DEBATE: ANTI-TRANSGENDER

Transgender people have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from their assigned
sex. Sex reassignment surgery or SRS is the surgical procedure by which a transgender person's physical
appearance and function of their existing sexual characteristics are altered to resemble that socially
associated with their identified gender.

Deuteronomy 22:5

“A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for
whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.”

Genesis 1:27 
Deuteronomy 23:1

“So one
“No God whose
createdtesticles
man in are
his own image,
crushed in the male
or whose imageorgan
of God he created

the assembly of
he created them.”
the LORD.”

As a matter of biology, male and female are categories defined by different roles in
reproduction; a male human cannot be, or become, a female human. Hormones and surgery
can create the appearance of a “sex change” but cannot transform a person into someone of
the other sex category. People have a right to look and behave as they like without the
constraints of patriarchal gender norms, but that does not require anyone to claim to have
changed sex categories.
When males who identify as transgender assert that they are female and, therefore,
should be allowed in all-female spaces such as changing rooms or bathrooms, it’s no surprise
that many people say, “I don’t understand.” That’s legitimate confusion, not bigotry or hate. But
simply acknowledging the confusion can, in some places, lead to being labeled “transphobic,”
and so many people keep quiet about their concerns (Robert Gensen, 2017).
The number of patients who regret their sex change surgeries,
especially among biological males who underwent operations to look like
females, is on the rise, according to a leading genital reconstructive surgeon
in Serbia.
 Dr. Michelle Cretella:

 For human beings to flourish, they need to feel comfortable in their

own bodies, readily identify with their sex, and believe that they are who
they actually are. For children especially, normal development and
functioning require accepting their physical being and understanding their
embodied selves as male or female.

Dr. Mchugh:
Transgendered men do not become women, nor do transgendered women
become men. All (including Bruce Jenner) become feminized men or
masculinized women, counterfeits or impersonators of the sex with which
they “identify.” In that lies their problematic future.

When “the tumult and shouting dies,” it proves not easy nor wise to live in a
counterfeit sexual garb. Ten to fifteen years after surgical reassignment, the
suicide rate of those who had undergone sex-reassignment surgery rose to
twenty times that of comparable peers.
