FAQ: Should Christians shun transgenders?

REPLY: Absolutely not!

Transgendering isn't specifically addressed in the Bible, viz: it's a gray area, and as
such ought to be approached in accord with the 14th chapter of Romans which
says, in so many words, that we are not permitted to engage transgenders with
debating nor abuse them with judgmental criticism.

Transgendering is a rough road to travel due to embarrassing therapy regimens;
and side effects, complications, negative public opinion, doubts, regrets,
disappointment, and mood swings that many would rather not talk about. So be
especially careful with your dialogue so as not to push them to the point where
you'll be forcing them to maintain their poise with fibs.

A little empathy, and a whole lot of tact and courtesy, can be very useful in helping
someone get thru the day, ergo: don't become a hell for transgenders, instead,
become a haven because people really ought to feel safe with Christians instead of
wary.

Matt 7:12 . . So in everything: do to others what you would have them do to you.

I have yet to figure out why it is that so many Christians are in the habit of
conflating gender dysphoria with gays and lesbians; but I suspect the mistake is
due to a failure on their part to research the condition-- easily done by simply
taking the time to look for it on YouTube.

From what I've learned thus far: gender dysphoric folk are not what I'd call a bad
influence. For the most part they are simply harmless guys and girls who truly
believed they'd be happier as the opposite sex; and actually quite a few do find
satisfaction in that direction; though of course many oftentimes discover that the
dream was better than the reality as there are some rather inconvenient
complications associated with their surgeries.

Beware of profiling!

For example it is the personal belief of some that if you're a white man, then you
are automatically a toxic male. Is that true? No, of course not, because not every
white guy is a bad person; in point of fact: quite a few white guys are very decent
folks. You see; profiling fails to take into account an individual's personal
characteristics.

In the same vein, not every transgender person is militant, nor are they all political
activists, nor are they all together unified to poison the minds of young children. In
point of fact, many of the transgenders I've reviewed on YouTube are anxious to
warn children about the hazards associated with altering their sex.

Therefore I highly recommend dealing with transgenders on an individual basis, i.e.
one at a time, viz: should you meet with a transgender, resist jumping to
conclusions-- first get to know that person before deciding how best to classify their
thinking because if there is one thing on this earth that everybody despises it's a
prejudiced bigot, and too many Christians I encounter online are exactly that.

If you ask me: the real sinners in the world of transgender are the parents, and the
supposedly competent adults in education and the medical professions, who get
kids as young as 12 and 13 started on cross-sex chemicals which in time have the
potential to result in sterility, early-onset menopause, and irreversible changes to a
kid's physical characteristics.

The tragedy of it all is that quite a few youngsters are experimenting with
transgendering while too young to fully comprehend the gravity of what they are
doing to themselves. For example when pre-pubescent girls are told they may
never be able to have children of her own should they choose to go the distance
with transgendering, many don't care because they haven't matured enough yet to
perceive what it's like to be a mommy. Pre-pubescent girls often view children as a
messy nuisance.

And then there's also the permanent loss of libido; which is a loss common to both
boys and girls. Pre-pubescent kids have yet to experience full-on libido and thus are
unable to appreciate its value in adulthood.

For example; my first experience with chemo-therapy for esophageal cancer
quenched my normal libido considerably; and I began regarding women as
unsanitary beasts rather than the alluring creatures they're meant to be. Well; I
was very relieved when my libido got back up to speed after completing chemo, but
kids who pursue transgendering to the max quite possibly will never even get to
have a taste of that particular fact of life.

So-called "informed consent" isn't possible with pre-pubescent kids because they
just simply aren't old enough yet to appreciate the risks. For example: we were
babysitting a good friend's little girl one evening while watching Michael Jackson
perform on the television. Teen-age girls in the audience were screaming and
weeping; so our friend's little girl wanted to know why they were crying like that.
My wife explained: "When you get older; you'll understand"

Well I can just about guarantee that with enough cross-sex hormones and puberty
blocker in their systems, little women will never be old enough to understand and
thus they'll miss the star-struck excitement that makes a growing girl's teen-age
years so special.

The answer is no.

The problem is many transgenders have been lied to in order to fulfill an agenda...and agenda that isn't Christian.

