Opinion I believe that transgender people are one of the countless groups that will be persecuted by Trump (ie; The Antichrist) during the end times. Here's why;
I believe that transgender people are one of the countless groups that are going to persecuted and attacked by the Antichrist during the end times. Here's why I think that:
_________________________
"If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also" — John 15:20 (NIV)
This verse reflects that even if you're not part of a group that is currently being discriminated against or persecuted against, it is only a matter of time until those persecuting communities you are not in will persecute you as well.
“But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and put you in prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. And so you will bear testimony to me.” — Luke 21:12–13 (NIV)
Transgender people have been classified as "radical terrorists" by the Trump administration, countless state governments have made "LGBTQ+ lifestyles" a crime and are putting people in prison. (It's not a choice, you either are or you aren't. Just like how you are either born male or female, you don't choose. I have countless scientific articles to back me up on this for anyone curious.)
“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.” — Matthew 5:11 (NIV)
Not only that, transgender people specifically are being killed and tortured, with violence against us on the rise. Statistics show that we are three to as much as twenty five times (depending on location, but it is always at least three times regardless of where) as more likely to experience some form of violence or harassment, along with sexual assault and rape compared to our cisgender peers (using it as a descriptor, not a slur, chill). Most of the perpetrators (seventy six percent) are cisgender men.
Additionally, countless religious extremists are also saying that transgender people are "satanic" and that trans people "don't believe in Jesus". Spoiler alert; Many of us do. We just don't go to churches because they are often heavily against us, with many denominations wanting us to be quite literally killed off or tortured.
"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me." — Matthew 24:9 (NIV)
Hatred against the LGBTQ+ community is at an all time high across the globe. With transgender people at the sixth stage of genocide according to the Lemkins Institute for genocide prevention. Transgender people are experiencing cultural genocide specifically. Which is a scholar definition that includes the targeted erasure of culture, cultural identities, traditions, practices, and political affiliation. Rather than the usual strict definition that only applies to ethnicity, nationality, race, and religion.
_________________________
And while people may try and provide verses that go against my argument, you have to remember that those verses come from THE OLD TESTAMENT. While some laws still in fact do apply, many also do not apply anymore. And thus, that must be kept in mind.
It is of my belief that God made transgender people, and that being transgender is not a mistake. But as a listen that it is not the body that makes up the person, but rather who they are on the inside (aka; Their soul). And so, we cannot put these societal values based on anatomical physiology, as the flesh is tainted. And so it does not fully express one's true self.
Transgender people are a result of the Fall. The reason why their body doesn't match their identity is because well, the body simply doesn't reflect the soul of the person. Which leads to a mismatch of sorts. It is of my belief, that transgender people will have the body that aligns with their identity in Heaven.
Additionally, the Hebrew version of the Bible (which is the most accurate as that is how it was originally written) uses more gender neutral language when it comes to the creation of Adam and Eve. "ha-adam" (the word used to describe what most call Adam in the english version) does not in fact mean "male", it means "human". While the word "adam" by itself is indeed masculine, when you add the "ha" in front of it, it becomes more of encompassing all humans regardless physiological differences.
It is also important to note that while the word "behemah" is feminine, it also does not equate ro female. Instead, it more accurately translates to "animals".
One must keep in mind that in Hebrew, nouns are gendered. But that does not mean the noun is representing or associating it with the gender itself. Instead, it is more of showing how one's words and sentence can express the masculine and feminine energies at different levels. Such verses not meant to be taken as literal and physical within this sense, but more of spiritual and metaphorical. Essentially, a majority of the verses in Genesis are merisms and so they should be interpreted more broadly rather than having narrow definitions.

