Fellowship With Transgenders

FAQ: Should Christians shun transgenders?

FAQ: Absolutely not!

Transgendering isn't specifically addressed in the Bible, viz: it's a gray area,
and as such ought to be approached in accord with the 14th chapter of
Romans which says, in so many words, that we are not permitted to engage
Christian transgenders with debating nor abuse them with judgmental
criticism.

Transgendering is a rough road to travel due to embarrassing therapy
regimens; and side effects, complications, negative public opinion, doubts,
regrets, disappointment, and mood swings that many would rather not talk
about. So be especially careful with your dialogue so as not to push them to
the point where you'll be forcing them to maintain their poise with fibs.

A little empathy, and a whole lot of tact and courtesy, can be very useful in
helping someone get thru the day, ergo: don't become a hell for
transgenders, instead, become a haven because people really ought to feel
safe with Christians instead of wary.

● Matt 7:12 . . So in everything: do to others what you would have them do
to you.

My take is to not consider Romans 14, but rather Romans 1.

Thus far my comments have been relative to folks who've undergone a full
transgender process;

Why dont you try to find something to do, regarding subject matter, ....To POST..... that is actually worthy of being on a Christian Forum.

Try that. @Webers_Home .

You are teaching doctrines of devils my brother ..

You are very correct when you say the brother is teaching doctrines of devils. Romans 1 and the story of Sodom and Gomorrah tells me everything that I need to know.

It is my firm personal conviction that transgendering is a gray area for
Christians. Whether it really is a gray area for Christians makes no difference
as the principles outlined in the 14th of Romans allow an individual's
conscience to dictate their decisions in matters relative to faith, i.e. that
chapter permits me to be fully persuaded by my own thinking rather than by
somebody else's thinking.

So then; seeing as how I truly believe in my own mind-- and according to
the dictates of my own conscience --that transgendering is a gray area; then
the rules spelled out in the 14th of Romans forbid me to debate the issue;
and those rules also forbid me to condemn my opponents with judgmental
remarks.

So if a man becomes a trans woman and marries a man, would that make them homosexuals, since their both biological men? And that is against the scriptures.

Probably no entertainer understood a child's need for acceptance better than
Mr. Rogers.

Herein are the lyrics to one of his songs-- addressed to every kid watching
his show regardless of age, race, and/or gender. It's sort of self explanatory;
so I offer no comments to go with it.

I like you as you are.
Exactly and precisely,
I think you turned out nicely;
And I like you as you are.

The problem with transitioning is that the person DOESN'T accept themselves "as they are." Maybe that's your point and I'm just missing it.

My generation grew up being told to "be yourself" but the younger generations were told "you can be anything you want to be." The parents were talking about vocation - doctor, lawyer, astronaut, president. Apparently some of those kids took it as "opposite gender, pony, alien."

I hear gynecologists are being sued for not seeing Trans men and I also heard some kids are suing the schools for not having a litter box because the child identifies themselves as a cat.
