Transgenderism

Sgt. Pepper

All you need is love.
Does this ‘bigot’ train of thought come from the Christopher Hitchens book? If so that‘s outdated. Science tried to cure the gays not religion.

You didn't answer my question. You simply tried to deflect and shift blame. Based on your response, I can only conclude that you are unconcerned about how your bigoted views have seriously damaged your Christian witness. Perhaps you should concentrate more on the plank in your eye and stop casting stones at others. The Bible says, "By their fruit you will recognize them," and you are most definitely recognized by yours, and that is not a compliment.

Read the books that others would burn.
A picture on a forum is not YOU.

Neither are the dangly bits between my legs.

You talk about "identity" as if it's some sacred thing that must be protected and preserved, but the truth is that we change our identities as often as we change our socks (or at least as often as we should change our socks).

On these boards, my identity is TLK Valentine.
When I step into the classroom, my identity is "Professor _________."
At a family gathering, my identity is "son," "brother," "cousin," "uncle,"depending on who I'm talking to.
And of course, with my girlfriend, I'm "the sexiest man alive" (or at least that's what she tells me ;) )

All of those are "identities," which prompt me to behave a certain way -- partially dependent on social context, and partially dependent on personal choice.


When you can or do have your phone implanted you’ll never have a second of privacy again and you’ll be under constant surveillance.

Which differs from the present scenario...how, exactly?

If I lived in Texas, I'd be under constant surveillance -- my neighbors and acquaintances continually checking to see if I'm aiding or abetting someone having an abortion -- the state government has promised them a $10,000 reward, and who's going to pass up that kind of money?

Other states are following suit, but thankfully I don't live in any of them. But who knows? Perhaps that will change long before I get my phone implanted.

The heathen swamp my witness, which is the truth, with bilious nonsense. What’s wrong talking openly about the causes of homosexuality?
 

We Never Know

In light of the scriptures I think it’s clear that “transgenderism” is a satanic attack upon God’s creation of male and female, human personhood, biological reality, and truth. A phenomenon especially dangerous to women and children. I’m interested in perspectives of other Christians.


“And because of the subjectivity of gender identity, Hasson said the transgender movement poses a dire threat to women in particular.

“Gender identity is a feeling,” she explained. “It’s completely subjective — can’t test for it, can’t prove it, it’s got to be declared. “



“There's decades of literature showing overwhelming probability in a gender dysphoric minor of underlying health problems of adverse childhood experiences, bad family dynamics and a way over-representation of autism spectrum dysphoria, and that these all predate the gender dysphoria,” Van Mol explained.

According to recent data, the number of minors in America receiving a diagnosis of gender dysphoria tripled from 2017 to 2021, with more than 42,000 receiving the diagnosis in 2021. On the social media platform TikTok, which is especially popular among younger people, the hashtag “trans” has logged 50.2 billion views, nearly doubling within the space of a year.”

“So instead of saying people should seek the truth, now people say you should ‘speak your truth,” he explained. “So if words have no relation to reality, then words like ‘male’ and ‘female’ don’t matter anymore.””

“Lahl echoed that sentiment, stating her conviction — and perhaps summing up the battle itself — that transgenderism isn’t simply a political or cultural attack but one that is satanic in its origins.

“I don't believe in transgenderism,” she said. “I think that’s a lie from the devil.””

Excepts from:


Galatians 3:28 ESV...
-There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus

Matthew 7 ESV...
-Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.
