Monsignor Pope Ping!
Gd was not mistaken. But people are born with dysfunction ALL THE TIME. Gd has created children with infinite birth differences. Without limbs, even without heart or brain. Why?
Why has He created children who won’t live for hours, or children whose faces will never be the norm?
We won’t know until we join Him, but some clergy believe it is to have us prove Love and Compassion.
Babies are born with this dysfunction where their brain’s gender doesn’t match their body’s. This is one of the hardest dysfunction for Christian and other FReepers to feel compassion about. It’s “icky.” There is only one given (and poor, with low success rate) treatment and that means changing their societal gender. Disruptive to families and everyone. But this is the only treatment available and it sometimes does work (brings contentment in ones skin).
My hope is that people will take a stand and be brave in the face of all the jokes and feel compassion for the cast outs, those just trying to be normal, when they can’t quite.
[They need real help to accept themselves as God made them.]
Laws are being proposed and passed to prevent any student under the age of 18 to seek counseling to guide them to accept who are at birth - a male or female.
Msgr Pope said: “The Body God Gave Us Doesn’t Lie.”
Unfortunately the secular humanist anti-Christian’s don’t recognize God as being our creator, thus they can “decide” that the body, their ‘primoridal ape’ ancestors gave them does lie. And/or, that our bodies are occassionally have a mis-fire due to the original ‘big bang.’
my personal preference is aligned with Msgr Pope.
Here is a great article by Mark Mallet that can only add to the discussion:

An excerpt:
“... what would happen if the animal and plant kingdom disobeyed the laws by which they are governed? What if they ceased to follow the instincts by which they are driven? What would happen to those species? What would happen if the moon ceased to follow its orbit around the earth, and the earth its orbit around the sun? What consequences would unfold? Clearly, it would endanger the existence of those species; it would endanger life on earth. The “harmony” of creation would be broken.
Likewise, what would happen if man and woman ceased to follow the natural laws which are written into their very own bodies? What would happen if they purposely interfered with these functions? The consequences would be the same: a break in harmony that brings disorder, negates life, and even produces death.”
Good points from Charles here.
Shame on the doctors providing this “treatment.” Isn’t there something in their oath about “doing no harm”? They have “literally” destroyed the man who was Bruce Jenner.
Ping!
If gender is solely defined by one’s subjective volition, can someone declare that they will be male on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and female the other days of the week? And what then to do about the birth certificate?
As Christians, we must be careful to not be deceived into these faux guilt ridden conversations regarding homosexuality.
Bruce Jenner’s public display has the media openly discussing how his public transformation finally allows us to discuss these ‘issues.’
They talk about this as though it has been some deep, hidden, taboo that is finally being thrust into the light of an uncompassionate society.
Oddly as I hear these media types sing the open praises of such discussions, I am forced to consider the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. Those ancient cities were well known for their debauchery. In fact, I am confident that their deviant behaviors were not hidden and the behaviors on blatant display. And they considered themselves quite normal or leading a new cultural advent.
So this idea that the world is now ‘free to discuss’ transgenderism is not a new discussion. It is an old discussion, being led by a very old, dark deceiver.
The Bible makes it clear that this particular deviation is not genetic, but choice driven like all the other sins.
May God have mercy on the souls of those deceived into this lifestyle choice and on those guilted into supporting/condoning those choices.
