New in PJ Media:
If you think men who claim that they’re women, and women who maintain that they’re men, are delusional, sad, and more than a little pathetic, you’ve already rejected the left’s continuing insistence that these are heroic people who have the courage to affirm their true selves against society’s imagined disapproval. As increasing numbers of people are turning back to reality and rejecting the left’s fantasies and delusions, however, leftists aren’t retreating one inch. Instead, they’re doubling down. For some leftists who play at religion, now transgenderism isn’t just heroic; it’s holy.
Yes, holy. The Christian Post reported Friday that “several liberal Protestant and Jewish denominations” took the plunge into the realm of the altogether ludicrous as they “declared transgenderism ‘holy’ this week in direct rebuke of a vote by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to bar transgender procedures in Catholic healthcare facilities.” That makes it even worse. Not only were these allegedly religious people affirming their support for the wholehearted embrace of self-delusion and insanity, even to the point of mutilation and a lifetime dependence on pharmaceuticals, but they were doing it in the context of correcting the U.S. Catholic bishops for daring to adhere to reality.
And so on Wednesday, a gaggle, or coven, or murder, or whatever the most appropriate word for such a group would be, of leftist pretend-Jews and pretend-Christians united in declaring that they “affirm the full spectrum of gender.” And that’s so important, you know? Remember that Bible passage that says “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him and affirms the full spectrum of gender would not perish, but have everlasting life”? Yes, I’m over-egging the cake, but after all, so are these “religious leaders.”
The pious group included representatives of the Unitarian Universalist Association; the Friends General Conference; the Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC), which were created in order to reject traditional Christian teaching regarding homosexual activity; the Fellowship of Affirming Ministries (TFAM), which of course affirms that anything, anything at all, goes, if you find it “affirming,” no matter how destructive it may really be; the Union for Reform Judaism; the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.); the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada; the United Church of Christ (UCC); Reconstructing Judaism; and (of course!) the Episcopal Church.
These learned divines issued a statement in which they declared: “During a time when our country is placing their lives under increasingly serious threat, there is a disgraceful misconception that all people of faith do not affirm the full spectrum of gender – a great many of us do. Let it be known instead that our beloveds are created in the image of God – Holy and whole.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

The Apostle Paul wrote that some ‘men transformed themselves into minsters of righteousness, and no wonder as satan the devil keeps transforming himself into an angel of light.’
This is another tool of the devil….an attempt to get worship for him and his horde of demons rather than humans worshipping God.

It’s a cult.

The insanity in the world is out of control. Hate to tell these fruit cakes again, but there are only two genders, you are ether born MALE or FEMALE nothing elder. You mat think your opposite of what you were born with. but that doesn’t make it so. If I could change from being poor to being wealthy by just thinking I was I’d be living in a mansion and flying around the world in my big private jet plane. I can think I’an wealthy all I want but it won’t change what I really am, poor.

Old Guy, when I was young, my family never would allow me time to be ill; so when I got to be an adult on my own and felt ill, I would look in the mirror and tell myself that I was not sick. it has never worked.

A lot of Christianity has lost its balls and this is DIRECTLY related to all the feminist crap out there.
Look, I respect women as I think men in general should (don’t count on Muzzie men here) but there are three types of women: 1) mousy women who regularly defer to men, and as found in many non-Western societies, including most definitely Islamic societies; 2) feminist women, almost exclusively a Western phenomenon and which is (stupidly) rooted in a perpetual antipathy to so much that is male; 3) real women, who won’t take any crap off of men (nor should they) but know that manly virtues are intrinsic to free societies remaining free societies and that a decent legal system like Roman Law or Common Law (Sharia need not apply here) implicitly comprehends that men need the law and women need it even more. In a state of nature devoid of a proper legal system the male will dominate. I have no time for women or beta males who don’t get this.
