Venting

     I really need to vent!  I apologize if a post concerning faith isn't for you, but you may actually take something away from this that you wouldn't expect if you have the gall to stay and read it through.  A lot of people in the LGBTQ+ community have, sadly, turned away from God, thinking God is against them.  But, friends, God is no more against you than He is anyone else you will ever meet.  I know, "Christians" will say, "the Bible says..."  I don't give a good crap what the Bible says about our sexualities.  What I do care about is the individual souls of each and every one of us!  Not just LGBTQ+, but EVERYONE!  You have to take what the Bible says with a grain of salt, because (gasp) the Bible is NOT the ACTUAL word of God.  It is the INSPIRED word of God; meaning it was inspired by man's ideals of God.  The men who wrote the Bible told us what they believed was godly in their opinions.  However, that doesn't make it true.

    Now, if we were living in the Middle Ages, that last sentence would get me burned alive for heresy.  But, I don't think most Christians fully believe everything in the Bible, although they claim otherwise.  If they did, you wouldn't see an out of shape Christian, or a sick one... or one who overeats.  So, don't worry about what those self-righteous busy-bodies say; their basically virtue signaling

    The reason for writing this is because some asshat told my friend, Susan, that since she has tattoos, she can't go to Heaven.  That caused Susan's faith to falter a bit.  Which, in turn, means that asshat doesn't get to go, either.  You see, in Luke chapter 17, Jesus told his disciples that there will always be instances that cause your faith to falter, but that the person who causes another to stumble will face judgement.  So, all of those Christ-like wannabes...  Yeah, don't worry about them; they're not going anywhere.  So, go ahead and live your best life, but consider living it for God and watch the self-righteous melt down.  It'll be kind of like God getting revenge for you!

Truth and Lies: Facts and Fictions About Being Transgender

      When I came out as a trans woman, I was met with love by some, confusion by others, and silence by many.  I realized quickly that many people don't understand what it means to be transgender - and worse, they're often misled by myths that do real harm.     So, I'd like to set the record straight.  Here's a list of common statements made about trans people - some true, some false - and why it matters to get them right. Trans people choose to be trans. False:  Being trans isn't a lifestyle or phase - it's who we are.  No one chooses their gender identity any more than they choose their hair color. Gender identity is the same as sexual orientation. False:  Gender identity is about who you are.  Sexual orientation is about who you're attracted to.  They're separate, and both are valid. Trans people can be straight, gay, bi, or anything else. True:  just like anyone else, trans people have diverse sexual orientations....

Blessed Are the Builders: A Call to Heal the Faith of Our LGBTQ+ Family

“ If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble...” Christ gave a stark warning of retribution and, yet, churches, filled with self-righteous pseudo-Christians, weaponize scripture like stone, bruising souls, rather than healing them, in the name of holiness. I have always believed that ones faith is the sanctuary of their soul. But sanctuaries have become battlegrounds because, somewhere along the way, the Body of Christ mistook uniformity for unity and created theology that wounds the very souls it should be healing. Especially when those souls are LGBTQ+. The harm didn't come from God – it came from those who spoke wrongfully in His name without knowing, or understanding, His heart. What if churches cause individuals to stumble? Romans 14:13 urges us not to set stumbling blocks in the paths of others. “Let us not therefore judge one another anymore; but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother'...

The Perfect Storm

       Several years ago, my oldest daughter got engaged to be married.  One evening, she called me so that her fiance could properly ask the father of the bride-to-be for permission to marry his intended.  That impressed me!  I thought good breeding was a thing of the past.  It didn't matter to me that he's Mexican-American in the truest sense (meaning he was born in Mexico, immigrated to the U.S. at the age of five, and is a legally naturalized American citizen).  What mattered is that he and my daughter were, and are still, in love.  I know that according to the ultra-liberal mindset, I'm supposed to be a racist because I'm White.  But, racism isn't a White problem; it's a human problem.  I think I'll write a post in the future covering nonsensical ideologies such as the Liberal mindset, the Conservative mindset, binary genderism, etc...  For now, however, I digress.     In the months that followed, my da...
