I've heard different arguments about this and such and my parents (Who are very religious Christians) strongly believe that transgender is a sin and they think it's disgusting and wrong or whatever. But... I'm transgender. They don't know of course and I'm terrified to tell them and I.. I don't know what to do. Because I honestly don't think it's a sin to be transgender... But I was wondering what other Christians think? And if you have anything to back up your thoughts? I can't talk to my parents because of how they are towards trans people...
I mean.. it never really says that transgender is a sin in the bible.
Because I know that a lot of people like to use
Deutoronomy 22:5 to say that it's a sin
(Women are not to wear men's clothing, and men are not to wear women's clothing; the Lord your God hates people who do such things.)
But then this chapter later goes on to say in v. 8
(When you build a new house, be sure to put a railing around the edge of the roof. Then you will not be responsible if someone falls off and is killed.)
V. 9
(Do not plant any crop in the same field with your grapevines; if you do, you are forbidden to use either the grapes or the produce of the other crop.)
V. 11
(Do not wear cloth made by weaving wool and linen together.)
V. 12
(Sew tassels on the four corners of your clothes)
Those were all laws of that time.. yet how many of those do we actually follow now? Like... People pick and choose certain verses in the bible in order to get their own opinion across rather than actually bothering to do research or even read the rest of the chapter.
Also there is the argument that Men are supposed to be Male and Women are supposed to be Female...As in Genesis 5:2
([God] created them male and female.)
That we have to be a certain way because we were born that way. And yea maybe, cause who are we to change what God had intended for us- but there is no mention of intersex people. Where do the people who don't seem to conform to one gender or the other because they were born that way fit in?
Then there's the other argument (kind of along the lines of the one above) that God made us specifically to his own design and that being transgender is... how to put it- uh.. like I've heard it said that "God doesn't make mistakes" meaning that no one is born with the wrong body. But... I don't know. Maybe it's not necessarily a mistake. Maybe I was in the wrong body on purpose. Maybe I was made this way. Maybe I was made to be transgender? Who really knows? I mean...Since God created our bodies and our minds isn't it possible that this is the way I'm supposed to be? He knows all things- He knew I would turn out this way so wasn't this what He had intended all along?
Sorry this is all so long but is there anyone who can help?
I'm just so confused on this issue and I don't know what I should do about my feelings?
I believe I am trasngender. But is it wrong? Is transgender a sin?
