I am transgender. I am proud that after so many years, I can declare that. I am also human. With human rights. I am Christian in that I love the Lord with all my heart and soul and I love my neighbor as thyself. After all, these are the two most important commandments of all. I don't mind discussion to find a solution but your rights end, when it comes to preventing rights that were hard fought by many. Jesus promoted love and understanding. A far cry from many of today's "Christians" Not all Christians want to take away rights. Many, believe all humans, are created equal. But science has disproved many Christian concepts and I'll take science over prophecy every time. Facts are facts and beliefs are fuzzy logic. Science supports our reason for being. Not the idea we woke up one day yearning to be the opposite sex. I believe there is enough scientific evidence or at least their would be if 1/10 as much money was spent on research as there is spent on political elections. Instead of giving the military an extra $15 billion take one half of one billion to fund research. To once and for all prove we are not a threat to society. To prove we are just as worthy of human rights as the most strident of Right Wing pseudo Christians, transphobes, and just the plain uneducated.
I will continue to pray as I believe it helps relieve our conscience, that we are not doing enough to understand. Listen to each other and try to teach each other to meet a consensus. I have worked with many female supervisors and that is a trait that I admire. Ego's hardly ever enters into it. Not that they aren't capable of making decisions they just usually think before they act. That's why I believe we would be much better off with female leaders.
