BIG QUESTION: Does God allow for a distinction between biological sex and gender? ANSWER: No. To introduce gender as a new category of personhood in pursuit of a new sexual identity, is unnatural to the creation order and harmful to the purpose for which God made us.
BIG QUESTION: Does God permit us to change our sex? ANSWER: Certainly not. To reverse how God created us based on fallen thought and self-perceptions would be rebellion and distortion of God's creative handiwork in forming us for His glory.
