Hi, Riya and welcome to the forums!! You find lots of veterans here and many of us are in fairly early stages of transitioning. Ask questions, and jump in wherever you feel comfortable adding to the discussion. -

I've been fortunate in growing my hair out. I had a few thinner spots - typical spots - but have been using Hims' hair growth treatment for about 6 months now and it had made a tremendous difference. I'm not sure how long I'll let it grow but I've been thrilled with how it's turning out. Today I'm wearing this olive green high waisted 3/4 balloon sleeve midi dress with white sneakers. I also received these today. Found them on eBay. I've been looking for a pair of brown riding boots but finding them in my size is hard and typically expensive. These were on end of season sale plus they gave me another 10% off so I ended up at about 40% of retail. They fit perfectly (12M). Unfortunately (or fortunately) boot season is over so I'll put them away until Fall. -

A little bit about myself. I am a veteran and college student. I’m here to align myself and to continue to grow. I myself so happen to be a transgender woman. This is as far as I have made it in transitioning. Looking forward to the future! -

We should submit all of the poetry from this site's Poetry Forum and see what they think of all that good stuff! I'd love to frame their rejection letter. Carolyn Marie -

Your brother is the person who has decided that "sin" is involved because he has lost control of a part of his life by you taking on your authentic self. It is not because you have committed any Sin per se, but because he is no longer controlling your life, evangelicism or other wise. He is using formula words and ideas hoping to re-gain that control over you. Your Roman Catholicism vs. his choices of religion would be enough to do it in many many cases. Your being Trans is just one more area of his losing his control. If your brother were also Roman Catholic, I suspect he would be the same way about you on just the Trans issue itself no matter what your priests would tell him -- he has lost control of your life and is afraid he has lost control of his life. Family members of any religion who fear loss of control will often cite scriptures they believe support their Position. If Bible verses are needed, Matthew. 10:34-8 which speaks of division in families over religion would be a casual point directed at your brother's control issues. -

This might help. These are the grace and lace letters dealing with Christianity and transgenderism from someone who struggled with the "conflict". https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/catalog?f[collection_name_ssim][]=Grace+and+Lace+Letter&sort=dta_sortable_date_dtsi+asc%2C+title_primary_ssort+asc -

Back again love conquers all I don’t think my wife and kids would hold me hostage but if I explain it right to them it might prove how much I’ve lived them over many years -

I am an evangelical I am also transgender. This is an issue. I have read up on it. I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading. One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender. Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself. Which is, practically, impossible. I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work. In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own. That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are, in the words of a glorious hymn, 1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. 4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ. We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him. Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works. That is strong but true. Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it. Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.
