GenderLife Forum: The Information Exchange

Over the week of focused self realization and from some assistance of wonderful friends here, I made a very hard decision to enroll into Seminary as a known Transgender MtF.

I have found out that the UCC church is very accepting of GLBT and they even have an entire website devoted just to our cause. I have posted who I am in the UCC forums and so far, to my extreme surprise, have had support and praise.

What really impressed me the most is that UCC has released a documentary that has Calpernia in it. The Video is called "Call me Malcolm." It is about a transgender who went into Seminary as as girl but graduated as a boy.

Here is an excerpt with Malcolm and Calpernia
Go to Clips and pick the third one

I am very uplifted about this. For those who don't know I use to be a Pastor in a fundamentalist church as a way to tried to hide the real me but I was really called to serve in the church. Now, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and can see I do still have a future in my calling where I can be accepted.

Transgender isn't a noun.

Cool,Congratulations Kareal!

thnkas for ponting ot teh grammeer errrr, Vexing; I apreciatee it. I hopee you wnt be too ovrley upst if I laeve my orgnial post as ti is

Thanks, Vanna!

It's an extremely hard decision for me to make because I know when I do this my chance of stealth is gone.

But it's something I need to do!

Vexing, I have the impression that Kareal is trying to tell you she intends to keep using the adjective "transgender" (a horrible word if there ever was one, IMO), as a noun. That could be sort of a vexing situation couldn't it?
LOL

oh well. You know me. A bigot and everything...now that the thread's been hijacked...

Thanks.

I was trying to put my feelings out there and hoping I would get some support on this forum.

Obviously, I was wrong because there has to be those who have to incite everything out of anything.

I'm sick of it.

Take care all. I'm out. I don't deserve this.

Go for it; but if you ever call me 'a transgender' then I'd advise you to make it part of your epitaph

Very 'Christian' of her!

Thanks for the topic hijack. Very nice of you.
