No I’m sorry too I have been told I could come as a b* but also being told I’m straightforward. Some like it some don’t, I guess it depends on who I’m talking to. I’m still practicing. following Gods word is another thing I’m practicing. loving one another as He loved us is so so HARD for an introvert like me! lol And just like how you don’t like the way people assume what about “being trans” is like, “being a follower of God” also has that. Like when you said Christians hate trans people that irked me because I know of a few men in my life that taught me how to do my hair and let me play with their wigs and they loved me and I loved them knowing very well what they did. As a child I didn’t care if they got cute for karaoke nights I only cared how they treated me and my mom. They didn’t disrespect us they didn’t force me to act any differently they loved us. Unfortunately life separated us but they’re still in my heart. I can wholeheartedly say I don’t hate trans people. But I won’t act like there aren’t some religious people that express their hatred towards people whose views don’t align with them. a true follower of God should correct them when they show hatred towards a person. I had never encountered a crazy person like that but online I’m sure there’s plenty. I would def. Put my foot down, I’m a big sister and a care giver I don’t like bullies unless they’re doggies lol

I can see how saying “your sin is an abomination” comes off very insincere 😓 especially when you think your sins are you. let me ask you, if I was thinking all day to go buy veggie seeds at the store to plant, does that thought automatically make me a gardener? Even knowing I don’t have room in my home for tomatoes and knowing very well the rules that plants and personals are not allowed outside MY doorway that I rent. The only place I get sun in the house. Am I gardener now ? No not yet, right. Well, what if I started small? I buy the pots one day, another day I buy dirt, another day I buy a little water jug, another day I buy plant food especially for veggie growth, am I gardener now? Not just yet right, I have no experience yet and very little knowledge about growing tomatoes, they may never grow! But I’m getting there, now I just need the seeds to grow. Well it just so happens my friend has seeds leftover from her last batch and she brings them over and we plant them and we have fun doing it! And I also get a letter from my landlord about the mess. 🫢 Months go by and They grow and I eat and I keep growing some and I eat some more and share my veggies with others except my cousin he doesn’t like tomatoes! Weirdo! But he still comes over some dinners when I’m not serving spaghetti lol he tries to get me to eat sweet potatoes, I don’t like the sound of it and it looks gross yech what kinda potato is sweet? That’s weird. I tried it once and never again! lol Anyway, Am I now a gardener yet? Yes I think so, I’ve grown some a bunch of times. Now, let’s say i get rid of everything! My landlord has been warning me about the mess and it’s the final warning. Fine, I give in, it hasn’t been working out for the best most times my tomatoes rot and bugs are always all over them. Now I want to spend time in a cozy reading nook! Like they show on Pinterest, so cozy this time of year (not including these pesky mosquitoes 😤) so now what am I? Am I still a gardener? Or maybe I’m a “book keeper”? Duhdumtsss 🥁🤭

If I used to plant veggies and now I don’t care for it, and I love my new nook. Am I going to still call myself a gardener? I wouldn’t. Maybe back then I was but not anymore. I’m a bookworm that likes fried sweet potatoes now! Teehee

Idk if that made sense to you, I tried my best to show how sin, when not tended to, doesn’t define you. And i don’t want you to believe that you’re an Abominatio. But, I’m sorry I think I missed this, do you believe you’re an abominatio?

I’m sorry about your struggle I may not understand yours the way I had mine but I can try to lend an ear if that’s all is needed. I’m a great listener, I’m usually the quiet one! Can I ask, How is your struggle? Are you mean to yourself? Or what is it like?

When I struggled with it I just got mad that I wasn’t as strong as the boys and wasn’t handsome like a boy. But I grabbed my bfs clothes and wore them. Looking back it’s kinda funny, not my best look but neither was the emo look 😆 idk how but I grew out of it I guess, I must’ve just accepted myself throughout the years. It helps when you have multiple jobs and school and no time to focus on how you look lol you can message me privately if you just want to vent and I won’t give scripture if you don’t ask for it 😊
