Nope. I've decided not to share anymore of the book. And actually, the first two chapters might be cut. I don't know. But I will say the 3rd chapter takes on a darker tone and might make your heart beat fast. I am going to write the book and see what happens. I'll keep you posted.
Yet, I want to share something with you that needs sharing. I was thinking the other day that for me, as a woman, to suddenly say that I am a man (I haven't but let's say I did this hypothetically) is so arrogant and belittling at the same time. It is arrogant for me to think that I know what it is like to be a man just because I decide I want to be one. And it is belittling to me as a woman to dismiss the beauty and wonder of being a woman.
If I as a white woman said I was a black woman, society would be outraged that I would ever think I could understand what a black woman has gone through. And rightly so. I wouldn't know even if I wholly believed I was black. I would be told I was racist and insane.
Why are we suddenly accepting of all these mixed up identities?
Psalm 139:13-14 says, "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well."
God created us to be who He created us to be before he began knitting us together in the womb. For me to deny being a woman is to deny who I am and who I was created to be. I am at my best being the one I was created to be. And that means I see this world through a woman's eyes. That is beautiful.
To think how I feel is not what a woman feels is wrong. Don't limit your biological sex by thinking women shouldn't feel this way (or men shouldn't feel a certain way). There are some men who aren't as masculine as other men. There are some women who aren't as feminine as other women (according to societal views). Don't deny who you were created as. Don't mutilate the precious gift your body is. Don't fill it full of hormones it was never supposed to experience.
And please let little boys be little boys. Let little girls be little girls. If a little boy wants to play with a doll let him. That doesn't mean he should be a little girl. It just means he is a little boy who likes dolls. And if a girl hates dolls and would rather play with trucks, let her play with trucks. Play is vital to a child's development. Don't try to interpret it. Just let them be kids.
Don't fall for this world's messed-up wokeness. Don't get unnecessary surgeries. Accept yourself as you were made and you will find out who you really are -- a child of God who was created to love and be loved.
