I’ve got to admit, I never thought I’d see transgenderism championed on FreeRepublic!
If he was “man” enough to have multiple kids with multiple wives, you can forget convincing me he was a female all along.
“I’ve got to admit, I never thought I’d see transgenderism championed on FreeRepublic!”
Recognizing the existence of reality is not necessarily having “transgenderism championed on FreeRepublic!” at all. You cannot honestly go about accusing people of being a witch and burning them at the stake in the metaphorical sense just because you want to believe in the fantasy that a person is a witch despite evidence to the contrary. Likewise, in the real world human beings are born with amazing and often bizarre differences in their gender and sexual characteristics determined by their chromosomes, hormones, and other medical factors. Denial of these medical and biological realities is dishonest and unChristian.
“If he was “man” enough to have multiple kids with multiple wives, you can forget convincing me he was a female all along.”
Perhaps real world facts are not enough to convince you of anything, which is then your problem and your sin of denial. Nevertheless, there are human beings who are born as apparent females with female genitalia who later are naturally transformed from females into males with male genitalia at puberty, and father multiple children.

Such medical cases are only one of numerous ways currently known in which chromosomal, somatic, hormonal, and other factors can produce confusing combinations of gender and sexual characteristics in humans.
Before you set yourself up with the superior than thou attitude you ought to try putting yourself into the circumstances of one of the affected Batista children and tell us how you would regard your own gender, sexuality, and relationship with the Christian church under such a situation as they find themselves in.
