La verdad sobre el transgénero Parte 2
Por Lisa*
En el libro Cuando Harry vino a ser Sally (When Harry Became Sally), Ryan Anderson explica que cuando los investigadores siguieron a personas que se sometieron a una cirugía de reasignación de sexo durante 30 años en Suecia (una cultura que apoya fuertemente a las personas transgénero), encontraron que aquellos que habían tenido la cirugía todavía luchaban con graves disturbios mentales. La tasa de suicidio de aquellos que se sometieron a cirugía aumentó a 20 veces la de sus pares comparables. Concluyó que la transición al género opuesto no produce la felicidad que la gente busca. Tal vez esto se deba a que sus problemas son mucho más profundos.
Más de 100 estudios de seguimiento de transexuales postoperatorios fueron realizados por la Universidad de Birmingham. Se llegó a la conclusión de que ninguno de esos estudios aportaba pruebas de que la reasignación de género fuera beneficiosa. La administración Obama llegó a la misma conclusión en 2016. Un estudio de los Centros Obama para Medicare y Medicaid señaló una probabilidad 19 veces mayor de muerte por suicidio en individuos que se sometieron a una cirugía de reasignación de sexo. Los Centros de Servicios de Medicare y Medicaid concluyeron que, sobre la base de una revisión exhaustiva de los estudios clínicos, no había suficiente evidencia para demostrar que la cirugía de reasignación de sexo beneficiaba a sus pacientes en absoluto. Esta es la razón por la que el seguro no lo ha cubierto . . . hasta ahora.
Consecuencias de las reasignaciones de sexo
Decirle a una persona confundida de género que debe hacer la transición es como decirle a un bulímico, “Sí, sé que sólo tienes 80 libras y desperdicias, pero como todavía piensas que estás gorda, supongo que dejarte operar con “bypass” gástrico no podría afectar si te ayudará a sentirte más delgada”.
Jamie Shupe, la primera persona en obtener una clasificación sexual “no binaria” en Estados Unidos, tiene mucho que decir sobre los males de la medicina transgénero. Después de participar en ella durante seis años, dice que lo dejó con una “psique eternamente cicatrizada” y una serie de problemas de salud. Convencido de que fue una mujer durante una crisis de salud mental en 2013, el terapeuta de Jamie le recomendó comenzar con los bloqueadores de estrógeno y testosterona. Jamie dice: “Creía que usar una peluca larga, vestidos, tacones y maquillaje me convertiría en una mujer. Lo mejor que podría haber pasado habría sido que alguien ordenara terapia intensiva que me hubiera protegido de mi inclinación a la vestimenta cruzada. En cambio, los inconscientes de la comunidad médica dijeron: ‘Tu identidad de género es femenina'”.
Cuando Jamie comenzó el proceso de transición, los médicos y terapeutas le dijeron que pronto experimentaría un impulso positivo en la salud mental. “Fue justo lo contrario”, dice. “Desestabilizaba mi salud mental porque vivía en una falsa realidad. Estaba luchando contra mi cuerpo . . . Entiendo perfectamente por qué esto mata a la gente y por qué hay una tasa de suicidio tan alta . . . Es el programa en sí lo que nos está matando”.
Jamie más tarde salió de la transición y actualmente habla en contra de la medicina transgénero. Ahora admite: “Toda mi confusión sexual estaba en mi cabeza. Deberían haberme tratado. En cambio, en cada paso, los médicos, jueces y grupos de defensa consentirían mi ficción …”

Al igual que los llamados expertos cambiaron el lenguaje en torno a la adicción a absolver a las personas de responsabilidad personal, ahora se está haciendo lo mismo en el ámbito transgénero. Así como ya no es políticamente correcto decir que un drogadicto toma una decisión tomando drogas (en su lugar tienen una enfermedad), ya no podemos llamar a los hombres que se visten como mujeres “travestis” porque implica que tienen una opción en cuanto a si se visten o no. Las nuevas demandas de vocabulario las referimos como transgénero en su lugar. Porque si alguien es “transgénero”, no es su culpa si usa vestimenta del otro sexo. Después de todo, nacieron dentro del cuerpo equivocado.
El campo de la medicina transgénero estará expuesto en las próximas décadas. Los mejores profesionales médicos creen que algún día miraremos hacia atrás y diremos: “¿Recuerdas que cuando en lugar de tratar la causa raíz de una enfermedad mental, alentamos a la persona a profundizar en su delirio?” Con el tiempo, echaremos un vistazo a los tratamientos hormonales y a la cirugía de reasignación de sexo de la misma manera que lo hacemos con las lobotomías de antaño.
