What's really happening 

This man approach every aspect of spirituality with so much knowledge and compassion that it is so valuable and appreciated..He is pure GOLD..thank you so much for sharing..BLESSINGS 🙏

My heart goes out to these people with this struggle, I can't imagine what that might be like. I also firmly believe that humanity has become obsessed with labels. There is deep psychological need for acceptance in one's tribe, but Instagram is not a tribe. People are more interested in "I'm this or that, or victim of this or that." No one focuses on strength and bettering their actual community (neighborhood, family, friends). We need to eliminate both the aggressors as well as the notion of selling virtue. There are so many who use a label as a way to monetize their virtue in the form of likes e.g. posting their message to the world "I'm this new label, look at my strength". I don't think that's strength. Strength is putting behind the selfishness of how to promote the label and finding something that truly helps humanity and the greater good, namely one's tribe.

Mass confusion.

Well said Rabbi! G-d doesn't make mistakes, humans do. May G-d bless you Rabbi.💗

The whole situation is so sad. Ultimately we all want to be loved and accepted. Particularly the youth of today don’t s em to have a grasp on that being an inward journey rather than an outward journey

Thank you for this perspective, Rabbi. You are much more sensitive and kinder in your words than I could be. This issue took my sister from our family. Some butcher, who called themselves a doctor, convinced my sister that she could be a man. She just had to get chopped up and filled with drugs. Six months later, she killed herself in a roid rage. This madness has to end.

Dear Rabbi, I hope this message finds you well. I want to express my gratitude for the peace that your teachings bring to many, this includes transgender individuals. While they make up less than 0.8% of the population, their struggles are often magnified by societal attention. Encountering transgender people in daily life is extremely rare. It's unfortunate that some people fetishize them, often those are who end up causing them the most pain. Transgender individuals possess a unique perspective, having lived both male and female lives. If we really are spiritual beings on a physical journey, it's worth contemplating why the expression of one's physical self matters so much, especially when it usually originates from the spirit. We all deserve to show a level of acceptance and love for each person's chosen path of self-expression. I have always found your teachings to be enlightening and comforting. However, I must admit that my heart was heavy with some of the remarks you made. As a man who cherishes my relationship with my transgender wife, I've gained invaluable insights from her journey. Her family's unwavering love and support, along with my own, have shown me the beauty and benefits of embracing her true self. In your teachings, you often emphasize the importance of love - love for the Creator and love for His creations. This sentiment resonates deeply with me. I believe that extending this love to all individuals, regardless of their journey or self-expression, is the ultimate way to truly understand and appreciate the diversity of our world. Thank you for your wisdom, and I look forward to continuing to learn from your teachings. With respect and gratitude💙

Thank you for another great talk. I’m glad you brought this up. As a gay female I’ve never wanted to be a male. At 58 I still work on balancing my feminine and masculine energy.I didn’t know what to do with that at 15. It was a forbidden topic in the 70s. I feared I was damaged. I feared everything. I wonder what insane choices I would have made if I had been 15 yr old in 2023! At such a tender age, fear is a great motivator. The information overload times we live in seems dangerous at times. What 15yrs old is happy? The options are endless for a quick fix from Rx to gender reassignment. Mental wellness should be our #1 priority but in my lifetime it’s been a butt of many jokes. Meanwhile we hid the mental illness. I hope I see change. Thank you again for all your encouragement and enlightenment ❤

I'm straight myself yet find love amongst and understanding very much through people who aren't. It's a bit difficult though as they like myself have challenges which I listen to and try understanding. I think perhaps humanity needs to accept love and that's that no matter what individuals decide.

I am a psychic and a medium. I have battled a 7 year spiritual warfare. In a past life, the roles of this spiritual warfare were reversed. I was the man, my ex husband the woman. The 3rd physical dimension we exist in as human beings and the cosmic laws that bind this reality is the Ying and Yang! Opposite v Positive Dark v Light There are only 2 genders period!! In the etheric and astral realm gender does not exist as we travel in our light bodies. If a woman love another woman and a man loves another man that’s wonderful, however the ‘science’ of gender change is a whole other agenda I won’t get into here. Thank you for the content, I appreciate your work. 🙏 💜🌎💚

It's amazing that all ancient teachings are saying the same thing. Thank you for the clarity again, Rabbi.

