Please take a moment to read this article. It was written by a friend of mine. I share it, because I am a part of this story. As part of Blaines article, he talks about an experience he had to sit in on a panel discussion of Transgender People share their experiences and how they navigate Gender Dysphoria and stay in the Gospel. I was on one of those panels. I'm not trying to toot my own horn, however I will be tooting my wife's horn in a second.
The second panel he discusses was with family members of those that are transgender. Tina sat on that panel and I was responsible for introducing the moderator. After introducing our moderator for the panel, I looked at all the beautiful people who were up there supporting their family members and I was overcome by the spirit in a a way I have never been touched. For the first time ever, I felt what it was like to be loved. Don't get me wrong, I had known I was loved, I knew my wife loved me, I knew my Heavenly Father loved me, but I had never FELT that love until that moment. I cried throughout the session. My wife asked me after what was wrong and I told her that I had never felt Love like that before. She looked at me with her beautiful blue eyes, welling up with tears and said "You have ALWAYS been loved". I looked back at her and said, "I know, but now I FEEL it."
