(Commenting on story “Man Who Identifies As Woman Sues in Effort to Gain Entry Into Ladies’ Beauty Pageant”):

pastoredsmith:
haha. He is no woman. Problem here is that society accepts his delusion. Once called abnormal by every major psychological agency in the world, still prohibited by Scripture (that will never change), his delusion continues. Sad set of unnecessary happenings. Get this BOY some serious help. He needs it.

Rusty Crosses:
Should society accept your delusions? Psychological societies changed their positions with increased knowledge. Please cite the Bible verse that prohibits transgenderism.

pastoredsmith:
"increased knowledge?" you make me laugh.
One Scripture of many....Romans 1:24:32

Rusty Crosses:
Psychological societies have accepted scientific research. Why don't you?
I've read those verses many times. Christians try to make them condemn homosexuality not transgenderism. How do you get them to be about transgenderism?

pastoredsmith:
There is no such thing as transgenderism, as you call it. DNA proves gender....the exact same thing as biological sex. You claim to "accept" science, yet you simply cherry pick what you want to do as truth and reject the rest. No science has ever proven that a person is born with one biological sex and is actually the opposite gender. It's just another perverted lifestyle choice. Transgender? Homosexuality? Bestiality? Adultery? They are all the same in God's eyes. Sexual sins that must be forgiven. Sinful life choices that are just wrong. Yes, Scriptures prove these are all sinful and wrong. Why can't you accept that? It is the truth.

Rusty Crosses:
DNA does not determine everything about a person. For example, Maria José Martínez-Patiño has male DNA but was born a baby girl. It wasn't until the Olympics tested her that she found out she has male DNA.

pastoredsmith:
Rusty person, your precious "science" that you worship explains that well. It's called a defect. An imperfection. You worship "science," but cherry pick its outcome. Why do you do that? Can't you accept your own "science?" Obviously not. You have more "faith" than I do....only difference is that you have "faith" in the folly of "theories" that are skewed, altered or otherwise changed facts designed to produce a desired outcome, and then are cherry picked by atheists.

Rusty Crosses:
I do accept science. Maria is the result of a fetal development anomaly which you think makes her defective. Science has supplied evidence that transgenderism is also the result of a fetal development anomaly.

pastoredsmith:
No, you do not accept science, and you are wrong about my thinking "she is defective." She has an abnormality, and that makes nobody "defective." A defect is an imperfection in the original design, in case you need a lesson in the definition. Science does no such thing as prove that transgenderism is the result of any deformity except a fallen nature and a lifestyle choice. There is scientifically no such thing as a transgender. OK, let me use your line. Proof that science proves transgenderism, please. I'm waiting.
BTW. Psychological societies have not accepted scientific research. They manipulated it, just as you have. Why won't you open your eyes and see the lies and manipulation?

Rusty Crosses:
I claimed there is scientific evidence that transgenderism is real. Here is an article that discusses some of that evidence:
www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-there-something-unique-about-the-transgender-brain/
I proved my claim.
Please provide evidence for your claim that this research has been manipulated, skewed, altered or otherwise changed to produce a desired outcome. Where does the Bible prove transgenderism is a sinful life choice?
What evidence do you have that psychological societies have manipulated scientific research?

pastoredsmith:
Always want me to produce evidence. It's all around you, but you refuse to accept what is there. It would be a waste of time to argue "evidence" when you clearly reject all evidence except that which points towards your worldview choices. If you can't see it, it is because you refuse to see it. You demand that I approach the Bible with an open mind, yet you approach it with a closed mind made up because of a worldview you chose that has been skewed by lies.
