Thanks! I was taught and believe that truth about oneself and ipso facto acceptance of oneself is not only healthy but also helpful to others.
Not only do we need a theology of sexuality but of humanness in all that implies.
When folks are "passing"
because of all types of fear-those that interconnect with them are also or may also be put in situations that do not bear witness to love but to lies and invisible harm.
Hidden disability doesn't help either.Most folks are not empaths or toothsayers and even when truth is  open and blowing  words can get in the way.
After a relative lost their vision-  at first I would say "See you" and then cringe on the ride home.
How much better it would be  for the church and the world to be open to a parent's
arms that hold one in unconditional love knowing it's a messy muddy world of God.
