Gender Identity
Ephesians 4:14-15
Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ…
Secular Creed – Rebecca McLaughlin
Embodied – Preston Sprinkle
Transgender – someone whose gender identity does not correspond to that person’s sex assigned at birth.
