As God designed the family as the foundation of society, and that there are two genders, each distinct, it is of primary importance to the Adversary to sow in confusion. The objective is to destroy the family and God's design. Often the struggle for folks begins with confusion, but now we have a culture that actively PUSHES the lifestyle(s) antithetical to the Original design. We are seeing the fruit of this every day. Now the challenge is not to hate those who are misled, indoctrinated, and confused and thus drive them away. That, too, plays right into the enemy's hand to further divide and diminish opportunity of healing and hope. Not an easy thing to do by any means, it is too easy to default to condemnation. I am sure many have been deceived, abused, and "recruited" when at a tender age, or suppression of trauma that makes relationship with the opposite gender "unsafe". And now, as said before, the pressure by educators, the media, peer pressure, etc to force the agenda.

There is something very odd going on and it is preying on the young. When your mind is young, all sorts of concepts can become confusing. Sometimes I think the push to define, which is actually a push to make a decision is itself the sickness. The left are imposing this sickness on young minds. They claim to be so open minded and loving and caring--but it is as if they all have Munchenhausen syndrome--in need of constant attention themselves, they impose their wokeness on everyone else and it is literally killing people.

It's a form of brainwashing. Children (or leftist, lol) don't have the mental fortitude or critical thinking skills to see through a comprehensive deception supported by social condemnation, authority figures, etc. So if they even detect the lies by omission, the logical contradictions, the appeals to emotion and authority; they buckle, lacking the will to disagree.
Then they're ask to publicly declare their belief, so as to internalize it. The same as how a torture victim is told to confess; or cult victim, etc.
They're bombarded with agenda advertisements (school material) to associate dopamine release with the agenda.
Of course it's ineffectual on some.

It's probably a good then that Potus is dwelling on mental health. Lock them all up and zap them.

I had gender dysphoria for two years. I never changed my appearance (I knew I was beautiful. I literally was discovered in High School and could have been a "Cover Girl" (Commercial Print is like a model for girls who aren't tall) with the agency who has people like Channing Tatum and Angelina Jolie. In retrospect, I'm glad my mom didn't let me do it. They tried three times.). I never stopped wanting to marry and have children. I was only ever interested in men. But feeling male made planning for the future difficult, because when I thought ahead, my mind kicked me out of picturing myself. I had problematic OCD, too. I started eating better, started drinking raw milk, roleplayed a female character online and went back to normal. The OCD and gender dysphoria went away together. Only very light OCD now. Good nutrition leads to good health, physical and mental.

Im too lazy to find it but I recently read a study that showed the overwhelming majority of gender confused yourh settle on their birth gender after what you described, a few years of questioning it.

OCD can be put to good use for creative projects and goal achievement.
It might pair well with ADHD.

a lot of girls with gender dysphoria are simply dealing with undiagnosed sexual trauma
they have had an inappropriate sexual experience - or they are emotionally unprepared to deal with the sexual attention of men especially as puberty transforms their body, and they think that by de-feminising themselves they can escape that attention. Then it becomes Pathologised and expresses itself as the delusion, or delusional aspiration, to actually be or become men

Moat people are far too stupid to perceive the wisdom of the Bible. This is why Jesus had to use silly stories to teach the people.
You're learning the hard way. Lol.

You called parables silly stories but don't you think it was brilliant to be able to present truths in a way all people could understand ergo earthly stories with a heavenly meaning (or eternal truths). After all that is a basis for Aesop's fables and I would say they are pretty effective. Sometimes less is better.

I'm quite certain you're being a narrow pedant.
It's the greatest story ever told for a reason.

Society? Fail to do that they've abandoned fundamental precept of nature, what it takes to keep existing.

I don't think there's a group I despise more than the trannies. Want to wear a dress? Cool. Leave me and everyone else out of it. Forcing society to change to suit their perversion is unacceptable.
