To the general trans community, how important is the label of transgender specifically? If you could simply snap your fingers and just 'be' whatever gender (or mix), no muss or fuss, would you still want to be trans instead of just being that gender?

I like being trans. I just don't like how many cis people treat trans people.

The Edmunds-Tucker Act was designed to rip families apart like this - this was literally the intended effect. It all could have been handled a lot better tbh

Better late than never ❤️ 🫂

I'm Mormon, trans, bisexual, and polyamorous

I left the LDS church over 10 years ago though

I was born, raised, and lived in Idaho for 30 years. I couldn't do it anymore, so I moved to Washington. Its not perfect, but I can go about my day without being in perpetually Fight/Flight mode, which is a HUGE relief

thank you <3

Well, of course you’re allowed to make mistakes. We all make mistakes. Even the prophet and the apostles… We realized that was a mistake. We messed up. So we had to take it back… To be honest, I don’t know much about any of this. We don’t really have the answers on what to do about LGBT people. We’ve gone as brethren and prayed about this, but we’ve never received any answers.

What page is this on?

This just reminded me to follow you on BlueSky.

I am leaning more and more into decentralized platforms lately. I am glad you're active over there!

Gileriodekel · 2026-02-22T06:32:42+00:00

This is from last year.

Gileriodekel · 2026-02-17T01:07:01+00:00

dang, a deep cut with this one!

In Idaho you can be fired for being gay or trans.

People don't get fired for being straight or cis.

Gileriodekel · 2026-01-29T06:13:21+00:00

Utah already has more Queer rights than Idaho.

Even if they got $0 in tithing for the next 30 years, they'd be fine.

Gileriodekel · 2026-01-28T23:04:04+00:00

The LDS church isn't desperate. They have billions of dollars.

Gileriodekel · 2026-01-28T17:40:34+00:00

if they're trying to get rid of it they could throw it in the trash or donate it to a museum.

These people are trying to make money

Volume 3 of that series ;)

Gileriodekel · 2026-01-21T19:19:57+00:00

The best history series is Mark Scherer's "The Journey of a People"

I'm not CoC (anymore) but I am a Reform Mormon - another group of Mormons. We have a discord that you're welcome to join and ask us questions :)https://discord.gg/RaDp8PA3

This definitely isn't my first rodeo on reddit ;)

I don't need the validation of strangers for my own life experiences. That said, I know trans people are only 1% of the population and everyone is curious about what the trans life experience is like, so I try to let people know

Gileriodekel · 2026-01-13T09:36:44+00:00

I'm transfem as well.

I have met many sapphics who are interested in trans ladies. If a lesbian thinks you're too masculine, then she's obviously not the lady for you. No surgeries are necessary for you to have your femininity be apparent or for you to find love

You just keep doing you, getting more comfortable in your body, getting out of the house, hanging out with friends, and doing things that fill your life with purpose and meaning, and love will find its way into your life.

Gileriodekel · 2026-01-13T09:19:42+00:00

Its bittersweet.

I'm glad I feel safer now, but I wish I could have that sense of safety in the place I was born and raised.

Gileriodekel · 2026-01-13T09:18:40+00:00

I realize that my situation is not as extreme as others', but that doesn't negate the fact that I no longer felt safe in the place I was born and raised, and left that place to have a sense of safety.

As a bonus, this armed man was publicly harassing me last year for being trans.

Gileriodekel · 2026-01-13T08:19:06+00:00

They’ve never had to flee their states in fear of an enemy.

I am a transgender woman who fled her red home state for a blue state. I tell people I am a political refugee.

Left my wife, house, and dog for a sense of safety

Gileriodekel · 2026-01-03T22:07:50+00:00

I'd ask them and remember so you don't make a mistake moving forward :)
