(Gender dysphoria *is* a mental illness. One that transitioning can treat, if deemed necessary by medical professionals)No, it is in fact harmful. They literally MUTILATE their bodies?? So that isn’t harmful? And then they have depression, anxiety, don’t feel anymore confident whether they want to admit it or not (I’ve seen) and some live to regret it. Sounds very harmful to me :/ I’m not against them as people but it’s not normal
Because it’s NOT NORMAL. Why do you think so many are against it?? Not because it’s unknown to us. Comparing it to surgery’s to fix pain is dumb. I hate seeing people not comfortable in who they are, it makes me sad. Including when people feel the need to change their nose just because they “don’t like it”. But it makes me SICK to see parents raising trans kids and hospitals coming out with papers where you get to put what gender your newborn baby is according to you
No, there are people raising kids to be trans actually. The only thing I really hate about the whole thing is it is so pushed and advocated for (by the minority), but most of all celebrated.. like why? Why are you celebrating pride? And why tf is it called pride😭 I don’t celebrate being straight and cis (if I’m using that right), and it shouldn’t ever be brought up in schools. My argument isn’t that it is wrong because people don’t like it, I’m saying there are reasons we don’t like it
Straight A but don’t understand basics of social sciences. You can’t use “uh huh they totally are” as an argument. There are hundreds of cases of kids being forced to be straight with conversion camps where they torture kids to not express themselves. But once again not a one example of kids being forced to be trans, because that’s not a thing. I’m sure you’ll pull some Facebook post from some right wing message board as your “evidence” but that just proves you don’t think for yourself
No, my evidence would be the people who had to go through detransitioning. I follow their journey on social media and I know people in person. Why are you trying to insult me? It’s not working because I do think for myself and don’t care what you say. If you don’t agree with me, fine👌
“Graduated top of my class” Was the class creative writing? Because that’s pure fiction. If anyone updated definitions, it’s y’all. Cultures around the planet have had more than two genders for millennia, this isn’t new. It’s not just an issue of you failing to understand biology, it’s you failing to understanding both biology and anthropology.
I’m don’t want to argue with you because I really don’t hate you and if you are happy, I’m happy for you. At the end of the day, it’s your life. The biggest thing for me I guess is that God created us male and female, and I believe the devils plan is to ruin people by attacking their identity. That’s where everything is mostly stemming from, take away every other point I’ve made. I’m only sharing this because clearly every other point wasn’t good enough. But now you know why I think the way I do
i’m curious though as a trans person, and i apologise if i sound judgy, but how does it truly feel? like does it feel like you’re in another body/you’ve lost parts of yourself but you still feel whole since this is the gender you want? or you don’t think about what you lost at all are just comfortable w this new form? again i’m curious and im not calling you insane or sumn
I haven’t medically transitioned and not everyone does. But honestly the body I’m in doesn’t feel right to me. It makes people think that I’m a woman, and I’m not. That’s what causes the distress, and that’s all there is to it. I won’t miss any parts I get rid of if I decide to transition, that’s for sure. Because it’ll make me feel more comfortable in my skin, and align myself closer to how I feel in my head.
I don’t know if calling something I can’t control ‘sinful’ or the workings of the devil is really fair. Especially since I was raised catholic and spent a while hoping god might make me feel differently about myself, or that eventually I’d be comfortable being a woman. But that never happened, and I’m much happier the way I am now. I think God would want that, right?
I see thanks for sharing. And as a christian myself i do get confused as well. Conflicted about the bibles stance on homosexuality(not being a homosexual but acting on homosexual desires) and then on trans people too. Do i condemn them even though when I speak to them, i only hear people that were lost and uncomfortable w themselves and found a way that worked for them?
Not to keep using this comment section as a personal diary but especially with the public vitriol towards trans people, if I could just be happy being a woman I’d grab onto that. But I’d rather live a life dealing with judgement from people who don’t get me than ignore what I am, because that made me severely depressed the last time I tried it hahaaa
Yeah that’s pretty much it! People love to think the ambiguous “trans ideology” is spreading like a disease, but the reality is people are finding themselves and finding new ways to express themselves that they just couldn’t before. I think there’s a merit to even medical transitioning if it makes so many people’s lives better!
