Katie have you got a couple of hours?.

I had the afliction of being born a Catholic! The pope and the Church just loves me.

The problem is with "all" religions is that unless you happen to be transgendered the religion itself hates you. By that I mean if a person through no fault of their own is transgendered their religion will turn their back on them if or when they come out.

It happens in all religions not just the one inflicted on me .

Over the years I have spoken to trans people from various religions . The muslim one I found to be the most anti-trans . One girl told me if her family found out her life would be ended (common term murder) For what reason? being themselves. How can they call that love????.

If this so called God made us all , and so I keep being told loves us all then why the hate towards us from religion?.

This government recognises me as female! Yet if I ever wanted to get married then to my religion I am a nothing , never welcome in their church. Not that I am going to get married or enter a church it is just the hypocritical way they work.

In the past I have always given to the salvation army (not a religion) but after hearing an interview on radio where a salvation army head said "All gays and transexuals should be put to death" I have now seen a side of that organisation I now dispise. If they ever asked me for money on the street I would get some out give it to the first person who walks past whom I think needs it more than me. I would then say "There you go thats helping someone" not preaching murder or inciting hate.

I cannot put my own personal experiences here about what catholic adults done to me as a 12 year old after revealing my true gender but I will be happy to mail it to you when you get round to catholics.

Take care .

Julia It appears that your experience of Catholics and attitudes of Catholics is that current 40 years ago. I do not want to get into any argument about religion, but disagree with you entirely. In Sydney there is a Mass every Sunday for people such as us and the gay community.

Hi Joanna.
I would not argue with you I respect your opinions because you are not attempting to force them on me.
Also Katie did not put this here to argue about she posed a question.

I stick by my response and nothing or no person will change it because it is my real experiences . As for 40 years ago! The catholic religion has not changed and it never will .

The pope "spokesman" for the Catholic religion openly said not so long ago "Gay and Transexual people do not deserve a life" They were his words. What gives him the right to say who gets to live or die His so called God?

No his narrow mind.

Julia.

Hi Katie

 

Are you making a request for articles to be posted to this forum?

 

I have an MA in Catholic Theology, completed recently over the last six years.

 

There are a number of approaches a person could take if they were to make a formal expose from the position of transgendered persons in Christianity.

 

I would certainly consider being of service. lol

Hi Joanne

 

It seems that you are having more success than we had in Brisbane recently.

Personally, I just go to regular mass.

I don't really think its a big deal.

Chalice! .

 

You are in no position to comment on this. You openly admit you live your life as a male so therefore have no real experience of the hate towards transgender people from the church. You have also openly admitted it is your excuse for not posting a real image of yourself 

 

Try walking your church as a woman then come back and post your results.

I have never been to Mass there as I live in the bush (a real redneck area) but as you can see from my profile am a practising Catholic.

Julia No comment but I am satisfied with my transitioning although pre op. Unfortunately age is against the final step.
