Hello Richard
I think it is nice you want to minister to the transgender and crossdressers. As for me I'm not here to judge you, or I will be judge, you as a person are free to create a church for any of God's lost souls.
I find Christian is the way you carry yourself as Jesus carried himself. The Holy Bible and the laws were written for all not just the Jews or Hebrews.
You know if you start this church you will bring you and the transgenders and crossdresser a lot of problems and trouble. I will say follow your heart, remember Jesus was not accepted by the people.
Sorry but Christians don't own the word church, a church can be opened by any establishment of any belief system. Though the term is mostly associated with Christian beliefs, it's really nothing more than a gathering of like-minded people...nothing more, nothing less. So, since Freedom of Religion is a constitutional right in this country, anyone can open up any type of "church" with any type of belief system if they live in the US. (And for the record, Jesus left the church and the great outdoors became his church..sounds very pagan, huh? }) Now, with that said, as a mother of someone who is transgender, I find the Christian rejection insane, at best. If you look at the studies with transgender people, something went wrong in uetero and they developed a one gender mind but the body came out a different gender. We would refer these things as "flukes of nature" in nursing school. But it's really all about how they developed during pregnancy and somehow something didn't work out right. They've done scientific studies on it, so this isn't me just talking out of my butt. For me, when I learned about this, I had to wonder if the abusive I occurred from her biological father has something to do with this. But I do considerher my miracle child because of the abuse, it was a miracle that she was even born, muchless not developmentally messed up. So, if this the worst that happened, I'm grateful. Now, imagine yourself growing up one gender yet it feels like your playing dress up because your body doesn't match your soul. Imagine being male and looking in the mirror and wondering why you have boobs or a vagina? Feeling like there is something seriously wrong with you and then being rejected by society and even religious family member's because apparently, something is wrong. Unlike those who were born with messed-up physical things, yours is there but can't be seen. People assume it's a choice. Always being forced to act and be something your not. Trying to accept your own self when very few other's actually do. This isn't a choice, and I seriously doubt they are an abomination of God, nor do I believe God would be cruel enough to punish me because I was kid that chose the wrong person to be with. But then again, we are talking about the God who rejected a 5 yearold child for seeing and talking to dead people..being an evil "medium", lol. Let me tell you something about my daughter (born male) she is one of the most giving people I know, accepts everyone for who they are and almost killed herself because people like yourselves told her she was an abomination, God's reject, even though, apparently God doesn't make mistakes. It's sad when a disorder like this Christians are so quick to reject and condemn to hell but will accept a child who's missing an arm or a leg. The cruelty that many Christians have because they were brainwashed into a belief system of fear. And who appointed them as God's punisher's, cloaked in prideful glory, lol. This was a long journey for my daughter and for myself. But I understood her even though she didn't understand herself, because I walked in similar shoes. I didn't ask to have a higher sensitivity, to "be psychic" even though being"psychic" is actually a very natural thing. Oh yeah, everyone has it, I think the term people use is "feeling a vibe"..lol, it's no different. Everyone was created with this sense of intuition and reading everybody's energy. But my daughter was luckier then I. I was trained since childhood to reject and hate myself for who I was. I was to I was cursed and God would never accept me unless I rejected who I was...even though I was created like this. But this also allowed me to teach my daughter to love herself regardless. I provided a place she could feel safe and loved. It took her a longtime, but she finally transitioned and her outside finally fits her inside. I also came to the conclusion over the years that there is NO way the true God would be so cruel and so contradicting. It's like an abusive relationship. rewarded for good behavior, severely punished for bad behavior, and condemned in a place of hellfire for using freewill that he gave you? That's not freewill, that's control. I'm convinced that Christianity was created by Lucifer because only he would be able to create so much fear, so much hatred and above all else, so much pride!! Anyway's, there is no "ministering" to them, their souls, their minds were literally created in the wrong bodies. God didn't screw up, nature did. They have spent a lifetime being rejected by strangers and even loved one's due to their ignorance. There's nothing to forgive, nothing to change. If they make it alive long enough to love and accept themselves, then they are already saved. The only they will burn in hell is if you put them back there. So, please, leave them alone and focus on saving yourself...
