God made me transgendered

I read your story. I think it is great that you have learned to overcome your homosexuality, and great that you acknowledge God's righteous judgment of the sin. What is sad is that you claim therapists offer more than God. That's too bad, but I believe it is because there is some comfort in blaming circumstances rather than accepting your own human depravity. You can examine the reasons the therapist gives all you like, but they are all rooted in sin -- not everyone with those same experiences end up the same way. I am not unsympathetic to your hardships, disappointments and sensitivities. But truth is truth and sinful acts are the product of a sinful heart. Everyone in the world is wronged by others because we are all sinners. That gives us no excuse. Sin is sin. It is a fact that child abusers are largely products of child abuse. But that gives them no excuse, and the drive to abuse is itself sin. Many emerge from abusive childhoods having learned great lessons from the adversity. Those who can't forgive, who are bitter and angry, tend to turn into abusers themselves.

Therapists only think they are God. Don't believe them. Only God can transform the heart, and the key is in contrition, admitting your guilt with repentance and faith. Beware lest you change your behavior but fail to surrender your heart to the Lordship of Christ. You might become more moral and still fall short of saving faith. You must address the sinfulness of your heart, just like all sinners of all stripes.

Wake up folks. Major homosexual agenda alert of the worst kind possible!!! No one seems to be catching it. There is dangerous and harmful information is this thread.

The post by ZoeB is filled with lies. There is no evidence that people who claim to be "transsexual" are any more psychologically adjusted after the surgery than beforehand. That is why Johns Hopkins, the pioneering institution of sex change surgery, will no longer perform this type of surgery. This surgery is barbaric and should be outlawed. Please do not allow these lies to be published on this website as people will be misled and the outcome is tragic!

It would appear that ZoeB was zotted. I initially felt red flags go up when reading the posts in question but had not enough time to thoroughly review and comment upon the substance of the posts.

My initial reaction was ungood; however, I was unsure as to just where truth left off and propaganda began. As such, I was going to at first attempt to understand before attempting to be understood.

It is my understanding that there are transsexuals (human beings possessing some physical identifiable aspects of both male and female). It is also my understanding that unlike the transsexual, a transgender is but a psychological construct with no innate physical basis -a construct premised in self-declared feelings similar to the "sexual orientation" construct.

I might add that if my understanding of the differences is correct that understanding and knowing the differences is important if one wishes to maintain a legitimate position in opposing the homosexualization of society while at the same time helping those that suffer -whether they suffer from a psychological disorder (transgender & homosexual orientation) or whether they suffer from a physical disorder (transsexual).

From my experience it is primarily the transgender & homosexual orientation crowds that promote and support the homosexualization of society while the transsexual crowd on the other hand seems be less culpable in regard to promoting and supporting the homosexualization of society. I would wager that the actual objectively observable plight of transsexuals in general is being exploited by homosexual activists. I myself, would not be surprised to find a transsexual to be a potential ally in opposition to homosexualization of society...

SoulMan, definitely cut to the chase and pointed out the propaganda -regardless, the propaganda posted, I myself had not decided yet from what perspective ZoeB was coming from -maybe ZoeB was fooled into buying what we know is false -who knows?.

Please post your thoughts & correct me where I am in error... This is one area of the issue that I have much room to gain understanding in.

Stole him! He looks like he's eating something neon violet!

If he wasn't red he would remind me of the horned toads when I was growing up!

Quoting Jesus concerning gender?

Absurd.

Jesus pretty much pissed off a few of the Law scholars of his time when he spoke about the fact that the Laws of Genesis transcended the Law of Moses.

"Made them male and female" Matth.19:4...!

What else might one expect from a mentally disturbed person anyhow?

That blue bit is a reason I like it.

I like to think it's eating a little blue planet.

God made me transgendered

OK. But do we have to hear about it?

God made a lot of people with deformities, birth defects, mental problems, etc. Let's test your DNA and see if you're a man or a woman. Then we'll know what your body should look like. If, as I suspect, it is a mental problem, then you should seek appropriate treatment. However, you and the rest of the queer nation militants have eliminated all psychiatric treatment for such disorders. I'll feel sorry for you, but I won't let you pretend that your mental illness is anything but.
