I didn’t understand why they thought my gender and my identity in Christ were mutually exclusive, especially when they didn’t say the same to all the cis people happily identifying with their various genders. Now I know that actually the opposite is true: my transness is part of my identity in Christ, because it is one of the things God has called me into.
