Not knowing the history of a religion is not the same as not knowing what I believe in personally or how what I believe relates to other people.

Loose brown townogy but I doubt a car mechanic knows the complete history of cars. Christianity is SUPPOSED to be (although it often times didn't happen) a non-legalistic religion, so it's pretty easy to know and read the Bible and not know all of the church's history.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by "orthodox Christianity", but I'm going to assume you mean someone who follows the Bible and its teachings. Therefore, someone who follows the Bible in its proper context (important word there, btw) will understand your position and accept you regardless, even if they necessarily don't agree with you on everything.

See, I'm a Christian. I feel like often times we get a bad rep (although not necessarily without reason; but that's a different matter). However, even as a Christian, I don't go around Bible-thumping and judging people. I don't hate on the LGBTQ+ movement in any way - that sort of thing only hurts people. I don't necessarily agree with every lifestyle choice people make, but that goes for everyone (even a lot of Christians), and hey, it's not my place to impose on your life. Disagreement on something should never stand in the way of showing kindness toward someone. I will still be your friend. I will still love and support you as a human being. I am friends with a bunch of people who are gay, bi, etc. People who let "religion" get in the way of that tend to be the problematic ones.

Now, I can't vouch for other people. Plenty claim to be Christians and then hate on people. It saddens me on many levels that such things happen, so if they do happen to you, I'm truly sorry. If you want to talk more about this stuff or if you are experiencing problems, PM me or something. :)

yeah but eastern orthodoxy is a different church entirely
It's more like a motorcycle mechanic trying to give car advice

If op wants a serious answer Eastern orthodoxy is probably the toughest on friendry and transmissions out of all the main Christian denominations.

Headcrab Zombie:
Honest question, why exactly do religious groups even have a problem with transgender?
I mean, with homoloveuality, there's at least vague bible verses like "if a man lies with another man it is an abomination" or whatever
But I can't recall ever hearing any verses cited that would go against transgenders
