Treating psychological pain with sex change surgery doesn’t work

Image
Perhaps the greatest harm inflicted by the promoters of transgenderism is on children who show signs of gender dysphoria. Parents are nowadays led to believe that the only way to prevent their gender-confused child from committing suicide is to allow them to begin to transition while they are young.   What parents aren’t being told is that 80 percent to 95 percent of children who express gender dysphoria will naturally grow out of it and come to identify with their bodily sex if natural development is allowed to proceed.   Those who do begin to transition at an early age often find themselves experiencing regret later in life.    As it turns out, my friend Walt is one of the many whose personal testimony is included in Anderson’s book. “Living as a woman,” Anderson notes, “brought him ‘no lasting peace.’” Instead, after transitioning , Walt’s gender confusion only seemed to worsen. Speaking of the many people now in his network of “detransitioners,” Walt says, “Every s

‘When Harry Became Sally’ reveals inconvenient truths about transgenderism

In the fall of 2017, I was privileged to spend 10 days with Walt Heyer, a man who had  undergone sex reassignment surgery and, after eight years of living as “Laura,” experienced regret and detransitioned, reverting to being himself  – Walt – once and for all.     Walt and I were in Hong Kong to address a symposium at the University of Hong Kong concerning what is at stake regarding the twin cultural threats of transgenderism and same-sex marriage , now looming in the cosmopolitan  – but still deeply rooted-in-tradition – city state . During those 10 days, it seemed like every time Walt pulled his iPhone out of his pocket he had a new text or email from someone, somewhere in the world who had had second thoughts about “ transitioning ,” and was now desperately searching for help to undo the harm they had done to body and psyche. In our politically correct world where pointing out the harms of “transitioning” is not only frowned upon but is increasingly a punishable offe

Pastor attacked by LGBT community

Image
An uproar over a sound Bible helping program at a Downriver church in Michigan has the pastor pushing back on the LGBT death threats . It all started weeks ago when Metro City Church announced a workshop for teen girls struggling with “thoughts that are trans - bi - gay or other.” The pastor of the church says the program is not conversion therapy , it's a conversation, not condemnation and there is no dragging or bible beatings, no casting out demons....just talking. But the LGBT zealots do not tolerate anybody questioning the lifestyle choices and have responded with threats of physical harm to burn the church down and to kill the pastor. Love wins? Don't think so!  Jeremy Schossau says in his roughly two decades building metro city church, he hasn’t seen anything like the backlash to his “unashamed identity workshop.” “This unbelievable vitriol that has come at us from around the world,” Schossau says. “The hate the vulgarity the pornography that has fl

Michigan Pastor Facing Death Threats for Offering Workshops to Teens Struggling with Homosexuality

Image
Pastor Jeremy Schossau of Metro City Church in Riverview, Michigan , is facing explosive backlash after offering classes to teens struggling with same-sex attraction and seeking help. In a now-deleted Facebook post, the church offered a workshop called, "Unashamed Identity" for girls 12-16 who are struggling with thoughts of being trans, bi, gay or other. People now are speaking up after being silenced by the vocal violent LGBT community. Hospitals are now claiming trans is a mental health issue.  The post received outrage from many on social media, driven mainly by violent outraged LGBTQ zealots.  They lie about the purpose of the workshop claiming  it is conversion therapy , a sound counselling practice used to bring biblical clarity and foundation understanding to sexuality.  When LGBT zealots disagree with what the Bible says about homosexuality - they threaten you, report you, lie about you, seek to burn your work down and threten violence.  Hundreds agai

LGBT advocates threaten to kill pastor over Bible workshop for sexually confused girls

A pastor of a Detroit -area church along with his family have received death threats, arson threats, and bomb threats from LGBT advocates after advertising a Bible-based workshop for teenage girls struggling with their sexual identity. “A whole bunch of people have come up with this idea that we are offering some sort of conversion-therapy workshop,” Metro City Church Pastor Jeremy Schossau explained on a Feb. 5 YouTube video about the backlash to his church's program titled “ Unashamed Identity .” “As a result of that, we’ve had an unbelievable backlash on social media filled with hate and vulgarity,” Schossau continued. “People have literally threatened to kill me and my family, to burn our house down, to burn our Church down, to assault the people of our Church and our staff,” he said. At one point, the church was receiving as many as 40 voicemail messages a minute from critics of the program. The pastor received messages on social media such as: “Kill y

