I had to sit down and pray about this for a while, as I truly don’t want to be “mean spirited” about something that is profoundly disabling for some Americans. I am not transgender, a physician, or convinced the binary should burn (activism) so I cannot be called an expert. However, as with everything in the “progressive” agenda these days, there are some real problems with the politics, the double speak and language alteration, of activists. With women now playing second fiddle..in women’s sports…to men who change gender to women, and with science seemingly determined to say it’s genetic. As they did with (male) gay behavior. These may not be changes that positively affect society..any society, as a whole. A transgendered person identifies with the opposite sex. Sometimes, they choose hormones and surgeries to more closely approximate the opposite sex. (from their birth sex). I think everyone knows that now.There is no biological equivalency, only a legal one. Adults in the US have the ability to change their drivers licenses, sometimes altered birth certificates, and legal name changes, and insist on being perceived as the opposite sex. Of much more concern is children, now boxed into gender role confusion. And encouraged to identify as transgendered. For instance, what made my blood run cold, in the articles about the girl now transgender who joined the boy scouts, was her mother’s insistence that ”she climbed trees, so I finally put a name to it. She is transgender.” This is a clear case of a parent either not seeing the child as “feminine “ enough or desiring a boy or desiring attention from having a transgender child. I don’t get it on some levels. Girls climb trees, boys can be artistic, there is nothing assigning EVERY behavior to only boys or girls, I am appalled that feminists go right along with these ideas, after 50 years of telling us girls can do everything boys do…..or the clear lack of feedback from therapists psychiatrists and school systems on leaving that young girl alone..there was nothing wrong with her to begin with. I pray she will be spared hormone blockers. I pray she finds herself, no matter what her mother thinks, before anything permanent is done to her. The first huge language change is deliberately confusing gender (once deemed a more polite word than sex) with gender roles. Some parents/schools/ other institutions might indeed be very inflexible about gender roles, but modern America has supposedly been more inclusive of all children, and allowing each child to express their individuality. With shoving anyone who doesn’t fit in the transgender box, we will do enormous damage to many young people, who by themselves, often become more comfortable with themselves and no longer identify as transgender (86% in one study) The newest rage in science is to call transgenders..chimeras. An unprovable condition which they would claim affects only the part of the brain that affects perception of self/body,. (so where is the double blind study on all the body dysphorias, not just transgenderism, proving a brain problem in all such conditions?) But what does chimerism normally do? 1,chimeric downs syndrome, 2.may be involved in Alzheimer’s. Some autopsied brains show signs of widespread chimerism..different cell lines, through those dying shrinking brains. In other words, though there is chimerism from organ donation, pregnancy (microchimerism), that is we carry pieces of mom and she carries pieces of us, etc, none of the cases with chimerism are necessarily good for health, and It isn’t just twins that form one zygote. Early mistakes in cell lines can cause these problems, too. In other words, it’s the old hermaphrodite argument, updated. Actual hermaphrodites are rare (the circus performers were all makeup and show….) and I assume these days testing is done on intersex babies and decisions made about necessary repairs and how to raise the child, and it does NOT explain transgenderism. Much like the ridiculous attempt to “make” male homosexuality genetic by publishing a report that said male gays have sister or aunts with a desire to have more than the average children…thus passing along gay genes. It is a hypothesis, nothing more, and has never been proven, It’s never been tested in any way. It was simply used to bolster the argument for gay marriage. This is called theoretical genetics. Brain testing showed gay men and women not as far out on the curve as heterosexuals compared for male and female traits. Neuroplasticity can account for the differences. And transgenders fall right in the same part of the curve as homosexuals. In their BIRTH SEX. Far more damaging is watching pornography, it actually causes a loss of gray matter. Yet that obsession is ignored as a problem in our culture. http://www.nature.com/nrg/journal/v14/n5/box/nrg3424_BX1.html http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/42476/title/From-Many--One/ http://en.allexperts.com/q/Genetics-1795/genetic-chimera-develops.htm http://thefederalist.com/2017/01/12/trump-administration-can-truly-help-gender-struggling-americans/ http://waltheyer.com/transgenders-4-studies-say-its-mental-disorders/ So transgenders are being relegated as well to the freak box. Not fully human, or more than human. Just as gay men were a few years ago (not gay women or bisexuals…) Or are they saying they are senile/brain addled? It’s hard to look past the rhetoric, but it’s all negative. I am here to state, as a Christian, that sexual behavior and modes of dress/self-perception, do not make anyone less than human. What is further upsetting about the rush to new bathroom laws ( now at least toned down and some of the birth sex only laws are also being rescinded,) men in women’s sports ( you never get away from the muscle, arm and leg length, etc that building a male body entails, They would by their very nature be at an advantage over women with female DNA