How do you deal with faith and gender identity?
I am a closeted trans person, who was raised in a religious household, and I love religion (all of them too be honest) and for me my culture plays a big part in my faith, but I don't know how to deal with it, and how can I follow and put my faith in my culture/religion when it doesn't accept me? I want to ask if you are religious or have faith how do you deal with it?
UPDATE: I have come out to most people in my life,(I have been out as bisexual for 8 years)and to those who matter but not to those won't affect my stability. I've seen all of the amazing stories and parts of yourself you have shared and want to say thank you. I believe your faith, is exactly that, it's personal and only personal to you, and what i was struggling with was, will my relationship with my faith be disrupted by my identity but after reading all about you, I understand why should it? I am now going out of my way to explore faith and find one, that is comfortable for me, I am aware I don't faith but I think it is as part of MY identity as much as my gender.So anymore ideas are also welcome thanks everyone. I would like to also add, for any queer person to read, faith and religion is choice you being you isn't.
