I've been wearing boys clothes(I'm physically a female, mentally a male) since I was old enough to pick out my own clothes and thw church I went to growing up was ok with it.

That's good to know that they can use their discretion, and practise some common sense. And its good to know you were able to wear clothes you were happy with

I don't know. As I've said earlier in this thread, if people believe that I am going to hell because their religion tells them to (which is really all the original post and controversy was about), I really don't care about that. It's when that belief starts to practically affect their operation in an officially secular society that I have a problem. Logic and reason need to rule in those contexts, and the "because of my religion" defense doesn't hold water. People have used religion to defend racism and slavery, too, let's not forget. And when those opinions affected secular policy, it was a problem.

thanks for the extra info
