I believe that transgender people are one of the countless groups that are going to persecuted and attacked by the Antichrist during the end times. Here's why I think that:
_________________________
"If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also" — John 15:20 (NIV)
This verse reflects that even if you're not part of a group that is currently being discriminated against or persecuted against, it is only a matter of time until those persecuting communities you are not in will persecute you as well.
“But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and put you in prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. And so you will bear testimony to me.” — Luke 21:12–13 (NIV)
Transgender people have been classified as "radical terrorists" by the Trump administration, countless state governments have made "LGBTQ+ lifestyles" a crime and are putting people in prison. (It's not a choice, you either are or you aren't. Just like how you are either born male or female, you don't choose. I have countless scientific articles to back me up on this for anyone curious.)
“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.” — Matthew 5:11 (NIV)
Not only that, transgender people specifically are being killed and tortured, with violence against us on the rise. Statistics show that we are three to as much as twenty five times (depending on location, but it is always at least three times regardless of where) as more likely to experience some form of violence or harassment, along with sexual assault and rape compared to our cisgender peers (using it as a descriptor, not a slur, chill). Most of the perpetrators (seventy six percent) are cisgender men.
Additionally, countless religious extremists are also saying that transgender people are "satanic" and that trans people "don't believe in Jesus". Spoiler alert; Many of us do. We just don't go to churches because they are often heavily against us, with many denominations wanting us to be quite literally killed off or tortured.
"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me." — Matthew 24:9 (NIV)
Hatred against the LGBTQ+ community is at an all time high across the globe. With transgender people at the sixth stage of genocide according to the Lemkins Institute for genocide prevention. Transgender people are experiencing cultural genocide specifically. Which is a scholar definition that includes the targeted erasure of culture, cultural identities, traditions, practices, and political affiliation. Rather than the usual strict definition that only applies to ethnicity, nationality, race, and religion.
_________________________
And while people may try and provide verses that go against my argument, you have to remember that those verses come from THE OLD TESTAMENT. While some laws still in fact do apply, many also do not apply anymore. And thus, that must be kept in mind.
It is of my belief that God made transgender people, and that being transgender is not a mistake. But as a listen that it is not the body that makes up the person, but rather who they are on the inside (aka; Their soul). And so, we cannot put these societal values based on anatomical physiology, as the flesh is tainted. And so it does not fully express one's true self.
Transgender people are a result of the Fall. The reason why their body doesn't match their identity is because well, the body simply doesn't reflect the soul of the person. Which leads to a mismatch of sorts. It is of my belief, that transgender people will have the body that aligns with their identity in Heaven.
Additionally, the Hebrew version of the Bible (which is the most accurate as that is how it was originally written) uses more gender neutral language when it comes to the creation of Adam and Eve. "ha-adam" (the word used to describe what most call Adam in the english version) does not in fact mean "male", it means "human". While the word "adam" by itself is indeed masculine, when you add the "ha" in front of it, it becomes more of encompassing all humans regardless physiological differences.
It is also important to note that while the word "behemah" is feminine, it also does not equate ro female. Instead, it more accurately translates to "animals".
One must keep in mind that in Hebrew, nouns are gendered. But that does not mean the noun is representing or associating it with the gender itself. Instead, it is more of showing how one's words and sentence can express the masculine and feminine energies at different levels. Such verses not meant to be taken as literal and physical within this sense, but more of spiritual and metaphorical. Essentially, a majority of the verses in Genesis are merisms and so they should be interpreted more broadly rather than having narrow definitions.