Thank you Rabbi Jacobson!! ✡️🙏❤️🔥 Wish you and all here a beautiful day!!💪🙂👍🎶

As I said before, we do disagree on certain, sometimes fundamental, things. But your input is always greatly appreciated and valuable food for thought, and reevaluation of one's own positions. Thank you again, Rabbi.

I couldn't agree more.

Great video

Ur calling. U r right on. U r my favorite rabbi on here. Glad I came across u. Bless u Sir!

I do believe it is the individuals choice to make a decision to do as they feel is right. Sometimes those decisions do not bring us happiness. I also believe our Lord God excepts anything we choose for ourselves, for he gave us that right. Yes we all have feminine and masculine sides to us. Learning to balance that, is a challenge for us all! I too have had friends that have made the choice to change their gender to the opposite from which they were born. Their challenge now is to live in a world full of people who are judgemental, that is a challenge in it's self, which brings them sadness. Thank you for your message, well said!

Thank you. What I do next is in agreement.

Rabbi Simon, I have been spiritually growing and I am trans and queer. All of my life I have been seen as an other and my trans and queer peers ostracized due to lack of understanding. So often we are seen as unhappy or butchering our bodies. I believe deep in my heart God recognizes my soul, and this is my spiritual journey as a trans person. It wasn't until I embraced being trans and loving myself that I was able to fully embrace him and my spiritual journey through self love. I am at peace with my gender as a trans person, even if my sex does not fit what others to assume would be what my gender should be. In trans joy I have seen light and happiness, motivation and the desire to help fellow humans. I have sought to learn more and a hunger to study Midrash and the Torah. It saddens me sometimes, feeling like I dont belong when my desire is just to connect with what I view to be our unique God. So much of what you say resonates with me, but unfortunately this had me initially turned away. The pain of the focus of people being unhappy. So many people do not speak to us, I feel like there is so much to learn even spiritually through trans and queer peers. We are merely a part of our fathers unique diverse design. I wish you well, and may you be blessed.

Thank you for this.

It’s a complicated issue. I too believe that God doesn’t make mistakes, but God makes us all differently and puts us through a unique set of challenges to assist in the development of our souls. I know a some transgender people who are deeply unhappy and have always been so, and I know some who you would never even know are transgender who are now happily married with kids in the suburbs. I also understand this somewhat as a lesbian woman. When I was growing up, I was a afraid I would never be happy because everyone around me told me that gay people never were. Even the movies and TV shows made for us portrayed only deeply unhappy people with dysfunctional relationships and broken lives. I didn’t want all the meaningless sex and serial monogamy that was supposedly a defining feature of “gay culture”; I wanted a deeply loving, committed, lifelong relationship. This is what I intentionally sought out, and 12 years ago, I met the woman who would become my wife. We went on our first date just a few days before my birthday and I don’t think that was a coincidence. Every day, she teaches me more about love and inspires me to be a better version of myself. As with anything, there are good and bad ways to express one’s sexuality, gender, religion, etc. and anything done recklessly can cause significant harm. But those trying their hardest to make the best of whatever hand they were dealt should be given a bit of grace. In the end, we all really just want same things: love, acceptance, and belonging.

I think everyone's perspective matters especially our elders. It doesn't mean I agree with everything they say but i concider everyone's opinion. It's how I form my own. I think all paths lead to the same thing. I couldn't care less who you sleep with or what you do to you genitals. I don't feel it necessary to push it down everones throat though. Everyone wants to be seen, how you do that is up to you. I hope we can live in harmony, that's all that matters to me.

Medical Human Traffiking is predatory and it begins with grooming.

Wow! Thank you!

Thank you Rabbi Jacobson :)

Thank you Rabbi for the words of wisdom.

I always find you very compassionate, no matter the subject.

'Events that happened....' God can give us the grace to change from whatever dispositions occured inearly life through his blessings in Jesus Christ.

Amein Rabbi! A very beautiful and very caring explanation! ❤️

Thank you for the lesson sir. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. This topic is not concerning to me, but I enjoy the lesson.

