Why are Christians typically against people being trans?

Sin has brought into this world a wide range of mental illnesses and deformities, meaning "because God doesn't make mistakes" is certainly a silly argument, which is the only argument I've heard.

Romans chapter 3 verse 20

Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God's sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.

 

I don't dress like that, but I have someone in the apartment above me who does, he is very friendly.

Christians are typically opposed to a person being a transgender person because it comes awfully close to being homosexual.  Too close, actually.

There are all kinds of sins:  lies, stealing, blaspheming God, bitterness and hate, sexual sins, sins of the heart, sins of commission, and sins of omission.

I will only give you an answer from my perspective:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I believe the Bible when is says that God formed us all in the womb.  Actually, he was speaking to Jeremiah, personally, but to all of us indirectly.  Yes, some people are born with birth defects.  My brother is autistic and legally blind - from birth.  Did God make him that way.  I believe he allowed it to be.

I believe that when God created us in the womb, he gave us a gender - male or female.  Yes, there is the occasional mutation such as the intersexed [formerly called hermaphroditic where genitals are impossible to determine and gender is many times confusing]  But that is rare and for whatever reason, such as blindness or deafness, God always allows it.  He doesn't cause it, but like other birth defects caused by this fallen world, he allows it.

But for a male child who is born a fully functioning male and for girls - born fully functioning females - gender is NOT fluid.

For a man or woman to mutilate their bodies to undo the perfection that God has done to live in the opposite manner than he had deemed - I believe that is a sin.

It's not like a person born deaf and having surgery to hear.  It's not like a person born with no right leg and later being fitted with a prosthetic leg.

For the child born "normal" with normal endocrine systems, genitalia, pituitary gland, and more - whatever of the two genders that he or she is born with - that is what God intended.

I know that MANY, MANY of these people are in emotional pain and have mental trauma.  They need SOLID friends and family.  They need SERIOUS therapy.  They need MUCH prayer.  They need Jesus.

They do not need their bodies to be mutilated - genitals, chest area, hormone abuse, or any other superficial treatment.

Even with all that can be done, they are NOT a new gender.  They have not TRANS - gender succeeded.

Because of chromosomes and DNA,  they are still their original gender.  Just a mutilated one.

And the mutilation does not work.  There is still a very high suicide rate amongst these people despite the surgeries and acceptance from their community.

I do not hate these people.  I pray for them and ask God to ease their pain, confusion, and to keep bullies away from them.

Let me attempt to explain the issue of the title and topic to this statement, "because God doesn't make mistakes" back to you so you can comprehend the standpoint of Christianity about perversions. Yes, anything outside of the normal sexual intentions of God's will which is clear enough in His word is a form or perversity. What I'm saying is it's not in accordance with scripture. 

Now, if a person is born with a form of sexual ambiguity, having the evidential reproductive systems of one dominating over another, doctors will usually recommend a gender assignment. The problems that can arise as a result of this would be having a mistaken identification in chromosomal errors. Things can and do go badly in these instances, and personas intended have been destroyed as a result. 

If someone being born normal in physical form from birth grows up thinking they are born the incorrect sex, man wanting to be a woman - woman desiring masculinity, etc., a dreadful mishap could occur. Going through chemo hormonal changes and reassignment surgery to change gender is actually "playing God". Cases galore are medically documented where persons of either sex lived to regret their choices.

Even surgically reverting back to what the Lord intended them to be.

Man or woman. There is no "third sex". It is one or the other. But, birth defects happen.

Are you one of these confused persons? Are you also a Christian? Who is Jesus to you if I may ask?

God made Male and Female.   Therefore, each human life created that exits the womb is either heavier on the "Y" chromosome or the "X."   And even if a person is born as a functioning Male and changes their gender by operation, it still does not change the Chromosome Factor.   And whether a person agrees or disagrees with Medical Science, the Chromosome Factor is absolutely 100% infallible.   So a person can run far away from their genetics, but they can NEVER escape their genetics.  You are what you are "Biologically," not what you "THINK and FEEL" you are!

Yes they are called intersexed.  Much more common than most people know.  Often highly kept secret even from the individual born this way.  Often as a baby they remove female organs that are inside and do their best to make everything male on the outside.  It's the easier way to go. And then they keep it a secret from the kid.

No. Read my post below. 

Well it's above now depending on how you look at it.

Science has established that some people are born without a natural heterosexual orientation through no fault of their own.  Jesus does not condemn the same-sex sexual orientation.  In Matthew 19:12 the expression "eunuchs from birth" refers to men who from birth lack a natural sexual attraction to women.  Gays would be included under that category.

In humans, each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46. Twenty-two of these pairs, called autosomes, look the same in both males and females. The 23rd pair, the sex chromosomes, differ between males and females.Aug 4, 2020
