I think you are neglecting the very real possibility that there is absolutely jothing wrong with these kids...until their deranged parents push an agenda upon them.

If people are having so kuch trouble figuring out male vs female parts, I predict a shortage of electricians and plumbers in the future.

These kids have a through-the-roof rate of attempted suicide:

Of course, leftists will say that this is just the consequence of societal pressures. America is so sexually backward!

What if it is instead the consequence of politically correct parents screwing with their children's sexual identity?

Do ANY of the kids pictured look in any way "normal"?

Not just the playing dressup as the opposite sex, just frickin' weird looking.

The "boy" with the neon blue hair who dresses like a lesbian.

The "girl" at the end who dresses like a serial killer.

They can't even "make believe" correctly.

They just look like freaks.

Confused children who's parents are buying into and encouraging this crap.

Abusing their kids, really.

Just to make some kind of political "statement".

Sorry.

“Boys have a penis. Girls have a vagina.”

Does a transgender boy have a penis?
Does a transsexual boy have a penis?
What’s the difference?

Matthew 19:12

“For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.”

I assume that this is the verse in Matthew to which you refer.

A eunuch is man who has been castrated or possibly a person who was born without sex organs. The idea of transgenderism is not one of sexual abstention, but of a perversion or denial of the original design of a body and a desire to mutilate healthy sex organs in order to mimic the opposite sex. I don’t think this verse applies.

The truth is that most of these kids have been mentally tampered with by parents who have Munchausen by Proxy syndrome. Kids most often have a strong desire to please their parents and, at young ages, don’t really understand the significance of sex. They are responding to their parents twisted signals.

I am neglecting the possibility that there is nothing wrong with these kids. Because I consider feeling like one gender when you are the other to be very wrong indeed. Neither you nor I would enjoy that. It’s a cruel and horrible defect.

One parent said it was about “fundamentally accepting our children for who they are.”

Not true! They are who they are, boy or girl, according to their biological sex. Accept the truth. Next question.

My Matthew says NOTHING like this!!!! My Bible says right after what Jesus says about Adultery....

10....the disciples said to him, "If that is how things stand for a man with a wife, it is better not to marry,"

11....To this he replied, "That is a course not everyone can accept, but only those whom God has appointed.

12..For while some are incapable of marriage because they were born so, or were made so by men, there are others who have renounced marriage for the sake of the kingdom of Heaven. Let those accept who can" My Bible is The Oxford Study Bible.....the only reference to a Eunuch was the one in the carriage that got baptized and his entire household was converted also.

One of the kids in this story is 7 years old.

I just simply don’t believe that a 7 year old has genuine gender anxiety. Kids 7 years old still believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy...and can generally be tricked into believing any fantasy you put in front of them (my dad’s favorite was telling me there was a man in the toaster painting the bread brown).

I think this is a fad, driven by parents who want to be part of something bigger than themselves...and they are very cruelly pushing this onto their children.

You may not agree with that...but should that scenario be discounted? I this the possibility of parental ‘pushing’ is just as high as the possibility of genuine gender id problems.

Instead of coaching these kids that they were “born the wrong gender,” just tell them, honestly, that they have a difference (a birth defect, which they can understand when older) that mixes up one’s identity, and that these feelings will stay for their whole life.

Not necessarily, as decades of prior research have shown. Most confused kids (before this relentless trans ideology came down like hammers) abandon the confusion starting with puberty and finally in their 20s. Only about 3% stuck with it for life, up until the research of the '90s and '00s, even though lots of young kids express a desire to play with or for the other team. Sometimes it's environmental, and it would be cruel to condemn those kids to believing they have no option to full heterosexuality in adulthood.

For many, gender confusion is something that can be grown out of. I worked in the arts all my long life. I have seen a wide range of coping and not coping with this disorder, including people you would swear were gay or intersex suddenly showing up with a heterosexual partner, getting married, having children and staying married.

One couple I know where the man was a winkytink in adolescence is about to celebrate their 45th anniversary, and their kids turned out more conservative than they are. Nor do I believe he is on the downlow on the side. I've also known lesbian-until-graduation women who got over their curiosity, rebellion or fears and found male partners and stayed married. I've known kids who refused to wear sex-appropriate clothes or hairstyles in childhood, redirect themselves within months of undergoing puberty. But they were not brainwashed in either direction.

The key is supportive behavior by the parents, teachers, pastors, coaches and friends, but not enabling behavior or co-dependent behavior. Those last two are worse than the condemnatory behavior confused people fear.

By that token, I've known parents who abandon their religion and become cheerleaders for LGBT issues because of a child or relative, and I've known parents who tell their children that their belief is to avoid the behavior, but they will always love the person, and negotiate limits with them, what can be done in their home and what cannot. That is the hardest road to walk, but God didn't promise us true righteousness (with humility) would be easy. Just the opposite, in fact.
