Vent: Turns out that my parents have been reading books on transgender issues from a"biblical" perspective and ignoring everything I've ever lent or sent their way. (lemmy.zip)

Fuck Evangelicalism. Fucking hate the way it destroyed my childhood and continues to poison my family.

I'm sick and tired of the way they continue to ignore my transition even two years in. I don't know if I can continue to be in contact with them anymore and it breaks my heart. I don't know if I can deal with another goddamn holiday season of Christian bullshit.

Fucking hate that my dad is a pastor. Took so much shit away from me because of a mass delusion.

based on my experience with these sorts of traditional religious folks, one is more likely to be excommunicated (or otherwise shunned out of the community) for telling people to love their neighbor. granted, there is some regional variation, and some denominations are better than others (e.g. from what i've heard the lutherans have a relativelty decent-ish track record?) but by and large i'd say your experience is the exception rather than the rule
