What motivates religious conservatives to discriminate against the
transgender community, and how should transgender people respond to
such attacks?

On Aug. 9, Center on Halsted, 3656 N. Halsted, hosted a discussion
about the transgender community and faith. Diversity counselor and
trainer the Rev. Dr. Julie Nemecek, a transgender woman and former
pastor, led the talk. Nemecek helped those present explore an aspect
of many transgender people's lives not often touched upon: faith.

QuoteOne of the most powerful ways to respond to such religious arguments is knowledge, Nemecek said. She urged attendees to study the passages often used as arguments against LGBT people and learn how these passages have been misread or twisted by the religious right. She added that people should learn the opponents' arguments and the scriptures that are most popularly used.

Are there any websites with a dummies' guide for doing this?  =K