Thank you Rabbi Simon, this talk reminded me of the Buhdda, who said that Identity is Ego, and maintaining an Ego-Identity is separation and therefore suffering. Modern society encourages Ego and pushes for identity separation whether it's to sell products, or politics, there is huge value in encouraging identity confusion. I like what you said that We are as we are meant to be, and I like to think our souls chose the lives we find ourselves in, in order to experience the trials and joys of the life we lead. I think that people who might have been meant to be Gay or Lesbian are now encouraged to make physical changes to their body that might be better accomplished by making changes to their relationships or the influences they are surrounded by. For some, transgender might be the right choice and the adventure their soul chose, but I cannot help but notice this issue has been pushed hard by corporate and political interest more in the last ten years, than by spiritual leaders which make me question the authenticity of some of these pressures and the gender confusion it is causing.

Thanks Rabbi Simon.

So far, you're the only Rabbi that I've heard speak on this with any sensitivity. I'm Jewish, and I'm also a professional health care educator from the perspective of lived experience. I'd be excited to continue this discussion with you at some point.

God bless Rabbi Simon - sexual orientation and/or gender identity does not define who we are.

I might listen to this like 20 times

I put this way, if an individual is not happy with God's giving, then he never won't be happy with another human giving like him., because the most knowledgeable one is still a human, so it's important to anyone to accept what God's giving regardless any flaws.

I have often wondered if people are trying to over label themselves and try to fit in due to them having more of a trait of the opposite sex. I've seen very masculine energy women and feminine energy men balance each other fine. I think an older hollywood example may be (and I'm going to age myself) is Little House on the Prairie, the Oleson's. Harriet was more masculine yet still had femineity, and Nell was more gentle/feminine yet still had masculinity.

I don't think that she would be confused if it wasn't for the internet.

From the day I realized something was saying to me remember who u are and tell your friends to remember who they are . It said it over and over again in many ways . To knowthyself seems to be a level of understanding that everything lies within u. Its very interesting how a soul is in a process of developement . Self realization of gnosis. Too me finding who Iam, where Iam and my place in it . Conscoiusness in its many forms. Love listening to many types of relgion and the comparsions between all different types and how some are have foundations in others. All different expressions. Appreciate your open mindedness. Thanks for your service to mankind.

When false idols replace God, then we all suffer. Shalom

Perfectly stated.

Wise words

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏well said 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Ancient, dark spiritual forces are at work and devouring the minds and souls of naive people.

I understand that if a souls incarnations have been more than 30% female, and then incarnate as a male, they will still feel like a woman on the inside. And visa versa… This is the exception and not the rule.

A Jewish person speaking out against the glbt 🏳️‍🌈 community. I salute you sir.

I transitioned over ten years ago, and I haven't regretted it for a moment. I truly believe with my heart and soul that Gd created me this way, that Gd wanted me to have this perspective, to be able to intimately know both aspects of male and female in my soul in ways most people will never- and as it's played out in my own life, I truly believe I am a happier, more confident, more loving person now than I could have ever been if I never transitioned. Pre-transition me was constantly plagued by deep, dark depression, terrible anxiety, I could barely leave the home or look at myself in the mirror. Pre-transition me would never have been able to predict the amount of joy I could find in my life. Transition saved me. I am blessed. A small number of people regret it (very small), and transitioning definitely doesn't solve all of your problems, but I don't see being trans as a curse or punishment or anything like that. It has allowed me to rediscover my relationship with Gd in a way so much fuller with life and love than ever before. I deeply respect you dear Rabbi and your videos have brought me a lot of peace, and while I know you come with this with nothing but concern, I am happy. No one can take that from me or convince me it was wrong. Blessed are you Hashem, who has made me transgender.

Shalam alykum Mohammed arif From india

Very dififcult Indeed.

After practicing alchemy I brought out the feminine side of myself, which initially brought much confusion, but after futher study i learned what it was, and harnessed it, and then it subsided to the point that I feel in at least that respect, much better.

🙏

Thank you for your standing the ground with compassion. I nor my family deals with this issue. I try to understand but i have rights too. May I provide some facts. My son has a friend born female, but her actual um chemical or hormones are male. She was miserable for many years. She has not changed herself biologically but her appearance. This is an actual medical condition that was discovered when she was a young child in the 80s. However, it is very, Very rare. Also I learned recently, in a presentation about health and hormones. I believe she was a PhD not an MD. She stated that women who took birth control for years, passed on high levels of estrogen to their male babies. She explain how the birth control causes the reproductive system to change a woman body to . . . . Etc. This is what has caused too much estrogen to pass on to some male fetus. I think her name was Barbara O'Neil. She passed away recently.

