Here is another sort. Take the Christian worldview. With David we… Deal with the transgender element of the present with the focus main focus of the film was explain the transgender desire that someone has her there's a rate gender just for your gender confusion when you relook at the testimonies in the film and the people are very honest and sincere that they just did not feel like they were the sex they were born with. There's obviously there's many things that go into how someone feels about themselves and this is this is been the question of psychiatry and psychology since the invention of those fields is trying to understand how to human beings think and reason and understand themselves and of course secular psychology has all kinds of answers that it puts forward and wants to put out some kind of basically some kind of innate idea because obviously these things are also these things are never disconnected from political ideas. So if you can call it innate and you can call it biological. You can create a civil rights category that can be adhered to and reflected in wall, but in terms of a person's individual experiences will quite commonly especially within the transgender conversation. There is some element of abuse that often happens in the background of sexual abuse, physical abuse, things that were harmful to a person at a young age that were very that were there were quite shaping to the person's way of understanding themselves and thinking about themselves and relating to other people and sometimes a state may not be abuse so much in the background but it is this way of feeling like I don't belong. I feel different than other people and then someone starts to internalize that in this idea. Like you mentioned the word transgender is him earlier. If you throw out that word and someone is already questioning why I feel a little different suddenly that word is something that they can grab hold of and say will maybe this explains what's going on inside of me.

So of course it's very difficult to actually get inside someone's head and understand exactly what they're what they're feeling and what they're thinking about and how their understanding themselves because of course, as the Scripture says, the heart is deceitful and wicked and it leads us astray it is.

It isn't a good God toward truth and toward clarity. But you know so there's so many things that are happening inside someone's head in and I think it's important for Christians to realize that were not describing things that are truly are biologically there. I mean even the research on this, that is tried to prove that even you know transgender is and could have something to do within the gestational period that there's something something different in the brain or something they've never been able to prove this conclusively and there's no evidence that that transgender brain, so to speak is any different from from a regular someone who is who clearly identifies and is happy within the sex they were born with, there's no evidence of this anywhere within the scientific field and name it and try as they might, many secular scientists are trying to find these kinds of things because they want to they want to justify it, and they want to find an explanation and honestly nature just hasn't given it to us so we have to go back into the psychology we have to go back into people's minds. And how did they do they understand themselves and honestly about. Think back over my life the way that I even interpret my own thoughts. Over time that changes as I grow as immature as I experience other things and so those things can reinforce ideas that I had in my head or work against ideas that I had in my head and so there's so many ways. We need to get out of just thinking about ourselves and in so much internalizing through this this whole psychological movement in this whole idea of who have to somehow empathize with this with this mindset. Of course, the Bible talks of sympathy in the way that people use that term to be clear to point people back toward truth in themselves. This is been a short take Christian want to be with David.
