San Fransico has long been noted as a town lacking in moral restraint. Now, residences of this town are being told they must fund sex-change operations. Actually, this is a misnomer. A person cannot change their sex. Their DNA remains the same. They can disguise their gender with cosmetic surgery, but that gender never changes.<\/p>\n

This is an extreme example of violating a principle God taught the Israelites: “A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the LORD your God<\/em>” (Deuteronomy 22:5). It is denial and rebellion against the God who made each person.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
