Transsexuality Ethics

When discussing the topic of transsexuality a lot of confusion is in the air. For starters, the definition is; a person who emotionally and psychologically feels they belong to the opposite sex. Notice how it says physically, meaning under the knife. While this may cause debate, it’s stated that it simply is a person who has undergone treatment in order to acquire the physical characteristics of the opposite sex. When defining ethics it simply is the moral philosophy that involves defending and recommending the concepts of right and wrong conduct. In practice, ethics seeks to resolve questions of human morality, by defining concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, justice and crime. When on the topic of transsexuality the term ethics

would be most steered towards religion.
The Bible views damage to the body as bad and mutilation as an insult of great magnitude.

In a verse, Paul teaches that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and should be protected.” 1 Corinthians. 6: 12-20. An excerpt from a Christian website reads this, “Neither biblical exegesis nor research science gives credibility to the transsexual's insistence that he or she is the opposite sex caught in an opposite sex body. The transsexual thoughts, desires, feelings amount to nothing more than an elaborate, expensive, moral-mental delusion. That a lie can be so addictive should not surprise the Christian ethicist. Romans 1 and 6:12-18 clearly teach the addictive nature and power of sin. Eph. 4:17-19, 22 teach that the deceitful desires which lead to a greedy lust for more impurity have a progressive quality. Not to call this sin "sin", especially when it is within yourself, is to be caught in the web of self-deception. Medical science has helped raise this delusion to new heights. Now surgery renders a body outwardly closer to this moral-mental delusion. Yet, the genetic witness remains! If transvestism is abhorrent to God, then a radical surgical "dressing up" is far worse. If the lesser sin of transvestism is an abomination, then transsexual operations must be super abomination.” While people have their own opinions it’s led to this, its gods body not ours. Which would cause a debate because someone would undergo surgery because they want to be perceived and loved by the

opposite sex.
Whether sin or not, artificial it is. A copy of something natural, not natural itself. I don’t want to pick sides or to judge another person that unnatural changes to the human body can’t be good for us in the long run. The more we want to control, and the more we try to control we end up biting off more than we can chew. I am unsure that there will ever be a limit to the extent to which we alter and modify that which we deem ‘desirable’.
Transsexuality can even be seen today in pop culture. Take for instance the ongoing dispute from the transformation of former track legend Bruce Jenner, to the feminine Caitlyn Jenner. Also with lately in the news of now restroom for both male and female or those who cannot decide.
In conclusion, there are some things in this world that shouldn’t to modified, and the human body, I believe is one of them. At what point do we say enough is enough?
