    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

    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
