group claim that those opposing them are hyperventilating over nothing. They dismiss the other group’s concerns for the welfare of society (in general), and of children (in particular) and ridicule those who take a stand as engaging in nothing more than a moral panic. ² They dismiss and then continue promoting their agenda of deviance.

An Intelligent Approach

With these battle lines drawn, I took the final month of 2022 to consider what we’re doing in this battle, in the first place. We have an aggressor, and it’s easy to say that this is all Straight from the pit of hell! While that is obviously true, it may be too simple to say that and leave it at that. If we’re to be successful in spiritual warfare, we would benefit from an understanding of our enemy.

We would profit from the answer to a few questions: What’s the source of this corruption? Is it spiritual or physical? Is there more than one source? What is its agenda?

I’m a former military intelligence analyst. For a time, my career consisted of knowing the enemy—specifically, knowing where he has been, in order to reasonably conclude where he may be going next—and reporting my findings to those with what we had called the need to know. With this background, I’ll be taking this same approach, here. I’ll be looking at what modern sociologists are calling Gender theory—the greatest source of corruption the West has known, since the fall of the hedonist Roman Empire—and viewing this ideology through the lens of an intelligence analyst.

When approaching this subject, I had considered the work of the enemy in this area and sought to discover where we’re at, how we got here, and how to move forward. I sought to study the enemy of our souls and the enemy of our society, so that we might consider where he may be going next and where he wants us to go next.

My consideration yielded positive results. Though, to be sure, a great deal of the negative had to first be unearthed.

Searching for Answers

Going in, I knew I’d be opening up a can of worms. As I began to research this corrupting influence, I found that I had instead opened up a door to an entire warehouse full of ugly, bloody worms feasting on a society decaying from the inside out.

What I found was a genealogy of evil. I discovered the damaging madness that operates in both the spiritual and natural realms, each of them working hand in hand with the other. I unearthed the answers to the questions posed above and I found that those answers took up more space than just the typical blog post I had been used to writing toward. The answers took up more space than my Master’s thesis. I found I had begun to write a book.

This work had originally been released one chapter at a time on Substack.com. What was published here is nearly identical to what had been put on that platform, but for a few additions and minor edits. On that platform, interested readers could follow hyperlinks to further reading on other online destinations. Here, endnotes provide the source material.

Fight the Fight

As the reader will learn, what is included here is substantial. Yet, it’s not a comprehensive work. The reader should know that this won’t be an exhaustive study on the subject. With as much detail as I’ve included, much has yet been omitted.

What is not omitted is certain graphic details pertaining to the atrocities that have been, and are still being, committed in the name of gender. You may wish to keep in mind that, as we get further into the swamp of this unpleasantness, I’ve actually toned down the details.

Some of what’s to come will be appalling. I’m hoping that, with the reader becoming appalled, they will then find motivation to fight the good fight and enter the fray. This battle is one that needs more troops.

Our society and our society’s children are at risk. Lives are being lost. Death and suffering are no longer at the doorstep. The door has been opened and they have crossed the threshold.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

W hat shall we make of the cultural apocalypse that Western civilization is now undergoing? In particular, what is going on with the total redefinition of sexual norms, spurring on events such as these, taken verbatim from the headlines:

• Texas teacher bragging about ‘indoctrinating the youth’ interviews middle school kids on non-binary identity ¹

• Princeton University offers classes on ‘BDSM,’ ‘Fetishism and Decolonization’ ²

• U.S. Men’s Soccer Team Sparks ‘Outrage’ Over LGBTQ Rainbow Crest ³

• Mormon church announces support for same-sex marriage bill ⁴

• Thousands of convicted pedophiles in California are being released from prison in less than a year for horrific acts, including rape, sodomy and sexual abuse of kids under 14 ⁵

Total Chaos

The LGBTQIA+ agenda is everywhere. Our culture is inundated with this ideology. It is the moder-day philosophy that has gone from coming out of the closet, to demanding acceptance, to demanding celebration from every quarter of society. Even two years ago, who would have thought that a U.S. presidential administration would have in the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps a transvestite man named Richard who wants us to call him Rachel? ⁶

