(Long post, I get a little long-winded sometimes)
I wanted to apologize for a rant post I made out of the blue that spread misinformation and fear about queerness, particularly trans-ness. I did not intend to be harmful in any way, and honestly, I just wanted some of my questions answered, but I was scared and pent up and did use harsh language. With it being a rant, I just let it out. This is no excuse, but just an explanation for anyone who wants it. I’m sorry for any harm that I caused or hate that I spread.
This post has been gnawing on me for a while. I’ve been praying and thinking, and there’s a lot of complex thoughts I have about trans-ness, but at least simply, I know trans-ness is not inherently wrong. And also, I don’t wanna be transphobic! I’ve been trying to change my thoughts to believe that trans-ness is wrong (long story), but I just look at it and… it’s not harming anyone! Now yes, if God tells you to do something, do it, and if God says that being trans is a sin, then it is. But, I don’t think He’s saying that.
(a bit of a rant here lol I’m sorry)
Now, my friend who’s much smarter than I has been telling me good reasons as to why being trans is a sin (beyond quoting a Bible verse, my friend uses actual logic), which is why I was trying to become transphobic (I know, I know). And I’m not sure I know how to refute those just yet (I suck at arguing). He is also the only person I can talk to about the trans stuff (which, I do want more people I can talk to about it). He has also advised me not to talk to anyone who may support the whole trans thing (this was after I told him I had thoughts about wanting to be a man, and he didn’t want me relapsing into that because the core of that feeling is that I’m scared to be a woman), but I can’t, in good conscience, not talk to the opposing side here. So, I cannot say that I won’t continue struggling with these thoughts, I more than likely will, but I want to ask civil questions instead of lashing out. And, I plan to get a therapist once school starts back.
Through that post though, I got recommended some good articles, and I wanted to share them:

^The things this guy says about the loud, crazy minority being, well, loud, crazy, and the MINORITY of the group made sense to me. I can’t believe I forgot those people don’t represent the whole. They want us to hate each other. Let’s not let them. And remember, God. Loves. You!!!!!!! Okay, cya!
