LGBT

Or allowing children with visual impairment to wear glasses?

How are these not "mak[ing] oneself God?"

I have no patience for the "God doesn't make mistakes" line used to oppose gender affirming care. I have friends whose children were born with heart defects, spina bifida, and hare lip. Thankfully, we live at a time in which these can be either corrected or managed - but although their kids are doing just fine, they would apply the term "gift from God" to the medical science and health care professionals that allow them to live healthy lives and not the reasons these were needed in the first place.

The same is true for the transgender people in my life - they're in deep gratitude that they can live as the people they are, and not the people others insist they should be.

I still haven't quite decided whether I left the Catholic Church or if the Catholic Church left me.
