I am transgendered and all my life I’ve been told that God can’t love me because I’m different. How can God love me? Why does your church believe differently?

The Bible does not specifically address this issue of sexuality. 

However, many churches have deemed transgendered persons as mentally unbalanced or sinful.  These labels are NOT based on the Bible.  The Rev. Elder Troy Perry, founder of UFMCC, stated "It is not surprising that the God who created our world with incredible diversity and complexity also created humanity with a diversity of sexual orientations and gender variance.
  All of God's creation is good and holy, and that includes our transgender brothers and sisters...We should celebrate people who have often made great sacrifices to grapple with issues of gender variation and who are committed to living their lives with openness and authenticity. It is the great sin of the Church to exclude those whom God created and loves. We call upon all faith communities to welcome all people of faith, just as God invites and welcomes all, including transpeople who are called as members, friends, clergy and lay leaders."
