In Bremerhaven in germany, evangelical buildings are regularly targeted with rotten eggs, a problem I am already familiar with from Moordorf. Transgender pastors like myself are often the target of attacks. A firm stance can help deter the perpetrators.

It is truly unfortunate that such negative experiences continue to occur in our society. Attacks on transgender pastors or our communities because of our feminine identity are not only horrific but also a sign of deeply rooted prejudices and intolerance that we urgently need to address.

Various approaches to combat pathological homophobia are crucial in the fight against discrimination:

Public Presence: Visibility is important to show that there is a vibrant, supportive community advocating for acceptance and inclusion. Positive and respectful events that celebrate diversity can help raise awareness in society.
Education and Dialogue: Sharing knowledge and experiences is fundamental. Workshops, discussion panels, and informational events can contribute to breaking down prejudices and fostering a better understanding of the challenging issues surrounding gender identity and other aspects of diversity.
Safety and Support: In a time when many feel insecure, it is essential to support one another. Networks and organizations fighting for the rights of LGBTQ+ people are often a valuable resource. They can also provide legal support and safety measures.
Documentation and Legal Action: Documenting incidents is a crucial step to ensure that such acts do not go unpunished. Legal frameworks must be utilized to set an example and demonstrate that every form of violence and discrimination is taken seriously.
Counseling and Support: Emotional support is essential to help those affected cope with the psychological consequences of discrimination and violence. Counseling and psychological support can help restore feelings of safety and community.

Together we stand stronger and can change the narrative to promote an inclusive and respectful society. The commitment to diversity and acceptance is not only important in the fight against discrimination but also in fostering a positive, respectful cultural change that ultimately benefits everyone.
