What transgender people teach us about God, and our humanitySharon Groves, The Washington Post, August 19, 2013, 8:59 am
In order to grow, one must leave the 'love the sinner, hate the sin' framework behind...
What would happen if rather than depicting transgender people as "fac[ing] a long road of learning what it means to live as God created them to be, as male or female," we actually took seriously the question of what it means to be human and, more expansively, what it means to live into our full humanity? What if rather than saying that biology is destiny we actually explored the ways in which we all experience our own gender identities and expressions? What if we learned about the lived experiences of our transgender peers?...
To live our lives with true compassion and caring, we need to... ask the deeper questions about gender and the diversity of experiences. But to do that, one must ask the right question and be open to a multitude of answers.