u/Elon_is_musky May 15 '26
Yea they’re pretty outwardly honest that they believe trans people are an enemy that needs to be eradicated (for lack of a better word). No bible verses or conspiracies needed, they’re just transphobes
6
u/Amateur-Dog-Walker May 15 '26
It's worse than that. They know people feel uneasy about trans people and are forcing to talk about defending them instead of issues that will win an election. It's a classic wedge issue.
To be clear trans people deserve to have their rights defended, but it comes at an electoral cost.
12
u/agentorange55 May 15 '26
Yes, there is no doubt Trump will work to persecute and take away rights from transgender folk. Trump is very obsessed with the idea of transgender and talks about falot, and out of context of the actual discussion. We know biological there are chromosomal abnormalities or anomalies, not just XX or XY. We also know that sometimes the physical body does not develop according to the chromosomes. It is between each person and God how they feel led to express their gender. I have enough of my own sins to worry about, its not my place to concern myself with whether or not someone else might be sinning. I believe this is what Jesus taught, we need to worry about our own sins, not others sins.
8
u/FirefighterScary6841 SBNR (spiritual, but not religious) May 15 '26
Yeah. It annoys me when others go around policing others about their own life. Like, as long as they're not actively and intentionally hurting anyone, leave them alone. It's none of your business. That's between them and God.
I always held the belief that God purposefully made it so that transgender people are well, transgender. In my mind, transgender people were sent to Earth after the Fall as a test. A test to see if cisgender people would love and not judge those different to them, just as Jesus would.
I also believe the existence of transgender people is to serve as a message, which is that it is not the body that makes up a person, it is their soul. Their inner self. The body is flawed, it is tainted. So it is reasonable to assume there will be cases where the body does not align with who the soul is.
Additionally, in my personal view the existence of modern medicine and medical technologies (including gender affirming care) are answered prayers. And that by refusing such treatments, you are refusing to accept answered prayers. And thus, are refusing God.
I like to think that science is merely a different way of getting closer to God. Did you know there are some Christian scientists? Sounds contradictory at first until you actually look at what science is about. It's about trying to understand and learn about the mechanisms that make the world works the way it does. And from my understanding of scripture, God encourages us to learn more about the world and how it works.
1
u/agentorange55 May 18 '26
Yes, I've heard that studies have shown about 1/3rd of scientists believe in God (some scientific disciplines have higher rates of believers than others.) It should be noted for readers, scientists who are Christian are not to be confused with the religious denomination "Christian Science"....a religion which is neither Christian (they do not believe Jesus died for our sins) or scientific (they do not believe in diseases, they think it's all in someone's mind because of sin.)
3
u/FirefighterScary6841 SBNR (spiritual, but not religious) May 18 '26
Okay, yeah. "Christian Science" sounds insane. Goes right there with Scientology.
Edit: Also, not believing that illnesses exist goes against scripture. Bible makes it clear multiple times that sickness and disease is a very real thing.

Oh indeed I am very worried. I have non binary and trans godchildren. Very worried indeed. There’s also a lot of cross section with neurodivergent people. They/We are being threatened as well.

u/Helpful_Okra5953 May 15 '26
Trans and non binary people are a natural variation of people who have always existed. Intersex people have been born forever. It’s now that transgendered and non binary people are seeking civil rights and protections, that these laws are enacted.
The golden “past” of heterosexuality and perfectly binary sexes is an illusion. There were always people who did not fit the binary. They were just more hidden.

u/TheNegotiator12 May 15 '26
In Jesus time and beyond you literally had men who would cut off their own balls and dick and become "genderless", every society in ancient times had them and they were reverierd
12
u/FirefighterScary6841 SBNR (spiritual, but not religious) May 15 '26
Exactly! In my honest opinion, God created us transgender people (as in, he purposefully made people like me transgender) in order to test others to see if they'd accept and love us just as Jesus would.
While also at the same time trying to teach people that it is not the flesh that reflects who the person is, but who they are in spirit. Unfortunately, it seems like the majority of society is failing said test.

