I guess "A Boy Named Sue" isn't their favourite song

A couple in the Isle of Wight have withdrawn their 6-year-old son from school because he came home one day expressing his confusion over the fact that one of his classmates turned up in boy's clothes one day, then the next in a dress.
           They felt it was wrong to have their child confused in such a way, even though the school, a Christian one, was carrying out the church's guidelines of promoting gender equality. They have said they are now going to home-school their son, and part of their teaching will doubtless be along the lines of:
"God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, and He certainly didn't make anyone who was Adam one day and Eve the next."
           They have form. They did the same thing with the child's older brother not long ago, for similar reasons. "Boys are boys and girls are girls", is their position.
I can understand their little boy being confused. It's a confusing world. Even tiny babies find the world confusing: that's why they cry their eyes out when they don't get something they want. Slowly they learn that the world is not a perfectly ordered place where everything happens exactly the way they want it.

For as long as there have been human beings, there have been those who wish to have sex with their own gender group, and those who have not been happy in the gender nature appears to have chosen for them. And for almost as long, certain groups have reviled these people. Homosexual sex was a serious crime in Britain as recently as 1967, and in some parts of the world it remains a capital offence. But slowly the world is becoming a more tolerant, accepting world. But not everywhere. Donald Trump recently announced that transgender people have no place in the US armed forces.
       And then we have families like the Rowes, who want to inculcate their child, not with the fact that the world is indeed a complex, confusing place which it is our duty to come to terms with, but a place of black and white, where only heterosexual sex is OK, and there is no place in it for someone who wishes to change their sex. Just one thing: where in the Bible does it say anything about transgender issues?
