Careful Consideration with Dustin Burdin

In this episode, I will explore another flaw with Transgender theory. This flaw is detrimental, and I believe it undermines the entirety of modern gender identity theory and transgenderism.I will argue that transgender theory’s assumption that biological sex is independent of gender identity is illogical, unscientific, and unbiblical. The conclusion is that the entirety of modern gender theory, which attempts to validate transgenderism, is based on a false idea about sex and gender. This is a public episode.

In this episode we explore what the Bible teaches about the creation of gender as male and female. We use this to begin making a case from Scripture that since God created the concept of gender, He gets to define gender and gender expression. Christians must equip themselves with this knowledge to be a moral witness for God’s truth about gender in our transgender affirming cultures.This episode is also in an article format if you wish to read it.
