Nevermind that Jesus ate with sinners, nevermind that we are commanded to love even our enemies.
It's not apropos of fundies, but I thought the new evangelical way was to befriend sinners, invite them to dinner, and hang out with them once every so often, while reminding them on the regular that you "love them, but can't support their lifestyle" (because if you don't say it all the time, the poor sinner might forget about your disapproval).
Not my style but yes I have run into that before.
My mil for example has finally relented and allowed her transgender child to come to the house but refuses use the new name or pronouns
because to do so would signify acceptance. Nevermind that it is infinitely more confusing to my foster son who has never known her as anything else! BTW what is the correct form of referencing a transgender person. Is the gender that follows transgender what they are presenting as or what they were raised as?
Is it transgender daughter if the person is presenting as female but grew up male?
Genuinely asking cause I don’t know and don’t want to say the wrong thing.

Letting go doesn't mean you stop caring, it just means you stop trying to force others to!
But if someone was AMAB (assigned male at birth) & is presenting as female, then the correct term would be daughter/woman. The trans is unnecessary info, since trans women are women and trans men are men. Also, if you're referring to her as a transwoman, it's a form of outing someone, which is potentially dangerous for her.
