any other trans catholics or trans christians here?I am MTF and i began transitioning at 19, and am 23 now. I have been on hrt for almost 4 years. I have been attending mass for a few weeks now and am planning on going through OCIA to become apart of the church.I pass fairly well so i don't think I will run into any roadblocks, however them seeing my legal name might be a problem.I understand the church officially is against trans folks and stuff but they don't have to find out. my relationship with christ is more important and the matter of my gender identity is between me and the lord.many trans women live very sinful lives, with premarital sex and same gender relationships, etc etc, so it feels strange being one of the few who isn't.God bless you all.
>>42312784Hello, I am a boymoder and I go to a PECUSA parish.
>>42312784Why would you not change your name before converting? Especially if you've transitioned for 4 years. Does your country not allow it?
>>42312784try latin mass, you get to where a veil to assist your passing.
>>42312784>my relationship with Christ>between me and the LordAre you sure Protestantism isn't more your speed?
>>42312784I'm Orthodox and trans. It is probably not easy, you'll have to content with the world. Be strong and remember what Christ says about the world, don't let the world destroy your faith. That said if you are in the US it's going to be a challenge I would imagine. From what I have heard it is much less simple than here in Europe. Otherwise speak to your church leader whoever that may be about your concerns.I'm happy that you put your relationship with Christ above the world and I pray you find community who will love you without judgement. God bless you.