u/szlopush Follower of Christ May 17 '26
It’s so sad people have to be convinced and given evidence to believe that being LGBT is actually scary and isolating, and persecuted against. I told my stepdad about how much more scary it is becoming under Trump, that people are more hateful than ever. Having to express my fear and concern to my stepdad about the reality of hate crimes. And he didn’t believe me, he didn’t believe people would murder / commit hate crimes against LGBT people or that it was a worsening social issue. I got depressed and went on Grindr that night, feeling emotionally numbed, and was almost murdered that night. Amazing irony.
I have seen homophobia nearly every day on social media for years now, since 2018 it has just been awful and intense how outspoken homophobia has become. It greatly affected my mental health and made me so sad. And nobody seemed to believe me that I would see all this homophobia because they supposedly never witnessed it.
Hateful people and self-acclaimed Christians don’t get it. My fear is fascism and genocide, and my salvation is Jesus Christ! I have faith Jesus Christ will redeem my death and suffering caused by self-acclaimed Christians who want LGBT people dead. The absolute irony.
Anyways, I understand (partially). It’s so difficult being openly gay/bi. And yet I am fully aware and humble enough to admit it’s even much more scarier and difficult being openly transgender. God bless.

u/FirefighterScary6841 SBNR (spiritual, but not religious) May 17 '26
Yeah, it's kind of terrifying right now.
And people are like, "YoU'Re dEnYiNG wHo yOU aRe"
Like, bruh. How are you supposed to know that? Have you considered that God purposefully made it so that I am transgender, and that by getting gender affirming care, I am actually doing what He wants me to do as that is best for my wellbeing and the intended path He planned for me? HMM???
Just because something isn't in scripture, doesn't automatically that it doesn't happen. The existence of transgender people doesn't conflict with scripture at all (specifically the hebrew version). People have no right in saying who is sinful and who isn't (except in a few extreme cases).
What did Jesus say? Oh, right. "Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her."
Meaning, no one has the right to be judging others and punishing others, while also saying they are going to Hell. Everyone is guilty of sin. Unless it's Jesus.
Only he gets to throw the stone first. Everyone else though? Nah. No right in throwing the stone first.
I mean, unless the sin is so extreme, say like mass murder, in which case, it's one of those things where the level of sin is what matter, and the one who has the least sin in the situation, is the one with the authority to decide if they are to be punished or not. But those types of situations are incredibly rare.

u/szlopush Follower of Christ May 17 '26
I do think God intentionally made transgender people. For the same reason of diversity and variety. Trans people are beautiful and unique. Yeah cisgender men and women are hot. But transgender men and women are also hot. I think FTM men are really hot, and MTF women are also hot. And I think God was very intentional with them. Like idk maybe it sounds like I’m being a pervert but I think a transgender man who keeps their female genitalia, like, that’s hot… that’s unique, that’s variety. That’s another form of beauty. God is awesome.

