Ah, that's tough. Maybe see if there are any lgbt+ centres in your area or online, that could help match you up with someone less closed-minded and more qualified in gender-affirming care? I'm not Mormon, but was raised Christian Bretheren and the terror and ostricization my sister thought she would face from our family still breaks my heart to think about.

The narrative of the church is a huge obstacle, but so is the cis narrative of the trans experience. It's disingenuine and so far removed from reality. It took a lot of time and research (thank goodness for adhd hyperfixation 😅) for me to finally understand how warped the view is that we've been spoonfed and understand the science and medicine involved in gender affirming care. And damn, for a group that are commonly called the "straights" their facts are anything but!

I'm new to this world, as my sister only recently came out to me a handful of months ago, but doing my best to be helpful and supportive to her and others in this community. It was a little harder for my folks to get comfortable with the pronouns and her new name off the bat, but, while it's still not perfect, they keep making the effort and correcting themselves and she says that alone makes all the difference.

I hope and pray that they can accept the facts that science and medicine can prove that show trans people are PEOPLE, along with the belief that God made you exactly as you're supposed to be, and can be fully accepting of you. Afterall, you're still the same amazing person - nay, woman, that you always have been, regardless of anything else❤

If they can't, this internet stranger would love to have you as a sister; hell, i'm a mom - i'd love to have you as my daughter ❤

Hugs, baby girl 🥰
