Those are valid questions. Would Jesus correct a transgender person and call them "he" when they want to be called "she"?

I don't think so. Jesus' point was to redeem that which was lost. He didn't call the Roman centurion an oppressor or war monger. He didn't call the Samaritan woman an adulteress. I think His compassion and mercy for a transgender person, suffering from gender dysphoria, would overwhelm us.

He didn't always conform to our definition of nice.
John 8
43 Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot listen to My word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 But because I say the truth, you do not believe Me.

I love that verse. It is so descriptive of so many in the world today.
