Sorry, but...
Deuteronomy 22:5 NASB
"A woman shall not wear man's clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman's clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God. | via startthis.org/?p=1315
Of course, Christians are not under the law, and they certainly cannot pick and choose which moral rules they wish to respect based on political convenience. | via startthis.org/?p=1321
Here is another relevant verse to trans issues from Jewish law:
Deuteronomy 23:1 NASB
"No one who is emasculated or has his male organ cut off shall enter the assembly of the LORD.

The Atlantic bemoans an " 'infodemic'—involving the viral spread of misinformation, as well as the mingling of facts with half-truths and falsehoods in a fractured media environment—has compounded the COVID-19 pandemic."
A "counterterrrorism" org formed by Big Tech is expanding a database of "extremist content" they share, "aiming to crack down on...white supremacists and far-right militias".
My views haven't changed; but the Overton Window is sliding left all the time.
We need to know their real, operational definition of "extremist," etc. Is Covid skepticism extremism? Supporting Trump? Skepticism about the 2020 elections?
Much of the "woke" and "cancel" culture of the last seven years or so (it really started ramping up around 2014) is basically softening up the culture for an all-out attack on the #Bible and Christians. Just wait. It won't be pretty. | via startthis.org/?p=1265
Women preachers? Well, let's just say that the people who endorse the practice are the same sort of people who are comfy with creative interpretations of large parts of the Bible.
Whatever you're tweeting about is not as important as the fact that the Biden administration announced last wk that it coordinates with Facebook to censor online content. Thread:
Because it's real, live government censorship. They can say, "Well, we're just having our experts flag misinformation," but, and this is the important point:
That is the government participating in censorship.
It's illegal. Seriously.
How did we get here? A combination of things.
(a) There has been a steady drumbeat from governments and NGOs (to say nothing of other influential institutions) globally about "misinformation" and "fake news." So it is an Establishment talking point.
I retweeted the thread. I also explained why I refuse to do more. I cannot chase down every supposed miscarriage of justice Wikipedia is involved in.
I permanently cut ties with Wikipedia in early 2003. I can't control Wikipedia; they hate me there. It is unreasonable to expect me to use my voice in every case where Wikipedia does something seriously wrong.
