I agree....he has got the be the biggest D.A. that I have ever seen...and I am not talking a District Attorney....!
In the womb, every single human starts out as a woman. What happens in between a woman becoming a man is a series of complex biological changes. One of the first changes involves the formation of primary genitalia (testicles form before a penis does, since testicles are required to secrete male hormones), but even after that formation occurs, there's no guarantee that the transformation will go all the way.
It's medically possible, therefore, for a child to be born with male genitalia yet in many other ways be more a woman than a man, and vice versa. The latter is much less common (a woman feeling trapped in a man's body), and this is because female is the default human gender. Gender confusion is much more common in men because all men have undergone varying degrees of the biological transformation from being a woman, whereas people who look like women on the outside (who have female physical characteristics) likely haven't undergone any gender changes in the womb, or if they have, they're insignificant to the outcome. A great illustration of this is a genetic condition I recently learned about called androgen insensitivity, which means that in the womb, a woman has begun the transformation into a man, and testicles have developed in the cavity in the hips, but that person's body does not respond to the secretion of male hormones from those testicles. So, the child is born with undescended testicles, and with testosterone secretion levels that are typical of being male, yet the child, because of a total lack of biological response to those male hormone secretions, hasn't undergone any of the other changes associated with being male. They have a vagina, and upon puberty develop breasts, armpit hair, leg hair, pubic hair, and no facial hair, no widening of the jaw, no muscle bulking and no breaking of the voice. The undescended testicles continue to produce levels of male hormones that you would expect in males, but the body, because of a total lack of sensitivity to those male hormones, looks like it is female.
Generally, most women have some level of sensitivity to male hormones, and the female body will produce very small levels of those hormones. In androgen insensitive humans, there is no response to those hormones at all. This means the woman will have no outward male characteristics at all. She'll have ovaries, a womb, and she'll probably be stunningly beautiful, too. Estrogen (the famale hormone) is responsible for the female characteristics we men tend to find most attractive (full breasts, wide hips, a very feminine face, blushing, flawless skin and healthy hair and nails).
Technically, that person will feel totally like a woman, she'll look totally like a woman, and she'll be able to reproduce like a woman, but given that her body contains levels of male hormone that are similar to those found in human males, if her body did not have a complete insensitivity to androgen she would most definitely have been born a man.
Gender isn't just about what genitalia a person has; it more often has to do with a combination of hormone balances and levels of hormone sensitivities, self-perception, and outward physical characteristics.
Transgender people are mentally ill and need therapy and psychiatric medication (and the Gospel!) not surgery. Even after surgery a significant number of them end up committing suicide. We are not helping these mentally ill people by humoring their dangerous delusions.
I'd say most of those suicides are precisely because people call them deluded, sick and crazy.
Four year old: "Mommy, I feel like a woman, not a man". Imagine how tough that feeling must be to deal with in a four year old, just on its own, without all the other social problems a kid has got. Then hear the response:
"Don't be silly. You're a boy. Stop that talk". His own parents won't even listen to him! My, my, parents that refuse to hear you as a genuine human. That's gotta be hard. How can you ever trust them with your honesty again?? Then see society's reponse:
"Yuck, look at the she-male". "Oh, he must be sick". "Get away from me, you wierdo!"
No friends, no family, nobody who understands you. Gender dysphoria and social leprosy. Certainly sounds like a recipe for suicide.
Maybe you should have some empathy.

A lie that destroys the supposed premise of every word your wrote thereafter.
All babies do not start off as a girl in the mother's womb. Here are the facts:
Women only produce X chromosomes. Men produce both X and Y chromosomes. XX = female and XY = male. When a ovum (X) is fertilized by a man's Y sperm a boy baby is conceived. When the ovum (X) is fertilized by a man's X sperm a girl baby is conceived.
So the sperm that fertilizes the ovum determines if the child is male or female. The woman is unable to determine the gender of the baby. During conception there is a 50% chance of creating a boy and a 50% chance of creating a girl but either way it all depends on whether a Y sperm gets to the ovum first to fertilize it OR an X sperm reaches the ovum first.
Gender is complete at the moment of fertilization (conception) and then the baby (whether male or female) continues to grow and develop in the mother's uterus (womb).
Your lies to defend the false "science" and "psychology" behind transgendered people's self-justification earns you a WTMIL. And I noted your utter failure to include information about suicide among post-transgendered five years beyond surgery. It is eight times higher than those who are pre-surgical procedure. The "conversion" doesn't resolve their personal issues. The real issue is their inability to accept how they were born. It has nothing to do with "being born in the wrong body."

