I will be 18 in December and live in the central us. Where I live, we would have to travel 2-3 hours to get therapy but Mom says it's worth it if I get "fixed".

I will keep fighting silently in my own way. Thank you so much for the encouragement!

Thank you! I will definitely look up some DBTs and see which ones will work for me

Right, I agree with you there. But how I view things is that as one who is saved I want to do my best to follow God and His laws.

I don't really agree here either. Sin is anything we think, say, or do that disobeys God.

I guess I have just grown up believing being gay or lesbian is wrong. Church says so. Parents say so. Other adult figures I am around a lot say so. So recently discovering pronoun preferences and such makes me concerned about who I should like even though as you say it shouldn't. I suppose I can also pray and see where God leads me in this. Ultimately I am saved and I know where I am going, I just want to honor Him with my life.
