The reality or fantasy of religion is one issue. An entirely separate issue is its moral bankruptcy and assault on the dignity and wellbeing of marginalized populations (ya know, like that little minority called "women." )

We should be celebrating for the latter issue here. As already stated, religion will continue for a long time. That in no way implies we need to toss all our critical thinking skills and drink the Koolaid.

Within the bounds of churches, this is awesome! Yes I'm ready to say f*ck as much as the next guy, but if you're not trans I'm not sure you can truly appreciate what this means. Any validation of our true selves, especially in the realm of , is something we've wanted and waited for for a very time.

I think I feel the same way about liberal churches as the mythic Jesus felt about lukewarm Christians.

Why the hell should we give a shit about what some bible basher has to say?

Sorry about the faulty link. This is the start of the article:

The Church of England has issued new advice about how to help transgender people mark their transition. The guidance recommends the Affirmation of Baptism service is adapted to allow transgender Christians to celebrate their new sexual identity.

The service would see them addressed by their chosen name, not birth name.
It follows pressure at the general synod last year to go further in welcoming the transgender community.
