Yes, Jesus reminds me of myself.
People do not sign up to live a life of despair and daily struggle. People want to be content and joyful.
We know the story of homosexuals and the way in which they have been maligned and alienated throughout history, until very recently. When I started posting here, posters threw stones at the idea of gay marriage. Now, no one bats an eye at the idea.
I couldn't imagine waking up each day, equipped as man, but knowing I was a female in every other way, or vice versa. There were high rates of suicide amongst such people. All that is changing as transgender folks are increasingly accepted and treated with basic dignity.
We should celebrate their journey and conquests. Not an easy road.
