New transgender study shows painful, long-lasting side effects of sex-change surgeries
July 28, 2023
A new study on the side effects of transgender sex change surgeries has revealed, once again, that we are currently in the midst of the greatest medical scandal of the past several centuries. Conducted by researchers at the University of Florida and the health non-profit Brooks Rehabilitation, the study found that 81% of those who had undergone sex change surgeries in the past five years reported experiencing pain simply from normal movement in the weeks and months that followed — and that many other side effects are manifesting themselves as well.
This comes as no surprise to those of us who have been listening to the testimony of both de-transitioners such as Chloe Cole as well as others who have gone under the knife such as Scott Newgent (who described horrifying post-op experiences on my podcast recently). Dr. Meryl Alappattu, a physiotherapy professor at the University of Florida, spoke about her provisional findings in a private online workshop reported on by the Daily Mail. The full report will be released later in 2023, and the reported findings are horrifying. The study found that those who got sex change surgeries experienced bladder problems, pain during intercourse, and other significant issues. …
That those who go on cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers at a young age are likely to be incapable of experiencing “any sort of sexual pleasure as an adult,” as well as eliminating natural fertility. https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/new-transgender-study-shows-painful-long-lasting-side-effects-of-sex-change-surgeries/?utm_source=top_news&utm_campaign=usa
Let me add that I read reports of males who had their genitals removed and replaced with constructed vaginas and were surprised and disappointed that their libido was basically gone. Well, history has shown that castration does that, so that is something all should have known for a very long time.
That said, the USA and Russia have taken basically opposite positions on this.
The Russians have basically made such surgeries illegal. Earlier this week, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin signed a law preventing people from trying to pretend they can change their gender via elective surgeries:
Vladimir Putin signs law banning gender changes in Russia
Vladimir Putin has signed legislation that bans people from officially or medically changing their gender, representing a further blow to Russia’s embattled LGBTQ+ community.
The act, passed unanimously by both houses of parliament, bans any “medical interventions aimed at changing the sex of a person”, as well as banning changing a person’s gender in official documents or public records. The only exception will be medical intervention to treat congenital anomalies.
It also annuls marriages in which one person has “changed gender” and bars transgender people from becoming foster or adoptive parents.
The ban is said to stem from the Kremlin’s crusade to protect what it views as the country’s “traditional values”. Lawmakers say the legislation is to safeguard Russia against “western anti-family ideology”, with some describing gender transitioning as “pure satanism”. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/24/vladimir-putin-signs-law-banning-gender-changes-in-russia
Yes, many aspect of the LGBTQ+ agenda are cruel and satanic.
What about the USA?
US President Joe Biden has denounced parents who believe that the children are the sex they actually are:
Joe Biden: ‘Ugly’ People Shield Their Kids from Transgenderism
June 10, 2023
President Joe Biden is using the bully pulpit to stigmatize parents who oppose transgenderism for their kids … using his platform to criticize adults who are protecting children from so-called “gender-affirming” treatments. Individuals who are worried about the far-left’s attempts to “affirm” a confused child’s gender via hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and genital surgery are, according to Biden, “hysterical.”
“We have some hysterical, and I would argue prejudiced, people who are engaged in what you see going on around the country,” he said.
“It’s an appeal to fear, and it’s an appeal that is unjustified and ugly. It’s wrong,” Biden continued. https://www.infowars.com/posts/joe-biden-ugly-people-shield-their-kids-from-transgenderism/
Destruction of aspects of children’s bodies should not be allowed or encouraged. That is truly ugly.
The Bible warns:
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
And prudent in their own sight! (Isaiah 5:20-21)
Intentional mutilation is evil–it is not good. But “those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight,” who refuse to believe the Bible on this, have come to the wrong conclusions.
As far as “gender affirming” goes, the scientific reality is that humans are born with xx or xy chromosomes. Females are xx, males xy. To affirm one’s gender would be to continue to function as female–if you have xx, and male–if you have xy. That is the “gender affirming” treatment.
Furthermore, notice something that Jesus said:
4 … Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ (Matthew 19:4)
Instead, Joe Biden and many others advise destruction of genitals, the changing of secondary sexual characteristics, and large amounts of pharmaceutical hormones.
That is terrible and should not be approved (cf. Romans 1:32).
The State of California, sadly, does not agree. Notice a proposed law:
State bill would charge any parent who doesn’t affirm transgenderism with ‘child abuse’
Also puts ‘schools, churches, hospitals’ at risk of criminal counts
June 9, 2023
A recently amended California bill would add “affirming” the sexual transition of a child to the state’s standard for parental responsibility and child welfare—making any parent who doesn’t affirm transgenderism for their child guilty of abuse under California state law.
AB-957 passed California’s State Assembly on May 3, but a cosponsor amended it after hours in California’s State Senate on June 6. …
AB-957 post-amendment “would include a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity as part of the health, safety, and welfare of the child,” altering the definition and application of the entire California Family Code.
California courts would be given complete authority under Section 3011 of California’s Family Code to remove a child from his or her parents’ home if parents disapprove of LGBTQ+ ideology.