Promoción de los estereotipos de género
Pero hasta ese día tenemos una ola de hombres que buscan convertirse en mujeres y viceversa a pesar de que no hay manera posible de que un hombre sepa lo que es ser una mujer. Esta es la razón por la que iconos feministas como Germaine Greer finalmente se pronuncian en contra de la ideología transgénero. El transgénero refuerza todo contra lo que han pasado toda su vida luchando. Promueve viejos estereotipos de género anticuados (ser mujer significa ponerse una falda y tacones). Un grupo de feministas radicales recientemente tuvo sus cuentas de Twitter suspendidas por promover la “transfobia” porque estaban tuiteando cosas como “Un hombre no puede ser una mujer”. Este tipo de charla se considera ahora un discurso de odio en nuestro país.
Veremos cada vez más de esta censura en los próximos años (por ejemplo, la jugadora de fútbol Jaelene Hinkle, a quien no se le permitió jugar en el equipo estadounidense en la Copa del Mundo simplemente porque se negó a usar una camiseta de orgullo LGBTQ).
Nuestra sociedad no tiene un problema con un hombre cuyo temperamento es más “femenino”. Ser sensible, intuitivo, amistoso, cariñoso, artístico y gentil a pesar de que usted es biológicamente masculino se consideran buenas cualidades para la mayoría de las mujeres. A mí, me han acusado de tener muchas cualidades “masculinas” a lo largo de mi vida. Soy directa, no tengo miedo de la confrontación. Prefiero ver fútbol que asistir a una fiesta de bebé cualquier día. Me especialicé en justicia penal. Trabajé con pandillas en Chicago. Nada de mis intereses personales o experiencias de vida se considera clásicamente “femenino”. Pero el hecho de que una persona tenga cualidades observadas tradicionalmente en el género opuesto no significa que deban convertirse en ese género.
Ninguna mujer empoderada aceptaría la ideología transgénero de ninguna forma. Es un insulto a las mujeres de todo el mundo sugerir que debido a que alguien se pone una falda y cuñas, automáticamente lo convierte en una mujer. Las mujeres no somos nuestra ropa o zapatos. No somos nuestro cabello o maquillaje. Cualquier mujer de verdad lo sabe. La belleza externa no tiene nada que ver con ser mujer. Para mi hermano pensar que ponerse un vestido, peluca y maquillaje de alguna manera lo hace igual que yo es quizás el mayor insulto de todos los tiempos. Ha pasado 36 años de su vida como hombre. No sabe nada de lo que es ser una mujer americana en el siglo XXI. Y nunca lo hará.

Como mencioné antes, los terapeutas históricamente veían el travestismo como una compulsión para aliviar la ansiedad, que es bastante fácil de entender. La gente hace todo tipo de cosas para aliviar la ansiedad. Beben. Comen demasiado azúcar. Desperdician dinero en billetes de lotería. Fuman hierba. Se autolesionan. Pero cualquier persona sana sabe que nunca debemos tomar una compulsión que se utiliza para aliviar el dolor más profundo y empezar a celebrarlo como nuestra identidad.
Ahora las niñas de tan solo tres años a las que les gustan los deportes y los camiones están siendo contadas por médicos (y madres famosas como Charlize Theron) que son un niño atrapado en el cuerpo de una niña. Luego se ponen hormonas poderosas que terminan la reproducción para detener el inicio de la pubertad. Los adolescentes están teniendo cirugías que mutilan simplemente porque están en cosas que tradicionalmente están asociadas con el género opuesto. Sin embargo, la falta de conformidad con el género es lo que decenas de personas lucharon durante décadas. Las niñas deben ser capaces de hacer cualquier cosa que los niños puedan hacer hoy y en esta edad y viceversa. Pero ahora tenemos hombres transgéneros rompiendo récords en la categoría atlética de una chica tras otra.
¿Dónde está el pueblo de la fe?
¿Y dónde están los llamados “gente de fe” en esta locura? Corriendo asustados. No queremos que nos etiqueten como ignorantes. No queremos que nos llamen intolerantes. Sabemos que ser considerado transfóbico puede rápidamente caer en otros adjetivos como misógino o racista.
El mensaje de la comunidad cristiana con respecto a las cuestiones LGBTQ parece ser este: sólo tenemos que mostrar el amor de Cristo a todos aceptándolos exactamente como son. Y es verdad. Todo el mundo tiene algo con lo que están luchando, y nadie está exento. Pero nadie debe ser amado como es y luego dejado de esa manera. De ahí las últimas palabras de Cristo a la mujer en el pozo: “Vete y no peques más.”
