It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree helping each other to one or the other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all of our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilisations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendours.” - C S Lewis – St Mary’s Church in Oxford (1941)
Many people who claim to be trans gender suffer from gender dysphoria, the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, which lists gender dysphoria as a mental disorder. We are called to love them and care for them. This involves creating opportunities to provide them with the best psychiatric treatment -

Man has lost his ability to look to the stars to navigate the world and Christians have lost their ability to look to God’s word to navigate their life.” - Claude Hickman, The Traveling Team
“The most important time to be at church is when you don’t feel like it.”

A wife is easily taken, but to have abiding love, that is the challenge. One who finds it in his marriage should thank the Lord for it. Therefore, approach marriage earnestly and ask God to give you a good pious girl, with whom you can spend your life in mutual love .For sex (alone) establishes nothing in this regard: there must also be agreement in values and character. Martin Luther quoted in A nearly infallible history of the Reformation by Nick Page Page 167