Who would have ever believed that a sitting U.S. president would appoint as the U.S. Department of Energy’s Deputy Assistant Secretary for Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition a ‘Kink Activist’ and Non-Binary Drag Queen named Sam Brinton ⁷ who wants to be recognized for publicly flaunting his cross-dressing fetish, and wants us to refer to him as they and them? ⁸ Who could have thought that a TikTok star and allegedly sexually transitioning former actor would have been granted an interview at the White House, in order to ask the sitting president a few questions surrounding trans issues in the United States? ⁹

What is going on, here? It’s as though what had been settled and functioning fairly well, just a few decades ago, has now become totally chaotic and dysfunctional, isn’t it? We should look into this.

Chaos Theory

Before we look too closely, though, we ought to first consider a principle. Before we consider modern gender theory, we should look at another theory. Once we understand it, we can then see how it applies to the subject at hand.

The reader may have heard of something called chaos theory. This is a model that exists in the fields of mechanics and mathematics and is defined as the study of apparently random or unpredictable behaviour [sic] in systems governed by deterministic laws. ¹⁰ But we’re not going in that direction. We’re going in another direction. This may seem like a rabbit hole, at first, but we will soon see how this has direct bearing on our larger discussion.

There is another theory of chaos to consider. This concept is found in the Bible, though it isn’t spelled out all in one place. We can look at what is depicted there, in this overarching biblical theme, and see if it might apply to the sexual chaos of our day and time.

This theory can be outlined in a few bullet points, as follows:

• God has a divine purpose for everything, and everything illustrates his purpose. (Genesis 50:20; Exodus 9:16; Psalm 57:2; Proverbs 16:4)

• Among his purposes is the redemption of all things. (Romans 3:23–25, 8:20–23; Habakkuk 2:14)

• This redemption was first made manifest in Genesis, in God’s entry into the universe (Genesis 1:1–2), which was:

■ Chaotic and dysfunctional, until God:

■ Began to impose order and function upon it and

■ Invited man ¹¹ to partner with him to

• Redeem the earth from any remaining vestiges of chaos and dysfunction (Genesis 1:26–28).

• Man accepted this invitation, but, before long, failed (Genesis 3:17–19)

■ As a result, the earth’s redemption had to be put on hold, for a time.

• During this time of hold, creation would again be subject to dysfunction, while God saw to man’s redemption from these same things.

Befriending Perversion

With this in mind, we have Romans 8:20, which says, in part: For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it. The place where the New International Version gets the word frustration—and where the King James Version get the word vanity—is from the Greek word mataiotēs (ματαιότης), meaning devoid of truth and appropriateness. It also means perverseness and depravity. ¹²

This tells us that creation—in a sense, to use anthropomorphic language—was frustrated because it was not serving the purpose for which it had been created. It was not fulfilling its destiny. Instead, creation was full of what the Apostle Paul had said it contained: falsehood and inappropriateness. It had befriended perversion and depravity. This was the condition of the earth after sin had entered it and before God had begun to redeem his creation. This was earth’s condition, in its in-between time.

Tormented Insanity

When God entered the universe, it was chaotic and dysfunctional. This is seen in the first chapter of Genesis, and its reference to the waters. We’re told: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters" (Genesis 1:1–2).

The Hebrew for formless is tôû ( 61038.png ), which does mean formlessness, but it also includes other meanings, such as confusion, place of chaos, and vanity. ¹³ The Hebrew word for empty is bôû ( 61040.png ). It is similar in meaning to tôû, and is seen in the book of Jeremiah, as we’ll see, later on in this chapter.

In consideration of this, in terms of what had been happening on the face of the earth, Genesis tells us that the world had first been a chaotic, confusing place, one that was marked by vanity. And then the Spirit of God came on the scene and rectified this setting. In God’s appearing, he began to put an end to that chaos and dysfunction. His appearing had started the process of redeeming the earth from its original chaos and dysfunction, and he invited man to be a part of that redemption process.

