I really don't care what you do with your body, eat yourself to death, or stop eating and starve to death. Or if you want to overdose on opiods, do so, I can't stop you from doing it. However, when you demand that I validate your mental illness and pretend that you are correct and others should join you that is another story. When you push 4 year olds to try your deviant behavior then you are guilty of child abuse. I don't force you to believe in God,don't try to indoctrinate others into your delusions, go ahead and believe you are a cat, or a five pound bag of cornmeal if that pleases you, but stop forcing your "ideas" on the rest of us. If you want to stay stoned, do so, as long as you don't demand support from anyone, financial or otherwise. For those who want help and are crying out for help, I can offer prayers and suggestions for sources for help but the rest is up to them.

A gender spectrum is a reality, just as is all inherited personality traits and talents and defects and predispositions. Just a simple check on hormonal levels will show gender preference, without a conscious choice. It is physical, not mental. The abracadabra of TV or cell phones we take as normal was beyond the grasp or understanding or beliefs of earlier Christians. Nothing but witchcraft then could explain it. The Bible never predicted such things. The Bible merely informs a certain era of the basic nature of the heart. This observation of who we are at our core--our basic preferences, desires, and needs--is all the Bible has to offer. Its collected history is irrelevant. Who cares if David or Saul or Noah or Jeremiah or even Adam are real. Apply the heart of the Bible to every issues. And what is the heart? Christ. To love our neighbors and enemies as ourself.
But what about the Law? It is love. God is love. Love, and you cannot make a mistake, no matter what. Remember the two greatest Commandments override all judgments. Making a cake for a gay couple? Give it your best and embrace them. Show them Christ, like Jesus hanging with prostitutes and tax collectors. Trust that the God who is love transforms souls and not our opinions. Trust in that love. Just love, and your duty and praise and worship and obedience of God is done. The Father, in this way, remains in full control. It is only the temptation of worldliness that makes us think and act differently.
