My uncle went on a rant that god made people think they were transgender as a test to see if they would choose him. I asked "What if god made those people transgender to test if YOU would be nice to them?"
I'm not invited to his house anymore.
Congrats, his house sounds like a place to avoid.
This sounds like an absolute win
You won twice
Your uncle went, "logic? In this house of mine? Heavens, no."
I really don't care about the opinions of people who configure their entire lives around a Mass Delusional/ Torture/ Cannibalism/ Human Sacrifice/ Zombie Death Cult, led by an Imaginary Friend, who always needs money, for some reason.
I'm not Christian, but from what I've read of Jesus, he'd want us to love and respect trans folk. You know, along with the widow, the orphan, the disabled, the foreigner and so on.
What the bible shows us is that hatred of the other, to the point of violence, is an old, old problem, and we actually have to put effort into exercising tolerance.
I learned this stuff from Sesame Street and Saturday-morning cartoons in the 1970s, a message that seems to have been lost since.
No if. Putting if in there excuses those who don't believe in a sky figure.
Just don't call transgender people mentally ill.
Ok. Good.
Carry on.
Gender dysphoria and other dysphoria CAN be the result of illness, and CAN go away once said illness (like depression for example) is treated.
A religious upbringing however will almost always result in deep mental (and often physical) scars and should be considered child abuse.

Really matters what kind of religious upbringing.
Although, to be fair: I want my foreskin back, bruh :'(
A cult demanded my foreskin be removed in infancy and I'm not very cool with that.
Mental Illness is a pretty vague thing to define. My general understanding is that it's anything that would prevent someone from living a full and productive life, the individual can form friendships, relationships, maintain healthy romantic relationships if they want, work a job, have dreams and aspirations, generally make plans, take care of themselves and their hygiene, and so on. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The issue is that mental illness is really a disorder and is something clinically significant. The reason we don't categorise gender incongruence or homosexuality as a disorder is because neither of them necessarily meet that criteria - the main issue really being how society treats them. Trans people can have gender dysphoria which can be a clinically significant symptom of incongruence, but it isn't something specific to trans people - cis people can experience gender dysphoria, such as men with gynecomastia who can experience the same kind of persistant distress about their body not entirely matching their gender.
There are some arguments on both sides to argue that gender dysphoria is a mental illness or disorder but the whole point is that not every trans person experiences it. Other aspects of depression, anxiety etc. leading to self-harm are disorders but can be caused by society bullying, harassing, legislating against their existance and generally marginalising and discriminating when they wouldn't necessarily have that issue otherwise
Yeah what's external from the body and mind of an individual is a whole other story aka the society in which they are in. It's sometimes a dangerous perspective but I do tend to see issues more so as technological issues. With this circumstance it's not an issue I see with an individual that they feel they don't match their body but that our technology is so limited that we can't change form as easily as we change clothes. The illness or lacking isn't an aspect of the individual but in our current technological abilities as a species. With sufficient technology any will should be unbounded so long as it is not causing needless and avoidable suffering to another sentient being. If for instance we can upload a mind and inhabit a virtual space then we may achieve this sooner than we think. In what we consider "actual" or "physical" reality, it's going to take a lot more time and effort.
Imagine being a Christian believing in an all knowing creator and thinking God mistakenly made trans people.... Like have you never read genesis. Eve was cloned and transitioned in the first few paragraphs .
Sincerely a guy who believes in the teachings of Christ.
Yeah I see what sub this is in but you won't defeat "Christian hate" with dismissal.
Strong religious belief is certainly some form of mental disorder, regardless of anything else.
My uneducated guess is it’s a form of narcissism in the sense that it gives people a reason to not take responsibility for their actions and not have accountability for the things that happen to them.
~It’s all a part of God’s plan. /s~
Hey, this is a great place to figure out which deranged religious cunts to block. If you do everything your shitty invisible friend says, raise your hand. Then stick it so far up your ass that you tickle the place where your frontal lobe should be
I just call Evangelicals devil worshipers. Conservative "Christians" sold their soul to the Devil by embracing hate. They love hate more than they love God. If you worship hate, you're worshiping the Devil. Their religion is fundamentally evil.
People out here really believing in sky daddy
There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
