I cried so much idek 😩😭 I’m even crying now

[@lackluster_lancer]

Hi, I’m Lance, and I know this comment likely won’t be seen among the thousands of others, but I think the most appropriate place to tell my little story is here. I found this song years ago-I don’t think the exact year it was released, but it was a while ago, I think around 3 or 4 years. I stumbled upon it on Spotify and listened to it on repeat for a while. Every time I listened to it, it made me cry. It *still* makes me cry, even just looking at the song cover, because no song has ever hit me so hard before. My grandma and my mom call our Christian family “a village”. I’m not sure why they do, but they do, and it’s become a nickname for our entire family. I think it’s endearing, but it just makes this song that much more impactful. I’ll never be able to genuinely be my true self among “my village” that I love so much, because they’ll alienate and hate me for it. So, I have to live a life of falseness and discomfort, simply because I can’t bear the thought of losing them and being alone. Aside from their obvious flaws, they really are amazing people-especially my mom-and it breaks my heart *so fucking much* that I’ll never receive the acceptance and encouragement that I wish I’d had from her and the rest of my family since 6th grade. I hate my body, and my personality, and my voice, and it’s all because I have to pretend to be someone I’m not for the rest of my life just for them. It’s so unfair. So fucking unfair. And it’s all because of a belief in a “rule” that may not even be true, and of a god that may not even exist. I’m agnostic myself. Though I’d rather believe in facts and science, I grew up Christian and just can’t seem to shake my old beliefs. I’ll admit, the bible has some truth to it-but I’ve never understood why a “loving god” would damn people to eternal suffering just for *loving.* I’m not sure what else to say, but I appreciate it if you’ve read this far. I hope you all get to live your true lives and have a supportive “village”. Much love to the *good* Christians on this earth and LGBT+ community alike.

[@firetrucksrule07]

I am a Christian and I honestly don't think or feel God would damn someone just for being who they are. As long as you aren't to destroy another life or be judgmental to another I feel God loves you. Also, here's my thoughts, if your blood family can't except who you are or who you want to be screw them. Not trying to be rude. If they can't love you for who you are than go out and make a new family who will. You can find tons of moms who would love you so much, you can make your own family. I don't have family who hates me for who I am, but do have some who are judging and judgmental and want to make me to be like themselves but whatever. I found I could create my own family with non blood friends who in ways I actually love more than a blood relative. I hope someday you can tell your family and show your blood family who you truly are and if they turn their back on you than it's their loss not yours. I know it will suck and hurt for a bit but in time you will feel whole. I am saying this with tons of love and care.

The problem is the song then says there's nothing wrong with you. The fact is something is terribly wrong if you are suffering from dysmorphea and just going along with someone's feelings doesn't address what ever it is that's causing this problem. To many people end up taking their lives even after they've gone through everything such as surgery and transition.

@@Beyond_Beyblade I promise you, whoever told you that was wrong. The Bible never says anything against being queer, but people might take it that way because of their own opinions. If any part of the Bible did, then it would be actually contradicting itself. The Bible says this “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.” It does not say that you cannot love someone of the same gender as you would a marital partner, the keywords are “lie with” and in other translations “have sexual relations with” The Bible says what is has always said, lust is a sin, and we all deal with sin, and that sin can be washed away like sand castles in the ocean. Moral of the story, God loves you no matter what, and will be with you every step of the way no matter what.😁

Must be horrendous for someone so important to you to see who you are and at your most vulnerable and then react with disgust, horror, rage WTF like you just got caught committing some odious crime. Good grief. Your parents need help. If you like Oprah, she did a whole episode with Gary Zukav about why people judge others. It might help you to put this mess in perspective. Your parents have some kind of inner problems. That kind of reaction speaks volumes about their own insecurities, it really isn't about you. You did not deserve any bit of that. What other people think, feel and do is a reflection of them, not you. Take care of yourself. Treat yourself and others with the respect and kindness that your parents were unable for some reason to demonstrate. Wish you the best.

