In regard to the transgender debate, it is not that they want anything they didn't have before. A man dressed as a woman would not have been recognized by most people except those who are observant. They have probably been using women's bathrooms for years and we didn't know it. Bruce Jenner looks very much like a woman the way he is decked out.
I consider this whole mess to be the ultimate degradation of women as objects, cloaked in transgender language allowing for the formulation of hate speech and persecution of those who still maintain a standard of righteousness.
I see this as the devil way of mocking and devaluing women further. When women were encouraged to leave the job they do best, the one that allows their talents and gifts to shine, that being the running of the family household, teaching and training the children and being a spiritual strength, has been pretty much done away with. Woman had immense influence over the direction of the family when she was the "keeper of the home."
Feminism managed to convince many women that they should be like men. They were told they had no value unless they did the things men do, based on money and perceived independence.
This perceived independence was not independence at all but bondage to materialism, individuality and a quest for personal success. It no longer mattered that a woman be in the highest calling according to God, that of being the shaping of the family unit. When the women left the home to acquire more money and prestige in the world, it was a form of abandonment to their family. Now their families were being raised by the state, trained to think the way the state wanted them to think, influenced almost entirely by institutions such as schools and apostate churches.
Those who know the Bible understand that these attempts at intimidation toward believers is nothing more than an increase in ungodliness in our culture. 2 Timothy 3 describes it vividly, warning us what is coming and has come with directions about what to do when we are faced with it.
2 Timothy 3:1-9 "3 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.
2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good,
4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith.
9 But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men."
