we're not talking about the same

I'm not talking about the power Christianity has over us - I agree, it's weak at best.

I'm talking about how Christianity has formed a narrative against us.

Christianity has become one of the primary ethical and rhetorical frameworks used to justify anti-trans violence and bigotry

If alienation was a strategy that worked - we would have had world peace by now.

This right here is my life everyday! Itโ€™s brutal to have to be grateful to allies who are still transphobic.

Itโ€™s a mental model - not an action!

It is entirely possible to support trans rights generally and in very important and significant ways (job security, access to transition care*, housing non-discrimination, etc...) while still working from an essentially transphobic paradigm.

I've received so many death and bomb threats, I have a folder in my email for them. But I'm told by the New York Times that my criticism of antitrans people is the real sin.

This purposeful decontexualization of the violence and threats trans people face is to mask barbarism in a plea for civility.

just a reminder:
there are christians who identify as queer! how you deal with that is the difference between you being an a#@hole or not.

Queerness is not just our sexuality

Itโ€™s our worldview

And if you ask me, itโ€™s a darn attractive worldview that can help a lot of non queer folks embrace uncertainty as something beautiful!

But Google this:
Vox Spain, Lesbian moms Italy, Orban (as always), Nate Hochman.

But also: the Pope Trans, Peru same sex, UMC.

And Iโ€™m writing a book!

Hmmm, maybe start with Jules-Gill Peterson and Carolyn Bronstein?

Do you have access to academic databases?

What are you trying to discover?
