What? Public Transgenderism!

(Response to the Sub today)

Just today we noticed an article in a prominent magazine that we should have you read. This is why I think of it!

We just saw a series of photos in the leading news magazine in the country (of America) called “Time.” I had just cancelled my subscription. Although it is a good, even excellent, news source, it was and is so liberal. So much so that it virtually made me sick to see and read the contents.

I notified them that their magazine is utterly worldly, evil, and liberal. In what might be the last issue that they sent to me, there was a 11-12 page article entitled, “We Aren’t Going Anywhere.” Amazingly, this was a   page article (pages 56 to 67) that seemed to be promoting “transgenderism.” Sadly, we know that this sexual aberration is surely the “laughingstock” of much of the world. It really makes one ashamed to be an American at a time like this.

According to our statistics, there are perhaps 1.6 million of such people in the United States, with a population of about 350 million. This would be about one in 200-250 persons. And yet this magazine (that probably many of us have heard of in America) has devoted all of these pages to a sexual perversion that is represented by such a small number! And keep in mind that some 71 countries even disapprove of sodomy with many more (perhaps the majority) denouncing so-called “transgenderism.” Keep in mind too that many of those who identify with this perversion and even have some kind of physical surgery later regret this decision!

Keep in mind too that of the 1.6 million “transgender” people (most of them are young), there is massive lying.

And keep in mind also that all unrepentant liars will spend eternity in hell (Revelation 21:8). When we say lying, we are referring to those (and this would include nearly all of them) girls who say they are boys and boys who say they are girls. Not only are they deceived, and perverted, but lying to others as well.

Sadly, we must observe that not only are the boys and girls (or the men and women) lying but they surely must get into “hot water” themselves. We know that sodomy and other sexual perversions are wrong and perverse, but this is one that not only is perverse but also is problematic. For instance, on page 59 there is a boy/man dressed like a woman. I formerly would say that a boy “thinks” that he is a woman, but he does know better. He knows that he is a man—not a woman. So he doesn’t just “think” that he is a woman but he is a man who claims that he is a girl!

And, sadly, we would say that every doctor who performs a surgery on a young person to alter the body of such a boy or girl is sinful and wrong. Don’t I remember that every person who becomes a physician makes a statement that he or she will not harm the “patient”? Further, we must say that every father or mother who “helps” his or her son or daughter to commit this sin is also guilty of it. Further, every teacher who “aids and abets” such a sin and even encourages it, is also guilty before God.

We have noticed also that a boy or girl is not called by a normal name (such as Sue or Mary or Bob or Bill) but by a strange and unusual names—if they can be called names.

Thus, we must observe that there is massive lying and wickedness involved in this sin. Sadly, this is a well-known news magazine that apparently supports this perversion. Surely, dozens of countries of the world not only would condemn such a bizarre practice but even execute the perpetrators! Also, sadly, we must also point out that now (at least in public secular venues) it is “wrong” and “unlawful” to call a person by his or her rightful gender but they say that we must use the deceptive and wrong appellation that such a person prefers. Selah!

Just today, in the article we have mentioned above, we notice the comments from one person interviewed. This is a boy who claims to be female. The name appears to be made up or perhaps comes from another country, but we won’t even mention it. This is what he says. Now, keep in mind that this is a well-known magazine, thus they use the opposite gender in their terms: “She [and apparently this is actually a boy] says that the platform has been a haven.” He [or “she”] “talks about her trans experience” and “discusses beauty and makeup, and works to combat stereotypes.” He [or “she”] says, “My goal is to make sure people’s voices are heard. . . . It’s OK to come out. Its Ok to be yourself.”

Notice several matters here. First, notice that he claims that this online platform is a “haven.” In other words, it enables the boy or girl to use a different gender than he or she is in reality. Further, keep in mind that God does want “stereotypes” and doesn’t want us to change our gender. If he has made a man a man and a woman a woman (Genesis 1:26-26), we must continue with this and not change it. Further, from a Christian standpoint, it is not “okay” to “come out” (if they mean by this that they want to portray a perversion publicly)! Yes, it is okay to be “yourself” but it is not okay to sin in any form! It is not “okay” for a boy to portray himself as a girl or a girl to portray herself as a boy! We must never, never, never lie (Proverbs 12:22; Revelation 21:8; 22:15). We must be content and rejoice in the sex that God our Creator has given or made us—rather than what we may claim to be.

As we go to the next page, we see an interview with young people dancing in San Antonio, Texas. It refers to a “prom” specifically designed for perverted teens. One person likes the “sense of community” that he or she finds in this venue. “There is no judgment” says the perverted person. Yes, we can applaud a sense of “community” but this is something that God intends for people to find among God’s people—not in immoral dancing! Further, God wants us to “judge” those in sin—those who deserve to be “judged” for their sin (cf. John 7:24; 1 Corinthians 6:1-8; Hebrews 13:4).

We find a revealing map on pages 66-67 that shows where in the country we find more perversion and more restrictions. This is quite revealing! We assume that this map does show more wickedness in certain areas of the nation and more righteousness in others. We know that this is not a total portrayal at all but it does make a point. For instance, the map refers to “gender identity policies” and says that the given map “taken together” will “protect or restrict the rights of trans and gender-expansive people.” Whatever this means, we don’t know, but we do know that God (our Creator and the Creator of our sex) gives no “rights” to anyone at all! We are never given the “right” to sin, period.

And, according to this map and the accompanying article this is referring to “trans” (which means a boy or wants us to believe that he is a girl and vice versa) as well as another category that we’ve never heard before—the “gender-expansive people.” We assume that this means people who are perverted in some way—people who want to be the opposite sex—the way that God has created us.

As for the author, I have no idea who “Madeleine” is nor who is responsible for the photographs—“Annie Flanagan.” But whether they have bought into a deceptive situation or whether they are utterly deceived themselves or what, we don’t really know. We just know that this article does show that this nation (although it may have had some sort of religious foundations) is on the way down. By this, I mean way down! This world and every person in it will one day pass away (1 John 2:15-17). Are we prepared?
