Dear Pip,
When I studied psychiatry & psychology for nurses, 1 of the 1st lessons was to never support a delusion; always counter it with truth. I also studied anatomy& physiology, including sexual development. The ancient Jews, unfortunately mistook developmental anomalies for somehow “different” sexes, because they had no access to DNA, as we do today. There are anomalies, but the bottom line is that our DNA, from conception, determines what sex we are, & causes the appropriate genitalia to develop. Even hermaphrodites, who seem to have both sets of genitals, have only 1 functional set, corresponding to their XX or XY DNA. Other health issues can make it appear 1 is something “in between” or different than your external genitals, but the DNA is the “bottom line” in that business, certainly not learned behavioral disorders, or other health issues, such as adrenal or thyroid malfunctions.
Gender is a linguistic tool which assigns sexual traits to inanimate objects, but it’s still the binary of masculine or feminine; we humans simply do not have genders. Supporting a delusion helps no one, least of all the 1 suffering that delusion. Until someone presents sound science to countermand what I learned before the mass psychosis took hold of our society, & what the Bible tells me, that is in accord with the science I learned, I will continue to think & operate in that truth with respect to sex & gender. You, naturally are free to believe as you wish; that’s what free will is about. No one, however, is free to require me to believe & celebrate lies.
That said, I can, & do, separate the behaviors from the person, & love the person, although some make that a very difficult task…
What is being done to children these days, amounts to child sexual abuse, THE WORST possible crime 1 human can commit against another. A murdered child doesn’t have to try to live the rest of his life with the damage done by a sexual abuser…
Every child who survives sexual abuse has received a”life sentence”. I have never met a fellow survivor who doesn’t carry scars, even after therapy, & I’ve also never met 1 our Lord chose to miraculously heal, so I honestly can’t say whether they also still have scars, but as a nurse, I know where injury has occurred, scars form as part of healing, whether the injury is physical or psychological. I also know, both professionally & experientially, the psychological damage is the most difficult to heal. These children are being damaged for life, even if they don’t succumb to the pressures to believe they are other than what our God made them to be. I can’t imagine a more diabolic evil to perpetrate on an innocent child!
