I need to talk and pray with Christians who are Transgender

Hi girls,
It appears that the person I recommended in a post last summer has disappeared from the net, I went to see her latest video this morning, and it says the owner has closed the account. She’s a long haul truck driver and does a lot of driving through the States, she is a trans woman and I can only hope she’s going silent to remain safer from the haters she may come across in her job.
Hugs,
Ms. Lauren M
Yes, I think we all need a little prayer now and then. Gender Dysphoria is such a hard subject for people to understand. I still have a hard time with it myself sometimes; and I’m living it. I’ll try to send all the positive energy and prayers I can your way. Hope somehow there’s a light at the end of the tunnel for you and your family in this. Patience is a virtue. Understanding through education. Love conquers all.
Best wishes,
A. Marie

I am transfemme/genderqueer, I am christian too but do not attend anywhere. I have lost a lot of my faith in people so attending churches was not my priority, reading the bible isn’t even a priority, I barely pray, I guess I lost a lot of my interest in that stuff after what I had gone through. I am not going to go into that but I am also married to a wonderful woman but I am probably going to end up divorced here in the next 6 months or less. Depends on what happens with a lot in our lives. I hope for the best for you and your family but its not like this is a choice for us.

Sorry to hear all that,But like you said it’s a choice,Now with saying that!! The people at my church are not very trans. friendly, they would not kick you out but they definitely disagree, Now again with that being said, I tell people you all are looking at the outside of the person and not the heart of the person, I think you would agree that we are all different. that’s just the way God made us. Otherwise it’ll be kind of a boring world. you got to go with a persons heart not the way they look or talk ext. God loves everybody. God don’t care how we are or how we look as long as we love him with all of our heart and follow him. I trust God every day what he’s doing in my life (every day )I may be different, but that’s how he made me. God did not say it would be easy, but that he would be with us. and you’re not supposed to judge but if you’re going to judge ,judge by the persons heart, not by the way they are. I hope I can inspire you. remember, all you have is today because you don’t know what tomorrow will bring so enjoy today to live a positive life stop looking at all the negative and you’ll find that it is a happier place. I pray that things will work out for you. you can pray to God on small things and big no matter what he’s always listening.,I hope I did not offend anyone just telling you the way I feel thank you,

Its not a choice!

I think the fundamental issue is that those who work against us believe that sexual orientation and gender identity can be changed. The truth is that they cannot. Similarly, you cannot make someone gay or transgender. If that was the case, conversion therapy would work, only it doesn’t. Sadly many have been hurt needlessly.
I suggest these 2 pieces:

I didnt realize that Im trans until a long history as a crossdresser. Im Christian and turned off by the anti-trans narrative spreading through the church. Yes, I wznt to transition and Im working towards that end. And Ive had to suffer the guilt trip that many others have tried to put on me.
Trans people are living souls created by God as much as any others. Its no diffrent than discrimination because of race, co!or, or policical belief. I know that someday I will give account for my life as well as anyone. Hopefully my faith will not have been in vain. Jesus bless you all! Love, Alura S.

I have prayed and read in my Bible app every day for the last 10 years or so . I believe that God makes no mistakes and that there is a reason for the way he made me, and I’m finding out I’m not alone , I fully trust God and try to live life with best intentions,I am not perfect and will never be perfect, but I know he loves me.

For all my lovely and dear sisters, here’s a link to a Youtube channel by a very incredible, and devout Christian trans woman named Kimberley Beregrove. Do yourselves a huge favor and check her out. She covers almost every topic we might deal with. She’s straightened a lot of things out for many of our trans sisters and has had me in tears more than a few times. Here’s the link:

Kimberley is very good, I have been following here for almost 2 years now. She has helped me keep my Christian life on track while still being a CD/TG?

Lauren, Thank you so much for this link. I have been watching several of her videos and they have brought me a lot of comfort and helped with being able to understand and answer so many things that we encounter in our lives. She has a wonderful personality and is someone I really enjoy listening to.

