People are sometimes surprised to know there are active LGBT church members. How can we sustain church leaders? How can we pay tithing to a church that has done much good, but also much harm?
Speaking only for my self, I sustain the church as it seeks to move into harmony with the perfect light of Christ. I pay tithing to God and expect the Church to be a wise steward and use those monies for ends God approves of.
If our human church leaders fail, by word or action, to achieve these goals in their daily walk, then I try to extend to them the same grace I hope they will learn to extend to me. When I am hurt by their words or actions along the way, I remember this:
“…Whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain… I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.” (Matthew 5:39-44)
Reminder:
Transphobia hurts all women, including cis women.
Statistics show that harassment and violence against cis women have increased ever since transphobes started to intensify discrimination against our trans sisters, trans brothers, and trans siblings...
This is because, as people have been encouraged to police and persecute trans folk, it has increased the ways in which people police the bodies, rights, and behaviors of women, and to demonize femininity, across the board.
Look it up.
Little cis girls have been harassed on sports fields, in schools, and on playgrounds for being tomboys and "appearing" to be trans; and some cis women have even been murdered on the mere suspicion of being trans.
The solution is NOT to be even more transphobic and find "better" ways to discriminate. 🙄 That is TRASH.
The solution is to stand firmly against the sexism that stands at the ROOT of homophobia, transphobia, and queerphobia to begin with; by standing against transphobia and discrimination against trans people.
The gender binary isn't real, bioesentiallism blows (not in the good way), and patriarchal structures are not worth defending.
Let people be whatever hue and color and texture of gender they are, stop policing them about it!

Forrest Valkai | The Line -- Transphobic Liar Calls In
I'm a cis woman, but the concept of gender euphoria sounds strangely familiar to me.
I get the feeling of being happy and satisfied to be a woman (though, obviously, not happy with the way that some people and some institutions treat me because of my womanhood 😅), on occasion.
I remember the first time that I felt it.
The first time that I realized that I was a girl.
I couldn't have been older than three, though I suspect that I was only two.
I was in the house, playing in the hallway.
Bright sunlight was spilling from the big window above the kitchen counter at the end of the hall, where my mom was at the stove, cooking.
I ran -- or rather partly-ran, partly-pedaled, partly duck-walked towards the kitchen: because I was sitting on top of a tricycle.
And just outside the entrance to the kitchen, there was a full-length mirror.
So as I passed by, I stopped and turned to my left to take a look.
I saw me:
A plump, strong, healthy, brown little girl; sitting on top of a red-and-white tricycle; dressed in a delicate, pale-yellow, tulle-ruffled dress with short poofy sleeves (it had to have been my birthday or something, it was really pretty and nice).
My eyes were dark, deep-brown; and wide from play and excitement. Taino nose. Natural coily afro hair HUGE and out and floating free in a wild halo of airy softness.
I stuck my tongue out of the side of slightly berry-colored lips.
And after a moment, I grinned wide...
Me.
Hey!
That's me!
YES!!
*n0n* 🥳✨ PERFECT!!!! ✨🥳 (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧
It was pure joy, learning that about myself -- seeing myself, recognizing myself -- and feeling that who I looked like matched who I was completely; and being so happy with that knowledge.
I remember my mom's voice, full of mirth and surprise, asking, "What in the world are you doing over there?"
I giggled with a squeal of absolute delight and finished running towards her...
....
I want that for EVERYONE.
EVERYONE deserves to feel that way.
To look in the mirror, and feel affirmed and at ease and confident in who they are.
I will never understand those who feel that the answer to the pain and discomfort of trans folk is to "just force them to conform".

The tools of oppression will advance, you're knowledge of how counter them should also advance.
VALID AF AND DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU OTHERWISE!!!
Trans women with pronouns that AREN’T she/her? Beautiful!
Trans men with pronouns that AREN’T he/him? Gorgeous!
Nonbinary/GNC/Agender people with pronouns that AREN’T they/them? Lovely!
Pronouns DON’T equal gender! So no matter your pronouns and no matter your gender, VALID.
