Transitioning is a varied process that differs from individual to individual, so it doesn’t always involve surgery. But when it does, those surgeries might not be covered by insurance and are often expensive, which is why a Christian group is encouraging church members to donate to help transgender people with surgery costs.
Faithfully LGBT, an organization that seeks to share the stories of LGBTQ people of faith, has started a campaign called the Tithe Trans Campaign to raise money for the transgender community. The campaign takes its name from a practice in which some Christians donate a tenth of their earnings to the church.
Faithfully LGBT is collecting donations to send to the Jim Collins Foundation, a non-profit organization that raises money to provide grants to cover gender affirming surgeries.

Gender ID not lining up with assigned Gender ≠ Gender Dysphoria.

Let me make this perfectly clear.
Gender Dysphoria is a condition that often coincides with the Trans experience.
Gender Dysphoria is 100% valid.
Gender Dysphoria can be distressing.
Gender Dysphoria can be uncomfortable.
Gender Dysphoria can even be only mildly annoying.
Gender dysphoria is NOT IN ITSELF the experience of feeling like your identity doesn’t line up to your anatomy.
There’s already a word for that: Transgender.
Gender dysphoria can be a symptom or consequence of the experience of being transgender, which is why it’s easy to confuse the two.
There are people who aggressively believe and declare that in order to be trans you must also experience dysphoria, thus propagating that confusion. They mistake transgender identity for dysphoria, causing a rift in information, in understanding, and in the trans community.
Gender Dysphoria is not the same as being trans. Please stop using this ideology to exclude people in our own community.
