Transgender: Understanding Yourself What does “transgender” mean? Does God love me? How does the Church define gender? What is the Church’s position on transitioning? Do I belong as a member of the Church? How can I participate in the Church? If I have already transitioned, am I welcome at church? How can I contribute to the Lord’s kingdom? How do I talk with someone if I feel my inner sense of gender does not align with my biological sex at birth? If I’m faithful enough, will my feelings of gender incongruence go away? Does the Savior really understand what I’m going through? Who am I? Are God’s promised blessings available to me? What should I do if I am depressed or anxious or have suicidal thoughts?
