She writes:

Parts of my family have been bullying me, im really going to report her for harassment if she continues..
my mom and dad told me to start blocking my family,its kinda getting out of hand..
jesus christ...
I dont know if I should laugh or cry with that message...
wow. i think your aunt needs help. sorry if this sounds insulting. i'm not going to say she's crazy, for all i know she may have some mental issues, we all have, whether we realize or not.
But:
DON'T LET HER HURT YOU! EVEN IF SHE'S YOUR AUNT, THIS IS HARRASSMENT, NO, THIS IS PSYCHOTERROR!
im hurt and yet shaking my head at the way she wrote it lol
If she was my aunt I swear to god Id slap her in the face!
Ive heard all these stories about god etc but this is too much ...
If it were me, I would just block her and cut ties right away. People with that mindset can't be reasoned with and all you are going to do is bang your head against the wall until it breaks.
Block your aunt and any other family that start doing that or bullying you. You do not need that stress in your life.
As others have said, you could block her, or you could just say "I really appreciate that you are concerned about me, Auntie, but this isn't really something I want to discuss with you, on Facebook or otherwise." If you think your aunt would respond to that.
I am sorry you are going through this, hugs.
Block her and do not look back.
i've been cutting some ties lately,my mom and my dad have been checking up on me from time to time.He's actually really fed up with his happening, and I constantly and calmly try my best not to add more fuel to the fire as is.. but im ok, didnt put up the continuation of it, she has been to therapy, but says, that god is her only medicine, she said they diagnosed her with schizophrenia, not sure about everyone else. all I know is..
I was born in 1993..
but ill be okay, my mom and dad are actually trying to keep them away from me~ hence why I moved to Atlanta, they don't know where im at
Hi dovahking,
Well at least you can take solace in the fact that the incantations and requests being sort in that prayer/mantra are fundamentally flawed. Hence whatever 'superior' power exists cannot invoke it's requests.
Birth defects happen no matter what you do. You can be thankful you've recognised this and are taking a positive affirmative action. This includes ignoring such rubbish. Nice of your aunt thinking about you, pity it was in such a negative and unproductive way. Well it takes all types.
Let this nonsense be like water on a ducks back, and don't take possession of any of it. Just pat your aunt on the top of the head and say "Dear, dear. Never mind, you'll get over it."

I can understand that rubbish being upsetting but it is also hilarious!
I'd tell her: "Have a lie down, take two aspirins, a nice cup of tea and your delusions should have gone in the morning. If not please get treatment for psychotic episodes. Love, your nephew"
Also, Skyrim is cool.
This is why I sometimes hate being Christian. The jerky ones are especially rabid. And almost everything regarding sex and gender in the Bible is interpretable in different ways. Ack
Dovahking, Hugs.
It sounds like your Mom and Dad are supporting and keeping the radicals away. Sorry your Aunt has issues and is taking it out on you.
You are following your heart and doing what is right for yourself. I will be sending good thoughts your way.
I wouldn't take it personally. That poor woman is probably in need of a checkup from the neck up more than any of us.

Isn't that the truth, there isn't exactly any passages detailing Jesus's rabid hatred of hormones and gender identity. The thing is many people will try to buttress thier own views with something they feel has authority even if they aren't terribly familiar with that authority. Be it the Bible, Quron, or even a secular document like the constitution people will always try and use these things to validate their own views.
If I were the OP I would probably launch into a diatribe about how wrong and stupid she was being. That being said, the smartest thing to do is more likely to send her a message saying that if she loves you then she shouldn't judge you and that she needs to respect you. If her response is anything beside 100% positive then block her. You don't need to be dealing with someone who isn't going to respect you.

^^ This x1000 ^^
Once people start using religion to back up their position, give up and move on. It's a fight you'll lose every time because it's impossible to reason with them. The more devout the person, the less likely they are to ever concede that they may be wrong. You can never argue with "god" or "Jesus" (or any other traditional religious figurehead.)
Don't waste your time. Be polite, but ignore her.

Yeah. I went through this when a friend of mine turned religious. He was really hardcore about it which was weird to me. We got into a discussion about it and I brought up the point about "Well, what about someone that is Jewish, Buddhist,etc? Isn't their faith just as valid as your's?" They freaked out and started screaming about how their's was the only one that was "correct." I just shook my head and said "Okay, dude...fine. Let's change the subject." The rest of the night was okay after that but it was still really weird to me.
I think if she said JESUS one more time, it would have gotten the point across better. Just saying.
lol yeah got back to this kinda late but wow,alot of uplifting comments :),everything is going well now

AWESOME ADVICE. I need to work on the "be polite" part ;) I could have avoided so many arguments had I just been polite and ignored them.

I'm Christian so I'd like to give two cents about this. I believe God made me, and all of you, like this and have you a wonky body to make us stronger. We wouldn't appreciate who we were as much if wee weren't born like this. Does it ever say in the Bible "I shall never give a boy a girls body or a boy a girls body"? No it doesn't (:
Doesn't the bible say some where that god helps him who helps themselves?
It says in the Bible God made us in God's own image. So lets see here, God made male AND female so that being said God sounds to me to have both genders as well. It is also said God doesn't make mistakes. Sounds like a winning case for us, doesn't it? :)
PS-Your Aunt doesn't have a house full of cat's does she? She kind of fits the profile somewhat! *giggles* ;D
You know you've picked the right religion when your god hates the same people you do. *facepalm*

Isn't that the truth sister! ;)
I can't believe it. This type of mails is one of the things holding me back from transitioning...

You was Born a GIRL
This is kinda the only thing she wrote which is true. Sadly it is. Life would be easier for you if it wasn't.

What she wrote is by no means Christian. It's just narrow minded ****.
