6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

We who LOVE the creator do not REJECT his ability to create us the way we are.
Ok, when I was in college an interesting "guy" who was VERY intelligent was my tutor. I had nothing against him teaching me to do this and that in a fairly difficult math class. He often seemed like he wanted to talk in a "feminine way" rather than in a "masculine way". Now, being near a guy that would have been more masculine would have spelled "moral disaster" in college years (yeah, that type of stuff). In college, students have a hard time discerning right from wrong unless they are fully redeemed.
However, as time went on I discovered that he did in fact describe himself as "transgender."
This didn't surprise me. I knew about this through internet social connections.
He was quite an intelligent and popular guy.
I still support him for having a "feminine nature" (this isn't always the enemy) or "being intelligent and caring".....like many female's attempt to be caring in some way or another.
But the problem is THIS. THERE ARE WOMEN WHO HAVE WICKED HEARTS! (There IS a reason I need to put this in capital letters!)
So simply "imitating" a female nature or having a female nature doesn't fix the problem in the heart of a man. There are cases where there are different tones and shades of masculinity and femininity....as a genetic, hormonal man, but assuming to take on the role of female will NOT make a man GOOD in the eyes of the creator and redeemer! (there are many examples of females not doing right in God's eyes right from the scripture and right from examples in our world.)
I could not maintain friendship connections with him, not because of his condition of calling himself "transgender" but because of his support for things that are not TRUTH in accordance to the behavior of FEMALES in general! Furthermore, he decided it was "normal" to mock the family, even the all-natural.....no vaccination.....family.....(which liberal belief people often subscribe to more natural family raising methods because of their desires for enhanced research).
So in essence, how to approach the issue of "transgender" without sounding like you "hate" people who make unusual sexuality choices? As the bible says clearly: Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
1. Show them the truth about what you believe in the bible. Show them how BOTH males and females did not do right with their patterns of behavior as far as sexuality and moral choices were concerned, but God's redeeming love was still there. (For example Sarah and Abe story is pretty good start......then go into stories like Samson)
2. Point out that things that are unnatural are not biblically ok.....unless it is an issue like the parable of the "good Samaritan" and a man actually needs a physician to save their life. Sexuality does NOT save the life of a man......or woman.
3. Point out that it is NATURALLY ok to have "feminine traits" as a man (kindness, gentleness, silence etc) and that it is NATURALLY ok to do things with healthcare without the aid of other men or women.
4. You could go as far as pointing out that it is ok to have "brotherly love," but a person is NOT a Christ-follower if they support things that are in essence in opposition to God's laws (sodomite life style etc)
5. Point out the difference between sexual-purity vs. sexual-impurity.....as shown in the scripture. Jesus himself confronted Capernea and said it was WORSE than Sodom and Gomorrah....because of their unbelief! So sexual purity actually BEGINS with belief.
6. Point out that the issue of "mocking" and "scorning" is actually what ended up putting Christ on the Cross.....so if this issue is in a man or woman.....(like gossip) then that person needs to repent of THAT first......before even discussing sexuality issues.
7. If the person is not transgender, but "supports" such a thing, like the belief that a man can naturally "breast feed" if given right psychological stimulation, that person isn't necessarily WRONG. They only become wrong when they support things that are "unnatural" and make things political to the point of exterminating people who would rather live "down-to-earth" and concern self with reality......and simple living.
If they refuse to listen to you after you have confronted them, then "shake the dust off of your feet" and move on in your life. Continue to live for Jesus and share gospel. They will STILL have to face the creator and redeemer, even if they are WRONG about the bible teachings. They might hate you. Say false things about you. Invade your privacy and look up all the "bad things" about you because you showed them the TRUTH......and the TRUTH is very simple.....but don't worry about THEIR hatred.....you showed them the reality of what happens when people don't listen. You can only worry about what your heart condition happens to be.
Unfortunately in these end times people ARE VERY CONFUSED about how to identify their role in the kingdom! Sadly a record number of YOUNG CHILDREN are INDOCTRINATED by caregivers and parents to force unnatural remedies to these conditions! Medical establishments that "give in" to these treatments are no different and no better than historical medical centers that gave patients "cigarettes" to cure their addictions to tobacco!
Sadly, many transgender people become suicidal. Not because of their "condition" of being more feminine if a male......or being more masculine as a female......but because of their failure to IDENTIFY with "the way the truth and the life"!!! They may have grown up in a very strict religion environment where the men have to be around the men....and women have to be around the women to prevent sexual impurity..... which this may or not be the issue that causes there desire to "rebel" from the truth. By supporting them in their transgender condition, they become suicidal! They do not become suicidal because of bullying....but because of their lack of proper ways to identify themselves......in accordance to God's HOLY BIBLE and in accordance to what is true about nature itself!
Suicidal conditions are often found in people who do not have "healthy relationship" practices in general! So the pattern of supporting sexual-impurity.....leads men (and women too) to early death!
John 3:16 is the truth.......and that is that.
Ephesians 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
2 Peter 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
2 Peter 2:18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
