First of all nobody knows how God feels about a specific subject. In my experience people generally use God rather than logic to justify their position.
Secondly if being transgender is a mental disorder why is it so vilified. There is a history of blind people being institutionalized in asylums. During the eugenics movement in america laws were enacted that legalized forced sterilizations and prohibited individuals that had mental or physical defects and couples of mixed-race from marrying. These are things we don’t do anymore and would horrify people if we tried to do them again. Sooner than you think the same will be said about the transgendered.

Did you ever hear about the Goslings that are raised by hand will imprint on the human who raises them. Birds that have imprinted on humans will identify with humans for life.

...Turns my stomach. I'm actually holding my tongue.
The faux outrage over a date that has been on the books for a while now . This year it happens to fall on Easter...

Perchance you would consider that Easter is:
Celebrated (on the calendar) for more than 2,000 years
Celebrated by many (millions times) more people than TransDay
Is the single most Holy Day for many, many millions of folk world wide
Let's define a couple terms. Hat tip to American Heritage® Dictionary
obtuse (adjective)
Lacking quickness of perception or intellect.
Characterized by a lack of intelligence or sensitivity.
Not distinctly felt.
asinine (adjective)
Utterly stupid or silly.
Of, relating to, or resembling an ass.
Of or belonging to, or having the qualities of, the ass, as stupidity and obstinacy.
The obtuse asininity of such displacement is easily seen with a simple example. Imagine if you will: On the first day of Eid al-Adha, the White House puts on a play of dancers and characters wearing Mohamed masks, dancing and signing the below, but substituting the word Muslim in place of Lumberjack
On the second day of Eid al-Adha, you put on readings of jokes comparing Mohammad to "poofters" or making tasteless jokes like:
A traveling salesman stops at a ramshackle rundown farmhouse. He knocks on the door and an ugly, ugly little Muslim boy answers the door. The salesman is taken aback and asks, "Uh, is your mother or father at home?"
The little Muslim boy casually answers, "I ain't got no daddy, and Mama's out back havin' sex with a goat."
The salesman exclaims, "Doesn't that bother you?!?
The little Muslim boy bleats, "Nah-a-a-a-a-a-a-a"

In the writing, Shaytaan, or Satan attempts to confuse Ibrahim and tempt him to not go through with the act, but Ibrahim drives him away" (hat tip to History dot com) Thank you.
You take a bow and seriously wonder why 500Million Muslims around the globe want to murder you in a most heinous way. The thought that millions of Christians would rally to support the Muslims would be beyond your comprehension. Great job Einstein!
...So which of those three options applies to you?...

A doubleentendre [note 1] (plural doubleentendres) is a figure of speech or a particular way of wording that is devised to have a double meaning, one of which is typically obvious, and the other often conveys a message that would be too socially unacceptable, or offensive to state directly.
For example: If you were a turkey and I called you a cock gobbler - it would be the same as me calling you a cannibal and you still wouldn't even know it. Notwithstanding, there were the words that preceded the picture and I would have no clue whom the other poster was hating on as they had not stated so.
