If the American Psychiatric Association cannot be honest about homosexuality or the trans cult then it is broken too.

Here's Christ has what God said about homosexuality in Mosaic Law: Do we live under this law? No, we do not bc Christ has freed us.

"Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable." Leviticus 18:22 NIV OT We live under the love commandment not an ancient in a small tucked away culture 3,000 years ago.

If one reads further for context, one will find that God proscribed the death penalty. God or humans? He definitely was NOT ok with it. A loving God kills people?

When you are a man and think you are a woman, your mind is broken and needs to be healed.
The LGBTQ is not broken. The American Psychiatric Association does not them "broken" that appellation is simply your opinion and the AMA and APA do not back you up. Your being obtuse.

The "them" in Romans 1 is referring to the people who rejected God.

They became consumed by their passions as they progressed in their rejection of God and his ways.

Christ declared that He did not come to get rid of the law.
17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:17-20

It is also very telling, how you belittle the Hebrews and their ways in such a manner. It reveals just how little you respect God, His law and His words.

Yes, a loving God kills people.... or more correctly, a loving God allows people to reject Him and then die as a consequence of their choices. You obviously are not a Christian if you cannot grasp this very basic reality of scripture. If this is not true, then what exactly is Christ saving us from? The Bible couldn't be more clear that Christ saves us from the wrath of God... that wrath which is poured out on sinners as a result of their sins. Christ saves us from the consequences of our own choices.

Your comments have made this all too clear.... you, Waco are not a Christian. It is impossible to be a Christian and also reject the idea that Christ saves us from the consequences of our sin.

Clearly, you have no connection with God. If you did, then you would not show contempt for God and the society & culture He established through His covenants with the Hebrew people.

You are the living example of Romans 1: 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

YOU are the "them" referred to in Romans 1. You are the living example of the following verses at the end of the chapter... the end result of rejecting God: 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.

I pray that someday you will see the truth and repent. I have a very sad feeling that you will never choose to follow Jesus, as it would mean rejecting the identity you have created for yourself. You love yourself and your own self-righteousness, more than you could ever desire a true relationship with God.

Of course the AMA is a lobbying group but they are medical experts first and foremost and they make clear their medical reasons for their stance. Bigots apparently don't like facts and prefer name calling and red herrings.


The irony is rich in your post.
Answer the questions:

1. Has the AMA ever been wrong? Yes or no?

2. Is it possible for someone who is scientifically and biologically male to become scientifically and biologically female?

3. If it is possible, why do you say it is "probably" unjust for such men to compete in sports against women?

4. If it is not possible, where do get off calling me a bigot for pointing out a fact that you believe is correct?

We know that there were slaves in the Roman Empire, we know that there were Jews and Gentiles in the Roman Empire, and we know that there were men and women in the Roman Empire. Paul was pointing out that the hierarchies of importance of society were removed before God. This is not a concept exclusive with him, and it has nothing to do with him making an argument that a man can be a woman or vice versa. The fact that you are trying to shoe horn your political views about people being able to choose their sex into that passage is laughable. There is no biblical support for the idea that a man can be a woman or that a woman can be a man. However, that is not relevant in a discussion with you since you don't believe that the Bible is dispositive about anything anyway.

Again, answer the questions:

Answer the questions:

1. Has the AMA ever been wrong? Yes or no?

2. Is it possible for someone who is scientifically and biologically male to become scientifically and biologically female?

3. If it is possible, why do you say it is "probably" unjust for such men to compete in sports against women?

Troon - the moral equivalent to the n_word
: "A slur used by transphobes to refer to and dehumanize transgender women. The term is a portmanteau of the words 'trans' and 'goon,' and carries the connotation that those accused of being 'troons' are using gender identity to hide sinister and potentially violent ends." According to Harvard Cyberlaw Clinic instructor Alejandra Caraballo

Good lord how can any you call yourselves a good person
I've never heard that word before.

But please, sit on your judgement seat today as usual.

read back a few pages and you'll see it. Yeah, I will call out dehumanization
47 you dehumanize people more than anybody on here.

You put everybody that disagrees with you in the same basket and have literally no nuance about politics and interpersonal relationships.

You hear "maga" and see one homogenious group of individual who all think alike, so you can stand in condemnation of them.

I hear it and realize there are millions of completely different people, with completely different backgrounds, and completely different life directions and mindsets.

Your "differences " still hold that these young people and the LGBT community are abnormal or crazy or delusional, or mentally ill. Morality counts in the real world. People are people and are not encapsulated in your moral views. The world has moved on from these biases. Time to remember the love commandment you shall love the Lord, your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and your neighbor as yourself.
Quit putting your bigoted thoughts in my mouth. YOU are the one on these forums that lumps people into generic groups and loves them or hates them according to your specific bigotry.

I see every single person as an individual. And love every single person as an indivdual, not some made up "group".

I also think a person should wait until the adult age of 21 to do any type of major change to their bodies. A grown human being, making grown human being decisions, not little kids making those decisions.

Your bigotry, racism, and poverty of sprit are so appearant with every post you make, it is a chore even to respond to your foolishness.

