Josh, my thought was that that’s a rough way to become a “one woman man” per 1 Timothy and Titus.

Seriously, if you watch her “coming out as a man” video, you’re going to notice that, despite her apparent gender dysphoria and attempts to hide her figure, she’s a very, very feminine young lady. The question that comes to mind for me, then, is “what on earth happened? Who did this to you?”. Perhaps there is some degree of this where there’s no apparent cause, but call me skeptical.

NewThe paradox of gender fluidity and permanent surgical decisions

Thu, 02/15/18

The paradox of gender fluidity and permanent surgical decisions:

  • To “become” a woman from a man …
  • To “become” a man from a woman …

These options are severe and probably irreversible!

Hence the paradox … gender fluidity is really not consistent with these options

NewNot "probably"

When you remove body parts, they don’t grow back. You can’t keep them in the freezer until you want them again. There could be an ugly choice that either they are removed (like a cancer really) or the person is likely to take one’s own life, but yes, advocates of “gender fluidity” need to come to grips with the fact that even “mere” hormone therapy can leave irreversible scars. There is nothing “fluid” about gender reassignment.

NewIrreversible, and life-shortening

Tue, 02/20/18

I remembered a comment my sister-in-law made about this; the surgery and hormone therapy needed to keep up the facade actually shortens their lives, too. I don’t know exactly why this is, but she’s in a position to know, as one of her good longtime friends made the transition, and she does work in the medical field.
