ایمان پنهان قسمت ۹: صحبت صریح درباره #تراجنسیتی بودن در #پراگماتا – پروازهای تاریخ #۱۲

Happy Pride everybody! Even though the Baha'i Faith technically allows trans people to exist (AFTER they get expensive-ass HRT, surgery, and legal ID changes which could be dangerous to try to undertake in certain jurisdictions; i.e. nonbinary people like me are not allowed to cross-dress due to the "impression of homosexuality"), the Universal House of Justice's insistence on there only being two sexes is imperialistic and scientifically unsound. Specific quotes I use in this section of the video (which I hope you can leave a like on to help me fight this hypocritical cult until the administration is defeated once and for all and LGBTQ Baha'is can finally live in peace) include:

On February 4^th, 2021, the UHJ affirmed that "…the Bahá’í writings affirm the generally held perspective that there are two sexes, male and female. This, of course, is not in conformity with some recent social theories that divide gender into multiple types."

“The Local Spiritual Assembly also expresses concern about his current behaviour which gives the impression of homosexuality, and thus places in question the morality of his having roommates of either sex, no matter what stage the sex-change procedure has reached. An example is his dressing as a woman while still, apparently, being a man. Such actions could well be regarded as giving the appearance of immoral behaviour and as having the potential for bringing the community into disrepute."

“If a person does undergo the medical procedures required to change his or her sex and the change of sex has been legally recognized, the spiritual, moral, and legal prerogatives and obligations relevant to that sex would apply, and marriage to a person of the opposite sex would be permissible.”

“A Bahá’í considering a change of sex is advised to carefully and prayerfully weigh the medical opinion received in the light of Bahá’u’lláh’s teachings and not be swayed by contemporary notions that regard gender as something to be altered as a matter of personal preference or intuition. In addition to considering the medical factors, the believer would wish to reflect on how perception of the issue has been influenced by powerful, contemporary forces affecting society. Most importantly, the believer ought to take into account the spiritual teachings bearing on such a decision. These relate to such matters as the purpose of life, the twofold nature of human beings, the soul’s lack of gender, and the role of tests in an individual’s spiritual development. Depending on circumstances, consideration of relevant spiritual teachings might prompt questions such as the following:

“How best may one fulfill the spiritual purpose of life? Will one’s spiritual happiness result from the material solution of a sex change, or might one be pursuing a chimera, which will result in a new set of problems? Is it possible to view the challenge of gender identity as a test that one can come to grips with and manage? What will be the impact of such a decision on one’s family members, including any spouse or children?”
