Creation Moment 6/14/2023 - If one’s interpretation of Genesis leads to the idea that males can get pregnant, something has gone very wrong in Biblical hermeneutics.

"One of the clearest teachings in the Bible that needs no drawn-out analysis is the creation of Adam and Eve. The Bible says, “The Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7). God then “called his name Adam” (Genesis 5:2). Further, “God said, ‘It isn’t good for the man to live alone. I will make a suitable partner for him’” (Genesis 2:18). That helper was Eve.
 
It appears that the modern transgender movement is repeating some
of the same mistakes as occurred with the eugenics movement. If we evolved from a population of 100,000 that lived 350,000 years ago, a wide variety of people would have resulted, due to mutations, including some “females” with the body of a male and some “males” with the body of a female. Thus evolution could rationalize these and many other variations of humans. In short, evolutionists argue that
evolutionary thinking can help illuminate our understanding of gender diversity and transgender experience. ‘Gender diversity’ here is used to mean a gender identification outside the conventional binary gender categories of ‘male’ or ‘female’, where both terms have typically been presumed to apply exclusively and unfalteringly from conception to death.
A new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (May 2023), after noting that “Transgender, non-binary, and gender diverse (trans) people have worse health outcomes than cisgender
individuals
,” examined why this was so. 
Compared with cisgender people, trans people were younger (cisgender mean age, 26.65 [SD, 5.44] vs. 23.48 [SD, 5.50] years), less likely to be White (cisgender at 49.8% vs. 33.6%), and more likely to have a chronic health condition (cisgender at 14.9% vs. 22.7%) all significant at P < 0.001. Compared with cisgender people, trans people in the commercial data set had higher rates of certain chronic conditions, including anxiety and depression (3.4% vs. 5.5%; P < 0.001).
 
The trend of the existing studies so far support the conclusion that the transgender movement will, as a whole, cause much harm to both society and its victims as also did the eugenics movement. 
Both movements have rejected the teachings of Genesis and replaced them with Darwinism based on an erroneous worldview." CEH
