Well, here's an experience I had recently. A Baptist came to my door. After I pointed out he was trespassing on private property and had to leave immediately, he noticed my nail polish and called me a "Sodomite".
It's easy to talk when you don't have anything come at you.
We all need mercy from the Lord; straight, gay, cis and trans.
I have been in quite a few churches and they all (of those I visited) have one thing in common. Each one thinks they are right and the only ones saved.
I was raised in a very conservative lifestyle where one would not mention any transgender feelings. Back then we never knew the term transgender.
I know I tried it all.
The super Christian, super cisgender, closet transgender and everything else I can imagine.
Where did any of it get me?
Last year I started coming out about a sin not unto death versus a sin unto death, righteous judgment and doctrines without division, hypocrisy and confusion. I shared a few of those things with a sister here.
The end result was that those who want to seek farther will and those who don't won't.
I ended up losing friends and almost everything, of which I do not regret one bit.
The sister here did.
For all of this, nobody has the right to tell a transgender they are going to hell nor call names.
These people who do this have never had to face what we face. They have it too easy. When confronted with their own sin or abomination they ignore it, justify it, shun you or call you mean, hateful, or worse.
My conclusion on this is to each their own.
The Lord gave me a way to handle being trans. I don't feel it will work for all and I surely do not wish to talk about it. The reason I feel he did that for me was mercy, pure and simple. Something we all need whether straight or gay, trans or cis.
People who make remarks like that man disgust me.