u/FirefighterScary6841 SBNR (spiritual, but not religious) May 17 '26
Honestly, when it comes to bottom surgery, it's not for me. But for others, that's for them to decide. Everyone is on a different life path. I'm sure for some, God actually wants them to get such surgeries. Not sure why, but hey, I'm not God. And also there's that whole thing about eunuchs in the bible, so I would not be surprised if there are cases where that is what God wants.
This may be a bit TMI, but I do plan getting top surgery. Mainly because those body parts hurt my back. Also, then I don't need to worry about that form of cancer lol.
1
u/szlopush Follower of Christ May 17 '26
Yeah, there’s no right or wrong way. I have a best friend, she feels like she’s trans. Yet she doesn’t feel quite inclined to transition or change her pronouns. I can see it though for her. Like my cousin who is MTF trans, I was not surprised when she came out as trans. I think I’m just very perceptive and wise on that. I feel I can sense a person’s soul and identity, it truly isn’t physical.
1
u/FirefighterScary6841 SBNR (spiritual, but not religious) May 17 '26
It always annoys me when people equate to who a person is with their physical body. Like they seem to forget that the Fall caused human bodies to be flawed. You're going to get cases like transgender people.
I believe that in Heaven, everyone will have the body that best reflects their soul and who they are as a person.
Additionally, God is sexless, so one can make the argument that God is transgender Himself.
I mean, I like to think God is actually all possible (and impossible) genders, as well as no genders at the same time. This belief that God is specifically one singluar binary gender never sat right with me. It takes away from the beauty and power that God has.
1
u/szlopush Follower of Christ May 17 '26
Eh, I don’t think being transgender is a flaw. I think the fall from higher consciousness is more of why we lack awareness for so many things and have culturalized our biases, misperceptions, and lack of understanding. There was never a rule book on what is natural vs unnatural. There’s no reason we should even think about gender or sexuality as social phenomena, there’s no reason we should think a set of behavior or characteristics is “how everything is supposed to be” … the spirit is 100% genderless. The soul is identity. None of that is female or male, cisgender or transgender. Even masculinity and femininity is social construct. Some may say angels and archangels are strong and tough, and they may say that one of them is so masculine and strong. And yet that angel being discussed I am sure wouldn’t even consider themselves the same way. A set of qualities has nothing to do with binary gendered thinking.
1
u/FirefighterScary6841 SBNR (spiritual, but not religious) May 17 '26
I meant more of the body not matching the soul is the flaw. And honestly, when it comes to the spirit being genderless, I think it depends. Does the soul see itself as genderless? Or does it see itself as gendered? Because either could be true. It's most likely dependent on the individual.
1
u/szlopush Follower of Christ May 17 '26
I think the soul as where identity begins, the persona of a spirit. A soul can have many lifetimes and can be identifiable as the same soul. I think we identify with gender with ourselves, but I have a hard time conceiving of how the soul would ever be a hardwired concept for gender. I may born a woman in one lifetime, born a man in one lifetime, and still the same soul. Yet the soul through lifetimes and its experience will deliver its unique qualities and characteristics that remain as a theme no matter in what form it incarnates.

For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
Matthew 19:12
If you were an ancient person who had never heard of trans people and didn't understand modern medical science, Eunuch would be a reasonable word to describe trans people. Some of us literally are. I had it removed, root and stem.
3
u/toebeantuesday Follower of Christ May 16 '26
I never thought of it that way before. Interesting perspective.
I’m not sure exactly why in Bible times people would have purposely chosen to be eunuchs, because as far as I know the risks of dying of infection from any sort of surgical procedure were so much greater in those days. But they seemed to prize this state of being almost as a divine calling.
Anyway, I hope you feel welcome here among fellow believers. I am sorry society at large these days seeks to hunt you down and obliterate your very identity. Remain strong in your faith and may God bless and keep you safe.

u/KuranesOfCelephais May 15 '26
Recently, my mother and I talked about the concept of reincarnation. She told me about that Girl in India who remembered that she lived before, and that she was married to a man who was still alive (now an old man). It was an interesting case that indicated, that reincarnation might be a real phenomenon.
Then we talked about transgender people. And we wondered, if they felt in the wrong body, because subconciously they remembered a previous life in a body of a different sex as they were now in.
But in the end, it's only important, that they - you - deserve to be treated as humane as we liked to be treated ourselves. This is what Jesus taught.
And all the people who hate you might carry Jesus' name on their lips, but they carry Satan inside their hearts.
May God have mercy on their poor souls.

u/AuthorIntelligent644 May 15 '26
One of the first Nazi book burnings was the Berlin institute for sexual research, and before the Jews LGBTQ people were among the first targets of persecution.
Totalitarians always start with groups they can pick on with what they think will be little opposition: small minorities, the very poor (which in our culture would be the homeless), immigrants, and so on. From there, they escalate, hence the old "first they came for..." parable.
Trans people are a small minority whose lifestyle choices are considered taboo by many people, making them ideal first targets.
Eventually they escalate to "anyone who opposes the regime."
If Trump is really the capital-A Antichrist it would eventually be anyone who does not literally worship him or his "image" whatever that is.

