Why the Family Proclamation is actually pro-trans, a 🧵 in honor of #Mormon #PRIDE
If you're someone who thinks trans identity isn't of God, please read this—I hope to provide a framework to understand trans folks and their place within our currently revealed doctrine.

The Family Proclamation, in its second paragraph, states that sex is an essential, eternal part of our identity.
(The Proclamation calls it "gender", but church authorities have since clarified that what they meant is "biological sex", which is how I'll be referring to it)

The doctrine of a physical, sexed God is a key part of Mormon theology—it's central to the plan of salvation, which lays out our understanding of the narrative and purpose of eternity.
God being a literal parent is a distinguishing part of our theology, and we're proud of it.

1. Thread on Mormon child abuse and mind control #mormons #LDS #LatterDaySaints #ChurchofLatterDaySaints #csa #childabuse #ritualabuse #sra
2. Good place to start is July 1990 a 12 page internal LDS Church memo, called the Pace Memo. It lays bare that satanic ritual child abuse happens in the Mormon church, as told by 60 victims who were church members. #sra #mormons #childabuse #ritualabusecathyfox.wordpress.com/2022/06/24/ut3…
3. The Pace Memo above destroys any argument from desperate ritual abuse deniers or the mormon child abuse deniers. Ritual abuse happens and it happens the Mormon church. #PaceMemo #sra #ritualabuse #childabuse #csa
One reason I’m labeled an “enemy” is for my absolute disgust that their attempt to portray themselves as normal sex-positive humans was so blatantly disrespectful and dehumanizing.
That’s because @Ch_JesusChrist honestly believes we’re not worth respecting or humanizing. @CIA

In the same vein where medical research has burdened themselves with the misogyny that "men are just better versions of women," #Mormons are burdened with the assumption that they are better humans than EVERYONE ELSE, therefore to pretend to be someone "less" should be EASY.
To assert that in the worlds they look down upon have a sense of balance, humanity, or a SPIRITUALITY is tantamount to heresy and is always dismissed as a "false" or "temporary" condition... a trick by Satan.
Anyone who believes differently is automatically an "enemy."

Okay, let's do this.

First, I should note that I have not personally seen the new changes, and am going by what @religiongal has written for the @sltrib. /2 sltrib.com/religion/2019/…
And second, I'll try to be careful not going too far into detail concerning some details that the faithful consider sacred. However, the line is often blurry and different for everyone, so some will think I went to far and others that I didn't go far enough. /3
FACT: Suicide is the number one cause of death of all #Utah youth; this is not the case nationally. More alarming, the teen suicide rate in Utah has doubled since 2011. #LGBT #UTpol #LDS #Mormon #BYU
Another Fact: Teen suicide is lower when there is an #LGBTQ supportive environment. #Utah is notorious for its lack of support for and acceptance of the #LGBT community. #LDS #Mormon #UTpol #BYU
Relatedly, studies show that in areas where homosexuality is tolerated, mental health outcomes for #LGBTQ are the same as non-LGBTQ people. Elevated risk of suicide correlates w/ elevated risk of mental illness that is prevalent among LGBTs living in areas hostile to them.