Si el amor significa apoyar los esfuerzos de alguien sin importar lo que sea, ¿no deberíamos todos llevar a nuestros amigos alcohólicos al bar esta noche? El amor verdadero significa decir la verdad, incluso cuando no es culturalmente agradable.
Y aunque no debería tener que deletrear esto, lo haré. Simplemente no estar de acuerdo con alguien en un tema no significa que usted tiene miedo o no le gustan todas las personas que están en el otro lado del problema. Creo que el transgénero está mal. Eso no me hace transfóbico. Creo que las mayores víctimas de la ideología transgénero son las personas a las que se les ha dado la etiqueta transgénero ellos mismos.
Llamar a todos los que no apoyan los derechos LGBTQ transfóbicos u “homofóbicos” es increíblemente ignorante. Nunca debemos burlarnos o acosar en ninguna manera a las personas transgénero. Ya están lidiando lo suficiente como es; necesitan nuestra ayuda.
Mi hermano dirá que el género es sólo una pequeña parte de lo que es. Pero para él pensar que “seguirá siendo él mismo” incluso si es una mujer es una tontería. Ya no será un hombre llamado Josh. Será una falsa caricatura de una persona que está pidiendo que todos a su alrededor nieguen la realidad diciéndole que es algo que no es. Por supuesto que conservará su personalidad, sus mismos gustos y aversiones. Pero decir que el género de uno no importa en última instancia en el gran esquema de las cosas muestra lo profunda que es la confusión. No me habría casado con mi marido si no fuera hombre. Y como mujer casada, no saldría a almorzar sola con mis amigas si no fueran mujeres.
A pesar de lo que mi hermano y mi cuñada harían creer a todos, la verdad es esta: el género importa. Como dijo el Papa recientemente: “El género es sagrado”. Los principales obispos y cardenales han declarado inequívocamente que el movimiento transgénero es demoníaco.
Cualquier buen experto en marcas sabe que las organizaciones eligen sus logotipos con mucho pensamiento y cuidado. Así que sí, hay una razón por la que la Iglesia de Satanás eligió a Baphomet (la cabra mitad macho/mitad femenina) para ser su logotipo. La cabra nos recuerda que supuestamente somos los que tomamos la última decisión sobre nuestra vida aquí en la tierra. Somos los diseñadores de nuestro destino. Y aunque los deseos de Dios para nosotros (como el sexo biológico) son todos buenos, al final es el verdadero yo cuyos deseos debemos seguir. ¿Realmente Dios dijo, “Tienes que ser hombre”?
Es una historia tan antigua como el tiempo.

Spirit and Truth Church began as a dream amidst the stormy backdrop of January 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges that the world faced, we found ourselves thriving, anchored by the belief that God’s plans always prevail. As we say on our website, we are passionate about helping people “find freedom in the fullness” of both the Spirit and the Word. This foundational vision has carried us through times of uncertainty and propelled us forward.
Yet, for all our successes, we reached a point where we felt like we were on an island—thriving, yes, but lacking the covering, coaching, counsel, and care that every church needs to flourish long term. In 2022, at the first MOVEMENT conference, God spoke directly to my heart, telling me that Spirit and Truth Church was meant to be part of the Open Bible Church family. This call was a turning point for our ministry. In 2023, I was credentialed through Open Bible Churches, and in February of this year (2024), we became officially affiliated with Open Bible Churches’ Mountain Plains region. Since then, the blessings have been immense.
For all our successes, we reached a point where we felt like we were on an island.
Being part of Open Bible has been transformative for us. We have received so much investment, training, and support. Open Bible has helped us shore up essential aspects of our ministry: leadership, organization, staffing, budget, facilities, and more. Our growth has been remarkable—we’ve doubled in size, growing from 60 to 120 regular attendees in the past year. This growth, I believe, is a testament to both the godly covering of Open Bible and the Spirit-led outreaches we engage in. Our church has a culture of lifestyle evangelism and hospitality where all our members are witnesses and welcomers. In addition, we have forged strategic partnerships with other ministries.
One of the most exciting partnerships we have is with Every Heart Tours, a ministry led by fiery, Jesus-loving college students from Michigan. These students come to stay with us for a week at a time, engaging in outdoor worship outreaches and “prophetic treasure hunts.” If you’re unfamiliar with this term, a prophetic treasure hunt is an evangelistic practice where participants ask the Holy Spirit to reveal specific details about people they will meet, and then they go into the community to find these “treasures.” It’s a beautiful, Spirit-led adventure allowing us to partner with God and minister to people in our city in a unique way. We’ve seen so many lives touched and transformed through these treasure hunts.
