Question:<\/h2>\n

I’ll try to keep this short since you probably won’t post it to your website, but I am not<\/em> the asker of anything you’ve answered under the “Transgender” topic. However, I will say that I am a twenty-something “biologically female” Gemini who has had short hair since age 10, refusing to wear dresses from about that point on, and I am 99% positive I have Gender Identity Disorder as well as Attention Deficit Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Childhood Depression, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Asperger’s Syndrome. And there is nothing<\/em>\u00a0your stupid website can say to convince me otherwise, as these diagnoses were all found or suggested by people with degrees in Psychology. Nothing you can show me from the Bible will make me\u00a0stop believing\u00a0any of them, since\u00a0I\u00a0like<\/em>\u00a0having any label that gives me an excuse not to do the things I hate (i.e. raising snot-nosed, pants-pooping children, especially boys), and you\u00a0cannot<\/em>\u00a0take this justification away from me with anything you say! I am not on testosterone (yet), but if a doctor would prescribe it to me, I sure wouldn’t abstain from taking it!<\/p>\n

In addition to this, I am also a non-smoking, virgin teetotaler with no tattoos who averages maybe one cold every 18 months, if that, due to my extreme cleanliness and health-conscious ways. I consider myself too\u00a0clean<\/em>\u00a0to even befriend, let alone have sex with, a filthy, revolting\u00a0man<\/em>\u00a0because\u00a0no matter what you say<\/em>, all biological males\u00a0are dirtier than all biological females, transgendered or not. For that reason, the most\u00a0unnatural<\/em>\u00a0thing I could possibly\u00a0imagine would be to get pregnant with a disgusting\u00a0boy<\/em>, since I won’t even touch the grimy, dirty-nailed hand of an XY male child and would get an abortion ASAP if I got raped by one!!! So where do you get the notion that FtM women like myself “like to rough-house” or “don’t mind dirt?” We are actually\u00a0cleaner<\/em>\u00a0than any human beings on the face of the earth due to our lack of association with\u00a0men<\/em>, the more dirty gender. And why would a woman like me allow herself the possibility of raising a disgusting, snot-faced, frequently-ill, more-prone-to-birth-defects,\u00a0late-potty-training\u00a0boy<\/em>?!? I despise all men and refuse to date or even\u00a0talk to them, so how does this mean I “don’t mind dirt?” It is the straight girls who\u00a0marry<\/em>\u00a0dirt (i.e. men).<\/p>\n\t

Answer:<\/h2>\n

You are expressing your displeasure at the answer to\u00a0If a person feels they should be a different sex, didn’t God make a mistake?<\/a>\u00a0People are individuals and your case is presented as a typical woman would view things — a woman who never matured past the “I hate boys” stage of life. “A fool’s anger is known at once, …<\/em>” (Proverbs 12:16). Though you dress like a boy, you don’t think like a male or act like a male. For you, this pretense is simply a way to keep men out of your life. It is kind of ironic, since you want to pretend to be that which you declare you hate.<\/p>\n

“For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness<\/em>” (II Thessalonians 2:11-12).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You are determined to believe whatever gives you what you want. Truth and accuracy don’t make any difference to you. For that reason, you don’t listen to anyone unless they agree with you first. As Solomon noted long ago, “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man is he who listens to counsel<\/em>” (Proverbs 12:15). Come Judgment Day, remember that you freely picked this route for your life.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
