It is finished. Well, almost finished. I summed up my arguments against trans-sexuality being a sin. Now I want to give an accurate description of your average transsexual because I think society at large doesn't have a clue. I should be done the end of this week and need to edit. Then I need a strong marketing push.
Please, please, please, put away 2.99 for you to buy this the day it comes out and tell others to do the same. I think it is in all our bests interest if this makes the top 10 apologetic list on Amazon.
I want to say that this work has really pushed me. Like no other. It makes me afraid and on so many levels. Because of my sexuality and my gender issues I left the ministry a long, long time ago. Sure I dabbled back into for a short period, but only at completely denying myself which was bound to fail. I know that I am going to be hated by some, probably by most, and I want to be strong for that. I think this is too important to not do. I just hope that I am on God's side on this. I believe I am. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised that there is doubt. Maybe I should expect it. Maybe that is the enemy at work.
As for now, I feel the need to recharge. I am not writing a lot and I know I have Just Friends waiting to finish (2 more posts most likely). I apologize for that, but I just can't do both the same day. Maybe now that I am done with the argument, I can get to it better. Please, for those who pray, my name is Katie.

Sigh.
I don't normally comment on
I don't normally comment on blogs that deal directly with trans issues because I have no experience of them and therefore feel I have no right to voice an opinion, but it breaks my heart to read something like this.
A sin, by any reasonable definition of the word, has to be an action that causes deliberate harm: violence, theft, neglect, verbal or other abuse, betrayal, it's a list that could be very much longer but there has to be a victim at the end of it.
How can someone who makes a genuine attempt to come to terms with their sexuality or their gender identity - a clumsy phrase, but it's the best I can manage at the moment - possibly harm anything but the expectations that other people, with no justification whatsoever, expect them to meet?
You have no reason to feel guilt. You have no reason to apologise. You have no reason to explain your choices to anyone but yourself.
Take care

Katie, you are in my Prayers.
