There are, of course, a number of issues raised by this, but none are solved by noting the dysphoria is considered a disorder:
* Is the dysphoria worth worrying about?
* Is treating it by living with a transgender identity successful? I guess more precisely, in what fraction of cases does it significantly reduce the dysphoria?
* How does that success rate compare with trying to help the person accept their birth gender?
* Even if it works, is it somehow unethical to live as a gender different from your birth gender?
My understanding is that various forms of transgender life are on average more effective than trying to help people accept their birth gender. My understanding is that Scripture has nothing to say about this, as anything that might be quoted would also prevent treating other conditions that we routinely treat.Last edited by hedrick; 05-13-2017, 08:17 PM.
