Last night after bible study I shared with the pastor that I was transgender. He was so kind and loving and thanked me for sharing that with him. He aceepted me as a transgender woman.  I left the church feeling wonderful.

Hi Gennee,
WOW !!! That is totally awesome. Wish I had that type of reaction. Mine was totally the opposite. Was told the congregation wouldn't be able to 'cope' with it. So much for "progressive" Australian society.

Be safe, well amd happy
Lotsa huggs
Catherine

Wow congrats genee.  I wish my pastor (who is also my sister) was so accepting.  I was basically told it was a "spirit" and that I need healing.  That is great news!!!! 

*throws a party*

I came out to my pastors last year. Then in January I gave a testimony about being trans to the entire congregation.

It's great when our churches can be there for us.

Congrats!

So Cool! That's the difference between a real Christian and the ones that are just playing church while busy throwing stones at other folks. It's always refreshing to hear stories like this about people like your pastors. I'm not an especially big football fan, but think that quarterback Tebow is another fine example as well as the B-Ball player Mr. Lin.

Thank you all for your kind words. I really feel this is a milestone for me personally.

Holly poop berries.  Ya I would never tell religious people.

Goes to show you Jennifer that we can't paint them all with a broad brush!

That's great. My church is very understanding of anyone and loves everyone

Good news is always great to hear.

That is great news Gennee. I know your Faith and religion are very important to you and that you live to the Word of your God. I'm so totally happy that people in your Church also have a true religious belief.

Wonderful my sister, wonderful.

It is truly wonderful! I'm sure that is a tremendous weight lifted from your shoulders!
