Exactly. The alcoholic cheater who sometimes hits his wife is a fun guy to them, a good Christian who's trying his best. But a trans woman who spends Friday night driving around to pick up food for food not bombs needs to repent and live as Jesus said.
I'm not pretending Christianity is amazing, I'm an apostate for a reason, but I'll say this: I'm still a better Christian than a large portion of Christians I know despite the apostacy and the paganism.
Well, being trans means you believe god made a mistake when creating your body! An opinion held by many Christians wearing corrective eyeware.

Isn't God infallible? So, how did he fuck you up the first time? Gotta take a mulligan? Sounds legit.
That's fair. One formative experience i had was seeing my childhood church have many parishioners reject our priest. He was pretty radical for a catholic priest having gone on record asking his bishop to perform two separate lesbian weddings (his sister and neice), when I came out of the closet he offered to talk to my ex father about how there's a commandment about loving family but none about gender, and he routinely called for his parishioners to think and actually strive to be better people. They did not like that. They also really didn't like when he kept telling the teenagers that he'd rather we think about our beliefs and convert away than to just stay catholic because we were raised that way.
On one hand I've seen catholics reject the poor on a lot of topics, really basically all of them. But yeah the American Civil religion seems to be developing a strong cult of Trump. What concerns me is the bishops joining that cult.
It's also weird because I'm so used to American fascists being super fucking protestant, and these ones kinda still are, they're just like the bastard children of Calvinism and Franco era Spanish catholicism.
Every pickme to fascism gets to experience that. Dumb motherfuckers
