Re: What happens if a post-op transexual becomes a Christian

How exactly is this even considered a sin? Some people's genders don't match their sex. How is it wrong to make the constant pain go away? I've been under the impression that most members were for fixing things medically and not just praying for everything to be okay. If someone is severely depressed with history of suicide attempts, would you withhold seratonin balancers because "God made them that way"? Now if a girl ends up with a male body, causing her to be mistreated and experience severe dysphoria, is it suddenly a sin to take estrogen?
It seems there's next to no understanding of transsexuals on this board.. TSes have been proven to have a brain structure of the opposite biological sex. Experiments have shown gender is a real thing(and if you haven't, see the difference between sex and gender).
New gender? Generally SRS(sexual reassignment surgery) is done to make the sex match the gender. If they convert to be a Christian, they should live as a Christian would....If a non Christian person goes under gender reassignment surgery and then later on converts to become a Christian, should that person continue living as their new gender? What should they do?
Wrong. Hormones add but never remove. Estrogen/progresten will cause breast development. Ceasing of these hormones and even a flooding of testosterone will not undo this. Furthermore, SRS generally removes the testes/ovaries, causing hormonal development to not work as before.You are assuming that there are transsexuals. Basically they can be transsexual if they have surgery or take hormones. So if they stop taking hormones they will go back to their natural position whatever it was before the hormones
Read the original text; it's not saying that. The verse is better translated as not putting a weak person in warrior's clothing/position and vice versa.If Deuteronomy 22:5 says that simply dressing like the opposite sex is considered abomination, what would having an operation to change your outer physical appearance to that of a female or visa versa be like?
There's a 98% rate of success(2% regret rate), highest in the entire field, for SRS. Most transsexuals are self-diagnosed to start with, anyway.Furthermore, there are people who were transexuals (for example Charles Kane, who used to be Samantha Kane, who used to be Sam Hashimi) who have advocated that "the NHS should halt all sex change operations" (the NHS is the British National Health Service). A 16 year old Brittish boy to be one of the youngest to go under gender reassignment surgery stated "The doctors have said I need the surgery for my own peace of mind."[1][2]
