My answer is NO, I did not stop going to church, either before or after I transitioned
and went Full Time.
Obviously not all churches will accept or reject your attendance...
(really it is more about the local church pastor and the congregational members)
The important thing is that when going to a new church, dress appropriately and conservatively, and
don't shove your transgender status in anyone's faces. As always in all of our life endeavors as
a transgender woman or a transgender man... try to blend in. Look at how other members dress and
particularly as it relates to being a trans-woman.... hair, make up, grooming, nails and how one is
dressed and appears can almost immediately result in either acceptance, or cause rejection.
When I relocated to my small town, I found an accepting church, regularly going to Sunday services
including Sunday School. My Sunday school attendance is where it was easier to get involved and
be accepted mainly because the class attendance is much less that the main church service, and by
selecting a class where there are more people about my age I found other members that I became
friends with...
After church on most Sundays, I regularly go out to lunch with 3 or 4 gals from the church... a couple
of us have developed a friendship and bond with each other as a result. HUGS,
