Title: Transgender Kid: God Made a Mistake
Post by: LostInTime on April 27, 2007, 07:58:21 AM
The Christian Post (http://www.christianpost.com/article/20070427/27115_Transgender_Kid:_God_Made_a_Mistake.htm)

When Riley was still Richard, the child would wash his hair with one hand while keeping a washcloth over his genitals with another, Stephanie Grant ("Grant" is an alias being used to protect the family's privacy), the mother, told 20/20.

...

As Riley approaches adolescence, some doctors say puberty is crucial for a child's development and should be allowed to take its natural course. Other specialists say early intervention is a better option. This includes hormone blockers to keep the child at a pre-pubertal state, as Dr. Norman Spack, an endocrinologist at Harvard University, told ABC.

Deciding on Coke or Pepsi must drive these people (the ones who say they can't make a decision without first considering the theological consequences) nuts.

Here's an argument: perhaps God meant TG, gay, bi, and etc people? Maybe God is neither good nor evil, and just makes things you know? So that means even bad things would be made by God. Remember, the earliest monotheistic religions never made a distinction of good and evil in respect to the concept of God, therefore to them, they would find the modern idea of an all good God to be naive, especially the Jews.
