Where are the #progressiveChristians at? What about the #Exvangelicals? Trying to expand who I read on the ol' toot box

Say hi!

I'm an almost 50 white dude from the Deep South, an ordained Southern Baptist no less, who is working to decolonize my own faith and live out a life Christ would be proud of.

Hi, I'm Ryn (she/they). My dream is to create a cozy space for folks like the coffeeshop my friends gathered at in college.

Who am I?

- I'm an #ElderMillennial, into computers (and, later, the internet) since the early 90s.
- I'm a gamer - both video games and tabletop. Give me anything with a story and/or that I can be creative with.
- I'm a #sapphic #DemiBisexual and a later transitioning #enby, figuring out who I am after being able to unmask during the pandemic.
- I'm undiagnosed, but definitely have some ADHD traits - especially when it comes to starting (and failing to stick with) projects.
- Speaking of projects, I want to start (return to) streaming on #Twitch to create a welcoming community.
- I also want to try my hand at #GameDevelopment (if I can think of any realist project ideas).
- I'm an #AffirmingChristian, but my faith is mostly a matter of personal reflection and transformation.

Just as God creating day and night does not invalidate the existence of dusk or dawn, so God making humanity man and woman does not invalidate the full spectrum of gender.

Here’s how the Bible actually affirms transgender, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people.

I'm Matt Hambrick, Pastor of Costa Mesa First United Methodist Church. I love Jesus and I love people and it makes me a relentlessly open and affirming pastor in Orange County. I'm an existential theology junkie trying not to be a theobro. Søren Kierkegaard is my father in faith. I'm daily seeking to take a leap of faith.

Today is the #TransDayOfRemembrance and it's also #ChristTheKing Sunday. It's worth pointing out on these coinciding days that Christians who don't affirm the right of their trans siblings to live fully as themselves are rejecting God's creation.

If you ever hear someone saying "God only made men and women" or "what's with all these new genders?" blow their mind with this:

We know that there were at least 6 distinct gender categories in classical Jewish texts. And, depending on how you count, there are a total of 8 categories.

Here’s how the Bible actually affirms transgender, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people.
