Letter: Condemning transgender affirmation

“Ask and see whether a man doth travail with child” (Jeremiah 30:6 KJV).

Yes, a man can “travail with child” say America’s judges, President Biden, Democratic senators by filibustering a transgender ban in women’s sports, and Gov. Tim Walz by mandating feminine products in boys’ bathrooms. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson cannot define “woman.”

Yes, says America’s military, when the Air Force Academy prohibits cadets from saying “Mom” or “Dad,” calling for “non-birthing parent” instead, and when the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps promoted Rachel Levine as the first transgender four-star admiral.

Yes, say America’s doctors, hospitals and medical associations by approving gender-altering surgeries for minors when “medically necessary.”

Yes, says the National Institutes of Health through a $620,000 grant for transgender boys’ pregnancy prevention program.

Yes, say America’s schools with pre-K’s drag story hours and Draggieland at Texas A&M.

Yes, say the NCAA, professional sports and Olympics.

Yes, we promote this, say the news media, entertainment and big business.

Yes, said the Texas House LGBTQ caucus. On Transgender Day of Remembrance 2023, they honored a member of the “Ziz” transgender cult, “Emma” Borhanian, as a victim of transphobic violence. Yet Borhanian actually was killed by the man he and other cult members were viciously trying to murder and two years later did murder.

Yes, say America’s pastors and churches, from the National Cathedral after the 2025 presidential inauguration, to local churches that welcome and affirm transgenders.

The Bible says, “Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity” (2 Timothy 2:19).

“They will not speak the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies.” “They proceed from evil to evil.” “Saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?” (Jeremiah 9:3, 5, 9)
