Is It Jealousy? Part 2

When it was revealed to me that I was a crossdresser I had the choice to deny that I was one or embrace it. After several weeks of being in denial, I finally embraced who I was. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have been liberated, completed, and at peace.

I was now part of a group of people that I knew practically nothing about. Now I see that this was a part of God's plan for me. I love transgender people with all my heart. I am reaching out anyway I can and sharing that God loves us as we are.

Another area of my life that has changed is the way I study scripture. I mentioned in the last post that the bible has been used to discriminate against us. Certain scriptures are used to justify that discrimination. This erroneous assumption has made me study and delve into what scripture actually means. Factors such as the messenger, the people spoken to, and the religious and social climate are a few things that MUST be taken into consideration. Also with science, psychology, and archaeology, so much more is known about gender identity, genetics, hormones, etc.

It was once said that Christianity is a thinking person's religion, and it is. Blanket statements do not answer the complex questions people ask today. Scripture says nothing against transgenderism, homosexuality, and lesbianism. I know that you CAN be transgender and Christian. I have seen God's hand in the lives of gay, lesbian, bi, and queer people also.

I don't hate those who are against us. I just pray that those folks in these camps would acknowledge who they are and that God loves them that way. The self loathing will give way to real liberation and peace.
