I do not write these words lightly, and there is not an ounce of mockery or, God forbid, hatred in my heart when I say that Caitlyn Jenner is a man wearing a dress. I am simply speaking the plain and obvious truth, as politically incorrect as that truth might be right now. But with transgender issues dominating the news these days, and in light of Tucker Carlson’s epic takedown of Democratic leader Zac Petkanas on national TV last week (specifically, discussing gender-related questions), it appears that now is as good a time as ever to state some things clearly.
So then, to avoid all ambiguity: No, you do not get to choose your gender; no, gender is not determined by the level of your personal enlightenment (as Petkanas alleged); no, your gender does not change simply because you announce that it has changed; and no, it is not good science to allow people to change their sexual identity on their birth certificates. In fact, there is nothing scientific about that at all.
This being said, I do not minimize for a moment the very real struggle of precious little children who struggle deeply with their gender identity, nor do I deny that many children (and adults) report that their lives are more stable and fulfilled when they identify as the opposite of their biological sex.
I do not minimize the traumas through which Bruce Jenner (or others like him) has lived, nor do I claim to be able to relate to those traumas personally.
And I do not make a spiritual judgment about someone who struggles with their gender identity, as if this struggle somehow made them into the vilest of sinners. Why should that be the case?
Again, my goal is not to belittle or disparage, and as loudly and clearly as I can, I proclaim God’s love for all of you who identify as transgender, reminding each one that Jesus died for you just as He died for me and that God has a good and godly purpose for each of your lives.
You are not defective any more than I am defective, and every human being on the planet is broken in some way and in need of a Great Physician.
But because I care enough about the transgender community to speak out, even though I’ll be branded a transphobe and bigot, I’m going to state things with clarity and conviction here, reminding us that the emperor has no clothes (as Carlson rightly did on Fox last week). And I’m going to encourage parents and policy makers, counselors and pastors, educators and activists, along with all those who care about their trans-identified friends and family that: 1) there is no settled science confirming transgender identity; 2) we still know very little about many operations of the brain, including those related to what is now called gender dysphoria (previously known as gender identity disorder, or GID); 3) studies continue to indicate that the vast majority of children who identify as transgender do not do so after puberty (even if many ultimately identify as gay); 4) there must be a better way than our current approach to treating gender dysphoria; 5) it is unfair to impose the struggles of less than 1 percent of the population on the rest of the population, especially on impressionable kids; and 6) gender distinctions should be celebrated and appreciated, rather than branded patriarchal or heterosexist or the like.
And while I’m at, let me say this to CNN’s Chris Cuomo: Sir, it is not intolerant for a father not to want his daughter to see a boy's penis at school. That's called being a good dad.
I address these issues (and more) on this new video commentary, including some telling clips with Jenner and with Carlson and Pektanas, along with some shocking statements from Cuomo and from California public universities.
Please take a few minutes to watch and share the video (it’s less than 7 minutes), and then do three things: 1) pray for a fresh and real love for those who struggle with their gender identity; 2) reach out to those who identify as transgender and ask them sincerely to tell you their story; and 3) help them find wholeness in the Lord.
And remember: Caitlyn Jenner is no more a woman than Rachel Dolezal is black.
Those are the facts, and nothing more.
Don’t forget that he fathered six children. A woman can not do that.
Why should he cut it off? He has a penis and inflated breasts. How special can he get?
No need to apologize for being right.
Exactly. The left loves to talk about "settled science." Here's some settled science: Unless they figure out a way to alter your chromosomes, if you are born a man, you will live your entire life as a man, and die a man. It doesn't matter what you "identify" as, what you change your name to, or how many dresses you wear. If you were born a man, you're a man. If you were born a woman, you're a woman. It's settled science.
Jenner likes to look at his new feminine top part while he uses his masculine bottom part. Maybe some previous competitor told him to go screw himself. I can’t believe I’m posting such a crude thing, but that’s the way I see it. It is a mental disorder.
I disagree with this writer who is striving to garner an ounce of credibility from The Left when he says he doesn’t quibble with the “trauma precious young kids experience with gender identity”.
It’s time for the 95-99% of us (my opinion) that believe this statement is bullshit to speak up loud and clear and long on this point. Young children, devoid of encouragement by sick adults, DO NOT question their sexual identity.
And those ADULTS that do need to be fitted with strait jackets and gags so that they can’t harm children.
Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner is male.....DNA doesn’t lie. End of argument
I gained a little too much weight a few years ago and had inflated breast. Didn’t feel that special.

I think it relates to the whole warped leftist mindset that “reality is whatever we make it” - like that silly webpage someone runs where they pretend that Hillary won the election and make up stories as if she’s running the country.
That view is pretty common around here, but it's still wrong.
AFTER he has surgery, he's STILL a man.
It’s shameful & just so wrong that the doctors, psychiatrists, & medical experts didn’t say this from day one. They know the harm, physically, mentally, emotionally this lifestyle causes. They’re the ones that should be speaking out loud & clear. JMHO
I finally figured it out last year. I saw two obvious Lesbian doctors, discussing all the LGBTQXYZ ‘issues’, and determined that the American Psychiatric/Psychologic Association has been taken over by LGBTQXYZ’s with MD degrees. This ‘phenoma’ is only ‘acceptable’ because some doctors are promoting it. But they are doctors with an agenda. I remember a PhD Psychologist (former) friend telling me that homosexuality had been reclassified as a ‘variation on normal’ way back in the 70’s. And people believe doctors because ‘they are smarter than the average bear’, dontcha know. We need doctors who are brave enough to tell the truth......but then they will be ostracized and marginalized for telling the TRUTH.
And now back to my coffee which thinks it's really tea.
She was also in Blackadder Goes Forth:
If he mangles his body with surgery , there is a specific term for that.
“Eunuch.”
He hasn’t though, so he’s just a transvestite pervert.
Then that person is male.
Technically, the male body produces both female and male gametes. The female body only produces female gametes.
