Loving transgender people like Caitlyn

                Caitlyn Jenner is the biggest news of the month. A lot of people are confused by the lifestyle. According to Wikipedia transgender is the state of one's gender identity or gender expression not matching one's assigned sex. Transgender is independent of sexual orientation; transgender people may identify as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, asexual, etc. So basically Caitlyn was born a boy (Bruce) but felt like he identified as a woman (Caitlyn). So they change their sex legally and physically.

               What I think trips people up is not knowing what transgender is. I've even had  a tough time understanding what it is, I thought it was them saying that God made a mistake. In reality I believe it's because it's a identity issue. We all identify as male or female because of hormones, it's the same with transgender.

                If a transgender person opens up to you about their journey it's because they trust you and they believe you won't judge them. So the best thing you can do is to listen without judgment. I think we judge what we don't know or don't understand.

              I may post more as more comes to me but this was just what was on my heart to share right now. I saw way too much hate out there!

The Duggar controversy

                     I wanted to wait to talk about the Duggar controversy until I knew how I felt about it I also didn't want to have anything I say on here to hurt the family or anyone else who may have been a victim of molestation or anything similar. So for those who don't know the Duggars are a family of 19 kids and 6 grand kids and they also are known for not being able to touch during courtship or dating.  So my thoughts are kind of mixed. On the one hand part of me thinks they it was a long time coming that there is going to be something wrong like they were too perfect and there's some crack that was waiting to show. No family is perfect. Also no family has a bunch of kids and not have one that is bad or that is it going to be sexually deviant or anything like that.
 
                      My problem with the Duggars is that they don't allow their kids to touch while dating they don't  want them to hug, hold hands and not kiss or anything until at least engagement. In this day in age is really unrealistic not because porn is more prevalent but because sex is more openly discussed. Even though I'm not experienced in that I do know that I wonder what does he like what does it feel like. They may have friends who have had sex already and siblings that had sex already. They may wonder what it feel like what is like and so they're going to  they're want to experiment with people and that's totally natural but the problem is  that their parents think  sex is bad you know and they need to realize that they shouldn't shame sex and they shouldn't not discuss sex.
 
                  I take offense to the fact that this family disgraces sex and then is hurt when sex is an issue with a child of theirs. I'm hurt for the victims and I'm ashamed of a "Christian guy" has done something so disgusting to young girls. What's even more disgusting and disturbing is that Josh touched his sisters. I could see touching someone else but your sisters GROSS!!!
 
 
Please tell me what you guys think!!!

Churches turn the blind eye to the industry

              I don't know why more people don't want to go on the outreaches with me. I just think people are scared that theres something wrong with going into sex crazed places. Or they just don't feel like trekking to Atlanta.  But how much of the Christian journey is about what we WANT to do or what we FEEL like doing?
                
                It's also about love and not judgment. But a lot of people are telling me that Jesus couldn't possibly love the people who work in the adult entertainment industry. They probably also don't understand the industry. Just because you don't understand why people do the things they do doesn't mean you should judge them.

             Some of theses girls may be rough or tough but peel those tough and rough edges away and they're like all of us they need to be loved and accepted. to feel like they belong. When I hug these girls I feel like I'm loved and accepted so shouldn't they feel the same with us Christians?
