Betrifft: Was ein "Mormonenprophet" (KirchenfÃ¼hrer) sagt

hat fÃ¼r die Mitglieder oft tragische Folgen, wie dieser Artikel zeigt, den ich fand:

"Joe" (not his real name) is an American Teenager born into the Southern Bible belt. He and his parents are Mormons. The problem is Joe is a female to male (FTM) Transsexual who was born a woman, though his mind and soul are male. The condition known as Transsexualism is a medically recognized condition. It has specific remedies outlined in the HBIGDA Standards of Care to treat it. Its not surprising that those with this condition have a pretreatment suicide rate higher than any group. In a survey here over 50% of Transsexuals have had at least one suicide attempt by their 20th birthday. PROPER Treatment can and does lower the rate to the national norm or below it.
However a local Mormon Prophet claims this is nonsense. The condition is caused by the "DEVIL", he says. Joe has been told that if he does not immediately renounce being (TS) Transsexual and
attend exhaustive religious training immediately he will be excommunicated from his beloved Church. He stopped by to tell us that he has no choice he must stop being who he is. (...)"Joe’’ has been chatting with us for about a year. When he came to us he was severely depressed and practiced the self abusing practice of cutting himself. His parents never knew. We tried to talk him into seeing a gender therapist who could help him and calling a Suicide prevention Hotline for Transgendered teens. In addition we urged him to let his parents know the pain he was feeling. After refusing our pleas he finally listened. We were not at all prepared for what happened next.
Instead of taking him to a medical professional to get the help he desperately needed, his mother took him to Mormon Church elders who "counseled" Joe themselves. He was told to dress and behave in
a manner appropriate for women. They thought that was the end of it as "Joe" complied for a while. Once again he came to the chat rooms, depressed and talking of suicide. The cutting became worse.
We armed him with articles from medical professionals and told him to call the suicide hotline and ask his mother for Professional medical
help. We were rebuffed. That was three Months ago.
On Tuesday, August 16th "Joe" announced in the chat room that it was no longer possible to be himself. I asked him what was wrong. He told me that his mother took his case to the Mormon Prophets. They declared that being Transsexual was a product of the devil himself. They urged him to renounce being TS and return to being
the woman he was born to be. "Joe" proclaimed his love for his church and declared that he had no choice or he would be excommunicated. We asked him what he wanted and he declared that it didn’t matter. His path had been chosen for him.

NatÃ¼rlich war es nicht Hinkley, sondern vermutlich ein Bischof oder PfahlprÃ¤sident, der von der Authorin als "Mormonenprophet" bezeichnet wurde.
Hier die Zusammenfassung fÃ¼r die, die kein Englisch kÃ¶nnen:

"Joe", ein transsexueller Mann, der als Frau geboren wurde, wuchs als Sohn mormonischer Eltern im "BibelgÃ¼rtel" der USA auf. Sein Ã¶rtlicher KirchenfÃ¼rst sagte ihm, dass seine GefÃ¼hle BlÃ¶dsinn wÃ¤ren und vom Teufel kÃ¤men. Er teilte dem Chatraum in dem er war, mit, dass er aufhÃ¶ren mÃ¼ÃŸe, so zu sein, wie er ist, andernfalls wÃ¼rde er von seiner geliebten Kirche ausgeschlossen.
WÃ¤hrend ihm geraten wurde, sich professionelle Hilfe zu besorgen, sprach seine Mutter mit den Ã„ltesten, die ihm "abrieten", "Joe" weiter leben zu lassen, und sich als Frau zu kleiden und zu verhalten. Nach einer Weile kam er wieder in den Chatraum, depressiv und an Selbstmord denkend, und erzÃ¤hlte, dass seine Mutter seinen Fall vor den Mormonenpropheten brachte, und diese ihn zwangen, seinen Weg abzubrechen.

Das Leben eines jungen Menschen ist egal, Hauptsache, er funktioniert im Sinne der Mormonen!
