CW: Possible transphobia?? i feel like yes but I may be overreacting
I’ve posted about my ex-friend, Maxine. She went from a slightly rude, loud girl I dated who quoted movies and memes to a straight Christian girl who wants a Christian husband. At one point, she questioned being trans.
She kept talking about how kids shouldn’t even socially transition and how people shouldn’t take hormones. She also kept talking about how being gay for her was a phase, that she regretted being gay/trans, and how she repented for it.
Yes. I mean look, “not all Christians”, for sure. But it’s not a good indicator. Then you say she repented for being trans. One does not repent for what one does not see as a sin. Personally I’m over giving Christians the benefit of the doubt. If you think someone deserves infinite suffering for anything (which IS what you believe if you are Christian, even if you don’t want to admit it), then you’re basically a huge idiot or a huge asshole, or most likely both.
Amen.
