A researcher has found that of the 16 moderators of Reddit's sub for lesbians, 11 of them were biologically male transwomen. The forum has now been closed down because too many women on there only wanted to date other biological women, and this was considered 'transphobic'

Someone should check to see if any of these trans women mods have any sort of religious affiliation. The reason why I bring this up is because i’ve noticed that there is a huge similarity between TRA’s and most religious thought. There’s just too much similarity between the two - the abusive language, the abusive rhetoric - I’m wondering if there are religious extremists using TRA’s to get lesbians to fuck men and vice versa with gay men fucking women. I say this because I have noticed that the religious people that I’ve talked to seem to be fine with trans individuals but aren’t okay with LGB people. i.e in the Middle East it’s okay to be trans but not okay to go be gay and some places have even government funded transitions for trans people but will kill gays.

If they have religious affiliation, it's not going to be Christian. Christian conservatives believe that trans is a rejection of how God made you and that you're in serious sin. Christian liberals don't have the backbone to condemn anything except for intolerance.

I was thinking about that too and started to do some googling: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_people_and_religion

The New Testament presents eunuchs (Greek eunochos, similar to Hebrew saris) as acceptable candidates for evangelism and baptism, as demonstrated in the account of the conversion of an Ethiopian eunuch.[5] While answering questions about marriage and divorce, Jesus says that "there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven."[6] Discussion has occurred about the significance of the selection of the Ethiopian eunuch as being an early gentile convert to Christianity: the inclusion of a eunuch, representing a sexual minority, in the context of the time.[7]

Some Christian denominations accept transgender people as members and clergy

They didn’t have a difference between conservatives and liberals though

Apologies, I should have been more specific. I meant theologically conservative or liberal, which in my experience is almost completely detached from politically conservative or liberal. I grew up in politically conservative, theologically liberal churches.

As far as eunuchs and transgenders go: God has selected for Himself a people with members from every tribe and tongue and social status. Christians are called to disciple all kinds of people, but to be a Christian means to believe that Jesus is the Son of God, died for our sins on the cross, rose again on the third day, and to also repent of our sins and follow Jesus as our Lord which means obeying His commands. And just as there are people of all kinds who are saved, there are people of all kinds who are unrepentant.

Unrepentant sin and the holiness we as believers are called to strive for mix like oil and water. Hence why woke trans and theologically conservative churches are incompatible at a group level.
