When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God. Genesis 5:1

This verse sounded like another verse

When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. Genesis 5:3

We mirror God when we have kids. The ability to have kids is an immutable characteristic of God in us that wasn't destroyed (for everyone) during the fall. My heart goes out to the women who can't have kids but want to ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Having kids is an awesome partnership we get with God. Also, without kids we kinda just live for ourselves forever which is kinda sad to think about.

This really convicted me and may have changed my mind on if I want kids or not lol 😅

Lol I'm still scared of having kids because I could mess them up. But I guess as long as I trust God he'll take care of it.✝️💜🚼🫂

Maybe death just looks beautiful to some people.

💀🥀⛓️🩸🔪

We as humans are just fascinated with death from the movie we watch to the songs we listen too.

"Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope."

( 1 Thessalonians 4:13)

Death can be a beautiful thing if it brings us closer to God.

This is such an interesting concept. The fact that we lie to ourselves about who we are to make ourselves feel better.

If you haven't read the Picture of Dorian Gray you really should. I tackled it one summer and it's a really easy read.

Ego is something I have personally struggled with and have really caught over the years.

This book put that in a disturbing context and made it enjoyable to watch play out at the same time.

I've had to learn when to say I'm wrong (which has taken some work), doubting myself (not in the self-deprecating way)turned out to be most helpful.

I'm obviously still working on this 💟

(I'm going to stop allowing anonymous asks)

This is literally just a personal attack. Telling me to shut up without any good argument is a tad bit unreasonable. Also this is the internet where people disagree all the time.

If you wish not to see opposing opinions and do not seek adversity for your beliefs then please block me and move on.

I choose not to block those people because I want someone to form a case that actually tears down my beliefs. I am only made stronger in them when people cannot attack them.

(I love how you attack me as a bad Christian with no proof, I'm not saying anything about your character here but I will say your ask seems soaked in bigotry)

Just gonna leave this here:

(also Emma was pretty close, that's a bit scary 😬. I don't know if that is meant to be an insult or just a name)

I can also say anecdotally that being on estrogen has been far more helpful than the cocktail of SSRIs, Stimulants, and Antipsychotics I've been made to take since I was 11. And I know that being on puberty blockers instead would have spared me a lot of pain

I imagine you're going to pretend you're against all those medications for children too. Even though it's far more widespread and harmful, it's clearly a lower priority to you. And you're going to continue credulously qouting the same psych industry that doles out those meds numbers on diagnosable gender dysphoria.

Either way as shitty as you are I hope you find happinees some day. I mean performative Christian whose obssessed with us, come on, we've all seen where this goes before.

Until that day stop shitting up our tags, I'm trying to look at nice posts on my lunch break.

So this person is saying people who are in the closet also commit suicide, because they couldn't come out and be themselves. (I believe that's what they are saying). I agree that is probably true. And I am not saying trans people commit suicide because they are trans people. I am saying they commit suicide because they struggle and I think we need to help them not only by transitioning them but offering counseling and such. It is simply a fact, I am not attempting to weaponize it, against trans people but rather people who say cis people are just jealous.

Now please do not be offended by my response.

Was it hard to get put on estrogen? Were you diagnosed with gender dysphoria? What was it like to get put on estrogen? I disagree that puberty blockers are a good thing. I still don't think children can consent.

If you're 18 I have no qualms with your transition. I don't applaud you as a hero. But I'll let you live your life. I don't think being trans is really a big deal. Unless it is a child who has yet to go through puberty.

You bring up a good point with the other medication kids can be on

Those medications for children: SSRIs ( anti depressants I believe), stimulants, and anti psychotics. The reason I am somewhat okay with those for kids is because they do not change your body's function or structure on a physical scale to such a great extent as puberty blockers. (Ex: they do not change your bone density ect..) I wish kids didn't have to be on them (anti depressants and such), but sometimes their situations call for it. That should be a medical choice that involves a professional and their parents.

Another thing on that point is: no one is glorifying their mass amount of medication. (Well some are but not the extent of people glorifying being trans)

We can probably both agree being trans is a difficult journey. That is why it is not fit for a child.

I do not enjoy being called a performative Christian. I don't care how you judge me but rather how God would.

Isaiah 56:1 (NIV)

“This is what the Lord says: “Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed.”