You actually want examples? Okay first Genesis 1:27 “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them”. The Bible never mentions gender, or that there is more than one, but it condemns man lying with a man in the same way as a woman, I’m sure you could find that. And then Psalm 139:13-14, shortened to he “knit me together in my mother’s womb” and we are “fearfully and wonderfully made”.
Why would we want to change who He literally made us to be? Why would we feel uncomfortable in our bodies, and not like who we are? Because there is a devil and he hates who we are. He hates who God made us to be and wants us to hate ourselves too. That’s what I’ve got for ya right now, don’t want to make you bored..
Sorry to keep yapping, but can I just say I’m sorry for all the hate people have towards you and others. I’m not condemning you or anything like that, I hope it doesn’t come across that way. I’m just very against people feeling like crap about themselves because I believe God made you perfect.
It’s fine, but honestly there’s a lot of natural things people are born with that they hate and change. It can be as simple as like, bleaching your hair bc you don’t like that it’s brown, or getting braces bc you don’t like that your teeth are crooked. Someone told me once that sometimes God gives you a side quest in finding your own happiness, and sometimes that means finding out you’re trans and much happier as another gender. All in all, I’m HAPPY the way I am now. I don’t hate myself anymore
There’s a certain joy you can only get when you find yourself, and I think God wouldn’t deny anyone that joy. Instead of thinking it like it’s a devil making you hate yourself, it’d be nice to think of it as God opening the way to give you a sense of purpose that couldn’t happen any other way, Yknow? Idk this is a bit of a ramble. But if it were the work of satan I don’t think I’d be as happy and fulfilled as I am now
So, I think you’re really over complicating it. I was suicidal when I tried to pretend I wasn’t trans. Now I’m living happier than I’ve ever been. Why would I willingly go back to being suicidal, when I can enjoy my life instead? Not to get graphic, but that was and is my reality. If God really wants me to exist in a suicidal state that’s not very nice at all :(
This is Biblical. Just as the gate to heaven is narrow, but hells is wide, and broad is the road that leads to destruction. I guess I go to the Bible rather than trying to find joy on my own. I still sin, fall short. But I turn to Jesus and he does take temptations and wrong desires away. Sometimes we need to fight however.
Exactly my friend. Anytime I’ve ever tried to find my own joy in things it’s resulted in short term satisfaction and long term distraction. Whether that’s alcohol, sex, drugs, transgenderism, anything you could think of, it will remedy what you feel temporarily but then dig yourself deeper into that hole you thought you were escaping.
Comparing the likes of alcoholism and sex to being trans isn’t fair at all. I know you don’t want to respond but not having sex and not drinking doesn’t make me want to kill myself. I can tell you this with certainty because I don’t drink or have sex. But that’s NOT the case with being trans. This is honestly the last reply I’ll leave if you guys are so set on my whole life being a massive sin, but I’m still confident in the person I’ve become regardless 🤷
Let me tell you this and I don’t mean this to be offensive in the slightest, but Satan can’t kill you, he can’t take your soul for himself, what he can do is destroy you and break you down to the point that you kill yourself without repentance. That’s why following to fleeting joys of this life will always end in destruction, drug abuse results in overdose for example, there’s a reason the trans suicide rate is high and it’s not because of outside forces, it’s because that’s satans end game.
People like you are the reason trans suicide is so high, they are constantly under attack by people like you both verbally and physically. Transitioning has been proven to be helpful but you close your eyes to the truth and just say it’s their fault they want to die not the people around telling them to die
The reason trans people kill themselves so often is because of a lack of acceptance. Thats it. It’s not Satanic, it’s bullying and everyone telling them their feelings are wrong that makes them decide that if they can’t be who they are, they’d rather die. That’s where I was at. And I’m so glad I escaped the hell that was my mental state as a teenager. Think whatever you want, but I know myself and I’m happy with my life and will be for the rest of it.
It won’t, it will just prolong it, God is the only cure to mental illness all human remedies will fall short, the trans suicide rate should prove this point. It’s much more common a transgender commits after transitioning that someone decides not to transition and kills themself because of that decision.