"born in the wrong body" yeah, no doubt that's what adam and eve thought too - "God I want to be in a woman's body, please make one for me" - "no, not like that!" and of course once eve got cursed to have periods she was like "uh no fair! I want a perfect body, make me a man!" people are brainwashed into thinking that men have to play with trucks and girls have to play with dollies, or that they can't be gay - not that they are in the wrong body!!!! of course if a man wants a job these days he'd better go get some snipping done.

Please see the 2 medical reasons, previously. Also it seems everyone that I have talked to who has this issue, had some kind of difficulty as a child or in a marriage. It takes about 10 minutes of causal talking for them to share this personal information.

Gender is supposed to be a way to generally frame and honor our most effective functions based on our given sex. The forms we are born into have functions that are different between given bodies. Gender roles are meant to highlight those things, honor them, and be an effective and efficient way for a person to know themselves. Gender is a tool we have developed throughout history. It reflects how each sex in its unique natures functions, different hormones etc. and how to make sense of each general nature effectively in life. Though not physical, culturally it should not be rejected because of outliers. It does not mean women should be put into humiliating roles, or can not be leaders or have conviction, or that men can’t express their feelings or have sensitivity. It means that as a tool it has proved its worth through human history, as such demands more respect than some have given it, treating it as "illusion" or simple sexism. When people call themselves whatever they want, these tools lose their function because their meaning becomes corrupted. Our identities are as much for us as they are for the world around us, because we do not exist in a vacuum, but as a functioning piece of the world we live in. It is like a man wearing a bra, yes he can wear one, but what a bra is designed for does not honor him like it does to the form of a woman. Gender is the same way.

I wanted to add more thismorning but was on my way to work. What I liked the most about this video is the attention to things that happen in formative years, but more than that, after ppl make adjustments especially with regards to sexuality, the pain and disconnect that comes along with it and feeling abnormal while at the same time adamantly rejecting what is perceived as normal. Maybe something traumatic happened and that otherwise normal state is a source of pain because they dont know what to do with that pain, and they cant find ppl who they can trust to sort that pain out. I never felt homosexual or a sex other than my biological sex but I definitely had sexual confusion growing up. What seemed so natural for others was an impossible hurdle for me and made me extremely insecure. It wasnt a goal of mine to end up that way. And the more ppl didnt understand, the more a sense of normalcy seemed a distant fantasy and maybe even exacerbated my abnormalcy. Thanks again for the clarity

well past time for this to be said. how right he is on all points and what a shame for the necessity to have to say so.

Babilon tower in the modern version, fighting god's decetions.

I'd love your feedback. Thank you.

You give great advice did my DNA and have Jewish history thank you for introduce me to judism s pretty cool.

I’m changing my gender. I think i was meant to do this. I was given my sex but i was predestined to change it. My mom was given cancer, and she was meant to remove trough surgery. Are this alterations morally correct? One would surely hope so. When i give my account and reconning i will have some choice words with HaShem.

This is a very challenging issue because God placed people here with identification issues. Is it good for people with identity issues to spread their ideas into society? Probably not. Yet we are supposed to believe that their issues do not need help, it's just the way they are. Very difficult. I beleive gratitude is an extremely powerful force. It's natural that the creator would bring more help and positivity into our lives when we are grateful. It's logical and it's scientifically proven gratitude helps a range of issues. The thing I find disappointing is when people say I'm not grateful for this body, I want to change it to a different sex. Can you imagine how you would feel if you gave someone the gift of life and they said that. Especially when so many people are born into this world with physical problems, a healthy person says I want to change gender I'm not happy with the life I've been given. It's very sad. But at the same time God has put these people here, what is the reason?

Also Rabbi, being two spirit or gender dysphoria to me is about spirtual identification not sexual orientation. And iam about energy-related has to be a connection and i was a lesbian all my life. I tried the other way and it isnt me. Iam for commitment not into hookups. What it seems lately however god isnt put my sex life on hold and i wish to see my person that is deep in my heart. Ao, i maynot be able to have bottom surgery snd iam tored of physical pain. I broke my neck at 30 and almost died. I had a spirtual expereince. Grateful to be here Rabbi.