There’s a famous quote that goes “I like your Christ but not your Christians”.. the Bible is and was supposed to be a love story of Jesus who loved us so much he died for us. Whether you believe it or not (and you don’t have to) something that was meant to be the saving grace and hope for so many has been twisted and misinterpreted by so many people who feel as though they are in a position of power to execute their own will on others and use the Bible as the basis of their argument even when hatred was never meant to be the message. Anger was never meant to be the message. The message was love and the message was mercy, that in an imperfect world we can be perfect through love. We aren’t here to judge we are here to love one another. I hate the disparities people latch onto to try to defend and fuel their acts of hate...

Once they found out that I started T without their permission (I was 19 at the time) they didn't want me living with them anymore. I was already in college at the time. And thank god my best friend was looking for a roomate for an apartment. As a way for my dad to say "im sorry for doing this", he's paying my rent too.

actually my mom is excited when any of the lgbtq+ community comes to our church because it means we did a good job--at loving people.

No matter their pronouns, abilities, age, looks, if they/we are neurodivergent or not, it doesn't matter. Jesus loved and still loves everybody. That is what it means to be christian. That is what it means to be in this world. Stick up for others regardless of anything else. It doesn't matter your beliefs, I want you here and you matter to me. I will be here from the day I was born till the day I die and I swear to everything I hold dear I will make sure everybody I come across knows it that EVERYBODY and I mean everybody deserves to be loved and is loved. If by nobody else--then by me.

His friends didn't accept him and he was very sad. He had a bird, the bird escaped. The boy followed him. When they were out town there were so many birds. There was one colorful one. The boy felt happy. I liked that dream. I know no one cares but I just felt like sharing...

Nobody but a trans person will understand the extreme relief and overwhelming feeling of finally getting your hair cut, or finally being able to buy the cloths that make you feel comfortable. Nobody can understand the crushing pain that comes with Dysphoria on a daily basis. For those going through it, im here for you and you will get through it; just keep pushing through. Dont let anybody make you feel like you have to be shoved into a box and conform to their look and vision of you. Its your body, your feelings, your mental health; dont let ignorant people drag you down.

This!! This right here!! Im not trans but i can't imagine the pain of dysphoria and worse, having it on a daily basis, im cis but one time i had gender dysphoria (i think that either my transness was a phase or i was suppressing it wich i doubt) it was a bit moderate and it sucked, it wasn't even daily, just for a day, people shouldn't deny the happiness of another human being just cause they believe that they aren't real, ignorance is terrible.

I myself am a Christian, who is both trans and bisexual. The Bible was not written in english, so they translated it. Everything was fine until 1946, when they ADDED the word homosexuality. It wasn't in there, IT. WAS. ADDED. And the Bible also doesn't say much about trans people (that I know of) The God that I know, is loving, accepting, and makes you just the way you are. Don't be ashamed, shine your true lights, God is alright with you. :] I hope this helped someone.

THANK YOU. i'm also a trans christian who's also aroace and it's so heartwrenching hearing stories of people who muddle the bible to ruin someone's life. nobody deserves to have their love or life taken from them because of some words in an old book that may not even be right.

[@masantahelperkiller7797]

Yahweh is a God of love and mercy, that is what I have always been taught. Honestly, it befuddles me that anyone can claim to be Christian and hate someone for their sexuality or their gender. God will love you, if you believe in Him I mean, no matter what you do. At the end of the day His love is eternal and unconditional. I myself am bisexual, and I really struggled to be able to be comfortable saying that. The journey is different for everyone, and whether if you choose to believe or not is entirely up to each individual. It isn't for anyone to twist His Word.

[@user-sp9gt3yu9l]

yes, this helped me. my mother tells me “it’s the demons, not your actual thoughts” and i just think back to when she told me the same thing, “god made me who i am, and i should love who i am” but then she wants to tell me that who i am isn’t actually who i am.. it’s the demons telling me who i am..
