And they regularly do introductions of themselves. Today this one boy introduced himself. He mentioned being transgender, which means he was once a girl, but now a boy. Basically all of the comments were telling him to take it down because it could make some members of the group "uncomfortable." Here are some of the lovely comments:
"Because this group was made to share testimonies and to post uplifting posts about who we are as LDS youth. Just stating you were a girl and now a boy and that's it is really uncomfortable for many here and not a lot of people would want to comment on here for fear of offending or saying something wrong. Yes we are supposed to love all LGBT people in the world, but it is something of which as a church do not see those specific actions as acceptable. Everyone has their choices and free agency which was a gift from God. But if you are here to troll or for other inappropriate reasons that do not pertain to the standards of this group then I suggest to take this down."
"Not rying to be a jerk but can u really have the preisthood.
They're making it sound like they want it taken down to protect HIM from being hurt, but I doubt that's really the case. I can understand not agreeing with someone's lifestyle choices, but I feel like these kids were pretty rude about it! They shouldn't have said anything at all.
