When the news media refers to the Nashville shooter as transgender male I have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about. Seriously, I don’t know which way the person is going. Is it a female who considers herself a male or a male considering himself to be a female?
Maybe the obfuscation is the point.
I’ve read a number of articles and half refer to the shooter as a woman and the other half as a man. We can’t go on like this. Words must have meanings. We must have some agreed upon concepts such as pertaining to what is a human, what is a man and a woman, and maybe what is a marriage.
We are sharing this space on the same landmass. We are ruled by the same elites. But we are no longer one country, one culture. We are torn. I don’t see how this doesn’t end in violence. I fear it and pray that it doesn’t come to that.
When we evangelize we bring people together. I truly believe evangelization is the only thing that can save our country from spiraling into civil war.

In modern usage, “trans” means what “pseudo” used to. A “trans female” is a pseudo-female, i.e., “dude looks like a lady”. I mentally translate “trans” into “not a”.

It appears that this shooter was in fact a woman who pretended to be a man, not the other way around. For anyone not in her family, that is a matter of trivia at this point.

“The word of the Lord came again to me, saying: “Son of man, when a land sins against Me by persistent unfaithfulness, I will stretch out My hand against it; I will cut off its supply of bread, send famine on it, and cut off man and beast from it. Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness,” says the Lord God.” — Ezekiel 14:12-14, NKJV
I am not sure even evangelization can save us now.
“Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry. And He said to me, ‘Son of man, can these bones live?'” — Ezekiel 37:2,3
These bones can live, but probably not until they first become very dry bones.

Obfuscation indeed. When words fail, we turn to the Word that saves. Jesus, mercy!
