ELCA Bishop wants TRansgender Students to Be allowed to use opposite sex showers and bathrooms

2/25/2016

The South Dakota state legislature recently passed a bill that “require(s) public-school students to use facilities that match their biological sex, according to the Washington Times.”

“…Under the bill, 'every restroom, locker room, and shower room located in a public elementary or secondary school that is designated for student use and is accessible by multiple students at the same time shall be designated for and used only by students of the same biological sex.'" (read here) The governor has yet to sign the bill.

ELCA South Dakota synod bishop, David Zellmer, does not like this bill and he took to social media to lobby for its defeat saying, “I have contacted South Dakota Governor Dennis Daugaard and urged him to veto HB 1008 – legislation that would prevent transgender students in public schools from using restrooms and other facilities consistent with their gender identity.” (see here)

The South Dakota Synod, ELCA posted their bishop's message and it received overwhelming approval with 200+ "likes" and over 200 "shares." (see below)

What kind of evil and craziness is this, that people actually want to place males in the showers and bathrooms of public school girls?
"My people are fools; they do not know me. They are senseless children; they have no understanding. They are skilled in doing evil; they know not how to do good." Jeremiah 4:22

Thank God for Franklin Graham, a watchman on the wall, who said, “This week the South Dakota state legislature passed a bill that requires students in public schools to use the bathroom, shower, and locker room that correspond to their biological sex. Who would’ve thought just a couple of years ago that a law would be needed to enforce something as basic as this? I think it’s a wise step of protection and applaud the state legislature for their boldness. Gay and transgender rights activists are already threatening that this could put the schools at risk of lawsuits. We’re not surprised are we?” (see here)

Martin Luther and many South Dakotans don't stand with Bishop Zellmer's anti-Biblical apostasy and anti-science agitprop.

Luther on “The Estate of Marriage” (1522)-- https://brendenlink.wordpress.com/2013/03/09/luther-on-the-estate-of-marriage-1522/

Martin Luther: "...Therefore, each one of us must have the kind of body God has created for us. I cannot make myself a woman, nor can you make yourself a man; we do not have that power. But we are exactly as he created us: I a man and you a woman. Moreover, he wills to have his excellent handiwork honoured as his divine creation, and not despised. The man is not to despise or scoff at the woman or her body, nor the woman the man. But each should honour the other’s image and body as a divine and good creation that is well-pleasing unto God himself."

...The Trans Lobby Suppresses Research

Recently New York Magazine published a very long story about a respected sex researcher who had been fired for holding and practicing theories about gender dysphoria that may not be spoken anymore. In short, a kangaroo court “independent” investigation found Dr. Kenneth Zucker guilty. His crime was approaching childhood gender dysphoria as a condition most children overcome and urging parents to push their children toward their determined sex.

To Zucker’s opponents, mainly trans advocates, the treatments he provided at Toronto’s Gender Identity Clinic amounted to conversion therapy. They saw no difference between his scientifically based sex research and religious-based attempts to turn gay people straight. The problem with this analogy is that the majority of children who display gender dysphoria do not go on to transition to a different gender. Zucker was not converting anyone. He was working with children to determine if their feelings truly represented a desire to change gender, or if they could be handled without recourse to such a dramatic step.

For trans advocates this is heresy. Indeed, their preferred approach, known as “gender affirmation,” is to treat every child confused about his or her gender as if he or she will eventually transition to a new gender. These advocates are free to argue their position with facts and science, but that is not what is happening, as Zucker’s case shows.

The Center for Addiction and Mental Health, which operated the Gender Identity Center and was Zucker’s employer, bowed to pressure to launch an investigation into his work. But this was not an investigation in any real sense. Rather, it was a bald-faced attempt to destroy the career of a man who had dedicated his work to helping children.

As New York Magazine put it: “if you look closely at what really happened — if you read the review (which CAMH has now pulled off of its website), speak with the activists who effectively wrote large swaths of it, examine the scientific evidence, and talk to former GIC clinicians and the parents of patients they worked with, it’s hard not to come to an uncomfortable, politically incorrect conclusion: Zucker’s defenders are right. This was a show trial.”

Trans Advocates Place Politics Above Children

What must be understood is that these activists, less interested in science or the well-being of children than in their own bizarre delusions, are the same people fighting South Dakota’s new proposal. They believe gender is nothing more than a metaphysical state of mind—a religion of gender, if you will. These activists are willing to harm the mental well-being of children to justify their own belief system. These activists are willing to lie to destroy those who disagree with them. . . .

If your six-year-old child says that he's a bear, you really don't have to take him to a psychiatrist, or to a veterinarian.

The bill was actually very reasonable. It allowed local schools to work out a solution such as a separate changing area or bathroom. So if a boy is pretending to be a girl, the schools can give him his on little room to change clothes in.
There was a case in Seattle last month where a middle-aged man went into the girls locker room at a YMCA and undressed. He said Washington state law allows him to do this. Is that what the ELCA stands for.

Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
