Luthien Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Thank you Spath and hyper for putting all this transgender information on this board. I've always had a boggled view on transgenders as people who were sick mentally and just plain weird. Im so grateful you wonderful people came and spoke out against this kind of predjudice. Godbless you both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tink Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 ah, that's where my view came from. Basically, I was saying that I understand why the Church wouldn't allow this, because I didn't think sexual reassignment surgeries were needed. But I certainly and most definitely understand her struggle. My prayers with you always! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cathurian Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Now you all make me want to be louder about this. I was actually sort of afraid to post because I thought people would ask me what gender I was eventually and I wouldn't know what to say. You people rock.

[/quote] The document seemed to indicate that I'm not mentally stable enough to join a religious order. I really feel called to it. Discussion ensued. Edit: Seeing as this document isn't a definitive policy I've decided that rather than lamenting and assuming, I'm going to talk to some heads of religious orders in my area and find out for certain.