LGBT lobby pulls out big guns to force ‘Pride Parade’ on small town USA

Image
LGBT forces have pulled out the heavy artillery to force a small Mississippi town to change its mind about denying a permit for a ‘gay pride’ parade. Two Mississippi State University students, Bailey McDaniel and Emily Turner, filed a federal lawsuit last week against the town, asking a judge to “overrule the city and immediately grant a parade permit to Starkville Pride,” according to an  AP report . “The city banned plaintiffs from speaking in a public forum solely because it disagreed with the viewpoint and content of their speech,” alleges the lawsuit.  “That hostility to their message was inextricably intertwined with hostility to their LGBT identity and pro-LGBT advocacy.” In other words, the strong language of the lawsuit is meant to intimidate this small town, which is clearly not ready to host a big-city type gay pride parade, by claiming the sole source of the permit denial was ‘hostility.’ The legal drama pits New York attorney Roberta Kaplan against Starkv

South Carolina bill calls gay ‘marriage’ a ‘parody’ of real marriage

Image
South Carolina legislators have proposed a bill that calls homosexual “marriage” a “parody” of “natural” marriage between a man and a woman.  The “ Marriage and Constitution Restoration Act ” (H. 4949) introduced earlier this month clarifies that marriage is between one man and one woman, and defines same-sex arrangements, whether legally solemnized or not, “parody marriage.” “‘Marriage’ means a union of one man and one woman,” the Act reads. “‘Parody marriage’ means any form of marriage that does not involve one man and one woman.” The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “parody” as “a feeble or ridiculous imitation.” Six Republicans sponsored the Act, which uses Constitutional arguments to “prohibit the state from respecting, endorsing, or recognizing any parody marriage policy.” The preamble of the proposed amendment to South Carolina’s Constitution states that it is scientifically “unsettled” if homosexuality is “immutable or genetic,” and therefore sexual orienta

Parents outraged as teachers union hosts LGBT activist who defends public sex acts

Image
Alberta ’s teachers’ union has come under fire from parents for hosting a keynote address by an LGBT activist who frequently posts sexually explicit material on social media. The Alberta Teachers’ Association defended its decision to host pro-LGBT activist Dr. Kristopher Wells for an address on February 22 to the Palliser District Teachers’ Convention. Wells is the Faculty Director for the University of Alberta’s Institute for Sexual Minority Studies and Services, and his  university bio  credits him for creating a variety of initiatives for gay students, as well as advisory roles with the Canadian Senate, Canadian Teachers' Federation , Alberta Teachers' Association, Public Health Agency of Canada , and various local governments, through which he holds considerable influence in shaping LGBT-related policies. On February 20, the Alberta-based Parents for Choice in Education (PCE)  wrote a letter  to Alberta Teachers Association president Greg Jeffrey asking hi

Southern Baptists threaten to cut ties with D.C. Baptists over ‘married’ lesbian pastors

Image
The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) has threatened to cut ties with the D.C. Baptist Convention (DCBC) if it doesn't “secure removal” of a church pastored by "married" lesbians in 90 days.  The SBC's Executive Committee  voted  during Feb. 19-20 meetings in Nashville, Tenn to require the DCBC to officially break "fellowship" with Calvary Baptist Church , which last year hired two "married" lesbians, Sally Sarratt and Maria Swearingen, as co-pastors.  The D.C. church's vote to hire the lesbians was unanimous. Explicit wording from the committee left no misunderstanding of the reason: The DCBC  must  “secure...the removal of any churches from its fellowship that have demonstrated a faith or practice affirming, approving or endorsing homosexual behavior .” The only other alternative the SBC  offered  was to lead Calvary Baptist Church to "repentance" for giving approval to homosexuality through the hire. Since the 1990s,
