I’m 61, have plenty of life experience as a counselor, and my reaction to your stories is: yes, it’s true. There is a lot of mental illness in the world. The difference between you and me, I suspect, is that I’d like to help people find relief, and if possible transformation. You’d be happy to have them wallow and suffer in it to suit your need for ideological self-righteousness.

Creator of YouTube series, “Transgender and Christian,” Austen Hartke identifies as a transgender person of faith who interprets biblical passages as transgender-affirming. Hartke is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and a graduate of Luther Seminary’s Master of Arts program in Old Testament/Hebrew Bible Studies.

Besides THIS life is a NANOSECOND of existence.
After death = ETERNITY.

God intended this person to be transgender? Wow, is s/he delusional.

No one HAS to wallow in any misery.
All one has to do is seek the Lord with all his heart and soul. Our good Lord is joy, peace and love.

Common sense, which isn’t common these days in intelligentsia.

It’s funny how a single word changes everything .....

“ I believe God made all of me—gender identity included—and intended for me to be a transgender person who sees the world through a different lens,” Hartke writes. “I don’t think God made a mistake. I think God made me transgender on purpose.”

Substitute “murderer” for transgender.

Interesting what that does. That kind of logic could be used to justify everything

Every deviancy (from the “normal”) will sooner or later become “tolerable” as long as it is perceived to not cause any societal harm.

So the question is, does “normalizing” transgenderism harm society in the long run?

Same could be asked for other deviancies such as same sex marriage.

The thing is Darwinism evolution also done not support gay or transgender..

Darwinism content Genetic traits that increase reproductive odds get pass on.. and Genetic traits that would not reproduce would not....

gay or transgender would sure not increase reproductive odd so not a trait that would get reproduce

Some facts:

If someone addresses transgenderism in a hard black and white view, then he/she does not have enough real experience with this, regardless of which side he/she takes!

There is a distinct difference between transgenderism (gender dysphoria) and same sex attraction. While the two can go together, many times these do not.

A man and woman having sex out of wedlock is sin. A man with a man or a woman with a woman is sin, also. We earthbound souls may distinguish between the two but heaven does not.

Romans chapter 1 describes gross sexual behavior, yes, but in the context of pagan religions. The cultural behavior at the time would make Nancy Pelosi blush.
