Or my genitals anyway

God is the one with the expectations too

And He made you one way

Ye trans

She made me trans

Why would God concern themselves with such trivial matters

Blasphemy

@LustrousMandrill God cares about everything

I really hope danacrag is a larper

A really committed larper

I'm not

As long as you're a fundamentally good person, why would they care about something like how you choose to express yourself in the 3D material world?

Embracing your given role is being good tho

Rejecting it is immoral

Imagine probably being a trans woman but thinking God exists and cares if you wear pink clothes or use nice smelling shampoo or use different pronouns

Yep

My "given role" sucked

We must carry our crosses.

The path to heaven isnt easy

I'd rather look cute than go to heaven

Am I even allowed to do bdsm in heaven? Doubt it

💤 boring

You'll look cuter in heaven tho

I wouldn't care in heaven though

No sex or drugs

I'm hell you will be twisted in the worst form imaginable

You will have happiness instead of pleasure

Brb

So let's say someone has a problem with their heart or another vital organ and needs surgery to fix it and improve their chances for survival. Or even if they have depression and need medication to help them find relief from it. Is it immoral to go through with the surgery or take the medication because you're rejecting the role you've been given, i.e. being unhealthy and miserable?

I'm curious to see where God draws the line with such things.

There is a difference between treatment for an illness and completely changing your body so you can reject your expected role

Also I'm actually unsure about organ donations

Christians aren't really supposed to donate their organs

Which may imply receiving an organ is also immoral

And I'm pretty sceptical when it comes to drug treatments for many mental illnesses

Well, I do know that people of certain religious affiliations (I think Jehovah's Witnesses do this?) refuse to accept organ transplants because they think it's immoral

There is also something I find strange about having another's heart inside you. Often the heart of someone younger given to someone older.

It disturbs me

Anyway, how do we tell which things are illnesses and which are just expected roles? If your "expected role" is causing you distress (i.e. gender dysphoria), would it not make sense to treat it as a form of illness as well and try to mitigate it by changing the thing that's causing you distress in the first place? It seems to me that your argument could just as easily be applied to, for example, depressed people, as it could be said that being depressed is just their given role designated by their biology and that it's immoral to try to change that.

Suffering is caused by sin

The through suffer comes greater good
