God wanted me to be a woman I am happy like that
Why go against God wishes?
That is awesome. Now, imagine how it would be if you were not happy. What if you felt out of place? What if you felt grossly uncomfortable? What if you truly identify with masculinity?
Unfortunately everyone is not likemyou...it happens. Perhaps you should read some books about transgender.....it is real....and not as simple as going against God.
You sound as stupid as a bag of hammers
Really
Rustic?
Have you ever had a friend go through transgender issues?
Do you have any idea what it's like for someone with a female
personality or soul to be born in a male body and have to come
to terms with society's expectations and rules on gender?
I had a friend come out ONLINE when I didn't quite understand it either.
This person admitted feeling constant suppressed resentment over
having to put up with all the male things that society expected of men.
Didn't see it as a choice, but hated it. Was married and totally repressed.
When we started talking about the Bible and whether Christianity judged people for cross dressing and not respecting male/female roles as etched in stone, I said it was more about spiritual gender. We "the people in society ie humanity" are ALL the body or "Bride" of Christ or the "female in the relationship" submitting to universal law or truth that the "male figure or Lord" is used to symbolize. I said it didn't have to be rigid male/female roles but we all serve as helpmeets sometimes, and other times we serve as leaders/teachers and the male "authority" roles.
It depends on the spirit.
Well my friend ended up coming out admitting "he" had always FELT FEMALE, so I started to talk to HER as a HER, calling her "girlfriend" and "goddess" and assuring her she was a beautiful soul inside.
And before either of us knew it, SHE came out as one of these transgender personalities born in the opposite body and hating it for 23 years until finally confronting this and deciding to let it go and start over.
Now this is one of my happier friends who truly did find liberation by making the transition and deciding to express and live as female. And not live a lie trying to act male if that just DIDN'T FIT personality wise.
I have another friend who is transgender who feels terribly alienated and betrayed by society, and is hurt and insulted when called by the opposite pronoun etc. This friend is happier being called a monster by Christians than trying to deal with someone like me who doesn't see either side of the LGBT issues "as being monsters". Sometimes it's easier to demonize people and rationalize the hostility than it is to make peace.
So if you look at what
Joanimaroni said, this is very fair and including some of what both sides feel about this. This is on the side of bridging the gap in understanding in order to make peace with these issues.
Not stupid at all
Rustic but shows a greater understanding of how deep these issues really go. I disagree with you and think the opposite!
