Society expects trans women to be perfect the way they expect all women to be perfect. - Abby Stein

Some religions might have at least a facade of a very anti-LGBT or very non-progressive culture so to speak -- or like you can't be religious and be whatever. I'm telling you from experience that yes you can. You might have to make it work but thankfully we live in a place and in a time when there's a lot of communities with a lot of places that you can find support.

Being trans in some ways is very similar to being an atheist, in that some people don’t grasp it. People that come from different backgrounds just [say], “What do you mean you don’t believe in God?” They don’t get you. To them [religion] is just so obvious, and I feel like I keep on having that with gender, also. Some people just have in their mind very firm ideas of gender, and they just can’t get it into their head.

You’re saying God is all made up, but okay, who cares? People say, “I can’t pray because I feel like I’m talking to myself.” The rabbi would say, “Pray! That’s so good. Go talk to yourself.”
