Have you ever become friends with someone
whose sense of humor was so much like yours that you often forgot that you were
not the same person? For me, that is “Ronnelle,” who works in automobile insurance. One night after our weekly book club; I made this statement to him.”You know I am waiting for you to
give me a controversial topic for my blog that almost everyone has an opinion
on.” As I should have known, Ronnelle’s
one word answer was just what I was looking for, “transgender.”
On the limited amount of knowledge I have on
transgender lifestyle, my opinion breaks down into this school of thought. I
would say most people in any religious (spiritual, denominational) community
would use a verse like Genesis 5:2 (VOICE) to be against transgender: He created them male and female; and after creating
them, God put a special blessing on them and named them “humanity.”Many
Christians would assume God put them in the gender body He wanted them in by
design, and on purpose. Could it also be (for those with transgender issues)
that God placed you in the “wrong” body to teach you some valuable life lesson?
Personally, I can’t
imagine what it would feel like your entire life that something isn’t quite
right. You wonder who the real you really is. Prayers to God to make you like
everyone else seemed to go unanswered.
You wonder if God is hearing your desperate prayers. I believe this
quote by Anon expresses how transgender people feel at the core of their being,” All I want to know no matter
what gender I am you’ll still love me like you did before.”
Luke 6:31 (VOICE) is
the gold standard on how to treat everyone on Earth. Think of the kindness you wish others would
show you; do the same for them. Are you doing it (without prejudice)? Please note to protect the identity of the real individual used in this story (on a sensitive topic); details have been altered.