As with the doctrine of original sin, the earth was originally set in its own chaotic, rebellious state. Like man, in his original state, the earth—as a whole—needed to be redeemed, ordered, and brought into a functional state. Our world was, before the intervention of God, in a state comparable to what film critic Rob Ager described, when discussing a portion of Stanley Kubrick’s film 2001: A Space Odyssey. ¹⁴

Ager says that the apes, in the Dawn of Man chapter of the film, had—while living in a barren, chaotic landscape—been awakened to something alien to their existence. This was the iconic monolith that science fiction writer Author C. Clarke had termed The Sentinel. ¹⁵ The presence of the monolith did, indeed, do this; the hominids were awakened to something ordered and structured, something they had never known before. Ager adds that the film’s score—at this point in the film, Part II of György Ligeti’s composition ‘Requim,’— had helped to establish for him an emotional tone of fear, confusion, and disorientation, something that, he said, "has always sounded to me like tormented insanity." ¹⁶

Redemption From the Torment

As we continue through Gender Confusion, we’ll learn how God, and not a monolith, had intervened in the affairs of men. ¹⁷ Jehovah God—something and someone who was very alien to mankind’s existence—intervened on man’s behalf. He did so for the purpose of redeeming him from his daily chaotic and disordered existence, a hellish life lived in tormented insanity, one that needed to be brought to sanity, order, and function.

A great deal of the insanity that the world had first known, as we’ll learn, is found in the realm of sexuality. God’s plan has, from the very beginning, been a long-term strategy of redeeming us from the tormented insanity that is ours, apart from a life lived in his presence. This is the same torment, the same insanity, which is ours in a world apart from him, in a world that those reject him now inhabit—and will inhabit for all eternity, should they persist in their rejection. And, should mankind take part in God’s strategy of redemption, a large part of God’s plan for man would be that of setting him free from his sexual addictions.

Up to My Neck

Let us return to the book of Genesis, chapter one. The waters, as seen in verse two, is a frequently used metaphor for, or a reminder of, the chaos that ancient peoples had believed lay within the deep waters they had seen and known. This is where leviathan lived (Job 41:1); it was a mysterious, fearful, and chaotic place to be avoided. Examples of where this metaphor had created a feeling of dread include these, from the Psalms:

• He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters (18:16).

• The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord thunders over the mighty waters (29:3).

• Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck. (69:1).

• [T]he flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us, the raging waters would have swept us away. (124:4–5)

The waters were typically thought of as a place of dread. They were a chaotic realm of disorder, confusion, and dysfunction. This is why the heart of the psalmist was made glad, as he knew that the Lord’s voice ruled (Psalm 29:3) over the waters, to calm them, and make them peaceful and orderly, once again. Jesus reflects this calming of the stormy waters, as he spoke to the sea, telling the waters Quiet! Be still, with the result being that the wind died down and it was completely calm (Mark 4:39).

Jesus’s calming of the waters and the psalmist’s reflections on the peace that God brings in the midst of the storm, and the raging waters therein, each echoed what the Spirit of God hovering over the face of the waters (Genesis 1:2, KJV) was about to do. The chaotic waters—on the Sea of Galilee, in the psalmist’s heart, and in the time before time—needed calming. So God calmed them, creating order from disorder, instilling function where there had been dysfunction and chaos.

This is also why Psalm 23 speaks of the opposite; it speaks of the still waters. There, God had erased the dread of the waters’ chaos from David’s heart. He restored his heart back to working order, where there previously had been disorder, frustration, confusion, and dysfunction. He leads me, David said, beside quiet waters (v. 2). The disordering confusion and frustration of what had come up to his neck (Psalm 69:1, above) was, in the 23rd Psalm, settled down by the God who drew him out of those chaotic waters and placed him beside comforting, calming waters—meaning, he permitted God to settle him down, so that he would no longer feel so overwhelmed.

Creating Function

Turning back to Genesis, chapter one, what do we see God doing while the earth was in its initial chaotic, disordered state? He was creating the heavens and the earth by speaking them into existence.

Though, this is how the Hebrew is typically rendered into English translations. Yet, a closer look at the Hebrew may give us another, more accurate, view of what was going on, from the perspective of the ancient author and ancient near-eastern peoples, in general. Create, in English, is derived from the Hebrew word Bara ( 61042.png ) . This word does translate to create, in Genesis 1:1. But there, as in other places where this word is used, it does not denote what those of us in Western civilization tend to think of, when we look at creation—i.e., it wasn’t about the material creation of something from nothing.