It is a fact Gender Dysphoria resolves itself in 94% of individuals when they are allowed to go completely through puberty. Those who still want to make those major changes after they have become a young adult should be able to do so.

Good grief you can't even legally drink alcohol until age 21. You can't legally own a handgun until age 21. To do something with exponentially more gravity, such as altering your natural body, should also wait until at least age 21.
you did not answer with any science or medical information. Get educated before using analogies
In 2012 the APA reclassed transgenderism as not being a mental disorder with no scientific reasoning and under pressure from the homosexual community. There is no science behind this.

Science and Medicine Yet so many still post ignorance: The American Medical Association supports everyone's access to quality evidence-based health care regardless of gender or sexual orientation. To ensure that LGBTQ patients are not discriminated against in seeking the care they need, nor forced into medically un-sound programs, the AMA works diligently at the state and federal levels to expand access to medical services, reduce stigma in treating patients with unique needs and break down discriminatory barriers to necessary care.


LGBTQ so-called "conversion therapy"
So-called "conversion therapy" refers to any form of interventions which attempt to change an individual's sexual orientation, sexual behaviors or gender identity. Underlying these 'therapies' is the assumption that homosexuality and gender nonconformity are mental disorders and that sexual orientation and gender identity can be changed. This assumption is not based on medical or scientific evidence. Professional consensus rejects pathologizing homosexuality and gender nonconformity and evidence does not support the efficacy of changing sexual orientation.
"Conversion therapy" often includes unethical techniques including electric shock, deprivation of food and liquid, chemically induced nausea and masturbation reconditioning. These practices may increase suicidal behaviors and cause significant psychological distress, anxiety, lowered self-esteem, internalized homophobia, self-blame, intrusive imagery and sexual dysfunction.
The AMA opposes the use of "conversion therapy" for sexual orientation or gender identity.

Coverage for gender-affirming care
Transgender patients often face discriminatory hurdles in accessing medically necessary health care services that affirm gender or treat gender dysphoria. As a population, transgender individuals are less likely to be insured than both the lesbian, gay, bisexual and general population. Among those that are insured, a national survey found that 25 percent of transgender individuals who sought coverage for hormones in the past year were denied and 55 percent of those who sought coverage for transition-related surgery in the past year were denied.
Improving access to gender-affirming care is an important means of improving health outcomes for the transgender population. Receipt of gender-affirming care has been linked to dramatically reduced rates of suicide attempts, decreased rates of depression and anxiety, decreased substance use, improved HIV medication adherence and reduced rates of harmful self-prescribed hormone use.
The AMA supports public and private health insurance coverage for treatment of gender dysphoria and opposes the denial of health insurance based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

Transgender individuals' access to public facilities
LGBTQIA+ health education
Understand how to advance health equity for LGBTQIA+ people, with CME from the Fenway Institute on AMA Ed Hub.
Start Now
For many transgender individuals, social transition is a critically important part of medically necessary treatment. Social transition involves living one's life fully in accordance with one's gender identity and typically includes publicly identifying oneself as that gender, adopting a new name, using different pronouns, grooming and dressing in a manner typically associated with one's gender identity and using restroom and other single-sex facilities consistent with that identity. Policies excluding transgender individuals from restrooms and other facilities undermine well-established treatment protocols for gender dysphoria, expose individuals to stigma and discrimination as well as potential harassment and abuse and impair their social and emotional development, leading to poorer health outcomes throughout life.
Transgender individuals face a greater risk of violence when using a public facility that does not correspond with their gender identity, including being verbally harassed, physically assaulted, or sexually assaulted when accessing a restroom. In addition, prolonged avoidance of the restroom can cause physical harm including dehydration, continence issues, kidney issues and urinary tract infections.
The AMA opposes policies preventing transgender individuals from accessing basic human services and public facilities consistent with gender identity, including the use of restrooms.
That's not science. That's a gobbledygook mixture of social commentary. What really happened was under social pressure, the psychological diagnosis went from a delusional psychosis treated for decades with therapy similar to schizophrenia to an arbitrary "emotional stress" condition. Suicide in this demographic has increased exponentially since then. The reason is the direction went from treating a mental condition to doubling down on the psychological conflict within the individual. This is a shameful situation of politicizing faux science for social purpose.

Like the AMA & many bigger professional organizations, the APA have been co-opted & corrupted. This makes everything they do suspect because we don't know their motives or if they are lying. All too often they confirm our suspicions. It's the same with the media, academia, Big Tech, Hollywood, many large corporations, etc.

It's scary how much of our culture has been corrupted and how much damage has been done as a result. At it's toot, it's all spiritual.

Science and Medicine Yet so many still post ignorance: The American Medical Association supports everyone's access to quality evidence-based health care regardless of gender or sexual orientation.

