On christianheadlines.com Michael Foust reports:
"Experts in the field are. . .citing studies that show minors often change their minds about transitioning when they're adults. . .
Studies show that anywhere from 63 to 94 percent of self-identified transgender children and teens change their minds, KQED reported. . .
[Dr. Jack] Descher [a Columbia University professor] urges caution on the use of surgery, which can be difficult to "undo." Surgery isn't available until age 18 for transgender teens.
In 2013, Amsterdam researcher Thomas Steensma released a study showing that 63 percent of transgender teens he studied had desisted by the ages of 15-16."
This information reveals the obvious. Young people need clear guidance when confused about their sexual identity. Of course, such guidance must come from godly adults who refuse to accept the misguided idea that a man is trapped in a woman's body, or a woman is trapped in a man's body.
Those who are experiencing such confusion need to be affirmed as males if they are men, or females if they are women. No one should encourage the confusion by suggesting otherwise.
Of course, the ungodly have no real moral ground to build upon once Scripture is rejected and God is pushed out of the equation. While we certainly need to show patience and compassion toward any young man or young lady going through a tough time in their teen years, we should NOT show patience with the adults who are unwilling to embrace the natural order created by God.
The bigger problem in the nation related to these issues as I discern it, is the problem of ungodly elites who dominate our schools from their perches of power in government, on university campuses, and as administrators and/or teachers in the public school system. What can be said about any adult who argues for transgender confusion??
Pray for the nation. It is later than we think.
