Hi Evangelicalhumanist. Good morning. I'm not a calluos person, even though my fervour for the Way might suggest that. I do not believe in gender reassignment and am worried about it gaining so much ground recently. I'm concerned that if such is protected by law it will encourage others to follow the same route. Have you read this: High court to decide if children can consent to gender reassignment Children being considered if they can give informed consent to medical treatment for gender reassignment. It's madness. Yes, I do consider the issues regarding gender identity to be a mental health problem, but many sins relate to mental health issues, don't they? That's not to say people should give in to their mental health problem, but they should seek help.I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in what the Bible has to say about the subject. That book has a remarkably poor understanding of most psychological issues.
However, I can't help but notice that you talk about "sinful people" and at the very same time say it "should be treated as a mental health issue." So I take it that you think people who are mentally ill are evil, and ought to be shunned?
I have to say, that is precisely the attitude I expect from people who try to stuff their scripture down my throat.
Now, why is gender reassignment happening more than it used to? Because it's possible now, and it wasn't before. As one of your articles said, "you just lived with it." Oh, living with it was very hard -- and lots of people took the other option -- suicide -- but I don't suppose that's as bad as trying to confront what is for some people a difficult problem (one I certainly don't understand), and dealing with it.
I'm a person of compassion. If you knew what I did outside of work, you would realise that. But, I find gender reassignment such a departure from the Bible, that is really heinous to me. It's a slap in Yahweh's face to say that He didn't know what He was doing when he gave us our gender. But have you noticed how many gender identities (gender neutral, non-binary, agender, pangender, genderqueer, two-spirit, third gender) they are today? Oh no, male and female aren't good enough anymore, but what does Yahweh say "And Elohim created man in his own image, in the image of Elohim created he him; male and female created he them." In my late teens going in to my early 20's, I used some forums for people of my age group and on there people started calling themselves by all sorts of gender identities like it was a fad to associate with anything that wasn't just male or female. Young people are being brainwashed by this liberal attitude when this is a serious, dangerous topic. At the universities, you are seeing this liberalism already well set in. And yet, many of the trans people themselves are calling it a mistake, as I already pointed out in my last post. I mean, some people are even saying they are genderless, which is a prevarication of the facts.
If you stand up for gender reassignment, you really are missing the point. If so many trans people are being vocal and brave enough to say transition was a mistake, then your support for this confusion becomes harmful support. Read this case: 27-year-old man regrets having surgery | Sex Change Regret It proves that evil companionship's corrupt good morals. This nonsense needs to be put to bed. But it won't be, this will no doubt continue until Yahshua returns.
