A prominent United Methodist agency has released a statement expressing its full support for sex-change surgeries for children, which it affirmed is the position of the United Methodist Church.
The missive was penned by Bishop Julius C. Trimble, the General Secretary of the General Board of Church and Society, which is one of several official agencies of the United Methodist Church.
From the authority of the United Methodist Church, he oversees the agency’s vision, mission and mandate for witness and action on issues of human well-being, justice, peace and the integrity of creation. He leads the agency in responding to critical social issues, facilitates the church’s legislative advocacy, and coordinates its priorities for the U.S. Congress.
In a statement on the denomination’s website titled ‘Protecting Transgender Civil and Human Rights, ‘ he laments that “state, local and other governmental bodies in the United States have already enacted anti-transgender legislation,” which he describes as ‘discriminatory, harmful and unjust.’
As United Methodists, we are called to stand with transgender people, rejecting laws that allow politicians to dictate their health care decisions, take away their basic freedoms like access to facilities, and pursue discriminatory practices against transgender and non-binary people in the workplace or places of business.
Trimble points out that several Democratic congressmen and women have introduced a Transgender Bill of Rights, which he lauds as important and needed legislation that will “protect and codify the rights of transgender and nonbinary people under the law and ensure their access to medical care, shelter, safety, and economic security.’ and seeks to spur them to action.
This includes the rights of minors to seek ‘gender-affirming care’ and surgical intervention, codifying that children be given the right to take puberty blockers, cut off healthy breast tissue, and invert penises into grotesque approximations of vaginas.
He closes with a call to action:
Call your federal senator or representative and let them know you support the Transgender Bill of Rights. The main U.S. Capitol Switchboard number to leave a message or ask for a specific congressional office is 202-224-3121.

Democrats must be insane. No matter how disillusioned some Christians may become with Republicans, Democrats always find a way to make it impossible to vote for them. How can anyone support a party that wants to mutilate mentally ill children? Even war with Iran is preferrable to the trans bill of rights.
Transgenderism should be recognized for what it really is, a type of mental illness. These people need help in accepting the REALITY of the birth sex. This stance by a so called “Christian” church goes against biblical teachings. “And God created man in his image and likeness. Male and female he created him”. Genesis 1:27.
When man’s idea of justice does not align with the commandments of God, he rebelliously and pridefully shakes his fist at his Creator, accusing his Creator of injustice …
The Methodist Church left me long before I officially left it.
One thing’s for certain. This is not a Bible based church that worships Christ. It’s a church headed by demons of Satan.
Sickening. So glad we got out the Pervert “Church.”

United Methodist Church = Church of Satan
There is no more vile,wicked,scum sucking EVIL walking the face of God’s earth than those who groom,give hormone altering drugs to and sexually mutilating minors. Jesus said:
For them it would be better a millstone be tied around their necks and they be thrown into the sea.I’m with Him.