When this idea is brought into the church and preached from the pulpits it should be identified and disposed of for the cancer that it is.

Transgender people are telling a lie, by claiming to be something they are not. Their whole life has become a lie and they need to repent.

Fellowshipping with habitual liars, who claim to be Christian, is not something that we should be doing.

* Probably no entertainer understood a child's need for acceptance better than
Mr. Rogers.

Herein is one of his tunes-- addressed to every kid watching his show regardless of
age, race, and/or gender. It's sort of self explanatory; so I offer no comments to
go with it.

I like you as you are.
Exactly and precisely,
I think you turned out nicely;
And I like you as you are.

I like you as you are.
Without a doubt or question,
Or even a suggestion;
Cause I like you as you are.

I like your disposition,
Your facial composition,
And with your kind permission,
I’ll shout it to a star.

I like you as you are.
I wouldn’t want to change you,
Or even rearrange you;
Not by far.

I like you.
I L-I-K-E Y-O-U
I like you, yes I do.
I like you, Y-O-U,
I like you: like you as you are.

FAQ: Why do the transgender movers and shakers insist upon starting children as
young as 12-13 on the road to changing their sex?


REPLY: The thing is: in order for transgenders to successfully pass as women,
and/or successfully pass as men; they pretty much have to begin making changes
to their body in sync with nature's puberty clock; which presents a relatively brief
window of opportunity.

Should they begin transitioning after the window has expired-- say at 17 or 18 --
their body will very likely be stuck in whatever physical configuration nature gave
it. In other words: transitioning girls will be stuck with hips and a soft appearance
etc, and transitioning boys will be stuck with whiskers and a rugged appearance
etc.

So timing is crucial in the transgender process; which can actually work to a
parent's advantage. If moms and dads can manage to keep their underage children
off of cross-sex medications during those critical puberty years, it will become much
easier in the long run to persuade them to stay as they are because adult boys and
girls are typically lots more sensible, and a lot less impressionable, than those in
the 12-13 range.

Eve was first to taste the forbidden fruit, and when she did; nothing happened. She
went right on unashamed in the buff the same as before, viz: it wasn't till Adam
tasted the fruit that Eve became sensitive about her body's appearance naked.

Now the thing is: Eve was constructed with material taken from Adam's body, but
she was already fully formed and fully sentient prior to his tasting the fruit so it was
too late for Adam's eating to effect Eve by means of heredity.

So: if Eve's feelings about her naked body weren't altered by means of the fruit,
and if her feelings weren't altered by means of heredity; then by what?

Mr. Serpent is the logical source (a.k.a. the Devil & Satan, Rev 20:2) He has the
power of death (Heb 2:14) and the ability to tamper with the human body and the
human mind in ways not easily detected; e.g. Luke 13:16, Mark 5:1-5, and Eph 2:2.

The Serpent was apparently all set and ready to wield his power the moment that
Adam crossed the line and ate that fruit. It amazes me how quickly it takes effect.
Not long after Adam tasted the fruit, he and his wife both immediately set to work
cobbling together some rudimentary aprons to cover their pelvic areas.

FAQ: So you think this Devil of yours has something to do with the current wave of
gender dysphoria?

REPLY: Yes.

FAQ: The entire gender dysphoria mechanism? --educators, students, psychiatric
counselors, medical professionals, parents, and various government agencies at
State and Federal levels, etc --are caught up in some sort of paranormal master
plan?

REPLY: Yes.

* Ironically the progressive element in our midst is called "woke" when in reality it
is actually under the influence of a very powerful kind of hypnosis about which we
thus far know very little; and you hot-shot pulpit pounders out there need to be
very careful how you behave yourselves in talks with these folks.

"The Lord's servants must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone. They must be
able to teach effectively, and be patient with difficult people. They should gently
teach those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people's hearts,
and they will believe the truth. Then they will come to their senses and escape from
the Devil's trap. For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants."
(2Tim 2:23-26)

A full transgender process typically includes psychiatric counseling, cross-sex
hormones, puberty blockers, and specialized surgery. Unfortunately the results of a
full process aren't always satisfactory, rather, quite disappointing as patients
sometimes find themselves saddled with inconvenient side effects and unpleasant
complications.