What started as a small church plant in Northern Colorado has since grown into a vibrant community reflecting the heart of God for His people.
One of the most powerful testimonies from these outreaches happened this summer (2024). We had a team of prophetic ministers giving specific words to people as we worshipped in Fort Collins Old Town square. We preached the gospel boldly, and by the end of the night eleven people made the decision to be baptized! We walked down to the Poudre River and witnessed the supernatural power of God as they went under the water and came up renewed. It was a moment that felt like the early church, where “the Lord added to their number daily” (Acts 2:47 NIV).
Of course, ministry isn’t always easy. We’ve faced rejection and opposition. But we hold firm to the truth of Romans 1:16: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.” The harvest is plentiful, and we’ve seen this reality unfold before our eyes. As we continue to partner with ministries, step out in faith, and preach the gospel, we trust that God will continue to bring more people into His kingdom.
Our journey with Open Bible has been a testimony to God’s faithfulness. What started as a small church plant in Northern Colorado has since grown into a vibrant community reflecting the heart of God for His people. We remain committed to spreading the good news and making sure outreach and evangelism are at the heart of our ministry. The harvest is ready, Open Bible fam – let’s go bring it in!

As we approach another election season, we find ourselves once again in an environment bringing tension, division, and uncertainty to people, including those within the Church. It is during times like this, however, that we as the Church can shine brightly. In the face of debates, advertisements, and news that may stir anxiety, we have a divine opportunity to anchor people to the unchanging hope of Christ.
The apostle Paul instructs us that “our citizenship is in heaven” (Phil. 3:20 NIV), and as followers of Christ, our ultimate allegiance is to God and His kingdom. While politics does have its importance and influence, it is reassuring to know our hope is not based upon human leaders or systems but in the Lord who reigns over all.
In the face of debates, advertisements, and news that may stir anxiety, we have a divine opportunity to anchor people to the unchanging hope of Christ.
There is no question that, as followers of Christ, we should engage in our civic duties with a kingdom-minded perspective and a biblical worldview. We vote, we pray for our leaders, we seek the welfare of our communities (Jer. 29:7), and we engage others with love. And as we do all of this, we hold to the truth that God’s sovereignty transcends the outcomes of elections.
In times that seem unstable or fragile, God’s Word tells us “we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken” (Heb.12:28). We serve an “unshakable kingdom.” Governments change, leaders come and go, and through it all, God’s kingdom remains. It is unshakable, eternal, and built upon His righteousness and justice. No election can alter the reality of God’s sovereignty nor shake the foundation of His authority. It is His church that holds the keys to unlock heaven on earth and bring light to the darkness.
Here is the reality we stand upon: It is God who “controls the course of world events; He removes kings and sets up other kings” (Dan. 2:21 NLT), and “the king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord” (Prov. 21:1 KJV).
Because of this truth, we can embrace Paul’s word to the Philippians: “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:6-7 NLT). Based on this passage, if we are a people of prayer who walk in faith, seek God’s wisdom, and are grateful, THEN we know we will experience a peace that goes beyond natural understanding. I am reminded, comforted, and convinced of this truth, and it is an anchor to my soul.
No election can alter the reality of God’s sovereignty nor shake the foundation of His authority.
This November’s election will be followed in December by the celebration of Christ’s birth. What a perfect time to remember that Jesus is Emmanuel – God with us. This name, given to Jesus, is more than just a title; it is a promise that no matter what happens around us, God’s presence is constant and unchanging.
Whether the outcome of the election brings joy or disappointment, whether policies align with your hopes or create concerns, remember Emmanuel – God is with us. He is present in our churches, in our communities, in our families, and in our lives. He is not distant or disconnected; He is personally and actively involved in the lives of His people. Whoever is elected and however people respond – God still sits on the throne, His Kingdom is unshakable, and His plans are unstoppable. GOD IS WITH US.
Some practical steps for consideration:
- Pray for our leaders, regardless of who they are: Pray for their wisdom, discernment, and a spirit of humility.
- Stay united as the body of Christ: Let a heart of unity, love, and the bond of peace be what others see.
- Keep an eternal perspective: Engage in the political process, but keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.
- Live out the things that will remain: faith, hope and love.

