    When I first saw his parents I was like oh no are they going to be transphobic!? I was SO relieved when I found out his parents were accepting of him! I wish all trans children had accepting parents. That truly makes a difference.

    I go by Eli and this hurt as no one accepts me and my parents are religious nondenominational and they think my whole being is sinful and that I’m going to hell to a point where my mom said I could kill myself. It makes me happy seeing how others are accepted but makes me really sad like what did I do to have the parents I have

      Hey. I’m a Christ-follower. I just wanna let you know that I love you so much (Light hearted way)
      I have no idea who you are but I 100% support you. Because truth is the Bible says to love others as you love yourself. Please don’t be discouraged and know there’s people who truly love and accept you

    • @crow_moriondo
      @crow_moriondo Před 3 měsíci +12

      Gods overarching message is really just to Love Thy Neighbor, so it isn’t a sin. Even if it somehow was, Jesus was also against judging others for their sins (again, being trans is not a sin, this is just a supplementary point) so the logic your parents follow make sense either way. There will always be an online community here for you and your friends as well. You’re valid ❤

      I'm trans and I go by Casper but I'm also a Christian and so are my parents. They've made it clear that they are trans phobic and homophobic so I don't know if we share the same amount of pain but I'm going through something similar. I don't know a lot about you (obviously haha) but I fully support you and I really hope you're safer now or in the future