That’s the enemy’s lies for you. When I was in foster care with no real family, and memories of everything that happened, I wanted to kill myself too. And I am most definitely not trying to make you feel like your whole life is a sin, I don’t think the other person is either. I guess we are just sharing our side but if you are set that’s okay. We are no better than you, I don’t think that at all
You actually can, why pick a lane when there is natural cross over, there exists a such thing as natural laws, those laws are set into place by an intelligent God who also created the entire universe, a universe encompassing both science and theism, if I where to “pick a lane” I would only be able to give half of the picture.
If they believe in a false narrative and are suffering because of it. You should instead try and convince to seek professional help, rather than bombarding them with the truth “regardless of someone’s reaction to it” Notice how you can’t do that for trans people because they HAVE sought professional help and have been RECOMMENDED transitioning.
So you agree transgenderism is indeed a false narrative? Due to separation the church and our daily lives, seeking professional help will never be an adequate solution, the only way to remedy this mental illness is through God as well as “professional help”. If you only have on or the other you lack the full picture. That’s why professionals cannot come up with an adequate solution, resigning to just playing along with the effected persons delusions to help them cope.
Hey.. this is sort of random but have you ever read about eunuchs in the Bible? Specifically Matthew 19:12. That’s the intersex babies. And I don’t have an answer for you on that, it isn’t as common as transgender people? I don’t think, idk. But yeah, good question.
Not if they don’t accept the free gift of salvation and turn from sin? And recognize sin.. Jesus died so we could have the gift but it’s our choice to take it or not. Do you believe that since Jesus died on the cross, we are all going to heaven? Heck, do you believe the Bible is the inspired word of God? Because if not we can’t get anywhere here
Nope you are hateful, I’ve seen plenty like you. You use faith as a shield for your sickness. You will not reach the gates when you pass. You were told to spread love and acceptance to help those who were lost but you stamp down on the most hurt in our communities. You target the people being killed rather than the ones killing them
I’m Catholic, and I just can’t see why being trans would be a dealbreaker in terms of whether you go to heaven or not. Like, plenty of cis people do things that can be considered bad everyday, yet merely existing as a trans person means you are damned? I just think there’s far worse sins than transitioning, if it even is a sin.
Again, love sometimes feels harsh and hate sometimes feels accepting. Let me ask you, who is more loving, a father who sees his done going down a bad path with drugs, and continuing to fund him until it kills him? Or a father that noticed this, cuts him off financially and seeks to have the son do better? One is a nice enabler, the other is a father that wants the best for his son even if it looks “mean” to the son.
Okayyy woahhh, it is absolutely not. I do not think being trans is a dealbreaker on whether you go to heaven or hell. I have never just thought “all people who are associated with lgbtq are going to hell” never once in my life. And I absolutely agree with you. I’m only trying to point out why I think it would be considered a sin. I hate the whole “this sin is bigger than the others” crap.
Tough love hurts short term. Your “love” is essentially telling trans people their existence is a crime and that it’s their fault if they kill themselves. You have a hateful heart and it’s clear you’ll never change cause you deluded yourself into thinking you are righteous. I pray that if you have kids you’ll understand the love you are supposed to give
I’m not sure if you’re being disingenuous on purpose or not. You’re right about tough love, and that’s the point I’m trying to bring home, where you are wrong is that I didn’t say trans existence is a crime, I said it was a sin, among many other sins in this world, I’m a sinner no sins are greater than the other, my point is transgenderism is more than one single action, it’s a lifestyle, a continuous sin, not a one off mistake. You can’t repent for a lifestyle without turning it around.
I also never said it’s their fault if they kill themselves, I explicitly said the opposite, I said it’s the fault of Satan/demons i view transgender people as victims not enemies. There isn’t hate in my heart just a commitment to truth even if it hurts, I’ve never convinced myself I’m righteous, I’ll be the first to tell you how bad I am however this conversation isn’t about me, I fall short hourly, but the test of true righteousness isn’t how many times you fall but how many times you getbackup
