Pretty good article from a fairly tame and Biblical site.
I’m just finishing reading about this in the Westminster Large Catechism, Ten Commandments Q&A, it’s quite informative, written almost 400 years ago. Has any ever read it completely? The Larger, not the Shorter.
The issue that we have as Christians with a national push to normalize and celebrate transgenderism is not that this specific proclamation was released on a religious holiday, wicked as that is, but that it is the continuation of a blatant and blasphemous attack on the Word of God. This evil presidential proclamation represents the predominant thinking of society, that no sexual desires are right or wrong. The world is in lock step agreement that no sexual identity, no gender identity, and no gender expression is to be preferred over another – all are equally loving and acceptable ways to live.
Of course if you look at Trump’s lawsuits, obviously 🙄 somebody thinks his behaviors are wrong! But that’s another issue.
God also determines our gender. He intentionally created two genders that would be different but complimentary, and He decides who will be which gender. This reality comes from the very doctrine of creation itself, which is why this doctrine has been attacked. If people jettison Genesis as figurative or mythological, they pave the way for God’s design for sexuality to be called a myth. When we acknowledge Genesis as creation history, we understand God created gender and assigned everyone’s gender.
That’s why the transgender ideology may be the most blatant attack on the deity of God in our culture. It usurps the place of God and arrogates it to people, deceiving and deluding them into thinking they are gods who can determine their own gender – and yet it ends up destroying them.
When I’ve thought about this in the past, it might be characterized as part of Satan’s lie.

Genesis 1:27 So MAN created GOD in his own image, AND in the image of MAN THEY created THEMSELVES; male OR female created he them. SIV
Or something like that!
Genesis 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
