An Argument for Traditional, Biblical Gender Categories and Against Transgender Ideology: Twenty Points

Douglas Groothuis, Ph.D., Professor of Philosophy Denver Seminary

Consult God’s instruction and the testimony of warning. If anyone does not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn.  (Isaiah 8:20)

The following is a step-by-step, logical argument for deriving a moral position on transgender ideology from the Bible, science, facts, and sound reasoning.  If its conclusions are to be challenged, its premises must be denied, or the reasoning refuted. This argument does not address detailed public policy implications (except one) or how transgenderism should be addressed in church discipline or polity, but gives a foundation for further reflection. We should address first things first.
