How should Christians refer to transgender people they know?  He or she? By their former name or new name?

3/18/2016

 
Today's action is a little different, as it is not a one-time act, but addresses how Christians should speak in specific situations.  This, courtesy of John Piper and his ministry Desiring God, specifically the excellent podcast "Ask Pastor John:"

"A very common question we receive is reflected in a question from a podcast listener named Ruth, who asks: “Pastor John, how should we respond when LGBT friends want us to refer to them by a different, opposite-gender name, like when a female asks everyone to now call her by a male name? Should we?” Samantha likewise asks: “In light of the Bruce Jenner interview and other celebrities pushing LGBT agendas, how should a Christian treat a person who identifies under one of these labels? Should I treat a transgender person as the gender they chose or the one they were born with?”
