Are there any queer and trans Catholics here. How do you reconcile your beliefs with what the church says about your identity.

I grew up catholic then after my communion switched to Christianity and now I am atheist. I was always physically hit when using my left hand in catholic school and after my family all together stopped attending. I would wondered why is it bad I am left handed. Then I realize I liked girls at 14 and everything about faith crumbled. There’s no reason I shouldn’t be able to use my left hand just like there’s no reason I can’t like girls. I never was strong in faith to begin with tho

Not trans, but gay man here. This is sort of the reason why I have taken a “protestant” approach to my beliefs. By the day i am more inclined to Episcopal/ Anglican practices.

Rome has a stance and I have in the past led a faction in the church

ELCA lutherans are like Catholic lite and they’re more progressive protestant with a catholic approach to worship

I’ll check out those denominations. It’s rough for me personally because I was raised New England Protestant and my family on my dad’s side that I’m closest to are Irish Catholics. Very split between those. I’m very drawn to the like, ritual of Catholic Mass? I went to a funeral mass once and was taken by the music and the ritual of it all, where I’ve never felt that way before

Some Espiscopalian churches are similar to the mass celebrated by the Catholic Church
