The Issue of Transgender

[Delta4Embassy]

Suit yourself. As Mr. Worf said, "Die in ignorance. I can waste no more time on you."

Though if so inclined, I threaded about it a while back, took some looking but here's the thread about both gender and biological sex.

How many Genders (not sexes) are there? | US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum

I appreciate your taking the time...but you were right, it was a waste. My faith is unfaltering, although, I as a Christian .. falters quite a bit

Would say a faith which never falters is a faith that's never challenged, stagnant, and dangling by a thread. Even Mother Theresa doubted and questioned.

I think that come from one never faithful as an adult...
We are human, we always have doubts, but those that have LESS doubts persevere and are happiest...

If religious people with little doubt are the happiest, why do spend so much time trying to force their beliefs onto those who may not share them? Seems to me that's like controlling the narrative so no one raises questions or doubts you may then agree with.

If everyone around you agrees with you, untested faith becomes very easy. It's how cults work. But it's a false conviction if you never came to know how to explain your beliefs rationally and reasonably to an unbeliever. You can say anything. But if you can't explain why you believe things when someone questions them I think you'll actually be very unhappy indeed.

Delta.. why do you feel because people are impassioned about their beliefs it's a "force"?
I hope you will turn to God/Jesus.. but it's not a necessity.
We all have to live our own lives and make our own choices.
Please don't look down on others that are doing what they feel is right.....

Jesus is dead and I've yet to see any evidence for God as religous people think of it. I avoid UV max times of the day because I believe in the Sun and ultraviolet light. I do not abide by ancient regulations in the name of God because there's zero evidence for it.

Many evil people in history believed what they were doing was right. Their belief is no reason to respect or tolerate such beliefs if they're demonstratably wrong or false.

I was told by my OB-GYN that I had the pelvic structure of a man (more narrow than most women, therefore, had to have C-Sections both times).

that being said, what are you thoughts on this article?

Transgender at 8: Tyler remains certain he’s a boy as the world changes around him

It depends. Is changing your gender based on how you feel a Constitutionally protected right?

Depends on if God rules your life.
Or if man's law rules your life.

In law, the constitution does.

If someone wants to have religious beliefs with no empirical support that's fine. It's when they go outside and try convincing others, often times in a very hostile manner that they're gonna run into me, or someone like me.

Gender dysphoria is a mental problem. Society handles this shit wayyyy wrong. Whether its the right trying to use god and shame them or its the left telling them its normal and lying to their face.
They need love and attention.
I have a cousin that is now a "he". I have researched this alot because I didnt understand it. And I wanted to.
My cousin wont talk to me much anymore because I refused to deny biology and call him a male. lol

They have a problem with reality. Just like people that suffer from species dysphoria.
"No bitch, you are not a damn dolphin" lol

I don't understand

I mean, why do people that are men (or women) think they want to be the opposite sex

chemical imbalance, basically. It is like any other mental problem.
Reality is reality.
If you choose to dress like a chick and remove your penis, ok. If you think you are really a chick and DNA fucked up, you have a problem.

I am actually in agreement with you.
People don't realize, most of life is in your mind... how you program it....

 

[Iron Head]

If an adult wants to claim to be the opposite sex more power to them. But this isn't something we should be pushing onto children.

People misconstrue things.
God created us Male and Female for a reason.
Are there "weird" things in life that happen? Of course! We all have them! But, we persevere and do what is in the BEST interest of ourselves, our future generations and society.

Why is this such a difficult thing to grasp?

Actually, 'God' created us male, female, and at least 4 other biological sexes.

explain and prove...

Google this string, and pick a source. I'm not your paid research assistant.

how many sexes are there in humans

I am a woman of Christianity, so, no matter what "Google" says, I say there are 2 sexes, male and female.

There are men, women, Mexicans, Asians, and brown people.

Yeah, I'd stay away from moral ideologies too if I was into the same weird shit as Delta.
