It's hard to change gender in private!
~ Deirdre McClosky

We are all small islands swimming in a great sea, each isolated from its neighbors by an ocean of ignorance, fear, and uncertainty. Our relationships are the bridges that tie us together...

Whether we choose to be open about our gender transition, or to avoid declaring it to the general public, our motive should be guided by Christ's love in our hearts.

"Coming Out" can be a powerful experience, often serving as a catalyst in revealing our special secret self, while at the same time, improving our overall communication skills.

As a church family you have been wonderful to me as Bob, and it is my sincere desire and prayer that this will continue as my life continues to change, and as I enter my new gender role as Brenda.

Jesus gives us a model of how to live our lives--by demonstrating high character and tolerance of others whom we wish were more tolerant of us.

If I truly believe that the Lord loves me unconditionally and has forgiven me ALL my sins, why would I still be afraid to "come out?"

Many transgender people choose to live “stealth”—never admitting to being transgender—because of safety concerns, societal stigma, and prejudice.

It wasn't very long before I discovered there are "police" on the border between the identity called lesbian and the identity called trans, especially the identity of pre-operative transsexual women.

Unhappy in-laws, lawsuits, tax courts, probate courts, and many other adversarial realities in our world create a pall of threat over every transgender marriage.

God does not say: "I love you only if you keep every letter of my law. If you fail to keep even one part of it, I will no longer love you."

An ally speaks of her transformation... and commitment.
