Homosexuality - Transsexuality Compared

This entire website is devoted to those who find their present state of affairs in tremendous inner turmoil because of their natural inclination to engage in behaviors that are not pleasing to themselves.  The attempts to prove the “rightness” or “wrongness” or “causes” for same-sex preferences is only an attempt at best, for the jury is still out!  And there are not clear-cut, unbiased reasons for or against the behavioral conditions contributing to these conditions. 

We do not pretend to know the definitive answers.  We only want to make clear our position is that today’s “political climate” cannot be the final answer. We feel that everyone is to be free to live their life as they want, which gives lots of latitude to the pro-gay or the pro-straight movement.  “Live and let live” is an appropriate appeal from either position.  We are not trying to condemn or criticize anyone for their life-choices; we are attempting to understand what makes us “tick” and what, if anything, can be done to help those who yet proclaim their inalienable right to live as free-willed humans, who can yet make a choice on how they are to live.

Does this opening statement sound like unbiased scientific inquiry to you?)  The facts are that he had just lost his gay lover to death, a death caused by AIDS...and was desperately trying to explain or justify his own sexual identity confusion, by a creating a hoax. Think this through and you will have to agree this was and remains at its best, "poor-science."

He later had to confess  that his study was indeed a hoax, an attempt to persuade an unsuspecting public & naive medical community that it was caused by an in-born gene, thereby directly caused by God.

"If God did it, then why should we resist it? In fact, consider it a lovely gift from the Creator."

"I and the others within our politically active Gay Rights group have learned to apply subversive tactics to accomplish our ends, using any means necessary, drawing our tactics and strategy chiefly from the voluminous Mein Kampf, which we have studied thoroughly as a working model."
(P. 137, The Washington Blade, 1987).

”A condition in which one feels inwardly incongruent in his/her God-given gender identity, or role. Eventual attempts are most likely made to "correct the anatomical mistake" through increasing episodes of cross-dressing, opposite gender hormone ingestion, and eventual Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS); which constitutes the elimination of the obvious anatomical appendages that define one a girl or a boy, mainly the breasts in females, or gonads and penis of the male. The male will typically undergo bilateral breast augmentation, as well as the surgical creation of a pseudo vaginal opening, which is nothing more than a surgically devised hole which doesn't communicate with any of the internal organs. Women will often opt for the surgical creation of a pump operated pseudo-phallus, to enable her to have sex with a woman.”

"I wish that there could have been an alternative way, but there wasn't back in 1975. If there was a drug that I could have taken that would have reduced the pressure, I would have been better off staying the way I was – as a totally intact person. I know deep down that I'm a second-class woman. I get a lot of inquiries from would-be transsexuals, but I don't want anyone to hold me out as an example to follow. Today there are better choices, including medication, for dealing with the compulsion to cross-dress and the depression that comes from gender-confusion. As far as being fulfilled as a woman, I'm not as fulfilled as I dreamed of being. I get a lot of letters from people who are considering having this operation ... and I discourage them all. You'd be better getting on some medications ...or get locked up or do whatever it takes to keep you from being allowed to do something like it."
(Tennis Magazine, March, 1999, "The Liason Legacy," p 31).

HOMOSEXUALITY & TRANSSEXUALITY

IS THIS A SIN?
 

"It's easy to latch onto a rating system or some set of rules that will make it clear what we will and won't do as a Christian. But no rating system can replace a heart that wants to please God. If we're to honor God with our choices, we must be willing to carefully scrutinize and evaluate how what we do attests to our love for and obedience to God. We must be willing to wrestle with our standards and often refuse to engage in behaviors that others think is permissible, if not God's permissive will.

When he was in college, the famous evangelist John Wesley wrote a letter to his mother asking her to give him a clear description of sin. Sounds like he wanted a list of do's and don'ts. But Mrs. Wesley didn't give John what he wanted. She gave him something much better. In response, she wrote:

"Take this rule: whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off the relish of spiritual things; in short, whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind, that thing is sin to you, however innocent it may seem to be in itself. It doesn't matter how others feel about it; or how popular it is, or how seemingly innocent it appears. If it hardens your heart toward God, if it obscures your awareness of the ugliness of sin and the holiness of God, if it takes the edge off your spiritual hunger, then it's sin."
(Taken from "Not Even a Hint: Guarding your heart against lust," by Joshua Harris, Multnomah, 2003).
