Why is everyone avoiding topics about the lgbt community?

I feel the same way I want my chest gone and I wear a chest binder and it makes me more comfortable my friends call me different name and pronouns and it makes me comfortable

All sinners feel comfortable with their sinful habits. All sinners adjust to the rewards they get from their natural lives and self interests.
But in the end you and I MUST be born from above by water and Spirit if we are to enter the Kingdom of God.

Romans 8:5 For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit, those of the Spirit.
6 For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:
7 because the mind of the flesh is enmity unto God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be:
8 and they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But YE are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that God’s Spirit dwelleth in you. But if any hath not Christ’s Spirit he is none of his.

The bible clearly states that the only thing I need to do to get welcomed into the kingdom of God is accept him into my heart. Which I’ve done. Multiple times. why does it matter if I’m gay, straight, trans, or cis?

The concept of transgender was not around in ancient times. People who are transgender today would probably be considered eunuchs in biblical times. Look at Acts Chapter 8.

The Eunuch was travelling from Jerusalem where according to Deuteronomy 23:1 he would not have been permitted to enter the temple

No one whose testicles are crushed or whose ***** is cut off shall be admitted to the assembly of the Lord.

When he asks Philip if anything can stop him from being baptized, Philip puts up no barrier -- even though his gender is ambiguous -- and baptizes him immediately.

I'm not suggesting this is the final word on transgender issues, but it reminds us that the gospel is good news for everyone, regardless of gender identity.

What? I'm confused

the thing is, god made you the way you were, why would he make you trans then? if it's a sin, why make you trans? god made you the way you are and that means he doesn't care whether you like women or you are a boy or a girl. he created you this way therefore he respects you the way you are. i mean i personally don't really believe in god but it doesn't make sense that he would do that!

God did not make you the way you are.
That is a lie and a false gospel.
You need to repent and be changed into a new person just like everybody else.

You need to read thoughtfully what other post on here.
The issue is not whether you are straight or gay or trans or butch - the issue is that you need to be obedient to the commandments of God so as to enter the Kingdom of God and the hope of salvation.
Nowhere in the NT does Jesus preach that you need to give your heart to Him or accept Him into your heart.
That is namby pamby feel good every is saved nonsense. A false gospel.

John 3:5 Jesus answered, Amen, Amen, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 What is born of the flesh is flesh; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said to thee, Ye must be born from above.
8 The Spirit breaths where he wills, and thou hear his voice, but know not where he comes, and where he goes: so is every one born of the Spirit.
hear his voice = praying in tongues

You would rather be a 'boy' and die in your sins, rather than be spiritually reborn and live forever?
Wow - you know eternity is an awfully long time to cry over such a bad choice.

we don't exactly know if god made us the way we are or you made yourself which makes no sense-

You may be confused and ignorant but not all of us are are.
God did not make us as sinful and fallen - that corruption belongs to the dark side that opposes the light of God and the gospel.

Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth
and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.
30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.
31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

Then choose life -
Acts 2:38 And Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized each of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him.
40 And with many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, Be saved from this crooked generation.

Acts 26:18 to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

Please read this article. tps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_history
Transgender people were around a lot. But not many of them were able to be open about it.

If I can’t be myself if I have to hate myself in order to live maybe livings overrated

And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Revelation 3:20 ESV
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.
Acts 16:31 ESV
And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Accepting God to be your savior means nothing if there is no "repentance" that corresponds to your belief system.
Repentance means to turn from your sins not just continue doing them thinking everything will be ok. There is no salvation without repentance.

Act 26:20 For it was in Damascus that I first declared the truth. And then I went to Jerusalem and throughout our nation, and even to other nations, telling people everywhere that they must repent and turn to God and demonstrate it with a changed life.

2Co 7:10 For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.

2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

I’ve repented. And honestly i changed my life. before it was way worse.
but being lgbtq is not something I can change because it’s not a choice. If it was I’d be straight just to get away from all the harassment and bullying that comes from being openly lgbt

Then what you are saying is you have never repented. Being part of the LGBTQ movement is not repenting.

Did you read what I said? I can’t change it. Why would I want to be different like this? Be harassed?
Besides. We aren’t perfect. None of us are. I can assure you every one of us has sinned and probably still sin on a daily basis.
