I am a transgender Christian. What is my sin?

Article by H. Adam Ackley taken from the Huffington Post (United States), of 10 February 2013, freely translated by Giacomo Tessaro

I recently been informed that I was asked to leave my chair at the university, which I kept for fifteen years, to "have violated Christian values", as a professor of Christian theology and transgender shepherd.
I am trying to understand what Christian values ​​I have violated and I have tried a guide on Christian values ​​and how to avoid violating them in the teachings of Jesus themselves as they are in the Gospel of Matteo, my favorite among the four gospels, in which you mention his words "If your hand or your foot make you fall into sin, cut them and throw them away from you; better for you it is to enter the life of the life of the life of the eternal.

If your eye makes you fall into sin, I ride and throw it away from you; It is better for you to enter life with one eye, than having two eyes and being thrown into the Geenna del Fuoco "(Matthew 18: 8-9).
In other words, Jesus has taught that if our body makes us stumble and breaks our commonality with God and others, it is better for us to alter the body than to live in sin, that the theologian Paul Tillich has defined as "alienation" by ourselves, by others and by God.
Although I did not do it with my hands and according to the standards of Jesus, altering the body to live with greater authenticity and integrity and not a false life that presents a false self is not a violation of Christian values.

Then Jesus asks "that it seems to you? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of these gets lost, he will not leave ninety-nine on the mountains to go in search of the lost one? And if he manages to find it, in truth I tell you that he rejoices more for this than for the ninety-nine that they had not been lost. So the Father of your who is in the skies wants to even one of these little ones" (Matteo 18: 12-14).
The centers for the control and prevention of diseases, the FBI and the Department of Justice tell us that 47% of all transgender people try to take their lives and that the murder rate of transgender people is higher than that of all the other at risk groups put together, but Jesus teaches that it is not the will of God that any of his children perishies.
Jesus also teaches that 1%, in this case, transgender people opposed to 99% of people who conform their genre (cisgender), must not be left outside or excluded from the flock of God but that our shepherd goes to look for him and rejoic in seeing him gathered to the flock. Trying to heal the division that is produced in the body of Christ due to gender identity is not a violation of Christian values.

So what violates the "Christian values"? Let's examine Jesus' teaching on how Christian relationships and communities have to face conflicts (Matthew 18: 15-19): "If your brother has sinned against you, go and convince him between you and he alone. If you listen to you, you will have earned your brother".
If I have violated Christian values ​​simply as a transgender person who has not yet started medical and legal procedures, I am still waiting for the individual who will tell me in private what is my sin, so that he can listen to it and gather to my Christian family. Perhaps there has been some misunderstanding, in which case the subsequent education of Jesus can be for us. "But if you don't listen to you, take with you again ... two or three witnesses".
I am still waiting for a small group of two or three Christian brothers or sisters who tell me what my sin is. Maybe I misunderstood an attempt in this sense?
We read the third education of Jesus: "If you refuse to listen to them, tell the Church". If we are at this point, then a name must be given to my sin and discuss within our Christian community, always with the aim of restoring commonality and re -facing the brother.

In some way, however, given that none of these direct instructions of Jesus has not been followed, it seems that we are in the fourth and last level: "If you refuse to listen to the Church, both for you as the pagan and the public." Here's what I am, a person driven out of commonality as if I had broken irreparablely with my community and I was an inveterate sinner.
But did I refuse to listen to the church? Did I refuse to listen to a group of two or three? Did I refuse to listen to one who came to me in private? What is my sin? Those who deliberately ignore the teachings of Jesus to destroy the Christian community without even talking directly to help someone see how much is alienated from himself, by others and by God (sin) are those who violate Christian values.

Yet we are called to forgiveness even when we are treated like this. The apostle Peter followed this teaching asking how many times he had to forgive those who sins against him, and Jesus replied "until seventy times seven", that is, that forgiveness should practically not have limits (Matthew 18: 21-22). Jesus illustrated this command with the servant's parable that did not condone, a man to whom the king had compassionally condemned a big debt that he could not pay.
Received the amnesty, he immediately requested the payment of very minor debts from other servants, beating and imprisoning one of them, who could not pay it immediately. When the king discovered what his debtor had done, you asked "Didn't you have to have the mercy of your preserves too, how did I have pity on you?" (Matthew 18: 23-35).

Through the grace without limits of God we can live in the magisterium of Jesus to welcome his presence between us through the practice of reconciliation and forgiveness: "Since where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them" (Matthew 18:20).
