No, that is not what blasphemous means. You're creating your own definition.
To answer your question on how we know what God intended, from a Christian perspective we can know in a few ways. One is what the bible says. The other is in what we know of God's nature and character. And lastly, plain old common sense. It would be a contradiction of what is clearly stated in the scriptures, for starters. I could explain further but that should be enough.
As for your comments on hermaphrodites, for starters that is different than transgenderism. Secondly, that is extremely rare. And lastly and most importantly, things like that exist because this is a fallen, corrupted world. God did not create hermaphrodites in the beginning, that was not part of God's original design. The reason we have things like diseases, deformities, imperfections, etc is because this is a fallen world. A lot of things exist now that were never part of God's intent or design.
Lastly, of course gay people existed back then, the fact that something has been around for a long time doesn't have anything to do with whether or not it's a sin. Sinners of all types have been around since nearly the dawn of time. Doesn't mean God approves of everything people do. lol.
Yeah, creating my own definition based on how it's used in the modern world.
No matter how you look at the word, it's all about getting people to shut up, it's censorship, there's no difference between blasphemy and what the Chinese do. They all get people to fear saying reality because it'll upset the powers that be.
So, in order to know what God "thinks" you have the Bible, which is interpreted very wildly by different people.
The second is you claim to know "God's nature", I'm guessing I'd see this very differently from you
Thirdly, "common sense" is often full of contradictions, and is often very convenient for the person talking.
What'd I'd say to all of this is that "God" is a human construct and "God" fits perfectly with a person's way of seeing things, a very convenient construct.
Yes, hermaphrodites are different to transgender people. However there are similarities.
Religious people say that there are two genders. There are males. Males have dicks. And there are female, females have vaginas. It's simple, it's easy to understand. Kids from a very early age see that as the way it is. Perhaps from a conservative point of view females should have long hair, males should have short hair, things that like. But from a simplistic biological function, that's it.
Religious right wing people also have a view of people with mental problems that is also very conservative and very simplistic. They seem to see mental problems as a merely way of acting, rather than something someone is born with. I have people with mental problems in my family, so I know it's more genetic, passed from parents to children, or grandparents to grandchildren.
Why do I bring up mental problems? Because transgender seems to be homosexual + mental problems.
I've known plenty of gay people. I've seen people who I KNEW were gay, and they didn't accept it. Actually quite a lots of people. People I was best friends with and these people were generally not people with mental problems.
However it's well known that many transgender are people with mental problems. They have problems and they think their problem is that they identify with something other than their body gender. So they think if they get the gender surgery that their problems will be over, then they find out it's not the case.
I'd say both homosexuality AND mental problems are NATURAL. You will probably say otherwise.
However I'd say that hermaphrodites PROVE that we, as humans, are often what you might call "wrong".
A hermaphrodite is born "wrong". They don't conform to the either a dick or a vagina view of the world. So people can be born "wrong". If people can be born "wrong" then, based on your view of the world, this must have come from "God".
This isn't someone deciding to have both a dick and a vagina. It was forced on them. I can go further in my evidence and say that people are born without body parts, or without a brain that functions properly. We have autistic kids being born, and worse. We have people born without legs, or arms, or functioning eyes or whatever.
What is "natural" does not often conform with the "norm". But if there is a "God", then this is because "God" allows it to happen.
If this is so, then gay can be natural, mental problems (I mean 25% of people have some kind of mental problem) are natural too. Which means transgender is natural, or at least the desire to be a transgender person.
No, whether gay existed, doesn't change whether humans in the Christian/Islamic/Jewish churches believe it is a "sin". Even China, under Xi, thinks it's a "sin", they tolerate it to a legal extent, but gay people come across problems that others don't in China, even though technically China has gay as legal.
You can see homosexuality as a sin. But then ALL HUMANS are sinners. It's a simple fact of the Bible.
Bible verses about Are All People Sinners
www.openbible.info
This claims to have 100 quotes from the Bible that say that all people are sinners.
Even worse is that adultery is a sin, and in the old testament the punishment is stoning to death and right wing Christians voted for a serial adulterer for President but would not vote for a homosexual. That, right there, is hypocrisy.
So, presenting Jesus as a human being, is presenting Jesus as a sinner. Presenting Jesus as a transgender, is presenting Jesus as a sinner. Presenting Jesus as a rabbit, might not be.
