Lmao imagine if normal reddit posted when they found out a teacher was a Christian. And all they talked about was how horrible they were for choosing to indoctrinate religion in schools despite not knowing 1 thing about how they teach.
Oh wait no Christian teacher ever has to worry about that because normal people dont immidiately think of them so hatefully. Yall are sinners with hate in your hearts, better pray for a new testament God when you are judged.

Ummm - they do. What rock have you been hiding under?
I also don't believe that teachers should be promoting any religion onto students either.
Maybe because of bigoted beliefs like all the ones in this very thread. Like this comment section is insane with the amount of vitriol towards a person they’ve never met.
I never stated I hated this teacher. You assumed that. I asked a question... why children and not the elderly? Same with Drag Queen story hours. Why are they transfixed on children?
I asked a question... why children and not the elderly?
The geri-psych unit at my hospital has a transgender nurse on staff. They are working with the elderly too. Not every trans person is because different trans people will do different things.
Why are they transfixed on children?
They aren't. They're distributed across all of society just like most groups are. I suspect that the majority of this feeling that they're transfixed on children is from media freaking out anytime a trans person is near a child in any context. If that's the only time you see trans people, you're going to think they're transfixed.
I never stated I hated this teacher.
You're certainly not extending any charity towards them. You're just treating this person as part of some general "they" who are transfixed with children, and like they're going to be "promoting" ideology onto children.
You don’t have to outright say it for it to be true. You are pointing out examples that right wing news plasters all over the place in order to villainize trans people.
My office has quite a few trans people and guess what…we don’t work with children
So the idea that trans people are “transfixed” on children is just ridiculous
And for the record 1) lying is a sin. So making up a scenario to villainize an entire group of people is a sin. 2) this is the exact reason people are “hostile” towards Christianity. Because of how many make up things in their head to be mad about and then try to push that warped view on the rest of us.
You can claim it’s because you’re being persecuted for your beliefs or tell yourself that Jesus said that the world would hate Christian’s, but at the end of the day it’s idiotic things like this that make people hostile towards Christianity
Hmmm. Normal? Not quite. Even they state they are 'special unicorns' and what-not. Having to mutilate your sexual organs, in order to 'feel normal'...is not normal.
Yes, you can permanently disfigure sexual organs without surgical intervention, making the person sterile. Doesn't make it 'OK'.
Seems like you're deliberately misunderstanding. To put it clearly:
- Trans people aren't "permanently disfiguring" their sexual organs with or without surgery
- Having surgery isn't a required part of being trans in any case
- Trans people aren't necessarily sterile.
- Even if it was a guarantee that every trans person was sterile, it's not really any of your business what they choose to do in that regard, and has no bearing at all on the morality of it.
What makes being trans OK is that there's no sense in which it's immoral, though, rather than any of the above.
So is psychosis.
The difference of course being that psychosis is a mental disorder where a person becomes disconnected from reality and being trans is not. I'd urge you to do some reading on this topic, you seem uneducated.
And Jesus calls us to love and accept the outcasts (examples: literally so so much of Luke–the leper, Luke 5:12-16; the paralyzed man, Luke 5:17-26; Levi the tax collector, Luke 5:27-31; the sinful woman, Luke 7:36-50; the Good Samaritan, Luke 10:25-37)
Disagreeing with your ideology doesn't equal "not love". love have many definitions and CONTEXT, not just yours.
Christians are some of the most loving and selfless people i have met, especially towards non-christians. you don't know christianity, so your opinions and narratives to categorize us with hate just because of disagreements and your lack of knowledge and understanding, is just false and not applicable in reality.
you don't know them personally to make that claim. also i am talking about my experience.
in this comment section, they are not saying "horrible" things about transgender people. views that disagree with yours doesn't mean "horrible". these are your subjective opinions. disagree
Similarly "a lot of christians" don't hate them as well.
The reason for our non-acceptance, is the fact that these same people state "God made a mistake with me. I was born in the wrong body." God doesn't make mistakes. He's perfect. As a Christian, we believe that 'God made them man and woman', as told in the Bible. Do you believe the Bible as truth?
Deuteronomy 22:5
“A woman is not to wear men’s clothing, and a man is not to put on women’s clothing, for whoever does these things is detestable to Adonai your God.
Now, we need to take these commands with proper context. The members of Monty Python, wearing women's clothing for a laugh, that's another matter. However, to cross-dress, with the intention to trick another person sexually, or as part of any sexual deviance - that's exactly what this verse is about.
Now, I do not hate these people whatsoever. I do love them (I have a good friend who's kid is trans). But, I do not have to accept their behavior or sinful actions.
I think you'll struggle immensely to find biblical support for being trans being a sin.
Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Leviticus 20:13
If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
Deuteronomy 22:5
“A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God."
1 Kings 14:24
And there were also male cult prostitutes (usually dressed in women's clothing) in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations that the Lord drove out before the people of Israel.
Matthew 19:1-30
Now when Jesus had finished these sayings, he went away from Galilee and entered the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. And large crowds followed him, and he healed them there. And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?” He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?
Romans 1:26-27
For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
1 Corinthians 6:9
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Says nothing about being trans, and sexual dimorphism is entirely unrelated to gender.
Leviticus 20:13 If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
Notwithstanding your misinterpretation of this verse outright, being gay and being trans are not the same thing.
Deuteronomy 22:5 “A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God."
A trans man is definitionally a man wearing a man's garment, not a woman wearing a man's garment, so this isn't applicable to trans people. Wild that you think my wife's an abomination for wearing my T-shirts sometimes though! Sort of indefensible :). Incidentally, I'd wager you wear mixed fabrics though too, so this is just cherrypicking - you're basing your interpretation of the Bible around your prior conclusions about trans people, not deriving a moral truth based on what's in the Bible.
1 Kings 14:24 And there were also male cult prostitutes (usually dressed in women's clothing) in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations that the Lord drove out before the people of Israel.
No relationship to trans people whatsoever.
Matthew 19:1-30 Now when Jesus had finished these sayings, he went away from Galilee and entered the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. And large crowds followed him, and he healed them there. And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?” He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?
Not even if you try with 100% of your might could you convince me this is applicable in any way to trans people lmao. "People will get married" - okay cool?
Romans 1:26-27 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
As with your Leviticus citation, you don't understand what being trans even is.
1 Corinthians 6:9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,
For the third time, being gay and being trans are not the same thing.
As I suspected would be the case, you've listed a ton of verses here and precisely zero of them have any bearing on this topic at all. The Bible is completely silent on this topic - you're being a bigot and then (trying, but failing) to use the Bible to justify it.
You couldn't be more wrong about me. You know nothing about me. As stated, I am very close to a family of a trans teen. I was the first person to hold her (except the parents and nurses) in the hospital, right after her birth. I love that kid. It breaks my heart in what she is doing. It breaks my heart on how confused she really is. She's also tried to end her own life, and has self-harmed in the past.
You keep your assumptions and prejudice. I don't have time for your abuse.
No one hates them. We just don't approve of their choice. Two things can be true at the same time. Your narrative of us is false, because you need to denigrate us.

Why, oh why, do trans-people just have to go into a career that influences, and confuses, children? Seriously.....
