        <description><![CDATA[<p>This situation goes to the Supreme Court for rights like all other Americans. The truth be told, is Trans-gender a legitimate gender; therefore, a third gender or Perversion? Has it "existed since the beginning of time", as I have heard recently.</p><p>Some questions confronts the the Church and clergymen:</p><ol><li>How does one define "transgender"?</li><li>Is transgender natural or a choice?</li><li>Can one be "transgender" and yet, Christian?</li><li>What <strong>does the Bible say about trans-gender</strong>?</li><li>Can they be baptized into the Christian Church?</li><li>If a person is a member of the church, then becomes transgender, should this individual be dismissed from the fellowship?</li><li>Are there transgender clergymen? If so, how many? Is there a <strong>rationale or justification for them to be</strong>?</li><li>Are "transgenders" entitled to workplace protections and medical coverages?</li><li>Should "transgender" people be identified by the gender of their birth or what they declared themselves to be?</li><li>To be clear, is transgender a perversion to humanity and therefore, the courts, the church, and society shouldn't be bother or invest any time or energies upon the matter?</li><li>Is transgender worthy of the Christian's time to debate or it should be dismissed as an unexplainable sin?</li></ol><p>These and other questions (though some overlapping) begs to be <strong>answered by society </strong>and <strong>the church</strong>.
