im not christian, but i have encountered so many transphobic christians that actually hearing someone in a position of authority in their religion actively support trans people makes me feel like maybe there is hope
More leaders in the traditionalist branches/denominations/etc. need to speak out like this. When compassion, kindness and love lead both beliefs and actions, then lives are valued, saved, and cherished. And if that’s not the point, then what is? What righteousness can there ever be in cruelty? Whose pocket does it pick, whose leg does it break to simply be kind? If not now, when?
