It is a comparatively recent derivation by the man-focused intelligentsia of this world. As you have indicated, Hannah, we do people a disservice when we tell them “This is how a girl must be,” or “This is how a boy must be,” especially because it turns them from life with Jesus to a template or form of life. <br /><br />Each of us is set up for real life in Christ, and our particular soul activities and/or desires are the platform for Him. By choosing to identify ourselves AS those activities or desires is to injure ourselves by looking away from the Creator and our life with Him, to the created and the faux life we might create on our own. It is tragic, but that’s why the great gospel of God for us in Christ is so needed and results in such beautiful deliverance and transformation. No matter the “drive,” no matter the “desire,” we are set up for life with and in Christ. <br /><br />When we assist people to Him, we’ve done the best service possible. Thanks for your question and comments, Hannah.

How do they come to the conclusion that their body doesn't match their inner self? What is their definition of what it means to be a man or woman? Why is there such a strong drive and desire to be the opposite of their physical body. What is the missing pieces? To me, it seems to be clear in the bible that the gender we are born with is no mistake. Could this also have to do with difference in personalities, that because we have labelled types of personalities as male or female? What really frustrates me, is when someone is struggling and feeling confused, then the transgender groups jump in and tells these people that is who they are and they don't have a choice. How is that different from the transgender arguments that say heterosexuals are forcing them to fit in their box? Both sides are doing the same thing, instead of having a open conversation to find out where all these thoughts and emotions are coming from, because they do have a source. <br /><br />I would really love to dialog with you on this.<br />ThanksHannahnoreply@blogger.com
