I just wish it was practised that way more often, then Christianity would have a better name and be more approachable for some (e.g. me.) :) Jason Gerard wrote: In my city, there is a Metro Church, that is, a church for gays and lesbians. I agree again. To me you are either a Christian or not. You cannot be a Christian but say you disagree with what the Bible says on certain matter. To this end I am not a Christian. I think there is a lot of good in what your religion says, but there are bits I dislike and do not agree with. So in no way can I claim I am a Christian (I am not working towards agreeing either so no repenting here.) Sorry Anna (if you are reading) but whether you like it or not you cannot be a Christian and do what you are doing willingly. I support what you are doing, but then you need to realise you cannot say you are a Christian. Why do you even want to be a Christian when it is so opposed to what you are doing? Hell, aren't you very conflicted? Praying one moment and changing the next? You said so yourself: Be yourself. Being a Christian is not being yourself then. Also isn't one of the "rules" of Christianity that God comes first, above everything else? Nothing supersedes him, not even physical/mental reality. And I am also sure Anna does not want to, or should, repent what she is doing.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone at CP who's been so supportive of me over the last year. I know there were a couple of people who were sceptical about me at the outset (I've even been accused of being that worm B**l S****o a couple of times! :omg: ) but that aside the reaction I've had (both in forum messages and emails) has been heartwarming. :rose: I'm now only two months away from changing role publicly, and to be honest I'm getting very tired of hiding who I am. I feel it's time to let you know me a bit better than you can through just the little bit of me you see in the forums. Before doing so I should say that I'm not completely "out" at work yet (although my immediate colleagues and the company are aware of the situation) so I would ask for discretion. Once the formal announcement is made at work (which I expect to happen sometime in December), I'll close off this account and switch back to my other one (renamed of course!). I'll also update my articles to change the name on them. The whole story of who I am and how I came to be in this position is on my website - www.annasplace.me.uk[^]. If you have a look I hope you find it interesting. I'm glad to call you all my friends. :love: Anna :rose: "Be yourself - not what others think you should be"
- Marcia GraeschThe best of luck for you. This is a controversial issue , many people don't quite agree with changing sex , but since I have a notion of liberal Christiany and democracy and IMHO if people feel bad about themselfs, I think they SHOULD have the right to do what you will do. This IMHO fair game. If I wanted to change my hair style of my style dressing or whatever I wanted to change , I'ld do it. Now this could be seen by conservative members of any Religion as devil thing to do. I strongly disagree. In that view the only pure human beeing is MAN , because woman was made of Adam's rib according to the Christian Bible. So woman in this regard isn't natural also... I don't agree with the vision of the Black/White dictomy , the GOD right's/wrong that many religions teach ... Religion must evolve , must accomodate new situations like yours. For instance , Catholic Church shoud accept Woman to become priests. It's pretty damn hypocritical that many religious people that I know , and that follow God's commandments , are scum , are far worser than many agnostic people that are much more faithful, loyal, sincere, reliable, genuine, and that are truly carrying GOD main ideas like love and respect for the next, that the religious ones. How many times I assisted on fight for leadership, internnal wars between priests and main catechists ,wars between youth catholic groups ... I gave catechesis during 4 years , on 2 of these years I had a great friend of mine , a science geek , that was worser than myself, always thinking in a different space/time , always on the moon . Now that guy was always critized , others catechists liked to play fun of he, the sames that on the front liked to talk with him ... That was a shock to me , these bastards were worser than my agnostic friends ... my friends when don't like a person, are sincere, these guys were lyers and hypocrites ... Now my friend have a degree on Nutrition ,gives consultations on a Medical Centre , was a active member during the same nº of years on the RED CROSS , many times he didn't slept (days in row) , with the classes and the his unpayed work on the RED CROSS , of course he don't give catechesis anymore, simply because some people don't deserve it. He is much better than the guys that were always making fun of him , and he have a better job to. I liked to see now their faces. As I respect your idea, you should also respect others that don't agree with you. It's a matter of life. Perhaps with the passing of the years, people wouldn't feel so s

"The folly of man is that he dreams of what he can never achieve rather than dream of what he can."
I'm proud to be intollerant. That means that I stand up for what I believe. Are you intollerant of my intollerance? You hypocrite!! ;P I accept other religions. I accept other political ideas. I don't accept that a woman can actually be trapped in a man's body. I don't accept that homosexuality is not a mental disorder. Can you respect what I believe?

Paul, sorry but I cannot see what you mean by 'dishonour'. This isn't about prancing about like a drag queen, just someone who wants to get on with their life. How does that dishonour others ? To that point I would mention that Anna has been asked to go out again with girls from work. Surely they are in the best position to judge that ? Also, what do you mean by a "falseful" smile ? Surely the falseful smile would be pretending to be someone you aren't ? Elaine Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?

Jason Gerard wrote: What bits? I know you are curious about Christianity Well first off I am curious about a lot of things, including other religions.

If he told me why and I agreed with his logic then yes I would change. Suprisingly, I don't find that hard to believe. Such was the case when Jesus walked on the earth and performed miracles. However, in your view, you have to agree with it to make it right or wrong. That is moral relativism. What if my logic said that it was ok to rape, or murder, or have sex with a 5 year old child? Would that make it ok? As a philosopher once said, "Without God, everything is permissible." Paul Watson wrote: and if no god accepts me for that, then I say the gods are at fault not me. If your boss tell you to have X module finished by Friday and you don't do it and get fired, is that his fault, or yours? You have to believe in an objective truth if you are to have any morals at all. What one person thinks is right, another thinks is wrong. With this system, everything is permissible. It's ok for you to steal my car, it's ok for me to kill your mother. If you believe killing is wrong, but do not believe in God, then why is killing wrong?
