I see the post below, and then I look at this image, and I wonder if I am going mad.

Quislings (collaborators) never win.

ADVOCATE
She revealed that at a recent visit to Mar-A-Lago, she wrote a letter to the president, asking for his personal help with a problem plaguing many trans Americans right now: the loss of their authentic gender marker on their identification.
"Now we're going too far to the right, you know, with gender markers," she said. Jenner revealed that when she renewed her passport, it came back with an M for
"male."
"What do I do? I can't travel internationally anymore," said Jenner. She said so far, Trump has not responded to her letter, and she's chosen not to call him.

#2 Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland By Christopher R. Browning www.harpercollins.com/products/ord...

This book is a chilling account of how a German reserve police battalion in Poland in World War 2 went from so-called ordinary men to mass murderers, mostly of Polish Jews, one step at a time. It's a brutal read, killing after killing after killing. Two things: Men who resisted immediately usually avoided killing later and usually weren't punished. Second, I need to note that the author leans a lot on Milgram's experiments and the Stanford Prison experiments, but does not in his "25 Years Later" afterword address the criticisms of those experiments that have come to light over the years. Still, Browning does a good job of showing how there were multiple influences that caused most of the men to do the unthinkable.

I transitioned as an adult. If I could do it, you can do it too. Trans care is lifesaving health care. And I am in seminary, too, so I don't want to hear how God disapproves of me.

4/4

But here's the good news. We are not alone in these times. Jesus is right there beside us, all of us, transgender and cisgender, giving us strength, courage, and peace. He is giving us wisdom. He says not a hair of our heads will perish – and by this, he means that we will have eternal life. We will gain our souls when we endure. So have courage! Stand up for what’s right and don’t be afraid!

As Paul wrote to the fledgling Christian community in Rome, who themselves were facing persecution, that “we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.”

In Hope and Love, Karlie ❤️

And the one that hits hardest is, “How can you call yourself a Christian when you are deliberately defying God?” 3/4

Indeed, I was almost one of the names on this list this year, as my friend @celestefinally reminded me. These images are a celebration that I'm alive.

Of course, it's Black trans women that are murdered in the greatest numbers, but we all take our lives in our hands when we leave our front door in the morning. We know we may not return home alive that night. For us, persecution can be a daily reality, although it's not because we follow Jesus. It is because of the words of those that I think Jesus would consider false prophets, those who claim to follow him but persecute the innocent. They may say,

“God doesn’t make mistakes.”
“You’re not a real woman (or man)”
“There’s no such thing as a non-binary person. God made two genders, says so in Genesis!”
“The Bible clearly states in Leviticus that for a man to wear women’s clothing is an abomination before the Lord!”
And of course, “If I see you in the bathroom with my little girl, I’m going to get my shotgun.”

These have all been said to me.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. It is a day when we in the trans community remember those who have been murdered or committed suicide in the last year. We read their names, so that they won’t be forgotten. For many of us, it is an emotional day. We know that it could have been us. 1/?
