On Transgenderism
Earlier today I saw a video on Facebook. I clicked away to write a response and lost the link. I had to search for a bit but found one cut almost the same. That’s what’s linked to below. You’ve seen a video just like it, I’m sure. A young female athlete from Colorado’s Thompson Valley HS, who opened with prayer in the first clip I saw, was speaking at what appeared to be a school board meeting for a group of about a dozen other girls against boys playing against them in her sport. You know the kind of video I’m talking about. She talked about how girls get physically hurt by boys in sports, etc. In her speech, she said something that struck me. She said, “My goal by giving you this speech is not to shame or put down any athlete. Me and the rest of my team believe that everyone deserves to be and feel however that they would like.” Others were smiling and nodding in affirmation. She said this while speaking against boys in girls’ sports.
This is both good and sad to me. Good because these young ladies are taking a stand, but sad because they’re sending a confusing message and may themselves still be very confused about the nature of the problem.
We as a people need to stop affirming that transgenderism is OK…at all. They did a good thing here standing up against it in sports, sure, but we just can’t say- as this group did- that it’s fine or OK for someone to do something on the one hand, but then on the other hand say they just don’t want to compete with boys in sports who do it. We can’t say that it’s OK…we just don’t want anything to do with those who do it in sports. If it is in fact OK, why can’t they compete?! See the issue? It’s precisely because it’s not OK that it shows us why they shouldn’t compete. You can’t affirm that it’s OK but then say it’s just not OK on the field.
Why? You have to remember that the most depraved of “leaders” among us (well inside the last decade) have written things like “gender or genetic identity” into civil rights. To them, being a so-called “transgender” (a fictitious word since no one ever actually changes sex/gender) is just like being old, Muslim, or Asian. So, if these girls were to say that it’s perfectly OK to be Asian but that they just don’t want to compete against Asians in sports they’d be sending a very confusing message and what they’d actually be saying is that it’s not OK to be Asian. Now just substitute Asian for transgender. Why are you saying you don’t want to compete against someone who’s just different? It’s weird now to not want transgenders on a field or in a locker room…but only to weirdos. That’s kinda my point. This is a wider cultural/people issue now, and we need to take a stand against it wholesale to help change. We can’t be duplicitous. Even if you’re not a Christian you know that transgenderism is wrong. You cannot call anyone who looks into a mirror and dislikes who they see unless they see something else in costume looking back “healthy” in any sense of the word. That would be far worse than pretending that a woman who’s already 50 pounds underweight yet sees herself as fat and starves herself is healthy for doing it. If we love the anorexic we will tell her. We won’t say it’s perfectly fine to be anorexic. If we love the so-called transgender we also can’t say it’s fine.
Tell the truth my friends, transgenderism is just not OK. I understand the limits of government here, but I’m talking about ethics among us as a people, not government legislation. My hope is not in politics. Legislators are just people too. They’ll do what we tell them, and politicians will do what gets them or keeps them in office. The problem is not primarily the legislators; it’s the people on your left and right. It’s our sons and daughters we’ve failed to educate who say that transgenderism is OK. Like people in churches who heap up for themselves false teachers to tell them what they want to hear, so it is in our country with our politics. The problem is the people; the results are those in office who represent them (at least supposedly anyway). Transgenderism is wrong. Please, say this in love, but say it clearly. These are people we’re talking about, not just ideas. Lives are ruined both eternally (you understand this if you’re of God) and temporally (you should understand this). It is objectively wrong in every way to pretend to be a transgender person. And remember that being too nice for too long can be a distraction. They are the perpetrators after all. We’re not nice to rapists. We should not be nice to thieves. We should not be nice to sex-traffickers. And we should not be nice to the perverts who pervert children. Jesus said that anyone who comes to him will find in him a heart that is gentle, so we who love him should want to be like him in his gentleness but at the same time it would be better for any person (parent, friend, judge, king, politician, “pastor”) teaching children that transgenderism is OK to literally have a millstone hung around their neck and to be cast into the open ocean than to stand before Jesus at the judgment. That’s what God says on this issue I have no doubt. Transgenderism harms everyone among us, and it especially harms vulnerable children. It is purest evil. Shunning it is the only appropriate cultural response to it, but our culture is the issue. Nevertheless, decency is why we shouldn’t want it around. And there’s more at stake here than a medal, a trophy, or even a scholarship, all things which also play a proper part. Think of the confused people that we don’t want to be confused anymore! What kind of message would it be for a dad to tell his son that it’s perfectly OK for him to dress up like a girl, leave makeup and dresses in his room, and then tell him it’s just not OK to do it in public? Clearly, he’s at best confused. No, it’s not OK to do it out there because it’s not OK to do it. And so, no one who loves their child encourages them to do evil. It is clearly wrong to be transgender and that it has resultant mental issues when you pretend you’re the opposite sex/gender that God made you. We should not respect transgenderism, but we must love and respect transgenders.
So, I want to see more actions like this of people both young and old saying why they don’t want boys in girls’ sports and vice versa because transgenderism is entirely unacceptable. That would be a much clearer, helpful, loving, and more consistent message. And yes, our girls would be protected on the field too, as they deserve to be.
