Is transsexualism against God's law?

Question

Disclaimer: this question in no way represents anything I believe regarding transsexualism. I ask only because I saw another user suggest that transsexualism is against God's law so I wanted to ask the community at large if they consider this true.

If you answer "yes", please cite Biblical passages to support your position. Be specific, please. I don't want vague or generalized passages.

Thank you.

poetic1, thank you for that scripture, but I didn't ask about transvestism, I asked about transsexualism. There's a difference. Does the Bible say anything about transsexualism?

Danny H, what is your scriptural basis? And does this logic extend to amputation, appendectomy, resetting broken bones, rebuilding mangled faces, etc? I'm not trying to be difficult, I honestly want to know.

Answer 1

Yes. So is getting a scratch, being clothed, and cutting your hair, according to Danny's version. Sorry, Danny. Your response is a little scary.

The passage utilized most often is from Deut. 22:5 "A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman's garment; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God." (this, of course, has naught to do with transsexualism, but the Bible is often a harvest for the little bees).These passages (abbreviated) follow:

* Don't take a mother bird from her nest.

* Put a rail around your roof so no one falls off.

* Don't plant crops with vines.

* Don't hitch oxen and donkeys together.

* Don't wear cloth combined of wool and linen.

* Sew tassels on four corners of clothes.

* If a man marries a girl, but later doesn't want her and claims she wasn't a virgin, her parents are to bring blood stained wedding sheet to the leaders, who are to beat him and make him give 500 silver pieces to the father, and he can't divorce her. If the husband's claims are true, she's to be stoned to death at the entrance to her father's house.

*Men who have sex with others' fiancees are to be killed along with the fiancee. However, if it happens in the country, you should just kill the man, since no one could have heard the woman cry out. Raping single girls requires payment of 50 silver pieces to her father and marriage with no divorce.

*No sex with any of father's wives.

*He whose testicles are crushed or whose male member is cut off shall not enter the assembly of the LORD.

So, I guess Deut.22:5 proves nothing more than everyone is going to hell, regardless of their faith and praise. Why go on being content or happy? I wish I could find you another biblical quote, but they are all as illogical as the ones above and say absolutely nothing about transsexuality (which, according to some, is the same as cross-dressing. I alway thought it was genuinely about feeling that one is the wrong gender. I stand corrected).

Any of y'all who think transsexuality is against God's law ever seen "Boys Don't Cry"? Did you agree that Brandon should have been raped, beaten, and murdered? Or is that up to God to decide?

Sorry, Zero. There are no Bible quotes to support the idea that transsexuality is against God's law, or any law for that matter.

Being gay isn't a sin expensive, practising homosexuality and actual having intercourse is a sin. there are literally hundreds of Muslim homosexuals who've capability of will. I stay in Iran and that i'm Iranian myself and that i do purely not agree that gays might desire to be killed. in the beginning, gays are actually not killed. Who is conscious the variety you experience? purely sodomites are killed. so a techniques as i'm in contact heterosexuals who commit adultery are ordered in Islam to be stoned, notwithstanding if, a sodomite can repent. you won't be in a position to repent being gay because of the fact it is who you're. you won't be in a position to alter that, yet while by any possibility all and sundry practices sodomy, then he might desire to repent, yet not killed. if certainty be told, the only sin that's purely not forgiven is shirk. i don't know why Muslims are so narrow minded and that i'm speaking approximately maximum Muslims which contain Iranians. I actual have not something against transsexualism. you won't be in a position to discover a single verse interior the Quran against it, because of the fact that's purely been conceivable with the form of technologies. It did not even exist interior the classic situations. How can one supply fatwas approximately it? How can all and sundry say that's haram or halal? yet, i think of human beings shouldn't replace their gender and gays might desire to be huge-unfold as modifications in God's creation. i think of transsexualism is a sturdy element once you're an unusual man or woman and it impacts your existence. you recognize there are some people who're men yet appear as if women human beings and vice versa. it is many times cured, so why not use it? i don't know any healthful men or females who might do one among those element except they have severe issues. technologies is on the industry to help us. Be open-minded.

Sexuality is so much more complex than the "married man and woman in the missionary position only for procreation" mumbo-jumbo that fundamentalist Christians and Muslims tout

Take for example a hermaphrodite. These children are born with both a penis and ovaries. For years doctors have conducted "rehabilitative" surgery to through the scalpel turn these babies into "girls." However, many have turned out to be psychologically boys.

Sexuality is composed of AT LEAST the following elements, and anything we can do to help people adjust to them is a good thing:

sex of gonads (apparent organs)
sex of chromosomes
sexual identity (boy or girl or trans)
sexual orientation (straight, gay, or bisexual)
sexual behavior (elements of masculinity and femininity)
sex roles (drawn to typically masculine or feminine social role)
sexual arousal (particulars in what arouses a person)

Anyone who assumes that there is only one particular way for a person to be hasn't considered that there are many possibilities, and human beings are created with all of these in any combination or variation.

Answer 4

Deuteronomy, chapter 22, verse 5:

22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment; for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.

self explanatory.

Answer 5

I find it interesting that you are asking about God's law when I just read in another question that you said there are no Gods. Why do you care? By the way, you are partially correct. There are no gods, just one God and He created you with specific intricacy for His purpose. He loves you and longs to know you. Your God-shaped void will never be filled by anything else but Him - I hope you choose to seek Him (and quiet your curiosity) and not turn your back. Search your heart.

Answer 6

I am posting an answer that I used on a similar question. I'm simply reposting it here.

By definition, it is immoral to undergo those procedures (transexualism). We, as we were born, are a living glory to God. Our bodies, minds, and spirits, with all their differences and individualities, are a remarkable statement of the variety and creative power of God. Since our bodies, our very lives, are gifts from Him, it means we ultimately belong to Him. We do not have the right to alter ourselves against how God created us.

Answer 7

I consider this answer to be a NO. I do not think that this is against Gods laws - becuase now, it is a MAN and a WOMAN.

Answer 8

God doesn't care about gender. Gender is only the way of propigating the species. God does care about people and their love for other people and their praise and faith in God, though.

Answer 9

Not sure what exactly you mean by transexualism, but apparently it is okay to dress up like a gay Ferengi.

Answer 10

god's law is almost as bogus as transsexualism but each to their own anyway
peace out
