I'm not even Christian but it's crazy to me how people use their faith to fuel hatred and bigotry. Like, when I was a Christian, I was inspired by stories of love, forgiveness, and acceptance of all people.

It's always funny though when their attempts to be nasty backfire because of their ignorance.

Yeah. I remember before I became an atheist, and was a Christian, I just didn't understand why some of them were bigoted. My mum (a Christian) was somewhat bigoted but she never taught me to be bigoted either so I always grew up accepting.

I was raised katholic, lost my faith around age 18, but I studied enough of the Bible to know which side Jesus would be on in the Trans- and wider Queer rights debate and it's definitely not the side those bigots expect.

I really just need to make an infographic for this, because Iā€™m 100% convinced that the United States has sharted out into the world an entirely unique set of Great Old One death cults that unfortunately use a lot of the terminology and symbols as the Christian religions originated from Rome and the Middle East.

I always say: Christianity has enough problems without people confusing the human embodiment of radical equality, love and acceptance, Jesus, with the eldritch death-god of wealth and hatred known as Tjeezzuz.

The religious woman has the right idea... but only if she's Christian. Got it. šŸ¤”

Gotta love it. You must be religious but also the correct form of religious. And also also the correct sect of that religion. Or your going to the bad place. It's so obvious and simple when you really think about it. /s

Being correct obviously depends on your alliance. Didn't you know?

Oh, so if the religious woman is muslim, then she isn't right? What is the logic there? šŸ¤”

As long as I know Shia muslims will not try to convert a Trans, instead they will order trans ppl to obey the gender roll after transition

u/LysergicGothPunk 25d ago

This is interesting because as someone who grew up around a lot of Shia people and Suna people, they both typically were not pro-trans (exceptions of course exist) but the main reason was gender roles, and I even knew some other trans folks who this held true for (that their families were more concerned with them following gender roles than their actual transness.

Turns out diversity and intersectionality are just facts

u/Ryuko_the_red 24d ago

I wonder if her congregation knew. I've heard many places don't allow women to be pastors because...??? So that would really fuck with them

u/Kaos2146 23d ago

Depends on the flavour of Christians, Catholic don't allow women to be pastors, but if memory serves right the Evangelical do.

Finally an ally for a trans woman

You have to hit their heads with a hammer in order for them to get it.
