"For trans Christians ...
who are called to ministry,
the call to recognize your own identity can feel eerily similar
...Some of us choose to be authentic and choose to be real,
and choose to follow our call,
either as it relates to the church or to our gender identity...its
like Moses. Even if we didn't want to follow, we have no choice.
The call in our souls is just that loud.
I'm listening to the call of God in my life,
and I'm going to follow that call wherever it leads me,
even if that leads me to death"
