"Transgender" Mormon Priest Robert Isaak Comes Out

The apostle Paul wrote to Timothy: “But know this, that in the last days difficult times will come, for people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, hardhearted, irreconcilable, slanderous, without self-control, savage, with no interest for what is good, traitors, reckless, conceited, loving pleasure rather than loving God, maintaining a form of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid these people.”(2 Ti 3:1–5) This seems to become more accurate everyday…

Robert “Leahnora” Isaak, a husband, Father, and ordained Mormon priest, is now claiming to be transgender woman. He abandoned his wife and children last Spring when he asked for a divorce and marched in the Salt Lake Pride parade. Apparently the Mormon leadership in Portland, Oregon has no problem with his behavior and allows Bob to attend the Mormon priesthood meetings.  According to an interview on channel 4 Utah Bob said, “The scriptures clearly state that we are to be our authentic selves. It’s the gender not the sex. The gender is the eternal identity.”[1] But is this really true? Are gender and sex really separated and defined by our feelings?

According to the LGBT lobby we are supposed to accept a new category between man and woman, transgender, as opposed to a behavior oriented category like “cross-dressing transvestite.”  No matter how they spin it, it is behavior based pathology not an identity. The strategy is to label it as an identity and in order to claim minority status. Now we’re supposed to approve or even celebrate rather than objecting to the twisted behavior: a man dressing up and pretending to be a woman.

The language is manipulated by radicals to influence our moral ethical reasoning.  According to the fringe left, there are no longer two options, male and female but three. On this view, gender is socialized not inherent.  But this is abjectly false. Sex is determined by chromosomes. Females have two of the same kind of sex chromosome (XX), Males have two distinct sex chromosomes (XY). Sexuality is one or the other—not multiple choice—the excluded middle applies.  

Gender is dictated by biological teleology. Women carry children and have lactating breasts that feed the infant. Obviously, they are more suited to nurturing than men. Men are physically stronger and more suited to protecting the family and hard physical labor that requires strength. These are dictated by birth. Hormone therapy and bodily mutilation will never really change one’s gender.

Nevertheless, the postmodern revisionists in the LGBT lobby want us to accept that there is such a thing as a transgender person: a woman trapped in a man’s body or vice versa. They claim these individuals feel like a woman but have the biology of a man. However, feelings do not dictate reality. Indeed, in all other areas of mental health, like someone who thinks he is a chicken, we do not advocate the person’s delusion. Imagine doctors surgerically implanting feathers onto the person with a trans-poultry disorder. Would they become a chicken? To the contrary, we would counsel the deluded individual to change his feelings to match reality.

The same applies to transgender claims. A man paying doctors to mutilate his body does not change his gender; it just makes him a mentally deranged man with a mutilated body, not a woman. It is not a valid choice, it is a perversion. No matter how many so-called gender “choices” postmodern culture adopts, reasonable people know that nature has only ordained two. Manipulating the language doesn’t change reality.

Robert desperately needs to accept the authentic Gospel message, not the false Gospel of Mormonism, and seek counseling to repent of his behavior.
