Member of Parliament (MP) for Ningo Prampram, Sam Nartey George, has criticised supporters of the LGBTQ+ community who argue for the right of individuals to choose their own gender, expressing disagreement with their stance.

The MP intimates that the LGBTQ+ people are trying to play God by assigning different sex to themselves order than the ones they were born with. He said this in an interview on Ghanaweb.

The MP posited that God is now showing the LGBTQI community his power because people who were born male but have through operations to become females (female transgenders) are now getting prostate cancer which is a known disease for adult males.

“You see this is at the base of everything, there is a difference between sex and gender. The LGBTQ group try to make them one and the same to confuse the world but you can confuse Sam George and his people.

“Because we know what the difference is. Sex is a binary contrast that is biological and determined by God, you can’t change it. Sex is male and female, that is it. There is nothing beyond male and female.

“… and that is why those of them who claim that they have transgendered from male to female and they are unlucky and they get prostate cancer. You would see the person dressed as a woman with makeup and then she is treating prostate cancer. Transgender women are now having to deal with prostate cancer, you can’t cheat God,” he said.
