Kindred,
There is way too much emphasis upon the superficial, instead of the substantive.
A person should not have to decide who to be based upon the attributes of body, instead of the attributes of character or soul.
The focus upon the mundane causes loss of sight of self, self-esteem and spirituality.
When all is said and done, you cannot take your body with you, your skin, skin color, outward appearance or gender, money or power; you can only take that part of you with a soul.
Grow with the Lord in love and peace and work to be a better person; don't worry too much about the rest.
