Why should someone just playing the devils advocate here come in to work one day through their boss and say you know I don't identify as them.

As the male sex. I was born with. I now identify as a female and that employer decides the fire them for that purpose. Do you think that an employer should have the right to do that if their performance hasn't changed.

They simply perceive themselves differently. The nonrelated answer is really related to the religious answer to those who read the Bible see that God created them male and female in his image and likeness and the Bible doesn't say that sex can change so as Christians we believe you follow God's plan is put forth in the Bible because when you don't, that things will happen is called sin. When we engage in sin, then we don't become the best possible version of ourselves. We become some corrupted version that never achieves the heights that God wants for us because his love is always to want what's best for us that the definition of love itself. It shouldn't surprise anyone that when someone doesn't identify as their own sex and their affirming that behavior that there are bad consequences that happen from you often hear that someone who's not suffering from gender dysphoria and that's when you're your mind is aligned with your body with respect to your sex that they have depression and mental health issues and high suicide rate all of that's true, but the best long-term peer-reviewed studies that we have been in the scientific and medical communities show that if you affirm that person and actually go through and they have a sex change operation to align their body with what's in their head there suicide rate actually goes up, and there are no long-term mental health benefits from. So by my following society rather than following the blueprint actually in a been a much worse position and back signs also shows that if you don't affirm the child who's having this dysphoria. Having the struggle and eating a 95% of the cases will naturally resolve things that their mind aligns with their thereby anyone ever have these issues again. But if you affirm the child 100% of the time they will be dealing with that dysphoria. The rest of their life in one form or another.

So if you want what is best for the human person, whether you're Christian or not Christian, it would not be to affirm the person who doesn't want to align body, mind if you think about mental health. Generally, there are other diseases, mental health issues that look very similar to this common sense tells you that we don't treat anybody else. That way if you have anorexia you look at your body and you think that it's too fat, even though that's not the truth. No one would ever tell their daughter, their sister or their friend, but anorexia you should eat less than align your body with your mind or you. There's another mental health issue were people feel like a limb on their body doesn't belong there and you will do almost anything to try to remove that limb. No Dr. no loving family member would ever had in the side say I take off your arm, they would say no.

We need to deal with the underlying issues to align your mind with your body, not the other way around.

Why is it that gender ideology is the only area mental health we get it exactly backward. So I did all these instances, it's entirely within the purview of an employer to say I think this is harmful to the individual. I think is harmful to others in the culture and I'm happy to do it for that basis, and all of that would be consistent with wanting what's good for the other whether you're Christian or not. Now we know all this to be true because of our Christian beliefs because of what the Bible tells us, but as is always the case, science in real life experience aligns with those beliefs