I am a practicing Catholic as well. I find it hard to make sense of all of it, but I know who I am now, after many years of self denial and lack of understanding. I know two things for sure… I will always remain faithful to Catholicism and faithful to myself. I know who I am and trust that it fits into the grander scheme and that there is a place for me in paradise. After all, the first and most important commandment is LOVE so in addition to loving God and my neighbors, finally after many years of pain, I finally love myself.

This survey is highly biased since the only answer is yes, LOL!
I assumed the 2nd YES was actually NO and chose that.
I’m a recovering Catholic and on a path that’s entirely my own.

The answer here seems obvious: There are many “flavors” of Christianity. I live a couple of blocks from a United Church of Christ, and a few miles from a Unitarian Church. Both are very LGBT friendly.
Feeling guilty about being who you are is definitely not good for you.
I’m not religious at all, but I’m not afraid to tell people, “God made me who I am, and who are you to argue with it.”

I feel your pain. I am currently going through the same thing. Just remeber you have been dealing with this along time. They havnt. Give it some time. And try not to go crazy.

I clicked “No”, assuming the bottom “Yes” is really a “No”.
However, if there was a distinction between “Christian” and “Evangelical”, then I would have chosen “Yes”.
Good luck and God bless, Bobbi.

Hi Bobbi, I completely understand. I’m a Christian and have battled with this all my life. There are days that are good and then there are days that God and I have a lot of heart to heart discussions because of what I’m going through. The one thing I know is that he loves me and I love him with all my heart. I know he is always with me even when I’m at my lowest and hurting. I will be praying for you and you can always reach out here anytime you need to.

Bobbi:
For full disclosure, I grew up in the Presbyterian Church and have held church offices in 2 of the 4 cities where I have lived. For various reasons, I have been unchurched for about 20 years.
The unfortunate truth is that many LGBT folks avoid being affiliated with various religious organizations is due to bad experiences. That’s sad because many have used their religious beliefs to discriminate against LGBT people. I think a key point for all of us to remember is that our problem is not with The Word, it is how The Word has erroneously been co-opted by some practitioners.

I’m also a Christian woman. Still struggling with getting my wife’s acceptance. I’ll pray for you if you’ll pray for me.

Well, friends and sisters, I thought being a crossdresser was hard! Now Im planning to transition. Pray for me as well, I have a pastor friend who is not kindly disposed towards we trans types. Love, Alura

I am also a transwoman who has been a Christ-follower since I was 8. Almost 6 decades now. I was experimenting with girls’ clothes as young as 5 and I’ve internallized all the “clobber passages” in the Bible that have been used to make us feel guilty and unworthy. They are misinterpreted and in some (many?) cases intentionally mistranslated to fit a hetero-normative agenda.
There is ample reasearch to back up what I say here. Unfortunately, most believers have been taught a way to think about LGBTQIA+ people and they earnestly believe what they have heard in church. There is no basis in scripture for these beliefs but you can’t convince them of the truth without God working to change their attitudes.
I am happy to discuss this further but to keep from offending others on the site that do not believe as we do, best to take it to private chat.
Hugs,
Brie

Hi Bobbie, I’m also a Christian transwoman, who will be praying for you and your support of gender dysphoria. I have gone through alot of discrimination in the churches because of who I am now, but I have not given up on God. I pray for all transgenders, who are going through the same thing your going through and for others who are going through others issues in life. My prayers are for all of us to be safe in this misunderstandable world. I pray that God will have others accept us without judging us.

Hi Bobbi, I am a Christian as well. If you’re going through a tough time being transgender and a believer, I understand why. When I came out to fellow believers at the church I went to, I was, basically, not accepted, period, no questions. I am now going to a church that accepts me for who I am and is caring and considerate. Feel free to talk anytime. 🙂
hugs,
Lauren M
