As the LGBT agenda sinks its claws into the world, any form of disagreement with it becomes less and less safe. One of the most shocking examples is the tweet displayed in the header image. The person who posted it declares that it is transphobic to not want to date trans "women". Why? Because such an attitude denies that they are actually women.
Now, if you want to call me "transphobic", go for it. My history of gender confusion for which I was aggressively bullied in school shows that you would be stupid for doing so, but I will absolutely accept the label "transphobic" if all it means is that I believe gender is fixed and binary. Because guess what: I do. I believe in this thing called "biology", and because of this, I know that there are, indeed, only two genders, and that to transition from one to the other is impossible.
One key evidence of this is that, contrary to this Tweet's assertion, there is a difference between dating a trans "woman" and a real women. One key difference is fertility. If you, as an anatomically intact man, date a trans "woman", you can be as intimate with him as you both consent to be, it will never result in children. Yet, according to the maker of marriage Himself, Godly offspring is one of the biggest purposes of marriage (Malachi 2:15).
"But we're only talking about dating here", the activist may reply. Well ok, let's just grant that. The first problem is it doesn't alter a biological fact I just mentioned. The second problem is that the reason a lot of people date is to effectively "try out" their partner for marriage. The third problem is that even if it's just casual dating, who people date is entirely their choice. You don't get to pressure people into dating you, not even if their reason for doing so is offensive to you.
But the biggest problem in all of this is that it highlights just how far we have fallen as a society. Even as sinners, sex and marriage used to be held in high regard. But today, we have taken such a flippant attitude about it that a man can be called "transphobic" for refusing to date another man. Even with my history in the LGBT community, I find that abominable.
This disgraceful state of affairs should tell us that it is time to repent, both as a culture, and as individuals. When God is rejected, abominations like this fill the vacuum. But when God is accepted, He brings many benefits with Him. He brings sanity, He brings confidence in one's own identity, and more importantly, He brings eternal life. Sins such as LGBT behavior separate us from Him, but when we repent and confess, we are presented before Him blameless. But only through Christ. We must confess Him as Lord, and believe in our hearts God raised Him from the dead.