Church planting isn’t for the faint of heart. All church plants require faith, but it takes a special kind of crazy to “parachute plant,” where church planters “parachute” into a new place, starting from nothing with few resources or contacts. After seven years of pouring our hearts and souls into CityLife Church, a parachute church plant in Wilmington, North Carolina, my husband Mike and I were pretty certain God was calling us to do something different. We genuinely believed God was calling us into missions. In hindsight, I guess He was – just not in the way we pictured it.
This time, our “yes” led us into what was at that time the murder capital of America.
Neither one of us had a desire to plant another church, but the thought of doing something new was exciting to us. So, towards the end of our tenure at CityLife, we let the stirring of something new brew within us even though we had no idea what was coming.
During this season, a couple of things happened that God used to speak to our hearts. The Vanartsdalens, close friends of ours at CityLife, came to us with the news that they were moving to help plant another church within Open Bible (read more about their story HERE). As we celebrated what God was doing with our friends, it reignited a feeling within us that we had forgotten. (Never underestimate how your “yes” might affect someone else’s!) That feeling was the excitement and spiritual rush that comes with church planting. Neither Mike nor I expected to feel this again, and we were surprised to find the desire in our hearts to plant another church.
Everything changed after a conversation with our Open Bible Regional Director, Nathan Hagan. When we shared our initial desire with him, he began to brainstorm some different options for us to consider. One idea jumped out to both of us: “If you guys were interested in planting another church in the region, maybe it could be someplace like New Orleans.” Nathan mentioned other places, but the only one we remembered is the one that stuck to our hearts like glue. New Orleans: the word was spoken, and the Spirit responded!
Mike and I decided early on in our marriage that whatever God called us to do, we would say yes. This time, our “yes” led us into what was at that time the murder capital of America: New Orleans, Louisiana. It is extremely hard to uproot your family and your life and move hundreds of miles away to a place where there are no family, friends, or security. Despite these challenges, we sold many of our possessions, took what we could in a truck and trailer, and headed off into the unknown!
As soon as we put boots on the ground, we quickly realized that this city, this plant, and this call would be different from anything we had ever done. Almost immediately after moving, we were met with a triple homicide four houses down from ours, I was violently robbed at gunpoint, and our kids had a gun pulled on them while playing outside in our neighborhood. We faced circumstances that most people assumed we would run from, but when you know the Lord has called you to a land, you must trust that He will protect and prosper you in that land. Suffering is part of the calling; if we aren’t willing to suffer for the calling, we won’t partake of its full blessing. “But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed” (1 Peter 4:13).
To rewind just a bit, when we knew for sure that we were moving, Mike sat our kids down and had them help compile a dream/prayer list of people we’d love to have on our team. Some on the list were Spirit-led, some were hopefuls, but all of them were people we thought might be crazy enough to consider moving with us!
Back before we’d moved to North Carolina for our first church plant, we had told our friends Greg and Tina that we felt they were supposed to come with us. I think Greg laughed at Mike when we first shared this, but they are now the pastors at CityLife! In similar fashion, we had another friend couple in Ohio that we video chatted with as we prepared to plant in New Orleans. We shared the news of where we were moving then asked them to pray about joining us. They agreed to pray, but I’m certain they thought we were crazy!
We faced circumstances that most people assumed we would run from, but when you know the Lord has called you to a land, you must trust that He will protect and prosper you in that land.
It’s amazing to see how God works in lives, stirring people’s hearts to be part of things that take an incredible amount of faith. Here we are two years later, and Pastor Eric and Lindsay Baker are in New Orleans with us putting their hands to the plow! They moved from a one-light farm town to one of the wildest cities in the world. They and their seven kids gave their “yes” to the Lord, leaving everything they had ever known. They have had their car stolen twice, and yet here they remain. In addition to the Bakers, God sent us another person from our dream list without us even having to ask; Mike’s mom, Lynne, joined the team and lives right next door to us now!
Fast forward to present day: we are so excited to see what God is doing at OHR City Church! “Ohr” is the Hebrew word for “light,” and it also means “to bring order amid chaos” (so fitting for this city!). Almost nothing has gone how we thought it would here, yet we believe everything is going exactly how God designed it.
We are currently meeting every Sunday night in our house where we eat, worship, dream, pray, and study the word of God together. While the adults meet in our house, the kids go to Momma Lynne’s house next door! Our team is growing, and we are all becoming a family. None of us knows exactly where the Lord is taking us yet, but everyone is on board to find out!
If you feel God calling you to something, I encourage you to step out in faith and give God your “yes”!
