<quoted text>This was the topic on the Maury Show yesterday. A man finally coming out to turn himself into a woman. Sad part about it though is he has two daughters, one 13, the other 21, and it is tearing them all to hell.

I love the way my hometown has given in to weirdos that are confused about their DNA. Sometimes I feel like I am trapped inside myself. I remember growing up and eating Cheetos and thinking "Am I a Cheeto?" After moving from somewhere else (like everyone does here), I realized...I AM A CHEETO. I have since begun covering myself with cheese power and oil. I do have trouble breathing inside the plastic bag I live in though...I love Asheville, I haven't found another Cheeto yet, but its only a matter of time...

For all you know, we speak to you every day and you never realize it, Larry. Your ignorance and anger blind you.

For it is written: Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD.
That dear friend will be your knee, your tongue, confessing before the Holy Throne that JESUS CHRIST is LORD. Maybe not today, perhaps not tomorrow, but one day. For the Lord God made us all, He created even you, be not deceived by the deceiver, but run to Him for tomorrow is not promised.
There was a man who dived into a pool and had a massive heart attack and died, he knew not that the breath before him was his last. There was a lady injured in an automobile accident, she wanted to wait to know Christ when she was old, once she lived her life-she was left brain dead. Where is their fate-heaven or hell. Only Jesus knows inside our hearts, and look around you. He is the Alpa and Omega the Beginning and the End. He is very real. He loves you, he will forgive those who will repent and come to Him. I implore you to not turn away from Him but to turn to Him. Cry out to Him from the depth of your soul, let the Holy Spirit come into your life...your heart will be changed and you could never deny Him again for Christ will fill your Heart with His love.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosovever beleiveth in Him shall not perish but have ever lasting life."John 3:16
Those precious words are from the Living word, Holy Spirit driven, that be you white, or black, yellow or purple, poor or rich, gay or straight, or confused JESUS holds the keys to heaven and to hell, He sits at the right hand of God the Father, He loves all, He will forgive those who ask for forgiveness, His word tells us He cast our sins as far as the east is to the west, and He will direct our path and make it straight. Don't smite the very hand that breathes life into your very being. Heed CHRIST JESUS today and rejoice in His Blessing.

Have you ever actually met or spoke with some of these folks? I had never encountered this either until moving to Asheville. I have to say, I have several trangendered friends now and I find them to be some of the most intelligent, articulate, self-aware individuals I have ever known. Imagine how it must be to truly feel as if you are trapped in the wrong body. These people pursue a road to self realization that is harder than I can fathom. They deserve our respect and support...not judgement. Until you have walked in someone's shoes (dare I say high heels LOL!), don't pass judgement.

Transgendred women look like men in drag and transgendered men look like tomboys. That's not being judgmental, that's telling it like it is.

And that's why I suggested that transgendered people need prayers. I actually have run across transgendered people and thanks to our "anything goes" media, have seen and heard their arguments throughout my entire life. These people have serious issues. If they feel "trapped" in the "wrong body" then they'll have to take it up with God. Life isn't easy and isn't supposed to be easy. We all have struggles in life but we're expected to carry our crosses with dignity, working with and being thankful for what we have. Changing one's gender is very disprespectful to God and let's face it, doesn't look very convincing after the surgery is over. Transgendred women look like men in drag and transgendered men look like tomboys. That's not being judgmental, that's telling it like it is.

<quoted text>........What trans people do typically change (although not always) is aspects of their physical body. So, why would it be "disrepectful" to God to change a body part or take a hormone? All sorts of people change their physical bodies -- hair color, hair removal, nose jobs, tummy tucks, breast reductions/enhancements, removal of tonsils, replacement of real teeth with false teeth, all manner of surgeries. And all sorts of people take hormones as well. No one ever suggests that changing the body in these ways is "disrespectful to God."