By changing the definition of what constitutes the “health, safety, and welfare of [a] child,” schools, churches, hospitals, and other organizations interacting with children would be required to affirm “gender transitions” in minors by default—or risk charges of child abuse.
AB-957 could also expand which organizations provide “evidence” of gender “nonaffirmation” to California’s courts.
Because of the addition of “gender affirmation” to the qualifications of California’s standards for “health, safety, and welfare,” California’s courts would now be able to accept reports of gender “abuse” from progressive activist organizations—as long as they claim to provide “services to victims of sexual assault or domestic violence.” …
Parental rights advocates and experts lambasted Weiner’s amendment that would upend the California Family Code. https://www.wnd.com/2023/06/state-bill-charge-parent-doesnt-affirm-transgenderism-child-abuse/
Scripture teaches:
5 A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God. (Deuteronomy 22:5)
It is clear that the Bible condemns cross-dressing. Parents should be commended for condemning transgenderism as an abomination–not be subject to losing their children if they stand for biblically-sound morality.
Do not believe that the USA has the moral high-ground on this and many other issues it is pushing on the world at this time.
Furthermore, consider that the Bible also condemns males acting effeminate:
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, KJV)
Transgenderism is not something that children or adults should approve.
Plus, it is not good for those who wish to consider themselves transgendered.
Yet, the President of the USA is promoting it–see also VOA: Biden to Mark Transgender Day of Visibility With New Actions.
Back in 2015, the Continuing Church of God put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
17:20
What is ‘transgender’? Is it being promoted by government leaders in the USA? Can you lose your job if you refuse to refer to a girl as a boy or federal funding if you do not treat a boy as if he is actually a girl? Have Jewish and Protestant leaders endorsed it? Is it false witness for pastors to teach against it? What does any of this have to do with the Kingdom of God? What does the Bible teach about cross-dressing or being effeminate? What should parents do? Is the transgender agenda dangerous?
Here is a link to our video: Transgender ‘Woe to those who call evil good’.
Related to children, the Continuing Church of God put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
Parents want their children to grow up to lead happy, healthy, and productive lives. Former US Congressman Ron Paul wrote that government schools have no business instructing young children in sexuality. The American Thinker asserted that schools are improperly trying to indoctrinate children in a way of ‘normalizing perversion.’ What does the Bible teach about instructing children? What does the Bible teach about having a perverse mouth or engaging in perversity? Does the Bible tie perversity in with abominations? What about things like cross dressing? What are the results of teaching or engaging in perversity? What about those that only approve them? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.
Here is a link to our video: Do not indoctrinate children in perversion.
Notice the following warning applicable to our time:
13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:13)
Those pushing transgenderism are evil and deceived.
Another scientific reality is:
People who identify as transgender have higher rates of mental health complications than those in the general population … https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/transgender-mental-health#statistics accessed 06/10/23
Notice also the following:
June 2, 2023
The head of a facility that carries out so-called “gender-affirming care” has published a study confirming that transgender surgeries do not improve mental health and make people feel lonelier than those who avoided surgical intervention altogether.
“In our study, the level of life satisfaction in transgender people was not increased in transgender people who had undergone gender-affirming surgery as compared to those who were unoperated,” says a study published Tuesday in BMC Public Health, a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
“[O]ur data indicate that transgender and gender-diverse people, who have undergone gender reassignment surgery feel lonelier” than transgender-identified people who have not elected to have surgery, finds a separate study by the same four researchers, originally published online May 11 in the journal Healthcare (Basel).
The researchers also reveal that people who identify as members of the opposite sex experienced greater isolation if they played sports. “[H]igher loneliness levels were significantly associated with … already having a gender-reassignment surgery [and] more than 4 [hours] a week of sports activities,” as “compared to no sports activity.” https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/06/02/transgender-surgery-leaves-people-lonelier-depressed-study-transgender-surgery-dept-chairman-finds/
People confused about gender need spiritual help, not surgeries, different clothes, or drugs.
Transgenderism is a lie. The Bible warns about:
15 … dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie. (Revelation 22:15)
Understand that the Bible also says to:
1 Cry aloud, spare not;
Lift up your voice like a trumpet;
Tell My people their transgression,
And the house of Jacob their sins. (Isaiah 58:1)
So, we have continued to do that, where we can (John 9:4; Revelation 3:7-8).

New Transgender Study
A new study on the side effects of transgender sex change surgeries was conducted by researchers at the University of Florida and the health non-profit Brooks Rehabilitation. The study found that 81% of those who had undergone sex change surgeries in the past five years reported experiencing pain simply from normal movement in the weeks and months that followed — and that many other side effects are manifesting themselves as well. How do Russia and the USA handle the transgender issue? What does the Bible say? What does science show? Does the Bible warn about children being oppressors and leaders causing people to err? Are God’s people supposed to, “Tell My people their transgression, And the house of Jacob their sins” (Isaiah 58:1)? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie go over these topics.
Here is a link to our video: New Transgender Study.
That said, we all need to heed the words of Jesus in Matthew 6 and pray for God’s Kingdom to come.
