Christianity says: “God made your body good. It tells you about who you are. Love and steward your body well.” Progressivism says: “Your body is arbitrary, subject to your feelings, & has nothing to do with your identity. Mutilate it as you see fit.”

Christians like Allie Beth Stuck Key say: “God made your body. It belongs to Him, not you, you’re just renting it from Him. If certain parts of it doesn’t match what you feel that you are, you are wrong. Because He is NEVER wrong! He NEVER makes mistakes!!”
Science says: “Some people’s gender (brains-sex) doesn’t match their sex (genitals-sex). The currently best way to treat this condition is to change the genitals-sex to fit the brains-sex. But it’s all up to the person if they want that done.”
Christianity says: “God made your body. Not good? Tough shit. You're stuck with it no matter what. Love and steward your body well, even if living in it is unending torture, because you're God's property and if you defy him you go straight to Hell.” Progressivism says: “Your body is none of anybody's business but yours, subject to your feelings. You can express your identity however you want, and that includes modifying your body as you see fit, because you are in charge of your own life and can decide for yourself who and what you are.”

Diseases. Created by your ‘God' to make even his ‘Belie ving' creation bad.
As that's what Reality says, not even your ‘God' has the right to an ‘Opinion' on what his creations can do to improve upon his own supposedly ‘Intelligent' design which actually proves he is inferior .
and what people really want to be means your ‘Opinion' on the issue is more than inferior .
What about all the children with birth defects? Did God put the defects there and if so, to what purpose? To teach a child how to deal with unending pain or the bullying they receive from other kids because they’re a little bit different? To teach parents how to spend their lives being full-time caregivers? Just more evidence that your god is a sadistic monster.
lets fix it, shall we?
Christianity says: “God made your body and owns it too. However much anguish and pain you experience as a result is not his problem. Your body does not belong to you so you better not do anything to it that we, the church disapprove of.” Progressivism says: “Your body is yours and yours alone to govern as you wish, subject to your brain, not the other way around & may have nothing to do with your identity. Alter it as you see fit.”
There, now it works.
Christianity says: “You have no control over your own life. You have no agency. All your choices are ultimately irrelevant, because you’ll be eternally damned if you don’t submit to God. Every good thing you do is a mercy of God, and is completely meaningless outside of God. Your body is the property of God and a handful of powerful men that claim to speak for him, and you’ll go to hell if you don’t do what you’re told.”
Progressivism says: “You have the freedom to make your own decisions.”
God made your body good.
I’m a cis dude, and no, he did not. I may have the right genitals and secondary sex characteristics, but I was given an autoimmune disease, a couple of spinal conditions, and an eye disorder. If it’s ok for me to get medical treatment to fix all of this “goodness,” then surely it’s ok for people whose “good” body didn’t align with their gender identity to do the same. Fuck off, cunt.
Confused?