LGBTQ so-called "conversion therapy"
So-called "conversion therapy" refers to any form of interventions which attempt to change an individual's sexual orientation, sexual behaviors or gender identity. Underlying these 'therapies' is the assumption that homosexuality and gender nonconformity are mental disorders and that sexual orientation and gender identity can be changed. This assumption is not based on medical or scientific evidence. Professional consensus rejects pathologizing homosexuality and gender nonconformity and evidence does not support the efficacy of changing sexual orientation.
"Conversion therapy" often includes unethical techniques including electric shock, deprivation of food and liquid, chemically induced nausea and masturbation reconditioning. These practices may increase suicidal behaviors and cause significant psychological distress, anxiety, lowered self-esteem, internalized homophobia, self-blame, intrusive imagery and sexual dysfunction.
The AMA opposes the use of "conversion therapy" for sexual orientation or gender identity.

Coverage for gender-affirming care
Transgender patients often face discriminatory hurdles in accessing medically necessary health care services that affirm gender or treat gender dysphoria. As a population, transgender individuals are less likely to be insured than both the lesbian, gay, bisexual and general population. Among those that are insured, a national survey found that 25 percent of transgender individuals who sought coverage for hormones in the past year were denied and 55 percent of those who sought coverage for transition-related surgery in the past year were denied.
Improving access to gender-affirming care is an important means of improving health outcomes for the transgender population. Receipt of gender-affirming care has been linked to dramatically reduced rates of suicide attempts, decreased rates of depression and anxiety, decreased substance use, improved HIV medication adherence and reduced rates of harmful self-prescribed hormone use.
The AMA supports public and private health insurance coverage for treatment of gender dysphoria and opposes the denial of health insurance based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

For many transgender individuals, social transition is a critically important part of medically necessary treatment. Social transition involves living one's life fully in accordance with one's gender identity and typically includes publicly identifying oneself as that gender, adopting a new name, using different pronouns, grooming and dressing in a manner typically associated with one's gender identity and using restroom and other single-sex facilities consistent with that identity. Policies excluding transgender individuals from restrooms and other facilities undermine well-established treatment protocols for gender dysphoria, expose individuals to stigma and discrimination as well as potential harassment and abuse and impair their social and emotional development, leading to poorer health outcomes throughout life.
Transgender individuals face a greater risk of violence when using a public facility that does not correspond with their gender identity, including being verbally harassed, physically assaulted, or sexually assaulted when accessing a restroom. In addition, prolonged avoidance of the restroom can cause physical harm including dehydration, continence issues, kidney issues and urinary tract infections.
The AMA opposes policies preventing transgender individuals from accessing basic human services and public facilities consistent with gender identity, including the use of restrooms.
That's not science. That's a gobbledygook mixture of social commentary. What really happened was under social pressure, the psychological diagnosis went from a delusional psychosis treated for decades with therapy similar to schizophrenia to an arbitrary "emotional stress" condition. Suicide in this demographic has increased exponentially since then. The reason is the direction went from treating a mental condition to doubling down on the psychological conflict within the individual. This is a shameful situation of politicizing faux science for social purpose.

You want him to prove the case that Paul was talking about something other than men believing they are and pretending to be women and vice versa? You aren't "cherry picking," you're just making crap up out of whole cloth. There is no biblical support for the idea that a man can be a woman. Paul was not making the case for sex change by belief.

Answer the questions:

1. Has the AMA ever been wrong? Yes or no?

2. Is it possible for someone who is scientifically and biologically male to become scientifically and biologically female?

3. If it is possible, why do you say it is "probably" unjust for such men to compete in sports against women?

4. If it is not possible, where do get off calling me a bigot for pointing out a fact that you believe is correct?

a couple of takes from this, and please note, when i say "you", i mean it in the plural sense, not you personally, but you seem to talk a lot about the bible, but whenever there is a problematic point in the Old Testament (and there are several) you always say that you are a New Testament Christian, but you always pick and choose the bits from the Old Testament which suit your particular Agenda.

Ignoring that though, if you accept this particular quotation at face value and hold it as a honest belief, then surely you must be against any kind of Body Altering surgery? isnt that messing with Gods image? If God wanted you to have a Flat Chest or Wonky Teeth, or a Cleft Palate, or Astigmatism, shouldnt you then accept Gods image as it is and not cut off (or inject substances into) whatever parts of your body you want to?
He could have quoted Jesus from Matthew 19:4 has he wished.

Verse 4: "Have you not read that from the beginning he made them male and female?

It's not really an Old vs. New Testament issue.
is that not from a part discussing Divorce? (also saying that Divorce should never be lawful, but i guess its all cool now?)

Christianity has never accepted divorce.

The increasingly post-religious West is a different story.

[The marriage bond

The consent by which the spouses mutually give and receive one another is sealed by God himself.[141] From their covenant arises "an institution, confirmed by the divine law, . . . even in the eyes of society."[142] The covenant between the spouses is integrated into God's covenant with man: "Authentic married love is caught up into divine love."[143]
1640 Thus the marriage bond has been established by God himself in such a way that a marriage concluded and consummated between baptized persons can never be dissolved. This bond, which results from the free human act of the spouses and their consummation of the marriage, is a reality, henceforth irrevocable, and gives rise to a covenant guaranteed by God's fidelity. The Church does not have the power to contravene this disposition of divine wisdom.[144]
