If you feel like there was some big mistake when you were created, then let’s just be brutally honest and say that we don’t share the same definition of God.

“God doesn’t make mistakes.”

Like making people trans, right?

“No not like that.”

This is pure unadulterated the exact form of catholic bullshit that drives people away. And it comes with the condescension that us trans ex Catholics clearly just don’t understand.

No, it is hateful and cruel to tell me to embrace the suffering that can be cured no differently than had I had chronic pain and you told me to reject painkillers. Except painkillers cloud the mind like dysphoria does, and my hormones cleared it.

And what am I supposed to think of a god that tells me to suffer as tantalus or suffer for eternity. If that god is holiness and my body as I have made it and my sisters and brothers in transness are unholiness I choose the later, because that is the option that made me feel love and belonging and all that other shit Christianity claims their god gives.

But no, this is toothless apologetics from someone who thinks themselves enlightened and empathetic. And so I’ll say this, Christians are called to walk among the hated, not to change us, but to show us to live a life of mutual aid rather than selfishness. Her ministry to us should be helping those of us who suffer the most, and performing the corporal works of mercy