Ancient Hebrews had viewed this word in another sense. That was: to create a function for something, where none had, until then, existed. This was their mindset since, to them, nothing existed until it had a function, as part of an ordered system. This is what God was creating with the word of his mouth, as his spirit had hovered over the face of the waters; he created function, order, and an alignment with his will and purposes. Professor of the Old Testament Dr. John H. Walton describes the ancient view of creation this way:

People of the ancient world believed that something existed not by virtue of its material properties, but by virtue of it having a function in an ordered system. … In this sort of functional ontology, the sun doesn’t exist by virtue of its material properties, or even by its function as a burning ball of gas. … … rather, it exists by virtue of the role that it has in its sphere of existence, particularly in the way that it functions for humankind and human society … . Consequently, something could be manufactured physically, but still not exist if it has not become functional. ¹⁸

This is why, in Psalm 51, we see David asking God to create in him—literally, to bara in him—a clean heart (v. 10). David was not asking for a brand-new, created-from-nothing heart that would replace his old one. Instead, he was asking about his existing heart, which was not functioning in accordance with God’s plan, that it would become clean. In a fuller sense, he had asked for his heart to be brought into alignment with God’s purposes for him, so that he might properly function within God’s ordered and functional creation.

David asked for redemption, as he repented of his sin against Bathsheba and her husband, Uriah. The king asked that his heart would again become functional within God’s plan for him and through him. This was the sort of newness he was seeking.

The Operating Principle

This is also how ancient near-eastern peoples—Akkadians, Sumerians, and even Hebrews—had all looked at the act of creation. They considered it to be the act of giving purpose to something that had already existed; they didn’t look at it as the physical creation of something from nothing.

Creation, to these ancient peoples, was the act of assigning a function to something and ensuring that it would perform within the parameters of that assigned function. The idea of creation was used to denote or communicate a form of redemption, where something that had already existed did so in some prior chaotic, dysfunctional form, for some indefinite period of time, until it was given a purpose and a function within God’s universe.

How long before God’s intervention had the universe existed? That cannot be answered with any degree of certainty; what we do know is that this wasn’t the concern of the ancient Hebrews who had written down the Genesis creation story. The only hint that we have is an ambiguous statement from the Apostle Peter. He says that the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water … (2 Peter 3:5, KJV). Of old—i.e., long ago—was preceded by the forming of the earth: i.e., the giving to the earth its function. Peter tells us that the universe had existed long before God had intervened, to create order out of disorder.

With the idea of redemption in mind, we have in Genesis 1:1 God taking the formless, void, and dysfunctional earth and we have him giving it a purpose—specifically, that it might be a temple for his presence. This would be the purpose for all of creation. This is why, when the ultimate plan of God is manifest, it is seen in a new heavens and a new earth, where God will dwell with man, once man and earth are fully redeemed (Revelation 21: 1–4).

The first verse of the Bible has God—in his very first manifestation, in his act of creating order and function where there had been neither—demonstrating redemption as a principle. The Spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters (Genesis 1:2) so that his sprit would start the process of bringing order and function to those chaotic waters, so that redemption would be brought to the world. From word one, this was the theme of God’s word to a lost and depraved world.

The redemption of the physical world would serve as a metaphor for what he had planned to do, later, knowing that man would rebel and likewise need redemption, himself. Redemption would be the operating principle of God’s universe. In the fullness of time, man’s redemption would first be seen in the Nation of Israel, who would be a light to the world, and who would invite others to join with them. Ruth, the Moabitess, is an example of those who so joined Israel.

Israel, however, would fail to live up to its promises and would fall into lawlessness. God would ultimately offer redemption to all of mankind apart from the Nation of Israel. This redemption would be found in the man Jesus, the son of God, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good (Titus 2:14). Once God had a redeemed people for himself, redeemed from the world at large, those people would then invite the Nation of Israel to join them (Matthew 28:16–20) and reunite the two (Galatians 3:28).

Addition and Subtraction

Israel’s descent into lawlessness is seen in many places, and particularly in the book of Jeremiah, in its fourth chapter. In the scroll of this prophet are touchpoints
