Scarf_ Announcement Template

So last night, my older brother went on one of another one of his "being straight good, trans bad" rants and he, yet again, tried to force me to be straight. It got to the point where I actually had to LIE to him that I was gonna be straight, JUST so he could leave me be. I'm just so sick of him trying to force his beliefs on me. like, you can be christian AND trans at the same time.

i hate all those christian homophobes just cuz some big STORY BOOK says bs like there are only two genders and being gay is a sin or you cant change your gender they just say we are all sinners and we will go to hell. if so im a sinner and im proud and you should be too

Ikr my mom is like that

yeah because its a sin to be yourself

Also some pastor dude said that being lgbtq is a sin so I threw a shoe at him and ran

lol

I don’t think I’m welcome there anymore

Sheeeeeeeeesh

i am so fuсking sorry bae, i wish i was there to help you

still tho
I'm sick of him constantly saying this BS at me

I really don't want him trying to make be blend in with others in high school

?

I'ma gonna say one last thing and then I wanna stop this from being an argument
Even tho he's trying to be a good brother, he keeps forcing his opinion on me and its making me wanna continue being trans even more

also, I don't really wanna engage in a argument rn

Ok but just think about those verses...

ok

did you read that scripture though

I forgot the words of the Bible sadly
been a while. :cry:

then honestly Google them like I did myself

I will later

you best read what it says and not ghost me

I can just post them here for you

1 Corinthians 7:2

(ESV) But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. (NIV) But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband.

:/

I know now

But to your comment I was literally just showing scarf some stuff bc she said she was Christian

Did you have to ban me

it wasn't me who banned you

I read it
and I understand it

good!

Well, if you are gay and have a boyfriend (and don't do sexual things with him, the most you do is kiss him time from time), it isn't bad, correct?

bro these just changed my views again woah

Dang I thought you were scarf at first lol
wdym

I haven't really taken those words into account

Oh well that's good you saw this 👍

Well that sucks

but it dang well wasnt

you really think that god would let HIS people mistranslate HIS word? NO!

once again, why would he let his people mistranslate his word?

He doesn't. He plagues people who do remember

true

but a mistranslation that bad would be not reasonable

Actually, God desires for us to be fine with the way he made us. He made you the gender you are for a reason. You can’t have a right and true relationship with God WHILE wanting to change your identity (sorry, that was prolly the most confusing way to put that)

Personally, I have a theory about reincarnation and hetero-normality or maybe the patriarchy. A past life could be so harmful that a soul reincarnates as a different sex because it believes it will make this next life better for it. However the soul feels uncomfortable in its new body because it wasn't meant to be the sex that it decided to reincarnate as… thus gender dysphoria and transgenderism.

However, religion is a very personal experience and it is not up to the religious to tell transgender people if they agree with their decisions or not. It's not even our place to spread the word of our religions if the other party doesn't want to hear it. Consent is very important in many aspects of life.

Religion aside, the objective fact is transition whether it is social, physical, or both greatly improves the lives of most transgender people and we should encourage people to do what they need to do to be comfortable enough to live their best lives as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else in the process.

I have nothing to say to that. Except that I disagree with basically everything you said. Especially the part about not telling others about our religion. God made it the job of Christians to make known to the world his gospel and show them the truth about the world. Also, do you actually believe in reincarnation? I personally don’t believe that someone can change their gender. A born male will still have male cells and a born female will still have female cells.

I was raised Christian but after a bunch of soul searching, I've realized polytheism is for me. I'm a polytheistic omnist and the ancient Greek deities are my favorite.

The ancient Greek religion has a few different afterlife areas and reincarnation as part of the belief (it's a bit complex). However, that specific religion aside, I do personally belive in reincarnation wether I consider it with context of that religion or not. Scientifically speaking, energy as we understand it, can't be created or destroyed. If we are made of energy, that further points to an afterlife, reincarnation, or both in my opinion.

The ancient Greeks also have the Delphic Maxims which were allegedly given to the oracle Delphi by the god Apollo. They are a set of over a hundred rules (and proverbs) to follow in order to live a good life. If I were to follow every single one of those to a t, I’d have a lot more expectations of me than you do of yourself as a Christian. You best believe I have taken my knowledge of the expectations and adapted it here and there otherwise it’d be way too much… lol. My point is, it's not my business or responsibility to make sure everyone follows those one hundred and forty-seven rules (and then some) and it's not your place to make sure everyone follows what the Bible says. The earth is a multicultural and multi-religious landscape and we need to respect that.

Other than that, sex/cells/chromosomes are not what transgender people are trying to change. The lgbtq+ stance is there is a difference between sex and gender. Sex is the chromosomes of male, female, and the intersex varieties. Gender is man, woman, nonbinary, etc. Gender can be decided for oneself and changed as needed if it helps someone live a better life. It is not up to anyone else to decide what is right for each transgender person when it comes to what they need to do to live their best lives.

ok

was that meant to be homophobic

Ummm not necessarily

ok
I do understand
but I don't fully follow my religion

ok....
