Understanding Transgender
Transgender is an umbrella term for people whose gender identity or gender expression differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. Transgender people may identify as male, female, non-binary, or another gender. They may also express their gender in ways that are different from the traditional expectations for their assigned sex at birth.
Being transgender is not a mental illness. It is a natural variation of human experience. Transgender people do not choose to be transgender. They are simply born that way.

Nowhere in the Bible does it explicitly mention transgender people. However, there are many passages that speak to the importance of love, acceptance, and compassion. These passages remind us that we are all created in the image of God and that we are all loved by Him.
I believe that God created transgender people as part of His diverse and beautiful creation. I believe that transgender people are loved and accepted by God, just as they are. I believe that we should all strive to love and accept transgender people, just as Jesus would.
