  1. hi Paul
    My mom went to school with you and shared this article with me. Her name was Janet Jackson. My son is transgender so she thought your article was great and so do I.
    Just wanted to say great job!! It takes a strong person to come out, i am always so proud of my son for that! So glad to hear your wife is supportive. It is so important to have supportive family…..

  2. Paula, I have introduced myself to you in the past. I enjoy reading the last page of the CS . I do not pretend to understand transgender, with that I will say it is a truly wondering and pondering subject.
    I am so sorry that the majority of people would like to tar and feather you but I am not one. Our people of the Christian church and church of Christ are quick to judge until it comes to their neighborhood.
    Take care & I with others will be praying for you.

  3. I’m in hopes that being true to yourself — for the first time ever — outweighs the torture of hurtful comments from those of a different mind. The life you have lived, the good you have done, are not negated by the fact that people didn’t know everything about you. You have always been the same person. It is others who are different now, because they are now aware of your story. “Be nice, Paul.” Or rather, be kind to yourself, Paula.

  4. I have neglected to write to you, Paul, until now because my processing is so very incomplete. But I wanted you to know that I am praying for you, fervently. Not for anything in particular, as I have no words, no instructions for my God (as I so often do!). I have no understanding of transgender, of the loneliness you must have felt for most of your life, of the level of courage it took to come out. I have only the in between that I live with in so many areas of my faith, that require just my faith that God is good, and I am his. Carry on, warrior, to wherever God is taking you. With love, Diane Karchner

I am happy that you found the courage to be you. Paul or Paula ……irrelevant! I am praying for your continued happiness. Until we meet again….

  12. Paula- in a recent sermon I quoted from your blog regarding bathrooms in the Charlotte Airport. Our little but mighty congregation in Bristol TN is the better for your life, work and words. Thank you for continuing to teach preachers like me.

  13. Hello Paula, I am delighted to have discovered your site. As a fellow traveller who needs to dress, is married with several children and grandchildren, spiritual, a bush walker and mountain biker I can probably understand some parts of your life, even if it is only how to repair a puncture.
    I wish you every blessing in your life journey as you be the person you are meant to be.

  14. Thank you, Paula, for sharing your story with our congregation this past Wednesday. I learned so much and am so convicted about wanting issues, relationships, life, etc. to have easy answers, but realizing that they don’t. I appreciate your humor, honesty, courage and willingness to invite us into the narrative of your journey.

  16. I have just watched your talk at this year’s GCN Conference and was riveted. Thank you so much for sharing your heart. You also have an infectious sense of humour. I came out as a gay man in November 2011 at the age of 63 after living a lie for all my life. I have a close relationship with my ex-wife on a brother/sister level. I also have a partner, with whom I am currently staying in the Philippines. We are hoping to settle in the UK. My immediate family have found it difficult to accept me, and certainly my relationship with my partner. Now that the dark cloud has disappeared which used to hang over me, I am totally at peace with myself and have never been happier. God is love. Isn’t that a wonderful statement? When I am back home in Exeter, I go to Quaker meetings. I appreciate the “collective stillness”, which is so therapeutic that often I have fallen asleep. Thank you again for being you and for sharing God’s love. I wish you and your wife all the best, Bill.

  17. Paula, good for you for embracing and accepting your true self. I am early in transition, and reading your testimony around the web has brought me tears of joy. I am a Christian who loves the Lord and it has definitely been a struggle for me as I grow closer and closer to the moment where I am seen as female. I am not out to family yet, just a handful of friends. Thank you for your inspiration!

  18. Saw your TEDx talk.
    I’ve no religious leanings myself, but I respect you for holding onto yours even after having had religious organisations treat you so shabbily.
    As a man, I’m sorry that men have been such idiots since your transition.
    Well done on having managed to the self that you found yourself to be when you were a kid.
    Best wishes,
    David