Scripture is very. Wild. Map.

From what I gather there is no single definition to explain the origins of homosexuality. It is a socially constructed concept that is open to interpretation by its participants. Every individual who identifies as LGBTQIA does so for different reasons as they all do not share commonality. Some are involved in a particular LGBTQIA lifestyle due to the X or Y chromosome being blocked from attaching itself to the fetus it is meant to attach itself to, (I read that in a scientific report) Still others are turned out as kids by same sex adults and mistake their sexual abuse for their sexuality, others are turned on to the lifestyle taking it on as trendy, perversion, being turned out in prison, then there are those who identify as straight that get involved with LGBTQIA types when they can't find a mate of the opposite sex but when they do they leave their LGBTQIA partners. The LGBTQIA community is a result of the social construct in response to heterosexuality. Westernized white society is purposely set up to be dualistic, working on the premise of chaos and disorder, psychological and physical warfare. All aspects of the social construct and the varying lifestyles that derive from it are left open to interpretation for the participants of each which is why one thing can mean many different things to different people. It's a way to keep a particular conversation alive that is beneficial to the survival of the society in some way shape and form. The social construct is in control of the minds of the people who live in it whereas the people never think for themselves because they don't know how.

simply put. didnt even take 5minutes to explain. thank you

Since you have spoken on reincarnation what if the true transexuals have strong ties to the past life and they were a different sex at that time and that is what is causing the confusion? Thank you? I understand your belief in we are placed in the proper body, and I can see that some people might have regrets but couldn't the regret or questioning of their choice be from all the controversy and judgement from others be making them question it? When we love our neighbors as ourselves is it unconditional to cause them doubt pain and distress? Or are we to accept the person within and not the cover? I feel pain from seeing others in distress and pain and I know that I have only my limited experiences to make decisions and choices. Are we all not one of the whole. So, if someone else is in need why do we not share and help one another instead of building wealth and separating ourselves from our neighbors because of differences? I am far from perfect I have passed judgement on people and hurt myself and regretted it and been easily fooled by some and regretted it, but I take the blame for my actions and have tried to learn from them. I am sure there are tons of things I have not seen that exist. But I don't believe everything written or spoken is true or real because all men are able to make mistakes, and some are driven by greed and power. And I find if your first drive is not love for others it is not of God. There are a lot of broken people in this world and I am one.

OMG, why did I pick this video to watch? I absolutely cannot watch it. However, based on the first 42 seconds that I did watch, I will make a comment. My comment will undoubtedly reflect my inability to understand this situation, what people live with who exist in this situation, and my totally uninformed unknowledgeable background in this matter. My comment: ------- ?Why do people let themselves, be defined by others, by tribes, by religions, by cults, by structures, by societal levels/stratus/statuses, media? ?Why do people focus on those things, did their concerned parents inflict that upon them? ?Why do people compare themselves to 'others'? ?Why not be yourself? And, I'm assuming being yourself is, not stealing, not hurting others, not scamming - if you get my drift. So, not the societal norm, as a very young boy maybe you picked the dolls and makeup to play with. Or, not the societal norm, as a very young girl maybe you picked the trains and building blocks to play with. ?Why don't parents let and encourage their children to develop what their interests are, attain their worth, value, happiness and place in society, being themselves? Children, allowed to flourish and grow, find their niche in the world and attain success and happiness. Their place in society may not be the place mis-concerned narrow selfish parents desire for their children. The Powers That Be, with love, created these children. ?What makes a person believe that they need to mutilate their given bodies to 'fit-in' and have a particular appearance? Also, I've seen statistics indicating the majority of sex-changers eventually regret their decision, given that those statistics were accurate. The Powers That Be, created these children, and what was the reason for their creation? Why cannot people expand their horizons, accept others for who they are, stop being scared by difference, stop the vileness, stop the natzi-ness, stop the supremacist persecution, stop self righteousness, just stop, stop, stop. Hey-sus Christie! Oy-veh! Gimme a break! I get so riled up about certain kinds of people and how they insist on destruction. ----- Oh yeah, and what say you about women in fields typically defined as masculine fields such as the sciences, engineering, mechanics, etcetera. And what say you about men in fields typically defined as feminine fields such as nursing, beauticians, child caregivers, etcetera. ----- And so I apologize for my disorganized rant. I regret that I may have offended, I regret narrowness, I regret many goings-ons. Upon occasion, under certain awarenesses, I regret that The Powers That Be placed me here on this nasty Earth. Or, is it that for some currently unfathomable reason I deliberately chose to be here on this godforsaken planet. Going to get back to my little corner of this world where Rabbi Simon Jacobson doesn't rile me up and make me look at things I'd rather not look at ----- May everyone everywhere live lifes of peace, love, kindness, and fairness for all, as defined in The God Dimension.

they want more people to sin with them so they dont feel so alone.

