Good morning @Ivy I hope you have a wonderful time with your meeting and after dinner. My morning started early letting the puppy out to take care of business. While he was doing that I brewed my coffee. Mindy🌈🐛🏳️⚧️🦋 -

Hello & welcome @The Lake. The imagery of this name evokes expansiveness and reflectiveness - a calm lake reflects the entire sky and all surroundings in it. It encompasses all that but is not itself pervaded by it. -

I'll be going up the mountain for my VA support group today. It's a bit of a drive, but worth it for me. Some of the people up there have been eating together with me after the meetings, and it's been really nice to be around other trans folks of both genders. I don't have that around here. -

The full report and debate is available to watch on the Church of Scotland YouTube channel, but it is 50 minutes long, and other than a few uneducated comments from folks with obvious agendas it was overwhelmingly positive. The forum committee is made up of ministers with deliberately wide/opposing doctrinal beliefs so a unanimous statement is rare, as part of the consultation process it gives me hope that there will be a place for me and my voice. "First, building on the Church's existing statements on transgender people, we believe that transgender people should be loved, and respected, and welcomed in our congregations. "It is the foundation of Christian ethics that all people are made in the image of God, and are worthy of our respect and love, and this is true of transgender people also. "Yet second, and based on our exploration of gender in the Bible, the Forum is also unanimous in believing that transgender people should not only be welcomed in our church, but allowed to serve in our Church. "That the Church should not treat transgender people differently from others, but after considering their giftings and callings, should admit them to office if we believe God wills it. "By focussing on the importance of welcome, and the ability of God to use every Christian for service, we believe our report offers the Church a route through a debate that has, at times, become toxic, and allows us to model a better way of engaging with issues of gender. "Because in these days when we as a Church are building for the future, we need to make sure that it is the Lord that is building the house. "That it is the Triune God of Father, Son and Spirit - confessed in our creeds and confessions, yet experienced most fully when we live in love - that is building us up.” -

The whole idea of using law to enforce gender is kind of weird when you think about it. I still don't get why it's so important what some people think (or know) about themselves, and why it matters to anyone else. I don't expect everyone else to put on a dress just because I do it. And then they bring "God" into it - like they know what he/she/them/it knows. -

They do, but it's about keeping their "base" stirred up - not the kids themselves. -

My new therapist is really nice. She asked me about grandma raising me making wedding dresses and cakes as well as raising me to be a "tom boy". My love of sewing, cooking, knitting, etc... She loves my preferred name (Birdie), and that her best friend in school was called Birdie as well. I will be seeing her every month. 😉 -

Well my wife totally understood. I don't really know what would have happened if she didn't. Everyone believes it is bull. The hunt started yesterday, it continues. Hugs, to all Kymmie
