Evangelical transgender conference rejects notion that gender identity can change
http://www.religionnews.com/2015/09/21/evangelical-transgender-conference-rejects-notion-gender-identity-can-change/The Association of Certified Biblical Counselors is planning what it calls evangelical Christians’ first-ever conference on transgender issues.
But don’t expect to hear from any transgender voices at the conference.
The association will co-sponsor “Transgender Confusion and Transformational Christianity” with the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood on Oct. 5 on the campus of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky.
All the speakers have agreed to a statement published last year that rejects “that a human being could possess a gender other than the one indicated by biological sex.”

Well, it's really not that different than religion itself: start with your conclusion, then make up stuff to support it.
