'Transgender people are experiencing harm and erasure due to: the introduction and approval of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation across several states, harmful rhetoric from some Christian institutions and their leaders, including the Catholic Church, [and] daily discrimination and violence,' the coalition of religious stated.

(LifeSiteNews) — A coalition of dissident Catholic religious sisters released a statement Friday supporting the March 31 “Transgender Day of Visibility,” calling for those who identify as “trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive” to be “acknowledged, boldly accepted, and celebrated” by the Church.

In a statement titled “In Solidarity: Vowed Catholic Religious Honor Trans Day Of Visibility,” the Sisters of Saint Joseph U.S. Federation, Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary of-the-Woods and Indiana and Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth JPIC office declared full support of the transgender agenda, claiming to “represent over 6,000 vowed Catholic religious and partners in mission in over 18 states.”

The sisters stated, “As vowed Catholic religious and our partners in mission, we wholeheartedly affirm that transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive individuals are beloved and cherished by God. We mark March 31, International Day of Transgender Visibility, as a time to celebrate, acknowledge, and uplift folks who identify as transgender, nonbinary, and/or gender-expansive.

I am not trying to be judgmental, but aren’t these religious Sisters embracing heresy? The Bible is pretty clear about the abomination of homosexuality ....

These aren’t Christians. These are Sodomite-worshipping Satanists.

“Harm and erasure”.

That’s what they want to do to us.

Hey, I’m willing to live and let live, as long as they leave me the hell alone.

But, NOOOOOOOO!

They want me to honor, celebrate, participate in and pay for their delusional fetishes.

I dunno, maybe they should let nuns and priests get married. Everyone in that photo above looks mean and very ‘butch’.

Maybe if they nuns were allowed to have boyfriends from the start, and the priests were allowed to have girlfriends and the Church would let them get married eventually, then maybe they would not prey upon the children.

Lol! Well, elderly sisters when they’re wearing civvies…which is all the time now…either go for the lesbian look or the smock with pink kittens.

They have lousy taste in clothes. Bring back the habit!

The nuns who taught me back in elementary school, they would not have even acknowledged a transgender could exist.

[[’Transgender people are experiencing harm]]

Um not so much- normal people are the ones suffering harm at the hands of trannies though!
