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. -

Eventually, (especially if you start T,) things will even out. The excitement you feel is from everything being so new. Finally knowing yourself and having others recognise you can be thrilling. However, because it is your natural state of being, eventually that wears off. There's nothing exciting about it anymore because it's "just you." (Which is a perfect thing to be!) This, however, can lead to disappointment. Trust me when I say however, that that disappointment and jarring reaction to wrong pronouns will go away, and you'll once again feel comfortable in yourself. -

I love long hair. I'm wanting my hair to touch the floor. I guess we shall see how long it can get. -

I wear a wig most of the time. But I can get by with my natural (shoulder length) hair if I wear a hat or something to cover the mostly empty top. Unfortunately that train has left the station, sigh. -

Oddly enough, just this weekend I read some of my poetry at a local event. In this case it was a Pride group so I didn't have a particular advantage. But I have read in more inclusive (of cis people) situations, and been fairly well received. Let's face it, cis people do deserve an equal chance. I suppose this might be a problem in the future.
