We need more theistic activity

Sex and gender are not the same, as has been pointed out endlessly. If someone has to ignore this fact, which is established by experts in these fields of study, then it's clearly to support personal bigotry.

I'd suggest talking to an actual transgender person. I never properly understood about it until I talked to one, but I was fully accepting of them before that anyhow and felt no need to tell them "what they are". It's none of my business, doesn't hurt anyone, and they know a damn sight better what's going on in their mind and body than I do; as do the experts who have studied it all.

I also recommend researching "gender dysphoria". After that, if you still cling to saying, "Well I still call them a man/woman", then you're using nonstandard terms, and no one ever makes a point by doing so. We all know where all this really stems from: fear of those who are different. The fear turns pre-emptively into intolerance and aggression.

From a religious point of view, we have a God who can't even match up bodies and minds successfully to create a person with uniform gender/sex. Pretty lame of him, huh? Either that or he wants it that way, for some reason, in which case stop being a dick to his creations.
