		<description><![CDATA[Karen, your words of love and understanding with your relatives reach deeply into my own spirit because of the pain I feel in having a brother who has written me out of his life as well.  To my amazement, however, nearly the rest of my family has been somewhat accepting, and at least nonjudgmental, so I&#039;m taking what I can because I know others are less fortunate.

I&#039;ve been down the &quot;Jerry Road&quot; as a born again Christian.  Frankly, something that is very clear in reading Jerry&#039;s account is that he clearly was NOT transsexual, and that this reparative therapy approach he now preaches is misguided.  I&#039;m glad he saw the error of his ways and realized transition was NOT for him.    Jerry&#039;s struggle appears to be more with having same sex attraction than gender dysphoria.  

Being told I&#039;m an abomination disgusts me.  Christ loves us all.  Christ died for us all.  There is neither Jew nor Gentile, slave nor free, MALE nor FEMALE in Christ....I could go on.  But one thing is clear to me more than ever.... GOD LOVES US, it&#039;s those who cast judgment while acting like a Pharisee who don&#039;t.  There is therefore now NO condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.  

Wow, religious freedom.  I hope my &quot;Christian&quot; friends can see what I see!]]></description>