raised as women, even while on hormone therapy, as those strength advantages are not lost.) thereby endangering such things as scholarships for women, is the lack of protection for society, for pair bonding and child raising, that every society must have as a goal in order to survive. And that goes right back to activism. Burn the binary. Such hatred of authority that they want to deny children mothers and fathers, raise children as blank slates to be filled in as they make choices (and guess who would be pushing their view of the world on these children, telling them what was PC) coming up with strange pronouns and insisting on lawsuits if one does not comply with their choices, (frankly who uses pronouns in public very often? Do you say,,Hi John, or Hi, are you a he or a hir?) with the only reason for any individual to be called THEY is if they are demon possessed…as far as I can determine, colleges teaching such things as micro aggressions, bullying programs focusing on gay or transgender students,,as if nerds fat kids skinny kids and minority kids don’t get bullied…and ignoring the poor results of surgically altering transgenders. The risk of suicide is real… We come back to the same mentality that sees ANY legitimate authority.. God, national leaders, mothers and fathers, as oppressive. A society with no rules cannot survive. I guarantee babies will still come into the world the regular way , not just out of lab experiments (transhuman status also highly desired by these progressive thinkers) Matthew 15“So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’a spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand-- 16then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. 18Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. There will be women pregnant and those nursing, 3 ½ years before the return of the Messiah. The end of this age. Satan chortles as he tears down all supports humans have built in accordance with Gods will …Nations, institutions such as marriage, proper raising of children…his chosen man of the hour is called the lawless one. 2 Thessalonians 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Now he has people convinced they are ensouled in the wrong body, willing to make themselves eunuchs in order to feel better. He always liked eunuchs, so popular with kings of old as they could not have children to compete/attempt to take the throne. So many boys died as parents or governments sought to create these …perfect servants….but those that lived might attain high government standing. Apparently eunuchs in ancient times were considered capable, not brain addled. He convinced most of the world that engaging in any lust they wished was mankind’s highest calling, while God spoke through the Law, through the Holy Spirit, though the prophets and through the life death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God…that body pleasures were fleeting things, and self-control and order were required. Eunuchs for the pleasure of men were also popular. Sexual abuse, of children and of adults, is very much a theme that ties in closely with society’s fall into the pit. A Christian response to a transgendered person seeking the things of God is difficult. Berating for past decisions does no good, any more than it does with any other sinner (We are all sinners ..a Christian is a sinner saved by grace). The chance to be made whole, to be saved, should be explored, the decision as to what to do about the body, must be in accord with doctors or other professionals. Certainly we can insist as with other new disciples, to refrain from immorality, that means.no sex, no porn, no mind altering drugs and certainly not bringing an attitude of “God is wrong” into the church body! We can make moves to return the public school system to sanity, or withdraw our children and homeschool; this is too important, man making himself creator instead of created, to allow our children to be confused. Arguing with the parents of transgendered children ( whether it is truly gender dysphoria, a parent lying, or a kid lying to cover up their belief they are gay,,yes that happens too, People lie. ) does nothing, If it possible to include such children in positive play and learning time we might want to do so. We can withdraw our children from any college that insists on pursuing our young adults becoming socially progressive, they are there to teach, to prepare, not to corrupt. If a child is over 18 and on student loans or grants, you probably cannot stop the choice to go to such a college. But try. Frankly most students are not involved in gender studies, but trying to get a degree that can actually get them a job, too busy for that nonsense, I offer that as a bit of comfort. We can attempt to prevent the progression of sexual sin. You will be called hateful, but there is no need for society to recognize incestuous relationships, bestiality, or the idea of gender fluidity, which flies in the face of biology, human custom, and rational thought. Pray unceasingly, pray for workers, harvesters, in this area. Pray for our government to pursue righteousness instead of politics which divide and ensnare. Pray for the lost angry lawless souls doing the work of Satan, and heading straight for Hell .It is awful, It is..remorseless, Rebellion which does not stop with the activist, but spreads its poison far and wide. And last of all , remember something, Once gay marriage was achieved the average gay person was no longer even on the radar of activists, and not supported in any way, The same thing has now happened with transgenders, the goalposts moved again, transgenders are told cut yourself up, be happy, and..that’s it. Now they are tearing down the idea of biological sex, with no thought to the human wreckage they have left behind. God’s truth should be presented as the antidote to the madness, We must be ready. The time grows short. |
