Reading the new Church of Scotland booklet
www.churchofscotland.org.uk/news_and_events/news/2018/new_pastoral_support_advice_for_transgender_community
(Which is 
on its own) led me to this which I'm thinking is the very definition of word salad
www.transtheology.org/index.html
"I don’t think I ever felt like a girl. It doesn’t make sense in my head to say ‘I’m a girl’ whereas it
makes sense in my head to say I’m a demi-boy and my demi-boy label is really important to me. I
know some people are like ‘we should just be free to do whatever we want without having to label
ourselves’ but for me finding a label meant that I found other people. Labels are a good thing. It
means I have found other people who understand me, people who know what I mean. Through the
Transgender Scotland Facebook group I have a whole range of people who get how I feel, who can
empathise with me in some way. It is these little things that give you a community. I suppose it is
more about the connections rather than what the words mean."
"When we are early on in transition, whether or not people address us correctly is really
important. Getting the pronouns right and using my chosen name can have a real psychological
impact. In the first couple of years, trans people can be very sensitive and very vulnerable.
Socially transitioning is a massive thing to do and being misgendered stabs us deeply in our
hearts and hurts us. Names CAN hurt as well as validate."
