Amber, I'm glad you found a spot to put all your thoughts and feelings down. It always helps to articulate them.
Sounds like things are rocky with you and your wife right now. I hope y'all can work things out, but don't be afraid to move on if the need arises. You have to let yourself bloom into the woman you are, or you will starve yourself of blossoming.
I'm curious what an owl party is. I've never heard the term.
I'm from a very Christian culture and upbringing, despite renouncing the faith at the ripe old age of nine. I still go to church every Sunday to socialize. Even though the denomination I was raised in is one of the better ones in terms of acceptance (United Methodist), it still didn't spare me from religious trauma and internalized ideas that I'm still working though. Not saying it's Christianity by itself, but the flavor that's been used for fundementalist christofacism in the US has been a lot of deconstruct for me.
It's funny, I've met some of the worst people in the world who are Christians, and some of the sweetest, most genuine people who are Christians too. Don't let anyone twist your faith to where you lose sight of loving your neighbor. I'm glad you have found some answers in your faith. I wish you all the best in your journey. Listen to your heart.
If God does indeed exist, they created you to be fearfully and wonderfully made.
"For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude." Timothy 4:4
"Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she smiles at the future." Proverbs 21:35
"Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you." Phillipians 3:15
It's a Superb Owl Party. This Sunday at 6:30 PM Eastern time. Eating wings and cheering for the red team.
My wife and I are going to make it, I wasn't expecting to get to transition ever, so her being ok with me going all the way to femboy is a great start and huge strides in a new direction. We are talking through this like adults, we love each other, and we are determined to make this work.
Thanks for the affirmation, most people seem to think that LGBT and Christianity should be at war with each other, so being both is a whole different challenge.
Gotcha. Hope ya get some tasty wings and KC wins.
Glad y'all are gonna make it. It takes longer for some than others to accept and embrace, but I'm sure it'll be worth the wait. You got this.
The Bible is a radical book, and yet it seems that the people in power like to use it to enforce the status quo. Not too long ago they were using cherry picked verses to justify segregation and slavery. Your personal relationship with God is far greater than that of a temporary political agenda.
