    Why would you even want to be in a group that hates you.

      Hold a gun to someone’s head and they’ll do pretty much anything you say because they believe their life depends on it.

      Morman’s preach that your eternal life depends on being part of their group. So for a transgender person who’s been brainwashed by the church, it’s like having a gun to your head. They don’t want to be in a group that hates them, but they’re afraid “god” will kill them of they leave the group.

      They live in terror of being excommunicated (kicked out of the church) because they’ve been convinced that is equivalent to death. The amount of power that gives church leaders over the lives of the followers is staggering, and of course ridiculously abused.

        Right but if you buy into that belief structure god is going to punish you anyway even if you do everything else right.

    Isn’t it really depressing that this isn’t a surprise at all? That everyone is just “Well obviously.”

    In other news water is wet.

    Every religion that ostracizes LGBT people should be ostracized.
