"I'm a trans man (ftm) and feel called to the Church" : (non)christians of reddit AFFIRM trans is VALID in the eyes of God

There's a place for you in the Church, of course, as God made you.

God made you trans sweety

There's a place for all God's people. We should want everyone no matter their past/history in the church seeking God. The most important thing for you will be to find a priest you're comfortable with. I don't think any of them will affirm transgenderism, but they shouldn't treat you with disgust or disdain. You might find people who aren't pleasant to be around. The church is full of sinners who don't live up to God's glory. Do you have a few Eastern Orthodox parishes to choose from in your area? If so, I would visit them until you find one you're comfortable with.

surround yourself with ONLY yes-men

The church is a hospital to the soul for all people. I can't say you won't meet some resistance, but they are sinners the same as everyone else. Both in this subreddit and in my local parish, there is compassion for people with gender dysphoria and the mental suffering it brings. You may be interested in reading about St. Marina the Monk who lived most of her life as a man. There's also Vuk Adžić, a trans man who was baptized a few years ago in Montenegro. It's also not rare for women to take male patron saints.

Of course its all mutts. I wonder if any of them are even actually orthodox in reality.

The actual orthodox churches are basically giga-chudded because theyre mostly in slavigger countries or slavigger-adjacent shitholes like armenia. I guess greeks are the closest to an exception, but i expect even their church is probably super chudded compared to reddit ideas of contrism.

We prefer the term "based", actually.

In my experience Greek Orthodoxes (in the USA) are like "LALALA MY CHURCH IS SO PROGRESSIVE/BASED...I CAN'T HEAR YOU"

like they have cringe statue pfp RTVRN types on the same pew as some old lady who is like "trans kids should be allowed to play sports" and they try to ignore eachother and live up their materialist fantasy that God is in their building because it's pretty enough

Do orthodoxoids really? I know Catholics like making pretty churches but that's bc they look good, do the Orthdox really believe that if their church looks shitty God will say "darn b-word clean up your crib" and walk out?
