Dit is een opiniestuk in @Trouw door hoogleraar Mariecke van den Berg: “Christenen horen trans personen juist te accepteren”. Over de Bijbelse en kerkhistorische onderbouwing daarvan geef ik volgende maand een leerhuis, als opmaat tot onze voorstelling van 'BARE - A Pop Opera':

Some situations are, to put it bluntly, just shit to deal with. Loving someone and going through it with them means acknowledging that you don't have the answers or the key to the issue they're facing. It means being helpless and suffering it with them without being "wise" or pious about "what they need to do". That's the hardest thing. Accepting you don't know and can't fix it. Hurting with them. I hate it. But sometimes it's all you have. And if you love someone sometimes it's all you can do.
