THE MEDICAL SCIENCE
In current medical science, sex steadfastly remains defined based on biological characteristics, with males generally having one X and one Y chromosome (XY) and females having two X chromosomes (XX).
Medical and genetic research recognizes exceptions to this binary classification to be only 0.018%, or approximately 1 in 5,500 births. Such conditions don’t even often result in what some consider to be “transgenderism” – making it even a more improbable percentage of the population.
There has been no shortage of new medical technology in the past 5 decades that could have been leveraged to draw a different conclusion, yet this has solidly remained the science. Any recent revelations about this topic often come from a motivation that undermines honest science, such as pride, greed, and a natural desire to justify deviant sexual desires.
THE BIBLE
While some will tend to shy away from bringing the Bible into the conversation, and others will treat it with outward disdain, the Bible is relevant to this conversation as a widely held worldview. No Christian should ever back down and accept the premise of an atheist or the government that the Bible is not a valid part of the conversation.
God clearly states that He made Male and Female. The roles for male and females are persistent throughout the Bible.
Two main approaches are used to deceive and manipulate people away from accepting Biblical authority:
1) Feminism – trying to mock and belittle the roles that each had in marriage and in culture to inspire envy and pride.
2) Eunuchs – men who were born that way, those made that way by others, and those who chose to live like that for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The term “eunuch” traditionally refers to men. The Bible makes no indication that these men were not “male”, nor does it ever condone transgender behaviors.
IDENTITY & VALUE
One of the biggest mistakes that people make, especially young people, is to believe the lie that your value is based upon what others think of you. Your value is not at all based on the popularity of a sexual fad, your skin color, or your appearance at all. Do not be fooled into chasing the fickle fads of the moment. Years later (or even much sooner) you will find yourself terribly disappointed and disillusioned. You can never really make yourself happy through the acceptance of others. This is meaningless chasing after the wind.
Regardless if you choose to accept this or not, your meaning, value, and identity come from your Creator. While many reject that, they always try to replace it with something else that is empty and temporary.
Jesus Christ requires only your faith in belief and your honest repentance. He does not expect perfection through your own efforts. All other religions expect you to perform to obtain acceptance, and you can never do enough or be sure of your salvation. You can rest in Jesus and never worry again about never being good enough.

CONCLUSION
It is clear that “transgenderism” is merely a social psychological contagion that has never before existed in all of human history – and did not “bloom” until the invention and widespread use of social media by adolescents.
There is no compelling reason to ruin female sports or destroy privacy in bathrooms and locker rooms for such nonsense.
Adults who spread the concepts in an attempt to normalize transgenderism are destructive and abusive to young people. Study after study shows that “affirming care” does not reduce “suicidality”. Do not fall for the petty emotional manipulation from those who would tell you otherwise. Affirming a known-to-be destructive behavior is neither love nor compassion.
Transgenderism has no business in K-12 education or athletics. If adults choose to change their natural body chemistry, or mutilate their body parts, that is their choice to do so. But, it is not their choice to force their point of view on children or their parents. Nor should anyone be required to give up their strongly held beliefs or be forced into compelled speech.
