Dear AffirmingGender readers,
A while ago, I introduced my friend, Keith, to this website, sending him to the opening page with all the questions appearing. Keith’s initial impulse was to try to click on one of the questions to get an answer. (Maybe, at first, that was your’s also…?) But they were just texts, not links, of course. So nothing happened until he chose a menu item (The Issue, The Books, etc.). But I took Keith’s idea as a challenge to improve the content pathway here. This seemed an excellent method to help visitors get started on the answers that they were interested in.
I am pleased to announce that, today, we have enacted Keith’s very idea. The questions that appear on the splash page are now links. If you hover over one and it changes color, clicking on the question text takes you right to a post or category that directly answers or explores it. Every one of the now 130 questions that appear have links attached to them, whether to categories of posts or individual posts from the past nine years’ 300 essays, or one of the books that contains these teachings refined.
By the way, I invite readers to continue to pose questions to me. I still welcome those. They usually result in future posts.
Our program is not flawless. I noticed that sometimes, an appearing question doesn’t go “live” in time before it disappears. (And also the questions clump up sometimes on a phone.) But if you can get the question to change color when you hover, your click will take you directly to an answer.
Thanks for the inspiration, Keith! I hope this helps plant more seeds in souls that will grow into a strong theology of gender.
Sounds like a positive change Sam, thanks for doing that!! So some things that you have spoken about in the past are finally coming To light. The average cost for a man to get a sex change is around $70,000. Sounds like some folks are making a lot of money from this gig. Interesting thing , I listened to an interview with a man that went through this and he was explaining how in the aftermath he has a variety of infections, that are not going to go away and could seriously impede his quality of life. It is great to see that the truth of this monstrous evil is starting to come to light. We know there’s many battles ahead because the dark hates the light, but we also know that our God is provident and sovereign over all things.
Hi Keith, Yes, there are often costly complications to gender imitative surgeries. You are still making good suggestions.
This is a great idea! Thank you, Sam for all you do to minister to each one of us!
We raised our daughter who is identifying as a man to know Jesus. At 21 she drifted and has had 2 failed gay marriages. We are in good relationship but I do not use male pronouns. She has not legally changed her name but uses it on FB and socially. Family members other than her Dad and I, call her by the male name and pronouns. My public school grandkids call her uncle. Her Dad and I use childhood nicknames rather than what feeds her deception. What name should a Christian parent use?
Hi “Mom”! As for me, I don’t think I can improve on your approach. You are in good relationship and you are there for her. As parents, we always need to look ahead for our children. If the time comes when your daughter thinks differently, she will remember and greatly value how you kept your convictions for her. That will include how you have called her by name.
