May I not post here because I am transgender and Christian?

Eight historical transliterated Hebrew biological sex designations with terse definitions:

Zachar, male.

Nekevah, female.

Androgynos, having both male and female characteristics.

Tumtum, lacking sexual characteristics.

Aylonit hamah, identified female at birth but later naturally developing male characteristics.

Aylonit adam, identified female at birth but later developing male characteristics through human intervention.

Saris hamah, identified male at birth but later naturally developing female characteristics.

Saris adam, identified male at birth and later developing female characteristics through human intervention

Sex Difference in Christian Theology: Male, Female, and Intersex in the Image of God

by Megan K. DeFranza

This book is a wonderful, merciful, rigorous theological discussion of biological sex and the introductory video is listed here:

Please forgive me if this story is considered inappropriate within this context? Whether anyone considers themselves christian or not, may I please include some extra nuance to your conversation? I have no intention of attempting any kind of evangelization in my contribution, I would however like to supply some extra dimension to the discourse. To advance some concepts I would like to present some quotes.

First:

Isa 56:4-5 KJV 4 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; 5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

Second:

Mat 19:11-12 KJV 11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. 12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Third:

Act 8:26-40 KJV (The baptism of the eunuch which I consider too long to be quoted here but far from inconsequential.)

I would love to note first that the term eunuch in these quotes seems to be defined by the Lord Jesus himself to include intersex individuals (eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb). Unwilling (some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men) and willing (eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs) individuals appear similarly defined.

May I also note the quote (unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters). I am aware that original Hebrew literally is translated "a hand and a name" greater than of sons and of daughters. I am, however, quite intrigued by the implications that eunuchs are given recognition separate from sons and from daughters.

I consider myself to be trans (eunuch, saris adam). I am not exactly a son and not exactly a daughter. I have a woefully masculine face and physique but I am definitely not a son (AMAB MTF post SRS (GRS)). Therefore I do not fit in sons' spaces or daughters' spaces.

I have immersed myself in the historical, philosophical, psychological, political and theological literature and media for a significant portion of seven decades and conclude that I am physically, politically, perceptually and theologically non-binary. Psychologically, I have identified as female since the age of two or three but diligent discipline discouraged any hint or discussion of my feminine identity or behavior. My ideal puberty would have included hormone blockers until a legally acceptable age to begin HRT and GRS (SRS) and then as nearly normal womanhood as attainable.

In actuality, the diligent discipline has induced my voluntary celibacy and perception that I have been insidiously gaslighted and have a subtle incidence of complex traumatic stress disorder by the dismissing, ignoring, denying and suppressing of my gender identity. I am just one of my peers who is the quarry for metaphorical, euphemistic and literal physical erasure. My concern is not just psychological, health or culture. This is the challenge and analysis of my right to true Judeo-Christian observance and Judeo-Christian expression.

I hope my comments and the quotes are discovered to be beneficial. I pray that nothing is found to be triggering because my intent was to be somehow loving, compassionate and empathetic to each and everyone. If you have deigned to read this entire comment, thank you much!

Reading this I think to myself we are regressing as a society. Western Culture is going backwards not forwards. We are being fed a pack of lies and our children and families will be permanently hurt by such terrible thoughts allowed to fester in spite of these ideas being anti-science and anti-reality. Discussion and debate is not allowed, other ideas are not allowed, this defines it as a cult. We must stand for Truth. If they can get us to actually believe that men can be women and women can be men we are doomed forever. Stand for Truth and do not be afraid.

I want to share a youtube of Jaron Bloshinsky ("Jazz Jennings") doctor Marc Bowers "mansplaining" Debra Soh. Marc changed his name to Marci and does many of these very lucrative surgeries. But, without meaning to be unkind here, I think it is less about the money than the sexual jollies he gets from his profession. I've read him talk about how real and constructed vaginas smell different and it's creepy sick. We might at least not do this to children but I think many men enjoy that it's children.

Anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-I4nfhjwkmI

"Gender reassignment surgeon Dr. Marci Bowers and neuroscientist Dr. Debra Soh debate gender identity. Dr. Bowers shares it’s about exploring happiness, so what is the threat? What is the appropriate age to start discussing gender with kids? Is school the right venue to have this discussion?"

