    Vatican Blasts Trans Surgery, Surogacy, Etc

    The Pope was not attacking trans people but was attacking the gender theory and gender affirming surgery, which imo is the opposite to affirming the worth of a person as they are. So are all Catholics hypocrites because of what some have done? That means we all must be hypocrites because of...

    Yes that is exactly what it is saying. We don't really know why but do know that if left, most of those children will decide that they are not trans afterall.

    God is not a man

    No I did not say that. I did not mention 1000 years and I did not say that Jesus hands back the rulership to God. That not only does not make sense, it ignore the fact that Jesus became a man, lower than the angels and ignores Phil 2 which tells us that He was equal to God but did not grasp...

    In Genesis the plants were created before the sun moon and stars

    I think that whenever things are said to have been made (eg plants and fruit trees), that probably means that the evolution of those things began at that time. It is like when in Gen 1:1 it says that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, that does not mean that it was all...

    I have noticed that.

    In Genesis the plants were created before the sun moon and stars

    I suppose it was a hot surface at a certain point in the creation of the earth. That is plainly not the time that the Bible is speaking of, it is speaking of a time when there was water on the surface and I imagine it is that water which helped cool the surface and which ended up surrounding...

    In Genesis the plants were created before the sun moon and stars

    So what is the problem there? On day one the heavens and earth were created and there was water over the earth (according to Genesis and science) and clouds around the earth (keeping the light out (Job 38:9), so it was dark and at the end of day 1 and light started coming through but not so that...

    I would think that not going through puberty probably blocks some of the maturing that would have happened by going through it, but maybe not. However looking at the countries that are back pedaling on puberty blockers and heading towards psychological approaches, because of potential long...

    God is not a man

    John 1:3, Heb 1:1-2. You keep ignoring these scriptures which show what I said to be scripturally true. You just did it again, you claimed that the Trinity claims that Jesus is the Father. "I and the Father are one (one thing)" -----You ignore the meaning of that, which is that the TWO of...

    Just take your head out of the sand and type in "Recent increase in young people with gender dysporia" and you will find quite a few articles like this one. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-transyouth-data/ The facts are not biased religious propaganda, but you and @ppp...

    Vatican Blasts Trans Surgery, Surogacy, Etc

    For some people the problem is confusion which they may get over as they get older. It would have been better imo if "gender fluidity" ideas had not been introduced to young people in schools. Surely that has had an impact on the confusion that many of the kids have. Some of the kids of course...

    Vatican Blasts Trans Surgery, Surogacy, Etc

    Thanks for that. I had read about the Cass Review but was more interested in the link to see the ABC's Fourcorners programme on the subject which I had missed when it was on the TV. There certainly seem to be people like Donald Trump who have no understanding and sympathy for trans kids and no...

    It certainly is good to improve the predicting method for those who might or might not desist in their gender identity. Your article did interestingly state that social transitioning of the young could lead to those children not desisting. The last part of the KQED article is interesting...

    That sounds like what I posted. I suppose puberty blockers and hormonal treatment has preceded surgery and the puberty blockers and hormonal treatments are also what concern people and Governments these days, as they see better initial treatments with less potentially harmful side effects.

    Vatican Blasts Trans Surgery, Surogacy, Etc

    I don't think that anyone needs a letter from a medical person to socially transition unless they are quite young and at school. I suppose many people would see this as catering to the the misguided ideas of the young.

    From what I see puberty blockers tend to keep people in a state of confusion about their gender. If those people were to go through puberty they may be able to grow out of their confusion. These blockers also can have negative and permanent side effects physically. It seems that the considered...

    Vatican Blasts Trans Surgery, Surogacy, Etc

    Yes of course I was aware of that and was showing the news of what is happenning these days in various countries in regard to gender affirming treatments. This also shows that the science is not in and that governing bodies who look at the science are realising that it points to different types...

    Treatment can commence quite early in Australia and it seems that would include surgery probably after puberty blocking meds. It does depend on the attitude of the parents to it and if parents are not happy it can be taken to the courts to get the treatment approved. From this lawyer site...
