How Should We Treat A Person Who Is Transgender?

With Great Love. The pain they are suffering may not be apparent, but it’s there.

God made women and men and we, as Christians, know that. When people become confused and seek to change that, it causes them great pain! And to deal with that, they need great love. Great love does not have to be given and received through sex. There are many, many ways to give and receive love! 🙂

Because we are a compassionate people, it’s very easy to get lost in the society that we live in. For example, how do we treat the transgender person who was operated on when he or she was a minor and now regrets that choice?

The answer is easy: With Great Love and Kindness! But the answers on some of their future activities are more complicated. For example, women’s sports. Imagine if a man had an operation at age 15 to become a woman. Should he/she play college supports as a woman? No.

God made that person a man for a reason. To play as a “woman” would continue the sin. A person who had transgender surgery as a minor may not be able to reverse that, but they also do not have to continue to sin by playing sports as a woman or getting married as one. Because God made them a man for a reason.

Some look at a 15 year old who had transgender surgery as a victim of child abuse. And I do to. It seems unfair that a 15 year old might pay the price for something that was done to them at age 15. It seems unfair. But life on earth isn’t always fair.

Childhood illnesses, childhood abuse, car accidents, poverty, drug addiction…often effect us for the rest of our lives. God does not say, go ahead and sin. God says, let me help you.

We all suffer. Some more so than others. But God is always there to Help us, if we let Him 🙂