You're oversimplifying sex, and confusing it with gender. All foetuses have female characteristics to start with. If there's no Y chromosome in the embryo, the embryo will continue to be female. If there's a Y chromosome, testosterone begins to be secreted, but not everybody's body is equipped to respond to it properly. As per the above example, if the feotus is androgen insensitive (could be slightly, or totally), the testosterone has little or no effect, and female characteristics continue to develop, sometimes alongside male ones.
It's possible for a person to be born physically looking like a woman, but to be chromosomally, a man.

There are also sexual polosomies, and monosomies. For instance, people can be born with 47 chromosomes instead of 45. They can have two, or three pairs of sex chromosomes, sometimes in different combinations. Normally, people born with a penis and testicles are 45XY, and people born with a vagina are 45XX, but that's not always the case.
People can be born 45XX and have male characteristics, they can be born 45XY and have female characteristics. They can be born 47XXX, 47XXY, 47XYY, 47YYY.
Sidenote: It's also statistically highly improbable that every ejaculation contains a perfect 50:50 distribution of healthy sperm (50% Y and 50% X).

Right there is the lie of the left and particularly the secular humanist agenda it embraces. Sex and gender are the same thing. Nothing you can do will change how God creates a human being. Androgynous individuals included, every human being genetically is physically a male of female. God doesn't make mistakes. Physical anomalies are challenges to shape an individual to rely on God. Psycholgoical issues are really spiritual issues, and demand an outreach to God to resolve. The rest of your post is the same kind of LGBT propaganda that was included in your first, and is still from the same pile of crap as that one was. This in particular:
... is the biggest lie of all. It isn't the "characteristics" that determine gender. It is the DNA. That is determined at conception. The sex organs don't make an appearance until the 10th week, but they are dictated by what the DNA encoding said from Day One.
Another lie. The gender was determined at conception. There is no "continuing to develop" as a female. If there are two XX chromosomes in the fertilized egg, it is a female from conception. If an X and a Y, it is a male from conception. You are doing nothing more than trying to tell a "big lie" on behalf of the LGBT propagandists in hopes of getting it accepted as truth. It isn't.
So you're saying I'm a lesbian? On another note, its interesting that you refer to peeps in the womb as human when all other times liberals refer to them as fetuses.
So genetic deformities and severe mental retardations, and babies who survive just minutes after birth? These are all on purpose?
If this is the case, then how do you explain people who have had no sexual surgery, but have vaginas, breasts, high pitched voices, no facial hair, no penis, are unmistakably women on the outside, yet have an XY (male) sex chromosome?
Since your definition of being "male" or "female" is that a male is XY, and a female is XX, this person must be a man, yet they reside in a woman's body. Explain how that fits into your "nobody is trapped inside anything" hypothesis?

So again does any of this mean a person cannot obey God? No ... No excuse for perversion and deviant behavior except the evident fact that we are all sinners and need to overcome by Gods grace.

Anyone ever heard of "Body integrity identity disorder"? Its apparently a disorder where people feel like they have too many limbs.They feel their life would be better if they had less limbs.Of course no doctor will actually do this.From Wiki... BIID can be associated with apotemnophilia, sexual arousal based on the image of one's self as an amputee .It is treated with drugs and counseling.But no doctors will agree to amputate limbs.So I have to ask,why is this treated as a disorder of the mind and transgenders are not? Thoughts?

You know what if they claim to find a gene for criminals or child molesters ... must we now accept whatever wickedness folks claim their genes or DNA says?
my genes say I'm imperfect and a sinner! Does that mean I should just accept that I'm a sinner and go be "who my genes tell me I am"? Paul would sucker punch me with grace and say MAY IT NOT BE SO!
