Yeah see ive read through the first one time and time agian (and cried over it alot)
It says here
“Worthy individuals who do not pursue surgical, medical, or social transition away from their biological sex at birth may enjoy all the privileges of Church membership.
Church leaders counsel against pursuing surgical, medical, or social transition away from one’s biological sex at birth. (Social transitioning means intentionally identifying and presenting oneself as other than one’s biological sex at birth, and may include changing dress, grooming, names, or pronouns.) Leaders advise that taking these actions will result in some Church membership restrictions. These restrictions include receiving or exercising the priesthood, receiving or using a temple recommend, and serving in some Church callings.”
specifying the area about social transitioning it says “Social transitioning means intentionally identifying and presenting oneself as other than one’s biological sex at birth, and may include changing dress, grooming, names, or pronouns.”
I have done all of those. I dress very masculine and have a binder. I’ve cut my hair short (grooming) i dont go by my deadname. And literally as we can see i dont go by my bio pronouns.
this is where my concern stemmed from. And moving a bit forward it says this “These restrictions include receiving or exercising the priesthood, receiving or using a temple recommend, and serving in some Church callings.”
I haven’t gone to the temple most beacause of this. I find excuses to say no because the rules are so blurry on everything that i dont know if i would be allowed in the temple if i didnt keep it secret. I’ve been called many times as a young women’s president or councilor and whatnot but like it states here, well i might say, as it doesnt specifically state here, i shouldnt or maybe shouldnt be allowed to be called into a calling.
sorry i need to verbally/text process stuff
