Being Transgender is not a Sin

My opponent makes a number of errors, let us analyze his comment. First, my opponent accuses me of equating transgenderism with Gender Dysphoria, however this is obviously false, as my statements imply that all transgenders have Gender Dysphoria, which is correct. By definition, Gender Dysphoria is the term that references the condition, and a transgender is what you call a person with this condition. My opponent says "a homosexual can have gender dysphoria" and "a transgender can have gender dysphoria", but this is strange to me because if a homosexual has gender dysphoria, then the person is also a transgender and thus exactly the same as his other claim, "a transgender can have gender dysphoria". Now, I will present a defense for the Biblical passages I quoted. First, on Deuteronomy 22:5. He says this cannot apply to ALL people, like intersex, but directly quoted from his comment, his reason for suggesting this is "That reality is simply not allowed in our time.". This is obviously ridiculous. He goes on to say this as well; "Why do you use Deut 22:5 against contemporary transgenders with GD and not also to intersex people with GD?" This is a classical Strawman Fallacy, as if you go to any of my arguments and posts, I never dis-included intersex people from Deuteronomy 22:5. On Christian theology, which is the discussion, this would definitely ascertain prescription upon these people as well, and so my opponent has never actually, in any of his comments since I've posted this, given us a viable reason to disdain this passage against transgenderism, which is the topic of this debate. Even if it did not appeal to intersex people, that STILL is nothing more than a Red Herring because my opponent must explain that it does not apply to TRANSGENDER people. If you see the title of the debate or even the Con position explained by my opponent in his original first comment, my position is "being transgender is a sin", not having gender dysphoria, which my opponent seems to confuse (which is strange considering, if you recall, he just explained to us all transgenderism and gender dysphoria is not the same thing). My opponent once again appeals to John 9:2 to show Judaism teaches blindness is a sin, but once again, as we have seen it only says that people are blind because their parents sin (John 9:1-2), and I have shown the context, and even then it would not show Judaism teaches it is a sin, but just that a few Jewish people believe it. I told my opponent that to show this exposes blindness as a sin, he would have to quote Jewish scripture, like the Old Testament or the Talmud, but he has failed to do this knowingly. In regards to my argument that transgender is a sin, because at the Garden of Eden it would be impossible for transgenders to "be fruitful and multiply" as God commanded, as if one of them changed sex procreation would be impossible, his argument is "heterosexual people capable of reproduction can choose celibacy [to abstain from marriage and sexual partners]". Now, this is ridiculous, as in the Garden of Eden, Adam personally went through all the animals God shown him, and was told to choose a partner, and he ended up choosing Eve. The idea of these people practicing celibacy is completely incompatible with Christian theology, and thus this does not protect counter-argument to the fact that transgender is a sin as it is incompatible with God's Original Design Plan. My opponent then goes back to 1 Corinthians 10:23 and 3 John 1:2. Now, I have already posted the context of Corinthians, showing that it tells us NOT to seek our own good, and thus this seems like an intentional misrepresentation here. As for 3 John 1:2, I also shown the context on this, and it clearly says to PRAY FOR OTHERS and nothing else. None of these could possibly show actually being transgender is free from sin. My opponent asks "why would getting treatment [sex reassignment surgery] be a sin [for gender dysphoria]?". It is because of the argument that my opponent repeatedly has ignored since my first comment, and that is the passage of Psalms 139:13, where it literally says that God makes us in our wombs. God makes us male or female, God makes us in all our flesh and bones. If God made you a male, God has made you a male, and likewise with being a female. If you were meant to be a female, then God would have made you a female. If you are made by God as a female, and then take Sex Reassignment Surgery, you have destroyed God's creation, which is a very big sin to say the very least. God has made you who you are, and attempting to become something else and divert from God, and change our bodies, is literally pursuing our fleshly ways in this world, which is a sin [1] in Christianity. In regards to 1 Corinthians 6:9, which condemns men for being effeminate with the Greek term 'malakoi', as my opponent even conceded, this shows that men trying to become women is a sin, as it is becoming effeminate if you literally become a woman. In response, my opponent says this; "Calling a transgender woman with Gender Dysphoria effeminate because she has a male body is the same as calling an intersex female (XX male syndrome) with Gender Dysphoria because she has a male body. The only difference between the two is the form of biological etiology of their innate conditions, the former physiologically and anatomically female in brain (with genetics of course but not regards the chromosomes ) in a male's body while the latter is genetically female (XX chromosomes) in a male's body. Both are literally "women trapped in men's bodies."" Now, this is quite lengthy and very flawed. They are not "women trapped in men's bodies", what Gender Dysphoria exactly is, is a psychological feat that makes you feel like or want to be the opposite sex. Scientifically speaking, although transgender males have similar brains to females in a few aspects, it is the FEELING that you are a women trapped in a mans body [2], there are still countless similarities between a transgender males brain and an actual males brain, in fact it is more than the other way around [2]. Then, my opponent says this; "Aligning the gender of the BODY with the gender of the BRAIN in intersex people IS . NOT . A . SIN . The same logically applies to transsexuals. " God made our bodies, not our mind. Thus, it sounds ridiculous to say that our bodies must conform to our mind rather than the other way around, this can hardly pass as an argument. Lastly, my opponent COMPLETELY IGNORES one of the passages of the Bible I posted against transgenderism and Sex Reassignment, which is Deuteronomy 23:1, in which it flat out says that a man who has his genitals removed literally cannot stand in the assembly of God. He did not address this in his final response. Previously, he tried to appeal to eunuchs to protect transgender people from this, but as I have shown, an eunuch is someone who removes genitals for the purpose of removing their sexuality, and an eunuch is a very strict guideline in the Bible where such a thing is permitted, Deuteronomy 23:1 completely repudiates transgenderism and Sex Reassignment and my opponent has failed to defend his position. In conclusion, we have seen Christian theology is incompatible with transgender. My arguments have shown transgenderism is quite literally incompatible with God's Original Design Plan, that removing your genitals is outright outlawed by God [Deuteronomy 23:1] (unless one is an eunuch, completely different than transgender), we have seen men being effeminate, such as changing your body into a woman is a complete sin in Christianity [1 Corinthians 6:9], and cross-dressing is a sin [Deuteronomy 22:5], which would necessarily happen if a man has sex reassignment and dresses like a women. Transgenderism could not possibly be free from sin. Vote Con. 1. http://biblehub.com... 2. https://www.newscientist.com...