To top it off: thus far the process has been unable to replicate real men and
women. No; at best the process has managed to produce only artificial men and
women that don't function near as well as patients were led to expect.

But that's not all-- there's also the afterlife to consider, which has the potential to
make transgendering a futile expenditure of one's resolve.

John 3:1-2 . . Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a
member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said: "Rabbi,
we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the
miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him."

Pharisees in that day were very pious men-- typically educated, and highly
respected. To my knowledge, this man was neither gay nor afflicted with gender
dysphoria. So considering his qualities; Jesus' response is very curious.

John 3:3 . . In reply Jesus declared: "I tell you the truth, no one can see the
kingdom of God unless he is born again."

The Greek word translated "again" basically means from above. In other words,
Jesus wasn't speaking of a ritual or a sacred rite; no, he was speaking of an act of
God.

The thing to note is that this particular act of God isn't optional, rather, it's
required, i.e. there are no exceptions and no exemptions to this rule regardless of
one's moral perfections and/or imperfections, and regardless of age, race, religion,
social/financial/political status, and/or gender identity.

John 3:7 . . You must be born again.

We're all equals in that respect, therefore:

Rom 15:5-7 . . May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a
spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart
and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Accept one
another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.

Thus far my comments have been relative to folks who've undergone a full
transgender process; which typically includes psychiatric counseling, cross-sex
hormones, puberty blockers, and specialized surgery.

I am very tolerant of those people, whereas I am greatly discontented with guys
competing in women's sports whose bodies fail to display even the slightest hint of
femininity, i.e. they are not taking cross-sex hormones, nor have they undergone
any of the appropriate surgeries.

In my judicious estimation: guys insisting they are women while still in possession
of their full and complete natural manhood, are frauds and shameless cheats right
down there in the dirt with the lowest of wolves in sheep's clothing we might name.

I would recommend not only shunning a Christian man who competes in women's
sports solely on the basis of his "identifying" as a woman, but to avoid all
association with that guy-- both in church and out of church --lest his churlish
scruples rub off on us.

1Cor 15:33 . . Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character.

I would offer

Part of the new age alphabet LGBTQIA2S+

Transgendering is a indication Satan is working in antichrists' (false apostles, sent with false prophecy). Oral traditons of dying mankind.

I would call it Gnosticism. Special secret knowledge rising above. . . adding to sola scriptura .

Like the new promised Kingdom is here .No longer Jew nor gentile, male nor female, new creatures . Uniformity robots (AI)

The wile of the devil. What God calls one the murdering liar calls many. What God call many he calls one. light/darkness. Up /Down . The counterfeit king

As sons of God, Christian are not what will be . It cannot be revealed. . no man can see his glory and not die we will live when we receive the new incorruptible.

We walk by faith the invisible eternal things of God.

It would seem one fades while a new is need to reenergize . Its like what next P for Pedophile.? The borders open

The gospel must go out into the all the nations of the world not into buildings alone. Today our finger can go walking, hoping, preaching to the whole world

I have yet to figure out why it is that so many Christians are in the habit of
conflating gender dysphoria with gays and lesbians;
I imagine it is because no matter how either of them alter their appearance or behavior they are still a biological male or female.

That's because to wish they were biologically born something else is a fantasy that cannot be made a reality.

Childish fantasies .Be whatever your heart desires the sky the limit.

It would seem Satan taking advantage of the innocence, little ones feeding on the milk of the word, reflecting a gracious patient loving God labor of love .

Close down the borders the main cause of little ones being snatched today.

You Tube is not the final authroity in matters of faith the invisible eternal things of Christ

It would seem history repeating itself. Today's morals like the times of the first century

At the rise and fall of any nation moral issues gender dysphoria is the foundation.

The father of lies deceiving many through Gnosticism (secret knowledge)As if the ressurection on the last day has already occurred And Christians new creatures have received their new bodies which will be neither Jew nor gentile male of female the foundation of dysphoria gender identity - and a bodily state - biological sex homosexuals'

2 Timothy 2:18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

The work of the father of lies using his tools to deceive mankind. Two building blocks of false pride

1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

No light of the gospel
