Study time
I remember many lessons on 2nd Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth". It was presented to me recently that a new article had surfaced "showing there is no scientific evidence of Transgenderism". It was supposed to have been written by 2 professors from Johns Hopkins University. That lesson growing up rang in my head so I went in search. The article I found was posted on "The New Atlantis" and titled Sexuality and Gender.
written by Lawrence Mayer and Paul McHugh.
The section of importance to me was part 3 on gender identity (page 86). After having read this article, I see where there is opportunity for more research, however no evidence stating that Gender Identity, Gender Disphoria, or transexualism has no scientific basis.