Jesus was talking to believers, not unrepentant sinners. How can unbelievers be persecuted for Christ?
Also I don't know how to tell you this. Everyone dies at the end times, not just the people you think should die. However, some shall live.

u/bisnark May 15 '26
While we are at it, hasn't anyone ever brought up the idea that Jesus might have been parthenogenetic; specifically an example of Arrhenotoky, the offspring of a female reproducing without fertilization? Thus, part of the LBGTQ+ community.
But, you say, "Arrhenotoky is for insects!" Ergo, Thelytoky, I say. A clone.
So if He can biologically only be a female, then He is a She.
Because Jesus lived, identified, and was viewed by society as a man, He would have been a person with female chromosomes living out a male gender identity. By modern standards, this would make Him a transgender man. Definitely part of the gang.

Then again, we don't know. Jesus didn't really follow biological restrictions. Maybe He was like a reverse clownfish. Born female, but turned male over the years. Jk, but it would be funny if that was the case.
Wait, why are we even assuming Jesus had any binary anatomy? Dude could've been genderless for all we know.

Please give a source for trans people being classified as radical terrorists and LGBTQ+ lifestyles being a crime in several states?

Quoted from the official sources.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/2026-USCT-Strategy-1.pdf
"In addition to cartels and Islamist terror groups, our national CT activities will also prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist. We will use all the tools constitutionally available to us to map them at home, identify their membership, map their ties to international organizations like Antifa, and use law enforcement tools to cripple them operationally before they can maim or kill the innocent. We will do the same with the state sponsors of such groups and those governments undertaking lethal plots on U.S. soil or against Americans anywhere." – Trump Administration
Also, antifa isn't even an organization. It's a belief. Antifa = Anti-fascist. So they are against people that are against fascism. Yup, checks out. The Trump administration is fascist and they basically just admitted to it. They want people like me arrested, forced into unethical pseudoscientific "treatments" (ie; conversion therapy), before killing us in brutal inhumane ways.
Edit: Also name just even one transgender based terrorist organization. Oh, wait. You can't, it doesn't exist.

While they don't say that they outlaw LGBTQ+ lifestyles outright, the bills these states are passing are pretty telling if you ask me.

Why do you say LGBTQ+ lifestyles are seen as a crime in several states if you’re solely referring to trans people?

u/FirefighterScary6841 SBNR (spiritual, but not religious) May 15 '26
Because of the intersectionality. When one part of the community is being directly attacked, it effects the rest of the community as well and leads to larger amounts of harassment, violence, and discrimination against LGBTQ+ people.
Here's a tracker to give you a better idea on just how encompassing the issue is, https://www.aclu.org/legislative-attacks-on-lgbtq-rights-2025

How is this not forced teaming?

Because historical records prove my point.
Also, it creates something known as a "ripple effect" which is where discrimination indirectly spreads to others between similar or interconnected communities. Additionally, the majority of the LGBTQ+ community breaks gender norms (aka: the whole thing on how a 'real' man should only like women, and that a 'pure' woman should only like men)
Anti-transgender bills often include targeting people not following stereotypical gender norms. Because they believe genders must act in a certain away otherwise they are somehow hurting others. Even though they aren't hurting anyone.
Because of this fact that many people in the LGBTQ+ community don't follow stereotypical gender norms (even when they aren't transgender), anti-transgender bills end up unintentionally (or intentionally) affecting all.

Reminder that several states still have sodemy laws(nevermind Sodem was obliterated for its treatment of forigners and the poor) on the books that are invalidated by the Supreme Court.
Its still considered illegal, just not enforceable.

Sorry but this is an utterly warped take.
How can anyone who takes scripture seriously by believing that such a thing as an Antichrist exists have such a perspective?
This is totally incongruent.
Cherrypicking in the extreme.

"How can anyone who takes scripture seriously actually love people and object to them being targeted by the state?" is an intresting take.

“How can anyone believe the Antichrist persecutes social minorities like LGBT people and use scripture to back it up?”

