In all fairness, the Bible doesn’t say all that much about gender in the first place, nor does it say anything about transgenders
Mainline Christian church installs first openly trans bishop
A California church installed the first openly transgender bishop of a mainline Christian denomination in San Francisco.
The Rev. Megan Rohrer was named bishop in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America on Saturday, saying the recognition is humbling.
“It’s fancy new embroidery but still first part of doing a new job, you want to do well since so many people around the world are paying attention,” Rohrer told Fox2 in the Bay Area. “Becoming a bishop is one more field that trans people can be fully equal.”
Rohrer is set to serve a six-year term and preside over the Sierra Pacific Synod, which consists of roughly 200 Lutheran congregations.
The road to becoming bishop has not been smooth, according to Rohrer, who was the first transgender chaplain of the San Francisco Police Department.
Rohrer had reportedly been excluded from the church for its regulations against those in the gay and transgender community.
“She” doesn’t look much like a woman, eh? As far as being the bishop, I guess this all depends on the parishioners. Do they care? Will they have a problem with some with obvious mental illness? And, is that low level mental illness but a person who is well adjusted and safe, or, like a lot of trans, who are dealing with serious mental illness up to the point of suicidal thoughts? Or, will this drive many away?
(Religion News) Really, it is not all that complicated. There are only six verses used when discussing same-sex relationships. With transgender identities, the only verse that could be interpreted in addressing transgender people is Deuteronomy 22:5.
The verse says, “A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this.â€
Anyone who reads Deuteronomy 22:5 and thinks it addresses transgender identities doesn’t have a firm grasp on transgender identities. If anything, this verse more accurately responds to cross dressing — not gender identity.
There really isn’t any difference. Even if a man “identifies” as a woman, he’s not. He’s male. Hence, cross dressing. The bigger issue is, Rohrer is gay, and there is prohibitions on same sex relationships. Though, being honest, if he/she isn’t raping young boys like we’ve seen in the Catholic Church, and preaching God’s Word, that’s fine.
Rohrer hopes that being bishop will elucidate the dedication that gay and transgender members have toward faith.
Will Rohrer push SJW stuff from the pulpit, or stick with religion?
Transgender MMA fighter chokes out female competitor in debut match
Transgender mixed martial arts fighter Alana McLaughlin, a biological male, defeated her opponent via rear-naked choke in a Friday debut fight.
McLaughlin, 38, began transitioning in 2010 after leaving the U.S. Army Special Forces, Outsports.com reported. The transgender fighter beat Celine Provost, a biological female, 3 minutes and 32 seconds into the second round. McLaughlin began training in the sport a year ago and was cleared to compete against women by the Florida State Boxing Commission after a hormone level test.
He beat the snot out of her, taking a win away from a woman in a woman’s division. Piers Morgan, who makes a lot of sense on things other than firearms, notes
It was the moment ideology met cold, hard reality.
Alana McLaughlin, 38, the second transgender MMA fighter to compete in the sport, used a powerful choke hold to beat Celine Provost, 32.
The latter was demonstrably a more skilled and experienced fighter during their bout on Friday night – McLaughlin only took up MMA earlier this year, whereas Provost’s been doing it for a decade – but just couldn’t compete with the overwhelming physical strength of her opponent.
Provost’s punches bounced off McLaughlin like a baby lion’s off its father, and when she was pinned to the ground, she couldn’t move and quickly tapped out.
Take a peak at the article: McLaughlin looks nothing like a woman.

With polls now showing Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom ahead by double-digit margins on the eve of California’s much-hyped recall election, voters here seem ready to reject the laissez-faire COVID-19 policies that have failed to contain huge summer surges in Republican-led states such as Florida — and vindicate the Golden State’s more careful approach to the hypercontagious Delta variant.
Green groups backing the Democrats’ $3.5 trillion spending package are aiming their fury at one of the bill’s most powerful opponents: corporate business lobbies that claim to support action on climate change.
