Haha, yeah, I did the same. Here's my (I gotta say something) accidental Facebook rant to one of my close minded "Christian" friends who brought Caitlyn up and said some derogatory things about her...
"The evangelicals claim to have the truest truths of Christianity and the most favor and love of God but from the outside looking in, I don't see anything of the sort. it appears as thought being transgender is not a legitimate condition nor is its treatment acceptable. Seems pretty unloving and hypocritical to me. If she had a cleft pallet, cancer, epilepsy, depression or a host of other conditions she'd have their blessing ...but not transgender. And even if you're right, when Caitlyn's painful life is over, shouldn't she and her choices be between her and God alone?

That's a good word Lenneth and I need to keep reminding myself of that every day because I'm trying really hard not to lose my faith OR become cynical towards it. It's the idiots, not God, who are rejecting me.

That's a great response, one I haven't yet had the opportunity to use though. I think people are afraid to ask ME what I think about Caitlyn because they suspect, but can't believe, I might be doing the same thing.
