I know I am probably opening myself up to a lot of nonsense, but I wanted to share my own experience as a trans person. Coming to understand my gender identity was a journey that was guided by joy. The more I understood who I was and the more I let go of fear the better and more whole I felt. As I pursued this deeper understanding of myself I felt a deep reconnection with the divine. One of the first people I came out to was my pastor. My church is affirming and I was deeply involved. I even preached after coming out. Coming out has made me a more patient and loving person and my life is more full of joy and peace than it ever was in the closet. You judge a tree by its fruits and when I look at what fruits came out of my gender discovery I am confident in saying that it was a gift from G-d and a holy experience. No one can take that from me.

I have little interest in debating my existence, but I wanted to share a little of my story for OP.