I'm disappointed by this. My daughter is married to someone who is transitioning. For us, it's immaterial, because our soon-to-be "she" is a lovely person to know and to call family. She not only is valued by her family and her many friends, but by her company, which has hung onto her and given her many raises and bonuses, despite layoffs throughout the company elsewhere. How she chooses to identify sexually has no effect on anyone, other than her, so why should it be their business?

Sexuality; compatibility between sexual organs

Men have feelings. Doesn't make you different. Forcing whatever you have on other people...mass rape.

On the other hand, change may also be God's plan.

yo

Why is Gay sold as absolute and total happiness . Dont Gays have bad days. They obviously want kids to feel like there picking between fun and no fun. Thats tricking a childs brain

Rabbi, Read Jonathan Cahn's new book: The Return of the God's

Shalom howdy morning WHAT is happening is nothing short of what has already been prophesied. I love everyone as everyone SHOULD KNOW! Men should dress like a man and a woman like a woman. This is heartbreaking but our sinful nature rebels against YAHWEH, against YESHUA!

2:43 is the place where we miss the mark entirely and veer off in a direction which can only lead to loss and ultimately our own destruction.

My own thoughts on the matter is that the creator or whatever you want to call it set up the programming, or machinery of the Universe in part for the purpose of keeping itself in the dark as to how things will play out and to force use to grow independent. The result is you got dudes that are into chicks, dudes that are into other dudes, dudes that got issued the wrong meat suit whenever they came into the world, and similar issues play out with chicks, but even so people need to have a healthy understanding of themselves and their motivations.

Straight white male here and proud of it.

So your beliefs and scripture has noting to do with this case? Interesting, really expected an answer that mirrors your claims and beliefs. "To do what is right" according to what? This video is baseless.

Besides, it is very dangerous to try to re-create what GOD created in HIS HOLY IMAGE! It is medically dangerous and an abomination! PLEASE REPENT and ask my LORD to help you! Please do not become isolated and depressed about this! Many have sadly taken their lives because their own families have shut them out! This is also a sin, we need to always forgive or we will not be forgiven. Families need to be firm but supportive, this is not an easy balancing act! It is our sinful nature which rebels against a HOLY and PERFECT GOD! I love you all and this breaks my heart and more than you could possibly know! Sincerely, Old Testament Fire with New Testament LOVE! Shalom

Remember, normal is only normal to what you’re exposed to consistently. Now we are more open w it because it’s illegal to make it a hate crime.If you’re here learning spirituality, you need to tweak your perspective even deeper. Go back further to science and the concept of Light energy and even DNA and genetic gambles. Estrogen created testosterone to change sperm (makes it swim because the womb has high PH levels) , and yet testosterone was created for strength to survive the physical world. This is a deeper convo that even aligns to Adam and Eve as men was created from LIGHT (the same stuff that created earth) and Eve was created from Adam- our biggest disservice as humans is forgetting we come from evolution and our current forms wasn’t placed here all of a sudden- we were plants and dinosaurs and mammals that finally could talk when we stood up (our throats created the L shape that allowed us to form vowels) All to multiply what we need- energy. The duality of nature has always existed. We perverted it to control resources.

It's called our sinful nature. We we're created by God male and female and it was not just good but very good. But since Adam and Eve and the eating of the forbidden fruit. We have been born into sin with a leaning and a bent and a propensity a inclination towards sin. Twisted and perverted goodness.

Rabbi, if you think trans people can not be sure they are a man or a woman, because everyone is a little of both, then you would be comfortable living as a woman? I think you feel pretty sure about being a man, even though you have both feminine and masculine traits

I support homosexuality, lesbianism, transsexuality and abortion because I think all of these things are natural selection mechanisms.

