Speaking of which...TRANSGENDERED?
 
Anyone seen the new thing...now that the homosexual agenda is firmly planted in our society, 20/20 is now bringing a program tonight on transgendered children. Shall we accept yet another form of propaganda which takes what God has created, both male and female, and have the audacity to say that God had a genetic mistake when he made us?

I feel, at times, that I was born into the twilight zone...Come Quickly Lord Jesus!:preach

Unlike Brad who thinks I am judgemental...I know what the scripture says to be sin and it don't matter what we think or feel...NO SIN will enter heaven. And as the scripture declares...many of those who call him Lord will not enter, and he will say, "Depart from me I never knew you".

I personally think all this is a sign of the times and those of us who have the truth need to be well able to defend it and stand for it no matter what the cost.

Sincerely, Rhoni

Rhoni, what do you mean by 'transgendered' and what is the propaganda that 20/20 is putting forth?

I hate to get involved in yet another forum but I will say this. Even I do not completely understand the transgendered issue. There is a part of me that struggles with wrapping my brain around it to be quite honest. I suppose the fact that I have not experienced this kind of feeling means that I likely will never truly understand it.

I think my main problem with the transgendered issue is the fact that it usually leads to mutilation of the individuals genitals via sex reassignment surgery. Something about that seems beyond what God would want His children to go through. On the other hand, I have been homosexual since as far back as I can remember and get extremely frustrated when people suggest that it's a choice and judge me out of fear or lack of understanding.

It is for this reason that I am open to at least hearing what the transgendered community has to say about their "disorder." Part of me thinks that it is an extreme reaction to an underlying homosexual orientation and that with proper therapy the transgendered individual could learn to live as they are with the genitalia they were born with. I'll have to try and catch the 20/20 episode tonight.

I would like to respond to Rhoni’s comment about this being some kind of homosexual agenda. I can tell you as an open homosexual who is very much involved with both the political and religious aspects surrounding homosexuality that the “homosexuality community” is not conspiring against the straight community in any way shape or form. The community certainly is not creating this sort of transgendered issue with children as some sort of evil conspiracy.

The boys who although physically they are male think they are female inside, and vica versa. The soaps and the talk shows are becoming inundated with this. People are going through sex change operations to become a different sex than what they were born.

What amazes me about this is that your fellow "mental health professionals" seem to think that the only way to correct this disorder is to change the body to match the disordered thinking. What about changing the disordered thinking?

I think you misread my post...let me post it again...

While like the homosexual community in that it has an agenda...it is separate from it. The funniest thing I have heard yet is that on the soap, "All My Children", There is a transgendered person Freddie, born male who is also a rock star named Zarf, who is really a Zoe [female] inside but is also a Lesbian because he likes girls but is really a girl with male genitalia.:hypercoffee Perfectly ridiculous that anyone would even buy into such trash. And now Diane Sawyer will give genetic examples of pre-adolescent children who think they were born in the wrong bodies...

I know of no such mental health professionals but I do believe you. It was lobbied to remove homosexuality from the DMS-IV, now this will probably be added and then subtracted also...makes me want to change professions, almost...:hypercoffee

Rhoni, a "Transgender" wanted to be Prom King in Fresno last week.

Seems that after she lost, suddenly she wanted to use side entrances and NOT talk to the cameras.

Another way for tearing down something in our society to make it common and so questioned and thus, acceptable within 30 years.
