I'm so sorry you have to put up with this. I offer you e-hugs, although I know it won't fix things.
Well... many transgender people found support in Albany NY where a (very) long running support group began in the mid 50's.. ending in the early 80's when the primary founder was turning 70. The group reformed and continued until about 8 years ago, I'm not sure if the members became part of the Pride Center or continue in a less official capacity independently. (The Pride Center itself has been in continuous existence since 1970)
If over 40% of gender non conforming people reported at least one attempted suicide in 2011 (study of 6400 people) One could reasonably wonder how many people succeeded in their attempts, and how many of those transgender persons who died had the fact that they were transgender hidden by family member after their deaths.
People didn't just suddenly decide 10 years ago that being transgender was "a thing". The people on this board who are transgender don't sound like they suddenly got an earful of some liberal/progressive agenda and decide they didn't like the gender reported on their birth certificate. So where were they all a couple decades ago? Those who are more than a couple decades old ere probably struggling with the body in the mirror that didn't match the one in their head.. and looking for support that wasn't always there.
Personally I don't think one has to "promote", understand or even support the idea of being transgender to step back and allow people to work with their medical providers to determine the treatment they need to be healthy.
You have no right to say that. None. You do not own the internet. You do not own the internet, you do not own "religious sites," and you don't even own this religious forum. Furthermore, your incredibly offensive, mean-spirited, and cruel remarks are not excused by the terrible offense of trans-people existing in the same webspace as you.Then tell alleged transgender people to stop posting on religious sites.
None of this is even meaningful, so I won't comment on it.Can't even take accountability for that, like they're not here to tempt the spirits. Like they think most Christians accept them as okay and will deal with them telling lies about God' natural order.
And as I said, complete and utter emotional perpetuation.
When all else fails_
It's like an infallible machine that transforms to anything that comes at it.
That's what lies usually consist of.

What you are doing is intentionally hurtful and cruel and it disregards Christianity's self proclaimed greatest commandment: To love God, and then to love your neighbor as you love yourself. What you are doing now isn't loving in any sense of the word. What you are doing is hateful.

I feel a thread-closing coming on any time now.
God is more believable then a woman being born in a man's body.
"Transgender" is just another sick twisted idea born of a debased perverted society.

If a psychiatrist says there is no evidence- not in some fanaticism or rebellion against the field, but in plain recognizance and in front of all other psychiatrists- then there is no evidence.
You all keep falling back on this 'years of education/medical science/etc etc' as if it's supposed to mean something.

God spoke harshly about certain kinds of things. If someone pretends to be something else and then engages in those things, I'm not sure if its love to condone those unnatural acts.
Maybe warning them to stop it and not accepting it is more loving than it would be to smile quietly as they skip off into the consequences of mortal sin.
Transsexuals aren't pretending to be anything; it's not a performance (that would be what is called drag).
Mortal sin? Are you Roman Catholic? Your understand of how salvation works is definitely not Protestant- we can't lose our salvation through sinning (since each of us sins daily), only through faithlessness. If somebody is trying to be faithful to God, yet nonetheless feels they must transition their gender... who are you to judge? It's this whole addicted-to-judgement attitude that Jesus condemned.
From what I understand, its physical mutilation and performance. It would be like if a person decided to have their arms and legs surgically removed and demanded to be called a box.
I think mortal sin is apt to describe doing things that God has expressly forbidden according to what the Bible seems to say. I could be wrong though. These days we seem to have more and more illuminated interpretations of scripture.
Salvation is not a get out of jail pass for unrepentant sin. It doesn't work like that, even though its hip to think that way these latter days.
I'm not addressing anything until someone can explain to me that someone telling me a man is really a woman is any different than calling a rat a puppy such as in this video:
Seriously, I can't wrap my head around it. Watch the video.
