Aug 2, 2017 - Trystan Reese, a transgender man, gave birth to a healthy boy in August 2017 in Portland. ... We're loath to be put in that pioneer category.".
6-13-18, Telegraph -- Transgender [woman to man] Trystan Reese and 'his' partner cisgender* man Biff Chaplow have become parents to a baby boy [did it the way God designed creating a baby although unknown if done by artificial insemination]. They don't want Trystan to be listed on Birth Certificate as 'Mother' so they're in court.
Their baby boy could become the first person without a legal mother if Trystan and Biff win historic court battle. The birthing 'person' had been biologically able to get pregnant and give birth, but had legally become a man when the child was born. On the birth cert Trystan wants to be listed as the child's "father" or "parent." However, a birth registrar told 'him' that Oregon law requires people who give birth to be registered as mothers.

A number of homosexual men have gone through successful pregnancies some of them long after beginning hormone replacement therapy. In one well-known example, the Village Voice published a narrative about Matt Rice who conceived in 1999 through artificial insemination and gave birth. More here
Cisgender is a word that applies to the vast majority of people, describing a person who is not transgender. If a doctor announces, "It's a girl!" in the delivery room based on the child's biological body and that baby grows up to self identify as a woman, that person is cisgender. So Biff Chaplow is a biological man and accepts it.

The first successful womb transplant occurred in 2014 when a thirty-six-year-old woman, who was born without a uterus, was implanted with a donated womb from a friend in her sixties. Since this time, eight children have been born to women following uterus transplants, but the procedure has not yet been attempted with a man trans woman.
Justification From the Just God
“The righteousness of God is by faith of Jesus Christ upon all them that believe: For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: To declare His righteousness: that He is the just and the justifier of them who believe in Jesus.”
6-14-18, * -- In our culture various views about God exist, there's one belief that most people hold in common that “God is love.” This would not be a problem if the belief that God is love were defined by biblical content. Unfortunately, for many the idea that God is love means that our Creator overlooks or ignores our sin. They falsely believe His forgiveness is unconditional, demanding no payment for our transgressions. In reality, God does not simply overlook sin; there is a condition that must be met to be forgiven and accepted into His forever family.
Scripture also speaks emphatically about God's righteousness and justice. (Deuteronomy 32:4) He does not allow sin to go unpunished. (Num. 14:18). His forgiveness is costly; the only question is who will pay the price?
On a human level, we regard it as a great injustice if a guilty person escapes punishment for a crime. How much more, then, would it be unjust for the perfectly righteous God not to punish sin?
For God to be just, He must impose penalty for transgression; the consistency of His character is at stake. If He were not to punish sin, He wouldn't be truly just, and if He were not truly just, we couldn't believe what He has revealed about Himself (Isa. 5:16).
Concurrently, God tells us that He’s merciful, unwilling that any of His people should perish (Ps. 86:15; 2 Peter 3:9). He wants to justify declaring them righteous so they can live forever with Him. Yet He must do so while preserving His justice, therefore because of His love, He sent His only begotten Son (John 3:16) the Lord Jesus Christ Who paid the price in place of all who repent believing in Him. (Luke 13:3; Romans 3:22–26) He remains true to what He has revealed about Himself, so we know we can trust Him. (2 Tim. 2:13

Korean Churches Witnessing a 'Miracle'
River of Life, a school run by Ben Torrey, grandson of a famous 19th century American evangelist, Reuben A. Torrey integrates reunification into the curriculum for Korean Christian children. His students meet with defectors and, building on personal relationships, slowly embrace the idea of one Korea. One of Torrey's students said: "I went to a public elementary and middle school. In that school, at least once a year, we talked about reunification, but it was just something in the textbook, nothing that comes alive."
Like Torrey, Korean Christians who support reunification see it as a political and religious goal. And although it's an uphill struggle, they believe with faith anything is possible. The faith of many Korean Christians supersedes political calculation. Or, as Ben Torrey told one of the students about a united peninsula, "God has to do it. It has to be a miracle."

Koreans Did. | Christian History
Feb 9, 2018 - In 1790, Korean Christians learned that the pope had forbidden converts ... We tend to think that Christianity entered foreign lands only due to missionary work. Not so in Korea. Until the late 19th century, the mountainous Korean Peninsula was governed tightly by a Confucian tradition and closed off to most foreigners. Missionaries found it difficult to penetrate the reclusive nation, focusing instead on Korea’s larger neighbors, China and Japan. Consequently, Koreans themselves played a more significant role in importing and later spreading Christianity to Korea.
Clearly some 'enlightened' born again believers shared their faith gathering the host of believing Koreans. They didn't hide their 'Light' under a bushel! Matt 5:14-16
They were not ashamed of Christ. Romans 1:16. They shared the good deeds of the Lord and His free gift. Psalm 105:1; Isaiah 12:4; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 2:1
They were obedient being a good witness. Acts 1:8 Not wanting any to perish that they may save some. Romans 11:14
Maybe during the Easter, 4-1-18 visit Mike Pompeo shared Christ salvation message with Kim Jong-un! And the apparent good results from Pres Trump's visit ... Maybe Kim is born again and the nation of North Korea will be freed! Anything is possible with the Lord. Hallelujah!
