What does it matter to anyone other than my SO if I am transgender?

QuoteI realize, some of the TG community is religious. Good luck with that.  I'm a scientist,...

The more I learn about science, the more spiritual I become (I've never been religious)... even evolution could have a creator.

51 years of being exposed to religion has made me incapable of being nice to it. And vague conceptual notional creators is not what the Bible was referring to is part of the problem :)
Well being TG is no treat, but becoming separated has sure caused me more trouble that being TG ever will be. So if I post, consider it me trying to distract myself from being lonely, not my needing to discuss being TG. I don't want to be separated a lot more than not wanting to be male looking.

Perhaps then the best thing to do is to just keep your thoughts to yourself.  This is a support site, not a bashing site, maybe you should treat it that way because nobody here is interested in hearing your complaints about all religious people.

It might interest you, or then again, you might not give a damn, your choice of course, but I HAVE been privately informed, that they value my comments, INCLUDING the religious ones.

Yes it is a support site. It's not a church, not a temple, not a mosque, not a synagogue or even a pile of rocks in the wilderness. It's a support site focused on TG issues. Hmm I'm TG, the OP is TG, and I think most of us here are TG. And it is a support site not surprisingly for TG persons.

It's not a support site for Religion. Nor is it a science classroom. Which is why I haven't been teaching anyone any science.

I'm not asking you to support religion.  I'm asking you to support all of Susan's members, even the religious ones, and I believe that includes not bashing the groups that they belong to.  Guess what, this is a TG support website, not a lesbian support website, does that give me the right to bash lesbians as a whole group just because I have been negatively affected by the ones that I have met?
Discord, I'm howlin' at the moon
And sleepin' in the middle of a summer afternoon
Discord, whatever did we do
To make you take our world away?

Discord, are we your prey alone,
Or are we just a stepping stone for taking back the throne?
Discord, we won't take it anymore
So take your tyranny away!

Hi,

I would like to thank everyone for their responces.  I now understand and it actually makes me sad.  I do not think the way that most people do.  However, I will transition and I will face the problems as they come.  I will also help others as I can.

This topic has gotten off cource in an argument about religious bigotry.  Please take that to the religion discussion area.

Hugs to all.

Jen


Moderator, would you lock this discussion down before things get out of contol?
To move forward is to leave behind that which has become dear. It is a call into the wild, into becoming someone currently unknown to us. For most, it is a call too frightening and too challenging to heed. For some, it is a call to be more than we were capable of being, both now and in the future.

I have to apologize for being a part of that.  From now on I will use the report to moderator link anytime I see religion being discussed instead of arguing.  I am sincerely sorry.

I don't think you were wrong. No need to apologize.

Thank you
