Transsexualism, also known as transgenderism, Gender Identity Disorder (GID), or gender dysphoria, is a feeling that your biological/genetic/physiological gender does not match the gender you identify with and/or perceive yourself to be. Transsexuals/transgenders often describe themselves as feeling “trapped” in a body that does not match their true gender. They often practice transvestism/transvestitism and may also seek hormone therapy and/or gender reassignment surgery to bring their bodies into conformity with their perceived gender.
The Bible nowhere explicitly mentions transgenderism or describes anyone as having transgender feelings. However, the Bible has plenty to say about human sexuality. Most basic to our understanding of gender is that God created two (and only two) genders: “male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27). All the modern-day speculation about numerous genders or gender fluidity—or even a gender “continuum” with unlimited genders—is foreign to the Bible.
Kristie Higgs, 43, vented her frustration on Facebook about the use of two kids’ books – which could prompt discussions about sexual orientation – at her son’s Church of England primary
A CHRISTIAN school assistant has been sacked after she protested against transgender issues being taught at her own son’s primary.
Kristie Higgs, 43, vented her frustration on Facebook about the use of two kids’ books – which could prompt discussions about sexual orientation – at her son’s school.
The mum-of-two wrote on Facebook: “They are brainwashing our children! We say again, this is a vicious form of totalitarianism aimed at suppressing Christianity.”
After one email complaint about her post, Mrs Higgs was fired from her role as a pastoral assistant at Farmor’s School, in Fairford, Gloucestershire.
A disciplinary panel found she was guilty of gross misconduct for using language which demeaned its gay, lesbian and transgender pupils.
It was decided that there was “potential” for the school’s reputation to be harmed after Mrs Higgs’ post attracted a complaint.
The row erupted after Mrs Higgs shared an article on Facebook that blasted two books – one about a boy who wants to wear a dress and another about a red crayon that discovers it is really blue.
‘THEY ARE BRAINWASHING OUR CHILDREN’
“This is happening in our primary schools now,” she captioned the Facebook link to the post slamming ‘Jacob’s New Dress’ and ‘Red: A Crayon’s Story’.
In the article that Mrs Higgs shared, author JudyBeth Wagoner stated that “far-left zealots have hijacked the learning environment”.
“Liberal school systems are busy indoctrinating their children,” Wagoner wrote.
“Kindergarten and first grade children are being primed for a gender fluid society.
“Of course, the schools are introducing the propaganda in the name of anti-bullying campaigns, but we know better.
“They are busy recruiting children for the transgender roster.
“Their agenda is not about bullying. They are using our children to promote their gender free society of madness.”
The closest the Bible comes to mentioning transgenderism is in its condemnations of homosexuality (Romans 1:18–32; 1 Corinthians 6:9–10) and transvestitism (Deuteronomy 22:5). The Greek word often translated “homosexual offenders” or “male prostitutes” in 1 Corinthians 6:9 literally means “effeminate men.” So, while the Bible does not directly mention transgenderism, when it mentions other instances of gender “confusion,” it clearly and explicitly identifies them as sin.

MY MISSION IS NOT TO CONVINCE YOU, ONLY TO INFORM…
It is impossible to find anyone in the Bible who was a power for God who did not have enemies and was not hated.
Preach the gospel with BOLDNESS AND STRENGTH! It’s better to follow God and be judged by the world, than to follow the world and be judged by God!

Jesus come quick, there is nothing left in society that’s sacred….
