When Steven Michael Mott was 13, his father told him that if he could swim 100 yards, he could go to the river on their Eudora farm by himself.

The adolescent never worked so hard to reach a goal, and within a short time, he proved to his father he was a capable swimmer.

Going to the river alone meant Steven could borrow his sisters' clothing and be his "true self" without the fear of being discovered and punished, saying, "I didn't have words for it, but by age 7, I needed to express myself as a girl."

This comment is interesting in as much as it is a newish piece of rhetoric from the christian tallban.

QuoteChrist (the One who quoted and taught the Old Testament and preached the New One) does not approve of a confused man wearing a dress and seeking castration. (Deuteronomy 22:5; 23:1)

I have to say, I'm quite pleased that this nas finally surfaced. The rhetorial debate is far from won.
