Seven things I'm learning about transgender persons

I don't know much about transgender issues, but I'm trying to learn.

How about you? How much do you really know about this subject beyond all the screaming headlines and concerns about who goes to the bathroom where?

The truth is that I don't know any transgender persons — at least I don't think I do. But with the help of a pediatrician friend and a geneticist friend, I'm listening and trying to learn. This is hard, though, because understanding the transgender experience seems so far outside what I have ever contemplated before. And the more I learn, the more theological questions I face as well. This is hard, even for a pastor.

===========================

An interesting point of view from a baptist minister. Something to share if you have baptist friends who are thinking about how their religion sees trans people.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?
