I believe this article is right on. These people claim they were given the wrong body. Well if God created them ( and He did) then they are saying in effect God made a mistake. Now God is perfect which means He doesn't make mistakes. A lot of homosexuals claim they were born that way, but that's a crock as well since God made male and female. If God wanted us homosexual He wouldn't have created woman. That's a different debate though.

What we see in this article is the logical outcome from the worldview that is postmodernism. If there is no absolute truth, then it makes no difference what the reality of the body is (whether male or female); it only makes a difference what reality I want. It is the same lie Satan used in the garden: You can be like God. Somewhere along the way we've gotten this notion that all of our desires should be fulfilled, regardless of how unhealthy they may be. This is the heart of Satan's attack; to keep us so focused on ourselves and our desires that we have no time to seek God. I feel for this young man not because of his beliefs, but because of the cowardice of his parents in not confronting them and explaining God's natural order to him. Too often in many US homes, the children are in charge. Perhaps that is why our country is such a mess. Any human "wisdom" that contradicts God's laws and order is wrong; pure and simple. No matter how reasonable, if it contradicts God it is wrong.

I find this another one of those shame on you articles. Its all about the flesh. Trying to validate that since our God give you a body you must worship it thus a slave to the flesh. I am a Transsexual woman friends. I have had to suffer through my own guilt taught to me by our society which loves this message the writer has reiterated. I wish I could say life is so simple as this writer makes it seem. While the truth is, it's just not always so.

God made me in his image. God is spirit, or something much deeper then we have been given to understand. When I die and this flesh is gone. And I am taken to Heaven because I believe in Christ. I'll be given a new body as will everyone. My being, my person, the one who is me, is a spirit made in Gods image. It is that which God claims as his own. It is my spirit who worships God.

Writing like this makes it hard for me to witness to the gendered lost. Who wants this God? For why? It's a difficult question to answer when its rejection offered

this was a great article and it isn't condemning transgender people just showing another light...and he/she is right we didn't ask to be here

I will note that it says his parents decided to let Brandon grow up as a girl. However the emphasis seemed to be on the mother's role and no direct mention of the father's.

It does not surprise me that a father was not mentioned in the case of Brandon. There are many young boys being raised by mothers and other females when they need a father, a man in their lives. A woman cannot teach a boy to truly be a man, only a man can. The homosexual lobby will have us believe that people are people and gender and sex roles don't matter. However, my Lord & Saviour said, "Male and female created HE them." There is a difference, a God ordained difference and purpose for the life of each male and each female HE has created. Please, if you are truly saved, then be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind through God's word. Don't let the world tell you that you are a hatemonger for condemning homosexuality. Loving your neighbor means preaching God's full truth to them, not telling them they are okay in their sin. This is condemning so many confused and lost souls to hell.

I agree with this article, not only did our bodies decide for us, but God did.

People especially christians or so called christians do not know the word of God. they have reduced their walk or "christian" life to sunday mornings and allow whatever wind of doctrine sway their opinion every other time. God created man and woman and created them to be married to each other and subdue the earth. That is God's plan Man husband father, woman wife mother. Antyhting else is against God's ultimate plan. Homosexuality is an abomination. Anyone who says they love God and know him and are gay or support abortion rights are liars and the truth is not in them. 1 Timothy 1 . People surround themselves with teachers that tell them what their itching ears want to hear.
