This pastor knows my story, as does the majority of the congregation. I felt somewhat diminished by this comment she made, though. I'm certain the comment wasn't made to reinforce the gender binary or gender roles. I wonder if I should have mentioned something to the pastor afterwards?

My guess is that your pastor made the comment automatically, and not meaning it in a bad way. I do think it could be a good "teaching moment" to discuss your feelings about this with her sometime.

I came to this thread expecting pictures of a rash.

Honestly,  baptizing unsuspecting babies is weird. At the very least you should wait till they're 18 so they can tell you if they want to join that particular cult (branch of religion)


wtf?

And I don't use that phrase often.

You do know every single Christian denomination but the Anabaptist tradition baptizes children don't you??

It's not a cult.

I think it's time to lock this topic, since people can't stay on topic or refrain from breaching the ToS.
