Okay, are ya'll ready for this?
I think some of the opposition to what I've said has a common thread to it, and its clear many people have taken sides, if you will. Its a test of compassion and what it means to be compassionate. In essence, its how we respond, our interpretation of compassion. A common question or argument as some have demonstrated here is, "does it really matter, what harm is being done?" It is a familiar sentiment...it takes me to the very beginning of the scripture...the fall. Remember it was an apple that looked good and pleasing for Eve to eat, it appeared "good" and Satan was there to affirm its goodness by questioning Gods commandments to stay away from it. I am afraid some of you may be greatly deceived, things that appear "good" or harmless to you are in fact gravely harmful.
Keep in mind, this argument does not include people born with rare intersex conditions, they are THE ONLY humans who actually have a leg to stand on in confusion about their gender because they actually have a medical discrepancy in their genetic makeup.
So lets dissect , think and just marinate on this for awhile. There are two responses to a man or woman who claims to be "transgender". #1- to acknowledge what is true, and #2 to become an accomplice to delusion. I'm going to argue that becoming an accomplice to delusion actually creates a more delusional society, brings us farther away from truth (Jesus) and does harm to both the delusional individual and society as a whole. On the bright side, stars shine more brightly in darkness, and its this time that people on the fence are noticing. Don't mistake darkness for light. There are ample warnings of this in Gods Word, Satan himself disguises himself as an angel of light and the bible says his deceived followers will also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Do not be deceived, do not be an accomplice to delusion!
If you are a man who wants to wear womens clothing...you are not a woman...you are simply a man who wants to wear womens clothing which is crossdressing. I often hear people say "I just want to be myself" before dying their hair away from their natural color, or wanting to change their gender. Its an odd claim since by doing these things one is actually running away from being yourself. You are naturally a man, but you reject yourself and seek to transform to something you are not. "Being yourself" doesn't require hormones, plastic surgery, and transformation. Being yourself is just that,..... being yourself. Altering your body through plastic surgery and cross dressing then telling people you are female when you are not is deception. Here are a few ways this is harmful to society:
1. Dating- people can present themselves as something they aren't. That is deception and often leads to horrific situations for the deceived deceiver who could end up in disastrous harm in a sinful world. Ive read story after story of men representing themselves as women to heterosexual men as prostitutes or lovers, when the heterosexual man discovers the truth, grave harm befalls the deceiver. That is horrific. Telling a delusional person they are a woman because of their physical alterations encourages them to present themselves as women to sinful men and leads to horrifying consequences and tragedy. Tell the truth.
2. With current trends in ideology, there are penalty's now for telling the truth. In NYC, an employer can be fined up to $250,000 for "willfully referring to a person by their actual biological gender". So If I'm an employer in NYC currently, and I don't go along with the delusion, I am financially penalized. That's harmful, that's wrong, and its a trend that will continue unless we stand for the truth instead of being accomplices to delusion.
3.The transgender movement aims to normalize the behaviors of crossdressers, transvestites, and drag queens Activists desire to deconstruct male and female identity and to push gender confusion onto children and parents and into the mainstream. But maleness and femaleness cannot be changed or created—these traits are tied to DNA. A man who undergoes hormone treatments and has his genitals removed does not alter his biological sex. Instead, he suffers from a mental disturbance that is the product of a troubled family life and requires psychiatric treatment.
These are deeply troubled individuals who need professional help, not societal approval or affirmation.
4. Surgeons are taking mentally deluded patients $$ to "transform" their bodies. They are castrating men, and giving men silicone implants.
5. Locker rooms and bathrooms are open to men masquerading as women. This means a grown man who identifies as a woman can expose himself in an open shower or open changing area at your local ymca. I use a gym where woman frequently change, I have a big problem with grown men in our locker rooms with young women. And some are saying that young girls who don't want to see men masquerading as woman or their penises in their locker rooms are intolerant, (says Chris Cuomo on mainstream CNN). That is absolutely insane.
6. Prisons- do we let men who claim to identify as women into the female prison system or vice versa? What could possibly go wrong?
7. Sports competitions by gender: Do we allow men to compete as women? What about the recent headline of a young girl who was pumped full of testosterone competing in wrestling matches against other girls?. Someone is pumping a young girl full of testosterone, which competitors use in cheating to gain advantages in competition. But not in this day and age. Delusion is affirmed and applauded, so anything goes, all other common sense out the window.
Consider the following situations:
1. 52 year old Canadian married father of seven,Stefonknee Wolscht, leaves wife and children and identifies as six year old girl. He dresses like a six year old girl, wears pigtails, the whole shebang. He clearly is not a 6 year old girl despite how he feels. He is delusional with a mental disorder that requires help.
2.White woman ,Nkechi Amare Diallo, formerly known as Rachel Dolezal , self identifies as African American. Goes tanning, gets a perm, checks boxes on applications and forms and deceives the public into believing she is an african american woman. She was president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) chapter in Spokane, Washington, from 2014 until June 15, 2015 all under the false pretense that was an African american which she self identifies as.
3.Nano from Norway, twenty something year old woman who self identifies as a cat and claims she was born into the wrong species. Straps on a tail, ears and paws, crawls around and hisses at dogs. This is absurd. Do you believe its compassionate to aid her in this delusion?