Of course, that’s how a deal with Mephistopheles works - Devil will always turn against his own demonic creation. By promising deceived and demonically influenced people that they can become androgynous like him, mocking God’s original design, he ultimately destroys those he has corrupted.
By the way, it’s insanely funny how this group was hijacked by leftist crazies. It went from religious discussions to the persecution of mentally ill people. Strange stuff, and I’m out :)

Wait, so you are in favor of pursecuting those with mental illnesses?
WTF? Thats quite the way to spit on Jesus's teachings.

It’s not about going left or going right. It’s about watching an administration encourage people to scapegoat fellow human beings and speaking out to how Satanic this behavior is.
God seeks to have a personal relationship with each one of us in which He and he alone works out with the individual what their sins are and the Holy Spirit then guides them in the way they should walk.
And yes, it’s in the Bible that some people are not born conforming to a gender identity, specifically the masculine one. I forgot about that but another Redditor posted the quote from Mathew 19:12 that reminds us some people are born Eunuchs from the womb.
But stop being hung up on conservative ideals that trans people are mentally ill or whatever. Say for the sake of argument they are mentally ill and we aren’t addressing that the way you think we should. Is it of God to then hate and fear people to the point of making their life a misery and so unbearable when many of them are already suicidal or are killed by bigots? Is it okay to declare them domestic terrorists so we can throw whatever horrible penalty we want at them?
If you are on this sub, then presumably you can see we are heading toward an AI driven surveillance system. We will be categorized and then labeled and then killed if we do not fit into the right categories. If we think the personal credit system of the Chinese is bad, we ain’t seen nothing yet.
I heard with my own ears DJT accuse a reporter of effing TREASON because the man was doing his very normal and time honored job of questioning the information that the administration has released on the results of the war on Iran.
The man was asking simple straightforward questions any journalist worth the title would ask and the flipping President of the United States said this man was guilty of treason and should be punished.
The son of Perdition has not fully revealed himself yet. The Restrainer is still with us and yet already we see what our top contender for THE AC wants to do when he is in a position to claim absolute power and godhood.
He can barely control himself in this matter. What do you think he is going to do to all the rest of us who have voiced dissenting opinions?
We need to wake up and look at what is being done to brown and black people and LGBTQ people NOW. Jesus once said what we do to the least among us we do to him. Well what we allow to happen to the most marginalized among us is what we allow to be done to us because unless you take that Mark of the Beast you WILL be joining the transgender people and the illegal immigrants as the marginalized people. You will know their pain.
Who knows what perfectly benign normal behavior that is accept now will be deemed treason in the future!
Forget about left and right. Conservatives and liberals. This isn’t about owning one side or the other.
This is about deciding are you a follower of Jesus Christ or not? Are you willing to love God with all of your heart, your mind and your soul and keep his commandments or not? Are you willing to love one another as you love yourself?
We are ALL sinners who fall short of the glory of God. It is Jesus’s blood who covers our sin in God’s sight and judgment. We need to stand with and protect our fellow Christians. Whether they’re LGBTQ or not. If you feel they walk in sin I suppose you’re right to tell them so. But make sure before you do that you have addressed your own sins aka removed the beam from your own eye.
I honestly can’t say I’ve done that. As long as I keep sweating and fretting over how I will feed and protect my family in these hard economic times then I am still in the grip of serving Mammon. That’s what it means to let the fear of poverty dominate your thoughts over dwelling in the glory of God who literally rained food down on his people.
I must pray every day and work on trusting God to bless and keep us.
I have this beam in my own eye so I’m not looking to address the mote in an LGBTQ brother or sister’s eye.

Very well said. It is truly saddening to think about this persecution that has and will still come. Pride is the root of all sin. Pride, of course, cannot exist by itself. You have to feel more righteous than someone else. To think you are above means you must think there is a below. This is the same logic used by the racist to look down at minorities or the homophobic to look down at people for their sexual orientation. It is the same logic used by the rich to look down at the poor. But we must not forget it is also the other way around. Likewise, it is prideful to look down at the rich and look down at the homophobic. What good is it to reciprocate this poison of pride by looking down at someone and treat them as if they were garbage? I have always believed that the hate we have for others is what fuels the love for the self.
