Why are you so insistent that what determines what someone is is what's in their pants, not what's in their heads?You are trying to be something you are not. Pride is common sin that blind people of their own sin.
Who died and left you "arbiter who knows people better than they do"?Often I can tell when people is trying to act like someone they are not.
not sure why you would ask me that since I have repeatedly stated what I am offended by when it comes to trying to redefine words, words like man and woman, mistake and sin, righteous and unrighteous, etc. Our current society is so far removed from truth that we insist on people redefining words to accommodate our sensual, sinful desires, then get offended when someone calls us on it. Marriage has been redefined, murder, etc. etc. etc. and redefining words, is truly offensive in my opinion, not just a feigned offensive so that I can gain political ground.*SMH* same question to you, then. What, specifically, has been "redefined" here?
I'll take that as an admission you can't actually point to anything that's been redefined. You could have just said that.not sure why you would ask me that since I have repeatedly stated what I am offended by when it comes to trying to redefine words, words like man and woman, mistake and sin, righteous and unrighteous, etc. Our current society is so far removed from truth that we insist on people redefining words to accommodate our sensual, sinful desires, then get offended when someone calls us on it.

who we are, that is the core of our being, who we are when we strip away everything else, is neither male nor female, we know this from society as well as scripture. For example, society (for the moment remove scripture) teaches that we should look at the heart not the outer appearance. We hear people all the time testify to looking in the mirror and seeing someone different than they "feel" inside. For example, the anorexic "feels" fat even when they look in the mirror and see skin and bones. The old person feels young still, but the mirror tells them this is not the case. The list goes on and on and society recognizes this discrepancy by teaching that the outward appearance isn't always the truth of who we are inside. Now, the transgender can argue (notice I am playing devils advocate here for a reason) that that is what they are experiencing, that the inner doesn't align with the outer, but what I am telling you is that that is a backwards way of seeing this truth revealed in the transgenders life. Instead of saying, I don't feel the sex I was born, the transgender needs to look at who they are when all those outward signs are stripped away and see who they are without gender, without age, without weight because all those things are external and not internal at all. You see, you are not the sum total of what your body looks like or feels like, rather you are the sum total of who you are despite what your body tells you you are. In fact, unless or until we understand this concept, we can and often do harm our bodies to try to achieve our idea of perfection, when true perfection is within, not without....and how does that address the question?
All sounds good. But if true, still unsure why you're so hung up on what someone has in their pants. Sounds like it should he a non issue.who we are, that is the core of our being, who we are when we strip away everything else, is neither male nor female, we know this from society as well as scripture.

Because God is the God of law and order. God doesn't like hypocrisy ... pretending to be something you are not.
Gender Dysphoria is just a make-up word to avoid calling it sin... rebellion against God. It's same when people tries to justify murdering babies (shedding innocent blood) in the womb by called it a fetus which means child in Latin.
We live in a society that totally deny man is a sinner and will call man's sin everything in the book but sin.
I have been doing a lot of research into this question and though it was not directed at me, let me offer my understanding here.But that wasn't the question. The question was "explain what is sinful about being gender dysphoric" want a discussion? Answer the question you were asked, not some imaginary question you wish you were asked.
wow, I specify several words that we have redefined and this is your response...I'll take that as your admission that you are wrong and too ashamed of being wrong to address the postl.I'll take that as an admission you can't actually point to anything that's been redefined. You could have just said that.
question 1. What makes you think I am hung up on what is in someones pants? Question 2. What are you even talking about? The OP is asking the question about transgender sexuality as such, it is important to understand something about the sexual organs involved, it's just how that discussion works. geesh.All sounds good. But if true, still unsure why you're so hung up on what someone has in their pants. Sounds like it should he a non issue.
Wait a moment, the brain is part of the body, here you want to separate them, why? What do you gain? And while we are paused waiting for you to find the bravery to try to answer these questions, why do you keep asking about why people are concerned with what is in someones pants when that is the pivotal point of this thread?Why are you so insistent that what determines what someone is is what's in their pants, not what's in their heads?
Maybe let's try something else *sigh* Imagine, if you will, being in a terrible car accident that kills your body. Medical technology being wonderful, the excellent doctors manage to extract your brain an put in a conveniently to hand doner body. The donor body, however, is female. It's the same brain you've always had. You feel exactly the same you as the "you" you are now. Now, answer the simple question, are you male or female?
wow, you are so determined to pretend you are right on this that you don't even respond to what I said and think that is wise?! How sad. again, your trying to hard to prove something you can't, since the definitions in question were male and female, not all these other things you are bringing into the discussion like they were what was in question. You see, we are talking about common society terms in this part of this discussion, yet you pretend that that isn't what the discussion is about. You claimed that the word male had multiple meanings, but fail to even present one, much less multiple. The same is true for female, in fact, you instead purpose to change the topic and pretend I am the one who is wrong on this matter. It's really kind of funny how hard you are trying to pretend you are right when you have clearly shown yourself to be wrong.
Often I can tell when people is trying to act like someone they are not.
You are trying to be something you are not. Pride is common sin that blind people of their own sin.
Often it's very easily to spot a man trying to act and talk like a woman.
If a man want to live a lie and pretend he is a woman is one thing but trying to force everyone to believe in his lie is completely another.Who died and left you "arbiter who knows people better than they do"?
Um, none of the words you cited had anything to do with transgenderism. Feel free to try again.wow, I specify several words that we have redefined and this is your response...I'll take that as your admission that you are wrong and too ashamed of being wrong to address the postl.
I will take that as an admission that you were wrong and I was right since you still have not addressed the issue I brought up about redefining words, and the words I refuse to redefine.Lol. I see no point in trying to discuss with you further when this is the response I get.
wow!!!! All of them did...but hey, if we can pretend that men are women and women are men, we can pretend that word meanings like man and woman have no definate meaning.Um, none of the words you cited had anything to do with transgenderism. Feel free to try again.
I will take that as an admission that you were wrong and I was right since you still have not addressed the issue I brought up about redefining words, and the words I refuse to redefine.