4. 56 year old man, Eva Tiamat Baphomet Medusa, formerly known as Richard Hernandez, believes he was born with both the wrong sex and species has transformed to a dragon lady by undergoing tooth extraction, eye coloring, horn implants, ear removal, nose modification, and an undoubtedly painful procedure to have a forked tongue. He was willing to attempt to physically destroy his humanity to complete his transformation. Guess what, hes still a man. Do you believe its compassionate to aid him in this delusion?
6. Vinney Ohh- twenty something year old man in California who has had more than 100 procedures transforming himself into a genderless extra terrestrial. Hes now looking to have his genitalia, nipples and belly button removed. Is it compassionate to go along with this?
Scores of men and women who do not identify as their biological sex and transition to another sex. It is biologically impossible to transition to another sex. You are merely a man with implants, who has self mutilated his genitals and gone through expensive lengths to become something they are just biologically not. That is delusion. The compassionate thing to do would be to help people embrace who they actually are.
If I thought my true identity was not my current form, but to live as a 100 pound blonde double D Dallas cowboys 27 year old cheerleader, that would be absurd. If I couldn't feel normal or happy, or "my true self" unless I physically altered my exterior body to become something that I am not, I would earnestly hope my friends would tell me I was delusional and pray for my mental health. Please tell me that I was made perfect by God, that no amount of plastic surgery or physical alteration would bring me happiness, only God alone will bring me joy. Tell me I should love myself as God loves me and see beauty in the distinct and unique way God created me. If you affirmed me in my delusional pursuit to alter my physical appearance to identify as a 100 pound blonde double D Dallas cowboys cheerleader, you are not a compassionate friend, you are an accomplice to delusion.
Now lets get back to what is and isn't compassion, which purveyors of delusions accuse those who tell the truth that they lack and need more of to join the rest of the worlds purveyors of deception...Compassion is defined by sympathetic consciousness of others' distress together with a desire to alleviate it. Again, I would argue that affirming mental illness, normalizing mental illness, aiding in falsities, especially in regards to young children is the opposite of compassion or alleviation of suffering. A person suffering from depression may believe their life is worthless and want to commit suicide to end their suffering. Is it compassionate to go along with their delusion?, or is it compassionate to tell them the truth? But herein lies the problem, affirming mental illness and delusion is an easy way out for us....yea go ahead ....whats the harm??!, do what you think is right, truth is relative after all! Who am I to judge that you're not a cat, a dragon, a black lady, a six year old girl? Affirming actual truth is increasingly becoming a criminal activity, because society has perverted and twisted what it means to be compassionate which is now going along with delusion because telling the truth is too mean.
When my twins were young, maybe three, they thought they were dinosaurs. I played along for fun, they eventually grew out of the phase. I didn't affirm them or aid them into their physical transition to dinosaurs, their "true identity". I recognized the behavior as normal imaginary child play. If they truly still believed they were dinosaurs as teenagers, we'd have a different problem. Believing you are a dinosaur as a teenage boy is not healthy, its delusional. For me to approve and affirm such an identity would be nonsensical, but in today's society, who am I to judge and restrict teenage boys into expressing their true dinosaur selves? What compassion I lack!
I have a friend who has a four year old grandson. He lost his mother to drug overdose, the family is quite broken with several problems and refuses to turn to Christ for healing. The grandson mostly hangs out with grandma and other women in the family, no men. grandma is a lively full of life kinda lady who wears alot of makeup and dresses. She is a major influence on her grandson, he adores her!. The boy likes to try on her highheels and put makeup on with her. This is pretty typical normal behavior for a four year old boy, modeling the people in his life around him. Although Grandma now thinks he may be transgender and is wondering what steps she might take to help him transition...at four.years.old! This is the effect of the trend in normalizing cross dressing and transgenderism in society today. Grandma doesn't see this as imaginary normal play in a child, she wants to aid him in his transition. This absolutely breaks my heart.
My daughter had a friend in high school who identified as a boy. She was a beautiful girl who had serious trauma and abuse as a child that resulted in some pretty significant delusions. She suffered from multiple personality disorder and identified as a gender she wasn't. She needed help, she needed Christ, she didn't need people to affirm her delusions. That is the opposite of compassion, that is a weak way out of compassion.
So lets talk about compassion in aiding delusion....because again, "whats the harm?". What do you think? Selah.
Now I'll tell you what I think. Compassion and love is telling the truth , bringing delusional people back to sound mind. Its not easy to say things that are hard, its not easy to be confrontational, its not comfortable or popular, and today it brings accusations of bigotry, small mindedness, and hatred. I've tried many things to alleviate suffering in my life, one thing changed everything. One thing brought wholeness and healing, its the gospel, This is why I'm an advocate of Christ, God, Elohim, the Word of God, truth....a souled out believer. There is a reason Jesus said "I am THE way, THE Truth, The life". I believe Him. I will be compassionate by telling you the truth, that's what God has called me to do. That's love, that's compassion, Jesus is the ultimate alleviation from sin that grips us, harms us, and separates us from God. I will not aid people in delusions and deception. That's Satans' job.
Actually, as I'm writing this I have to laugh at the absurdity that I'm even having this discussion. Is this really where we are today? Are we truly this deluded and far from the truth? That people who tell the truth are cast as evil and those who affirm delusion are the compassionate ones? scripture comes to mind
"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions" 2 Timothy 4:3
“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20).
Now watch this and tell me if this is compassion? They accuse those who call him a boy of blind ignorance, he is a boy....and wearing makeup and girly clothes does not change that. He is a crossdresser, simple truth.