Here are my beliefs layed out for you to attack as you please;

I disagree with transition as a Christian (that means I will not transition myself or encourage it). But I believe from a legal standpoint adults have the right to do as they please to their bodies. Children do not because they are underaged.

I believe your best point was about the use of other drugs on children. But you still failed to actually defend your case as a whole. You have mainly attacked my character. Which isn't really what invalidates an idea.

I would also like to know what it is like for you to be on estrogen. If you don't respond that's fine, if you would just tell me about it in an "ask" I won't respond publicly to it. I am genuinely just curious.

Thank you for your ask ♥️

Trans people do exist. I'm not denying that. But they do have by definition an ideology and an agenda.

Some of their ideals for example (correct me if I'm wrong): anyone can be any gender, anyone can transition, ect...

An ideology isn't a bad thing in itself the trans movement ideology are what I disagree with on a general scale. I don't deny that people suffer from gender dysphoria and I don't disagree they should be given medical attention (once they are 18, because children cannot consent)

I have an ideology as a Christian. Some examples of that ideology are: that everyone is created in God's image, ect...

The term ideology is a neutral term, to have an ideology is not bad. You can disagree with certain ideologies of course. Such as you may disagree with my Christian one.

The trans movement has an agenda. That is to: make a world where anyone can be comfortable changing their gender and everyone will respect that. I obviously disagree with this agenda.

Again agenda is a neutral term. That can be applied to any belief system so it is not transphobic language.

Yes, it isn't your job to explain to me your existence. But if you would like to feel free. I am not threatening your existence. Being trans isn't what makes you human, having a soul does whether that soul is male or female, black or white I don't care. You are a human being.

Also to bring up bigotry again.

You have only attacked my character by calling me conservative and a fascist but have failed to tell me why I am wrong. You don't have to tell me why I'm wrong but if you don't change my mind I will continue to spit my conservative views.

So thank you for your question but I still stand in my belief. Telling me simply to shut up because I shouldn't question people is a tad bit silly. Seems like something a bigot would say.

Again if you wish to answer my questions feel free. To sum this up: I don't deny you exist I merely believe your ideology (which you do have) is toxic and causes confusion among young people. Thank you.

I may not be owed any answers but I think you owe it to your community to defend them. I will honestly listen to you. I don't hate trans people and I find your post a bit rude but I still genuinely just want to hear your answers to some tough questions.

The reason I brought up suicide rates was because it is a fact. Trans people are dying because they struggle and that breaks my heart.

I responded with this fact to a comment saying (I'm paraphrasing here) "people who oppose the transitioning of children are unhappy and jealous" this was an ad hominem fallacy that is statistically false. Suicide rates in trans people is a sad thing but it is reality, and no one talks about it.

What I get at is people: who are trans suffer from something called gender dysphoria

But we are seeing spikes in this. It makes me uneasy to see the romanisation of a disorder, which is very real and serious.

This person instead of trying to educate me on why my arguments are invalid just blocked me. I'm not calling them a bully. I understand I probably didn't come across very politely since I disagreed with them. They didn't come across politely to me either but I seriously want to have a civil debate over this topic because the propaganda is everywhere.

Now to shock you, I am not calling them a bully but I am going to say this person is a bigot.

This person couldn't reasonably answer my question. This person blocked because they did not want to argue their point of view. Sounds like you are soaked in bigotry. (*Not* because you're trans but because you aren't looking outside yourself)

I am willing to listen if you would just tell me. But you are unwilling to listen to me. So do not call me a bigot. While you refuse to even talk to me.

Harass me all you want but I stick to my belief even in the face of adversity.

The only reasonable response I've gotten

They sent me another message which I will post a response to soon

So you want to be a boy? So your gender is a choice. So instead of loving who you are you seek to change yourself hoping it will fix your problems? *cough* social contagion *cough*

I used to think I was trans. Someone asked me these questions and I realized my body image issues. I *wanted* to be a boy because I thought it would make me happy. Spoiler I had to learn to accept myself.

Look I mean no hate, I just have some serious issues with telling people they are in the wrong body and need to fix themselves.

This person has now blocked me because I disagreed with them, and they lacked so much faith in their own ideas I never got a response to any of my questions. So if anyone wants to answer my question in my last post feel free I won't censor you.

Disagreement does not equal hate.