The best thing about it actually a comment:

"Oh My Lawd!

Marci Bowers dominates the conversation - just like an egotistical man would do"

Jaron is overweight and depressed now. And, we really have lost sanity ground by not calling a spade a spade/engaging with the language of GI.

Academia is "all in" on the insanity. My second link, posted earlier today, is about a recent study lead by Kristina Olson who is infamous to those of us who have been in this battle since 4thwavenow.com days.

From 2016: https://4thwavenow.com/tag/kristina-olson/

"None of the children who have been identified as “truly transgender” by clinicians like Norman Spack and Johanna Olson are going to get the chance to find out if they would have been just as happy not being socially transitioned. We won’t learn in any systematic way whether social transition and media validation could be creating persistence in children who might otherwise have grown up without medical and psychiatric tampering. We can’t know, because researchers aren’t studying them; they don’t have control groups of children who claim to be the opposite sex but who are not socially transitioned and subsequently puberty blocked."

Now in 2022 Olson works for Princeton University and is churning out the same unscientific studies. https://www.city-journal.org/new-study-casts-doubt-on-gender-affirming-therapy?wallit_nosession=1

"Olson and her coauthors could have designed their study with controls—for instance, by comparing a group of kids who had undergone early social transition with a group with similar psychological profiles that did not undergo social transition."

And, since her latest study is as lame as her 2016 study "Critics of pediatric transition should continue to make the case that social transition is a form of direct intervention, not neutral support. And they can use the Olson study to bolster their case."

Princeton University would have done better to hire Ken Zucker instead of Kristina Olson - https://www.kenzuckerphd.com/

The same 4thwavenow article discusses two Olsons: Johanna Olson and Kristina Olson - the one who is now at Princeton and lead author of the recent lame study.

Another quote from the 2016: https://4thwavenow.com/tag/kristina-olson/ which regards this activist Olson:

"The recent study most often cited by trans activists is one by Kristina Olson at the University of Washington, which essentially proved that children who preferred the activities and appearance of the opposite sex weren’t just pretending; they really meant what they said! (Why would anyone question that?)"

In terms of gay conversion therapy, in the old 20th century version, the mind was encouraged in various ways, including emetics, etc, to change and fit the body....i.e a male brain and a male body should desire a female body, not another male one.

In the new dispensation, the mind is sacrosanct and the body is changed to fit that mind. It's the new version of gay conversation therapy.

A more unethical version of gay conversion therapy as it does actual physical damage. It is also a type of eugenics. The old “gay conversion therapy” does not happen now it is replaced with this version.

We live in terrible times, Rosario. "But I am not going to stop: how many girls have they operated on without knowing what they are doing, irreversibly damaging them for the future?" Thank you. They messed with a girl whose mama es una abogada. Kiera Bell didn't have that.

And it is horrible how many girls and mothers are made to believe that all of their problems are answered by Gender Ideology. One would think that is a red flag warning showing that this must be a cult: All of your problems will be instantly solved if you ____.

Have you read and shared this study? "Reconsidering Informed Consent for Trans-Identified Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults

Also, I recommend this article: "A Cause, Not a Cure - Though the New York Times touts its findings, a new study provides further evidence that “gender-affirming” therapy creates or prolongs the very problem it purports to solve."

Good luck to you, to all of us, and to our societies which need to reject this crazy ideology. It is such a different matter from being tolerant of a few grown men who choose to live a transexual life (which could be the best way for a few of them to deal with what is a mind/mental problem and might not be). Since when do we let patients tell psychiatrists what to do and all of society is forced to go along with it? And psychiatric associations are intimidated into agreement? Oh, since about last week...

Thanks for your brave actions. An example to other mothers. I will never call my daughter my son, although others do. We mothers stand against the mad crowd because we know our daughters better than they do.

I am in a pool of tears responding to your post. I feel your heart. It is broken. You are not alone. My daughter is going thru similar but was side tracked by sex traffickers she met via internet. Our stories need to be heard! We are allowing these professionals to kill our children by focusing on gender instead of trauma. It is truly horrendous! Our daughters haven’t even given the body God have them a chance to grow up! I stand with you. I will not stop fighting this fight. I will never ever give up! Mothers unite!