As a cisgender man, I have the perspective of knowing that those who claim to speak for God or who claim to understand God do not. I see one group who would do harm to others, and another group who do no harm to others, and so my position on this matter is clear. I choose to side with the faction of society that does no harm, the side which the overwhelming majority of psychological and psychiatric professionals support. Trans rights are human rights, and I'm glad we live in a secular nation. Messy though it may be, it's much better than theocracy by miles and miles.

Rabbi lls nevet talk about gender🙏🏻ur above this crazy time God made woman and man 🪄

My gay roommate believed he was gay because he didn't relate to his macho brothers and father. He liked baking and the movie "The Devil Wears Prada" and so his brothers kept saying: "Bro you're so gay. You're so gay bro!" Eventually he just thought that was true. So the entire reason he became gay was because he like to bake. Had a female friend back in high school who had a hard relationship with her mom. Her mom eventually committed suicide. Shortly after she started dating women. I think to seek female love she did not receive from her mother. Had a trans friend who was born a woman but started transitioning to a man in college. She talked about how she didn't really like her mom and her brother went into psychosis. I think the combination of not relating to her mom and identifying more with her brother and her brother getting psychosis made her want to surrogately become the man of the house. As there was a lack of masculinity in the home. So she 'manned up.'

There's a remedy for many of those ailments: Find a job, start a family, raise children. You won't have the time to mull over your sexual identity. And when your child for the first time says "Papa!" to you (or "Mama!") the matter is settled. Nothing is more powerful and more precious. In rich societies boredom and loneliness are on the bottom of most problems. But tell this a woke person. Greetings from Germany!

Rabbi, having gender dysphoria is real and you dont get a choice for those that need surgery and it is and individual type of thing. Please remember not to clump everyone together and make choices and assumptions about not being logical based on fear and illusion of control. I didnt ask for this. Just the way it is painful. Judgement of mental condition and physical and especially spirtual is no ones business but the professionals who deal with our population and know. What is happening to me is spirtual Rabbi.

I think this compared to everything else that I have heard and watched from you is overly simplistic. While good intentions, pure intentions, you can look in history for example, the Native Americans, who always admitted and excepted five genders: heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality transgender, and I guess what they would call fluid these days, so it is nothing new what is no is the pollutant or behavioral societal parts that you mentioned but that’s just part of the picture

How you dare to talk about people you don't and would never understand?

Given that you're a deep thinking man, Rabbi, I hope your introspection has led you to realize you could be wrong about this. Especially given the plethora of medical, and psychological evidence that supports gender dysphoria as a real phenomenon. Additonally, all the major medical and social scientific professional organizations, of which many people of faith are part of, disagree with you on this issue. And believe it's a reductionistic view of a very complex issue.

This might be the first time I've disagreed with you. I believe there's a deeper catalyst of this gender dysphoria, in the same way that there's a deeper catalyst to addiction, loneliness, depression, anxiety, or any other societal disorder or abnormality. But even labeling these things as disorders or abmormalities is misleading, because as they become more common and we fail to solve them, they become normal. I consider these "disorders" responses to stress, or even warning signs of deeper societal issues. But i don't want to paint the people who suffer from these problems as sick, because then we treat them without solving the underlying catalyst. I think these societal ills are natural responses to environmental problems. When we paint them in a bad light, it creates the perception that we need to fix the individuals carrying the ills, rather than environment that is creating the ills in individuals. In that sense, it's the environment that is sick. I wouldn't actually consider gender dysphoria a sickness if the gender transitions didn't remove our reproductive capacity. But then again, maybe a diminishing reproductive capacity through a growing LBGT movement is a response to an environmental shortcoming. Maybe our genes are expressing themselves in such a way that recognizes an unstable environment and the LBGT movement is serving as a natural form of birth control. We can look at other ways that humanity in the first world is losing its reproductive capacity too. Young men and women are dating less and having less children. Loneliness is through the roof. It seems to me that gender dysphoria and the LBGT movement as a whole is part of a larger overarching pattern of reducing reproductive capacity, rather than an isolated phenomenon.

I love you so much Rabbi, I will ALWAYS have the Jewish people's back!!!!

Rabbi Jacobson has a soft approach. God said; _kill'em!_ That's why I always appreciated my cousin, Yishmail.
