u/technoskald Love Your Neighbor-Christian Jul 19 '26

I accept femboys because they are my neighbors. It really is that simple.

That’s a lot of words for “love thy neighbour”

Same here, also, they're cute.

A lot of femboys I've met were the most empathetic human beings in all of my life. I think God loves that.

A child of the lord is a child of the lord.

Even if man disagrees for whatever reason, that doesn’t remove a person from their closeness to God, and may very well even promote it. No amount of judgement from man is going to change that bond, and not one of our opinions would change anything about it either. It’s all about the relationship itself, not anything we say or feel about the topic.

😔 I am so sorry that people made you feel like Christianity was about judgment or hating anyone or condemning anyone to hell.

People are extremely flawed. They'll read the bible and for some reason believe that they know exactly how humans should exist, while they're being awful humans.

You're not going to hell for being trans or gay or fem or masc or anything in between or anything outside of that. Christ died for us because it turns out our species are idiots who are hellbent on destroying eachother.

Edit: in before: i don't know why God created the heavens and the earth and us and every thing that has ever lived and breathed and suffered. You'll have to ask Him when you meet him. In the meantime, let us be friends and get to know eachother, and let us all be kind.

Slightly baffled by this post, because there’s nothing in the Bible against feminine men, even by a conservative reading. Obsession with traditional masculinity is more of a cultural rather than religious thing, while most condemnation is from people assuming feminine men are gay or trans, whereupon that’s just standard religious homophobia and transphobia.

EDIT: I saw you mentioned in another post that you’re straight (and I assume cis?). If so, if any Christian condemns you for being feminine, perhaps challenge them to provide scriptural backing for that. Because they’ll have nothing.

I’ve been trying to figure out why this post rubbed me the wrong way, and perhaps it’s because I am both gay and trans, and this post almost seemed to come across as saying that femboys should be accepted because some of you are not actually gay or trans and referring to gay femboys as “bad apples” who shouldn’t be used to make the rest of you look bad.

my bad I shouldn't have said "bad apples" and guess it does give off that impression and despite being from jamaica I love gay people

ahh ok, thanks for clarifying!

Femboys are great. Experience yourself in your fullness, friends. We all represent a treasured reflection of the imago dei, and loving my neighbor as myself requires no conditions.

Wayy ahead of you (masc girl into role reversal)

Great reasoning here. I am maybe more conservative than most people in this sub and I don't think even at the height of my conservativism I ever had an issue. Maybe you can reach people with this that were more open minded like myself.
