Gender-Affirming Surgery

  Good Morning Folks ! I read in the news this morning; Ohio Governor Mike DeWine vetoed HB68 bill. So I thought I would blog more about this story. ( The News article )

The bill would have banned doctors from providing gender-affirming surgery to transgender minors and prevented transgender female athletes from playing in girls' and women's sports. I personally cannot believe that the majority of the Ohioans support Gender Affirming Surgery. 20 states have banned Gender affirming surgery, which is still the minority out of the 50 States. They are all under attack by all the activists and the federal government. Me not knowing a lot about this movement, I decided to dig a little deeper. To my amaze President Joe Biden Appointed Dr Rachel L. Levine (God given name Richard L. Levine) as the Assistant Secretary for Health. Dr Rachel Levine is an American pediatrician & politician. She is the highest-ranking openly transgender government official in U.S. history. It’s my opinion she is the head of and spearhead for the Gender Affirming Surgery / movement in our country.  Did you know you can literally go the US Social security office and tell them you have changed your gender and have it changed on your social security card without proof for change even. You can even join the military or just get incarcerated in jail and they would probably pay for your Gender-affirming Surgery.(Watch Video Here)

What is Gender affirming surgery; Gender-affirming surgery is a surgical procedure, or series of procedures, that alters a person's physical appearance and sexual characteristics to resemble those associated with their identified gender. Here is a few of the surgery types, I will not go into detail, and you can research them on your own. To me it’s just horrifying act, such as Genital surgery, Vaginoplasty, Penile inversion, Bowel vaginoplasty, Vulvoplasty and Orchiectomy (Watch Video Here)

Let's look at a biblical prospective of this issue; Lets investigate the bible about Men becoming women and women becoming men. `There is some passages addressing the issues of gender identity and expression, such as Deuteronomy 22:5, which prohibits cross-dressing, or Galatians 3:28, which affirms the equality of all people in Christ regardless of their gender. The bible really doesn’t explicitly mention gender transition or reassignment. However, if you dig a little deeper, there was scholars of the Torah that told of Demons that had the power to transform the gender of humans.  According to some legends, Lilith was transformed into one such Demon. She was the first wife of Adam. She refused to submit to Adam and left the Garden of Eden. She then became a mother of demons and had the power to transform the gender of humans. Some sources also suggest that Lilith was responsible for the death of Abel, the son of Adam and Eve, by changing him into a woman and making Cain jealous. Some feminist interpretations view her as a symbol of female empowerment and resistance to patriarchy. I really could keep going on that subject matter, however it would be better at another time.

Lilith is mentioned only once in the Bible, in Isaiah 34:14, where she is translated as "the night creature" or "the night hag" in some versions. The context is a prophecy of God's judgment on Edom, where various wild animals and mythical creatures will inhabit the desolate land. The Hebrew word for Lilith is related to the word for night. Some scholars suggest that Lilith may have originated from Babylonian or Sumerian myths, where she was associated with storms, darkness, and evil spirits.

I can only say a few words about Lilith, really the first woman was possibly transformed into a Demon! 


In summary really who was Lilith: Lilith is a female figure in Mesopotamian and Jewish mythology, theorized to be the first wife of Adam and supposedly the primordial she-demon. According to many rabbinic texts, Lilith is known to be the first woman to ever be created. However, the Bible states that the first woman was Eve and she was created on the same day as Adam. Lilith is never mentioned in Genesis 1-24. Ancient testimony says Lilith was a Mesopotamian night-demon. ( Watch Video Here )

The Affordable Care Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in health programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance or are administered by a federal agency2. This includes discrimination based on gender identity or transgender status

The Social Security Administration allows people to change their gender marker on their Social Security records without requiring proof of surgery since June 2013.

Several federal courts have ruled that denying gender affirming surgery to transgender inmates violates the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment .
