I suspect quite a few Christians would be very surprised to discover there
are numbers of transgendered folk amongst themselves-- male and female,
young and old --who don't need evangelizing just as there are numbers of
other "sinners" who no longer do.
● 1Cor 6:9-11 . . Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the
kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor
idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor
thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will
inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you
were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
The prejudice against transgendered folk is so rampant that it's difficult for
them to find a church where they can get a sense of belonging. Personally, I
classify them as Christians with special needs; and very few mature
believers are willing and/or qualified to provide those needs; choosing
instead to write them off as incorrigible scraps.
Something else to take into consideration is de-transgendering. Many have
realized they've made a dreadful mistake and are taking that route; which is
not entirely possible for some. Those who've gone all-in with radical
surgeries are now in a fix that only a full blown resurrection can repair with
any realistic expectation of achieving 100% success.
They are not alone. Quite a few Christians out there are earnestly longing for
the day when they'll be released from their handicaps and restored to full
function. For some; just getting up on their own two feet will be a blessing of joy
nigh unto impossible to describe.
