The Bible and Gender Identity
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg highlights the traditional biblical view on gender identity, which aligns with societal tradition. The increasing phenomenon of transgenderism and gender dysphoria raises societal confusion, which goes against God's nature as the author of clarity, he argues. While Christians should love and support transgenders as individuals, they must follow the Bible's teachings on gender and submit to God's will. Additionally, the role of psychiatrists in dealing with gender dysphoria is to help manage a person's distress and not to change their gender identity.
