‘No one’ is transgender, Virginia bishop says: ‘A truth reflected in every cell of the body’
Washington Times ^ | 24 August 2021 | Victor Morton

A Washington-area Catholic bishop has issued a letter rebutting the transgender movement root and branch, calling gender reassignment “wrong and harmful” and saying everyone is male or female as seen in that person’s body.

“The Church teaches that a person is created male or female,” Bishop Michael F. Burbidge of Arlington wrote. “No one ‘is’ transgender.”...

...Bishop Burbidge said the church wants to lead people who feel discomfort with their biological sex “to the truth and to healing.” He warned against efforts to affirm such dysphoria as an identity as “pernicious” and a form of false charity....

...The bishop added that “to use names and pronouns that contradict the person’s God-given identity,” which includes biological sex as present before birth and in the body “is to speak falsely.”....

There is no such thing as transgender. Imagine a body making normal hormones and they keep taking opposite sex ones. Even if someone’s hormones are off by a little, it wrecks havoc on the body. I can’t even imagine what happens to a body bombarded with opposite sex ones.

Yes. The liberals like to portrait themselves as the “science” guys. “Follow the science.”
In transgenderism, they clearly do NOT!
Both religion and science agree, there is no such a thing as changing the sex.

Actual event.
Young cashier: Sir, you have to wear a mask in the store!
Me: Masks don’t work.
Cashier: Yes they do! I follow “the science.”
Me: You follow “the science?” How many genders are there?

Transgender is removed from Trans-dragon only by degree. In addition to hormone therapy, reconstruction, and prosthesis, the latter also suggests the need for an ignition source and fuel supply.

The current bishop of San Francisco is good.

Forget bishop, he should be the Pope.

The bishop expresses my thinking on the matter quite well.

I spoke with Bp. Burbidge several times when he was at the Raleigh, NC diocese. A very holy man, and humble.

“A truth reflected in every cell of the body’”

That’s a 10-penny nail hit with an 8-pound sledge hammer.

Right. “Transgender” is actually about a mental delusion. No reason to mess with bathroom signs. It’s irrational to put people in jail for using “wrong” pronouns.

Contrary opinions are bullfeathers.
