1). His statement referred to homosexuals, he did not specify lesbians.
2). In any case, sexual orientation and gender dysphoria are two separate issues.

3). I find it unlikely that is anything but a minority of persons who transition.

1). The use of those two words is only to differentiate between the sexes, (Male, Female).
But sex between two humans of the same sex is at best dysfunctional, and at worst twisted.
Both being Homosexual.

2). Do you understand the difference between, sexual orientation, and dysphoria?

3). I believe you are correct, as to a minority Transitioning, while the remaining 90% just use Hormone Therapy in order to gain the upper part of the woman they say they desire to become, while keeping the lower part of the man which enables them to attain a greater variety of sexual encounters, for you see, Transitioning isn't really about what they emotionally feel like, the majority of the time, it's ONLY about SEX.
Because like you said, the majority never do Transition.
Which keeps them in the category of Homosexual until they do Transition.
Therefore the use of any Personal Pronoun they would prefer, is not valid and they have no standing to be called what they want to be called, while the ones who do actually do Transition, are delusional if they believe they have achieved the impossible.

By the way, many who do Transition, regret it later on in their life.

Well then please explain then how one of these 387,843 to the 47th power "genders" can magically transform a biological man into a biological woman to the point where a fully-intact biological man is entitled to hang out in women's dressing rooms and be on their sports teams, among many other things.

Why would I explain something no one is claiming? That you can create a straw man does not require us to answer it. No one is claiming a magical biological transformation.

And you do realize it's going to get worse the more they radicalize and attempt to continue to lie about their biology and force people into lockstep with their false ideologies? I'm not saying that they deserve to be abused or killed, but when you're biologically a man pretending to be a woman and and go out on a date with a man who doesn't know you're a man, what do you think is going to happen if you get into sexual situation and he's a straight man suddenly finding out that you're really a man and not a woman? Don't say it doesn't happen because it does.

It's funny that one of the links at the bottom of that article led to another study by Cornell University on math ability between the sexes found no difference in the brains of boys and girls.

But it still comes back to the reality that a brain pattern does not and cannot magically transform a man into a woman or a woman into a man. It's simply not biologically possible. Men and women have different skeletal structures, men have larger heart and lung capacities, muscular differences, genetic differences, and other differences that no amount of hormones and surgeries can change. Even the most "passing" man who is claiming to be a woman is still only a stereotypical caricature of a biological woman. They simply are not the SAME regardless of how much trans-radical ideology attempts to indoctrinate us all into thinking as such.

The Father of Lies isn't God but Satan. It's not love to pretend to a lie and especially when pretending to such a lie that a man can actually become a woman and vice versa is dangerous to the point of being life-threatening to actual women. Where is the love there? Are women once again to be abused and even raped and killed simply to accommodate all the men who are now (because of their "feelings") attempting to have full and legal access to their dressing rooms, bathrooms, shelters, prisons, and sports. Are parents not allowed to protect their daughters from rape and abuse from "gender confused" individuals in their school bathrooms. (Check out what has gone on lately with Loudon County in VA as parents are getting charged with being "domestic terrorists" because their own daughter was raped by a boy in a dress and the school board was more worried about his feelings even as he later went on to rape another girl elsewhere.)

Maybe you need to go watch a videos from Blair White, who is a passing trans woman and who also disagrees with the idea that a trans woman is the same as a biological womAn. She gets hate, abuse, and death threats too from the trans-radicals because she also understands biological reality.

No matter how many times you proclaim it to be a lie it will not become one. Transgender people have a biological foundation for why they are the way they are. That you are so incapable of finding any empathy for what they are going through is a said testament to how you approach your fellow human beings.

The term homosexual is used for both male and female.

Yes, I do understand the difference between sexual orientation and gender dysphoria.

No, I was not stating that only a minority transition. I was stating at best a minority transition because of some idea that it is more shameful to be gay.

Surgery is an option for those who transition but it is not a requirement. Individuals have their own individual reasons why they will go through with surgery or not. It is also separate from who they are attracted to and does not define if they are gay or straight.

Yes, they do. It's a mental illness called gender dysphoria. However transgender people do not have a biological foundation for claiming that they are biologically something they are not.

The boy who told the emperor he had no clothes had far more empathy than the mob who kept telling him lies.

You cannot use that comment as your rebuttal, because it automatically negates everything you have put forward as an argument, ie, lack of credentials.

What does the Bible say?

Deuteronomy 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Hypothetical: Mental illness or sin, or both? What about delusion?

Is mental illness to identify as a member of the opposite sex?
- Is it also mental illness to participate the lie and defend the claims of the mentally ill?
Is it sin to identify as a member of the opposite sex and take on the attributes described as abominations in scripture?
- Is it a sin to participate in the lie that is the sin and defend the claims of the sinful?
  - Is there a mass delusion that God has sent because of sin?

Who was the first expert and where did that expert get his/her credentials? Expertise comes with experience and time spent working in your chosen field. Education is just a jumping off point to much greater learning through doing. None of which preclude intelligent people from coming to informed, reasonable conclusions on any subject.

Yes, since it is not following the science. It is using a basic understanding of science as an excuse to ignore what researchers are finding which is that the brain structure, which determines gender, is different then their sex.

Sex is determined at birth based on Chromosomes, gonads and anatomy.

Gender is based on social structure -

Gender is a multi-faceted social system. Gender is largely based on society and culture. There are some consistencies, but it can be concluded that gender is not predetermined based on sex.

Gender therefore is fluid and based on social systems, not science.

Can you fully explain what a "gender" actually is and how a "male gender" differs from a "female gender" if it has nothing to do with a person's biological sex? No one has ever been able to do that before without falling into the stereotypes of "women like pink things" and "men like to wear no pants while watching sports" so I'm really curious as to what has been concocted concerning "gender" this time around.

What actually makes someone a woman if not her female biology? And if a woman isn't actually a woman anymore because a man is now a woman, then what is she?

I prefer to judge my government officials on how they perform in their job not by what they wear, how they identify, or their most recent surgery.

Aldebaran said:
How they dress, their perception of reality, and genital mutilating surgeries based on a twisted view of reality says much about how they will perform in a job that requires an accurate view of reality. If you don't believe me, try going to a job interview dressed like a slob, and start spouting off a bunch of nonsense to the employer. Let me know how that works out.

Perhaps you're right. I remember an official who wore a red trucker's hat with a suit, didn't know your tie is supposed to end at your belt buckle, and spouted all kinds of nonsense. He'd have been laughed at in most interviews, too.

From the link:

Gender, on the other hand, involves how a person identifies. Unlike natal sex, gender is not made up of binary forms. Instead, gender is a broad spectrum. A person may identify at any point within this spectrum or outside of it entirely.

People may identify with genders that are different from their natal sex or with none at all. These identities may include transgender, nonbinary, or gender-neutral. There are many other ways in which a person may define their own gender.

Please note: Gender is NOT based on science, but how an individual identifies themselves as any point in their life. They might identify as male today and six months from now identify as female.

That is NOT science.

Since you asked me about credentials, I thought you'd appreciate the credentials of the person who reviewed the article you posted a link to:

Emelia Arquilla, DO

As if no bias would exist with a person who clearly favors this type of thing.

Do you possess the credentials by which you are able to critique their findings as valid, or are you using those findings as nothing more than the ones you agree with, which means it's comes down to your opinion once again.

Wow. Deep. Next you will tell me Christians are the ones who review liturgical texts.
