Are people born transgender?

Image
Two recent headlines proclaim, " Transgender people are  born that way , a new study has found," and "Scientists uncover  20 genes  linked to being transgender – supporting claims the condition has a physical basis." What are we to make of this? Before we evaluate these announcements, it's important that we understand that we are not discussing the question of people who are  intersex , referring to those who have a biological or chromosomal abnormality in terms of their sex. By definition, people who are intersex are born that way. It's also important that we remember the many sensational headlines that proclaimed that a gay gene (or the like) had been discovered. Every few years, a new "discovery" would be made about "proving" that people are born gay, only to be replaced by the latest "discovery," none of which proved definitive. Back in February 1992, a  cover story  for  Newsweek  featured the face of an infa...

ABC reporter blame Pastors for Homosexual mental health

Image
Once again, ABC Australia is blaming the church, but more precisely pastors for homosexual poor mental health. As usual the ABC spends time interviewing one Church leader who is bisexual from the Uniting church then another 'progressive' Baptist Pastor who disregards historical biblical interpretation on the sin of homosexuality and personally reinterprets homosexuality as a blessing of God .  The problem with the article written by Sarah Malik is that it shows little understanding of the scriptures, ignores the presence of a Godly conscience, misunderstands the power of sin even the existence of sin, the blindness of sin, the rebellion against God word and lastly the abandonment by God for homosexual behavior as outlined in Romans 1.  All of these actions, are identical to any person who sins intentionally or unintentionally against the will of God. The searing of the conscience comes first, the the withdrawal of God's restraint until God abandons them. This ...

AMA suppressed overwhelming evidence on danger of homosexual marriage on children

Image
A former senior Australian Medical Association official has lashed out at the peak medical body’s campaign for homosexual marriage, accusing it of using false and misleading information in claiming the reform was a public health issue . Dr Chris Middleton , a former president of the Tasmanian AMA, has joined with five AMA members in penning a 15-page report savaging the credibility of the national body’s Position Statement on Homosexual marriage . Dr Middleton, who was inducted in the AMA Roll of Fellows in 2011, renounced his life membership of the body and was critical of its process to adopt a position in favour of homosexual marriage, saying the membership was not consulted. The gastroenterologist, who does not support homosexual marriage, expects hundreds of doctors to join the group in opposing the AMA’s position. Dr Middleton’s report will be sent to federal MPs this weekend. “The position statement has very little to say about medicine and was little more than a politica...

Australia: NT teacher is correct regarding gay comment on Facebook

Image
The actions of an Alice Springs teacher are being investigated by the education department after he posted on a public Facebook forum that the "lifestyle choice" of "gays" was "inherently wrong". The teacher, made a correct comment in relation to a post by ABC program Q&A that he shared on Saturday last week on the Alice Springs Community Open Forum Facebook page. "Gays think the reason they don't feel good about themselves is because society currently won't let them call themselves married. Will it change when the law changes?  No, because the reason they don't feel good about themselves is because their lifestyle choice is inherently wrong."  NO GAY GENE - NO BORN GAY - BUT CULTURAL INFLUENCE Dr. Paul R. McHugh , the Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University and former psychiatrist–in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital , who has studied sexuality for 40 years, said it is a scientific fa...

School stops enSchool stops enforcing Obama’s trans bathroom policy after parents pulled kids out

Image
A Michigan school district has stopped the practice of allowing members of one biological sex to use the restrooms of the opposite sex after parents pulled their two sons out of elementary school over the issue. Last week, Matt Stewart's nine-year-old son told him, "There was   a girl in the boys’ bathroom " with him and other male elementary kids.  When Stewart called the school, the principal told him the Obama administration's federal guidance on transgender students forced them to allow transgender students in the bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers of their chosen gender, and not their biological sex. Violating the policy means losing federal funding. Stewart talked it over with his wife, and they decided to take their sons out of Southwest Elementary School in Howell, Michigan . Now, after publicly complaining that parents should have been consulted, Stewart says, "over the last few days they have actually changed their positions.”  Howell...

Pope Francis same-sex ‘marriage’ in exhortation

Image
Pope Francis’ apostolic exhortation   Amoris Laetitia   is a sprawling document that seeks to address the wide variety of challenges facing the family today – from widespread divorce, pornography, artificial reproductive technologies, gender theory , cohabitation, internal family strife, and much more. Much of the debate over the document will likely focus on Pope Francis’   treatment of the question   of whether the Church can admit divorced and remarried Catholics to the sacraments. The furor over the so-called 'Kasper proposal' to loosen the Church's restrictions had dominated the headlines and discussions during last year's Synod on the Family . In today's exhortation, the pope   stakes out   a markedly more liberal position on the issue than his precedessors. (Read about that   here .) However, on numerous other hot-button issues, the Pope upholds the traditional teaching, including on abortion, euthanasia, gender theory, gay ‘marria...

Kentucky clerks slammed as ‘Jim Crow’ for differentiating marriage licenses - choice VS race?

Image
A leading LGBT website is bashing Kentucky clerks for wanting to differentiate between same-sex and opposite-sex couples when issuing marriage licenses. Earlier this week, the investigative website MuckRock.com   published more than 400 e-mails   from embattled Kentucky clerk Kim Davis . Those e-mails showed that 54 of the state's 93 clerks preferred to have separate marriage licenses for same-sex and opposite-sex couples. "' Separate but equal ,' the same old Jim Crow argument that was used to defend 'whites only' lunch counters and segregated schools, has resurfaced," wrote Contributing Editor Jean Esselink for The New Civil Rights Movement (TNCRM). "The words may be different but the underlying concept is the same, except that this time it's being used by Kentucky county clerks who would like to make marriages by same-sex couples separate but equal to marriages by heterosexuals." Homosexuality is a choice - race is not. Ho...

ABC Australia Fact Checker actual lies

Image
Tony Abbott is completely correct on the concept of traditional marriage being between a "Mum and a Dad." The entire population would agree except a minority who themselves are homosexual and obviously would seek to fin minor variations of marriage throughout different cultures in order to say marriage historically is a free for all.  ABC Fact Checker quotes Yale University's John Boswell and his book entitled: Sex Unions In Premodern Europe. He claims the use of the word friend is misunderstood and really means lover. With regards to Christianity he claims a lesbian relationship between Ruth and Naomi , David and Jonathon, he reinterprets a spiritual fraternity as a homosexual relationship. The author died of AIDS. All of his examples are questionable, minor and insignificant. Writing in The Christian Century magazine, the Candler School of Theology 's historian of theology Philip Lyndon Reynolds expressed "profound problems" with Boswell's pos...
