“Got Questions’ The Bible nowhere explicitly mentions transgenderism or describes anyone as having transgender feelings. However, the Bible has plenty to say about human sexuality. Most basic to our understanding of gender is that God created two (and only two) genders: “male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27).

From Josh Weidman in CHURCHLEADERS:
How is God leading you today and in what ways, if any, are you hesitating to obey? In what ways may you be too attached to this world that it keeps you from following God? Where in your life do you need to experience God’s grace and unending faithfulness; a faithfulness that can restore you when you have gone astray and lead you towards God?
