What I Think About Transsexuals

I've been thinking, and I've realized that a person reading my blog could very easily get confused about what I think about transsexuals because I've never really stated that directly.  I realize that there are various definitions of transsexuals (and I guess even I fit some of the definitions out there) but in this post I'm referring to those who are seeking or have had SRS.  So I've decided to just write down exactly what I think about transsexuals.

• Transsexuals are children of God.

• God loves transsexuals just like he loves all of his children.

• People do things for different reasons obviously, but I understand why transsexuals become transsexuals.

• It really takes a lot of work, money, time, endurance of pain and hardship to become a transsexual and I would say that it would be really hard to go through all that for a frivolous reason which is proof enough that the reason is not frivolous.  

• I do not believe that having SRS is the goal God wants any of us to try to attain to, but I would not call someone a sinner for becoming or being a transsexual.  I believe that ultimately only Jesus Christ has the ability to judge someone that goes through something like this because he is the only one that truly knows our hearts, pains, and sorrows.

41 O then, my beloved brethren, ^acome unto the Lord, the Holy One. Remember that his paths are righteous. Behold, the ^bway for man is ^cnarrow, but it lieth in a straight course before him, and the keeper of the ^dgate is the Holy One of Israel; and he employeth no servant there; and there is none other way save it be by the gate; for he cannot be deceived, for the Lord God is his name.

So to sum it all up transsexuals are people too just like everyone else and we should be nice to everyone.  We should love everyone and we should treat everyone like the children of God that they are.  And if we don't agree with what other people are doing with their lives then we need to get over any nasty feelings we have and treat each other with the love and respect God has commanded us to treat each other with.

I'm of the belief that most people (with the exception of the criminally insane and the morally depraved, and those who sell their souls to the devil) are inherently good and they try their hardest to do what they believe is right--and I believe that that is exactly what the majority of transsexuals are doing and I have absolutely no negative feelings towards them.
