And it came up with this...
"Being see... is not a matter of ego, 'wokeness,' or forcing one's identity on other people," she said. "It is a matter of basic human dignity."LGBTQ NationBy Molly SprayregenMay 18, 2025A pastor who is also the mother of a trans son explained why visibility is critical to transgender people’s happiness.“Being seen, insisting on visibility, is not a matter of ego, ‘wokeness,’ or forcing one’s identity on other people,” Serena Rice explained in an impassioned essay for Advocate. “It is a matter of basic human dignity. It is the instinctive understanding that being seen for who we are is essential to being valued for who we are.”A desire to be seen for exactly who we are is innate, she explained, comparing the need to be out and proud to a child who breaks out “into a beaming grin” after searching for their parents at the start of an elementary school show.
If you could see a trans child, you would a warm inner glow from finally being their true self.
Trans people, she said, are facing mounting pressure to hide as rightwing forces do everything in their power to demean their identities, and many on the left abandon the fight to help them.But trans people, she said, are “made in the image of God… and their trans image is not a mistake.”“God made them trans on purpose,” she concluded. “They beautifully teach the world about the beauty and power of breaking binary categories that try to hide God’s diverse creativity.”
That is what I have always said, we are here as a test. If I remember my Catechism, Mark 12:31 says this: "‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these." it is in black and white...love your neighbor! it doesn't only if they are straight, or only if the are White, or only if they are Christian. It say "love your neighbor" PEROID.
