The church and being trans gender
Now here is another interesting issue alot of peole bring up. Some people will try to bring up their religion as a reason for why being transgender is a sin. the amazing truth is, the bible never covers this. The closest it comes, is to say that everybody is God's child, no matter what. Think of him like an extremely supportive parent in this case. The bible says that if you ask his forgiveness, he will show it. And being trans gender is not a sin in any form. people try to say it is by saying that God makes no mistakes, and they are right. God doesnt make mistakes. However, biology does. God creates our minds and souls, but our physical being is created by a biological process. who is to say God didnt want me to be female. Maybe he did, and biology had different ideas. As for people saying that the church is ignorant, that just isnt true either. People are ignorant. The roman catholic church as a whole supports people who are different, and embraces them. That of course doesnt mean that everybody will agree with it. There will always be those who hate us, and we need to forgive them as the Bible has taught us to. I personally am a devout episcopalian. i try to go to church every sunday. I also had the fortune of being raised in the denomination that has the most open beliefs, and least offensive people. Never blame religion as a whole for the world's problems.
