Yes I wish Christians could see this as you do. All the Christians I know think transgender is a sin..But in my mind its mainly they are ashamed that there child is one or they go to the church, they are homosexual. Though in my view if a transgender married a male it would be homosexual in Gods eyes..But that's a hard one to say as I don't want to make anyone get upset with me.

@alishabab3 I agree that parents feel a lot of shame about a gender variant child. The important thing is how a person young or old sees themselves. Man looks on the outside, but God looks on the heart. Someone may have been born with a female body, but inside they know they are male. IT's usually the other people around them who are most confused. I hope you meet some trans people and learn about their lives directly from them. That helped me to begin to understand.

Man judges by external appearance but God knows the state of our heart.

Could you name other exemples of gay or transgender people in the Bible? Very interesting!

Thank you so much for this, it brought a tear to my eye. As a trans-woman, I know how happy I am since my transition. I never could see how I was an abomination. Since transition, I don't believe in casual sex because it makes me feel cheap, I don't drink because I don't need it anymore, I love my life sober. I used to be quiet and shy, now I'm always laughing, smiling and I'm incredibly social. Your video restored some faith back into my life, thank you. Please try to spread it.

Thank you. Thank you so much! I am a F t M (female to male) transgender person. I am blown away with your acceptance of people within my community. I am constantly used to being discriminated against because I am myself. We need more Christians like you. We need more accepting people. Because regardless of what anyone thinks I am a human being just like you. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

i love this! religion isn't the problem, rejecting it won't solve our cultural prejudice. Religion can be a really great thing, if we interpret it for a modern world with with new understanding about people and their differences.
