I have known three people who are both male and female. One I went to school with. One my son went to school with. And one was a baby girl we met in 1981 with her parents. There are transgendered people who are born that way. Has nothing to do with End Times. The one who is my age, they left the male parts on her, but she looked like a girl and dressed like a girl. Maybe back then they didn’t know how to FIX it. The other two, one my son went to school with, they chose to make her into a girl and it was NOT the right decision, she looks like a husky boy. The third one, they were going to wait till she hit puberty to decide if she was more male or more female. It wasn’t obvious yet which way that one would go. So this happens, it is a birth defect. And these people need love too.
That is what doctors call intersex, which is very different from what this woman did. One is a birth defect, the other is a mental illness.
Hermaphrodites are indeed folks who have a birth defect, and thank goodness for medical science to help repair it.
The transgendered have all the normal parts of their birth sex, they just 'feel' as if they are of the opposite sex. It is a mental disorder that has been encouraged by the lack of sexual norms and members of the psychiatric profession who should have known better.
I know a number of transgendered people, all male-to-female as it happens. They are deeply disturbed individuals, and surgery does not cure their problems. It just makes them worse. The suicide rate among post-surgery transsexuals is astonishingly high -- higher than those who do not have the surgery.
