Here's a biblical and pastoral response to trans issues by Peter Lynas | Premier Christianity (August 2021, makes a show of being open-minded towards trans and nonbinary issues while the writer dismisses the importance of using the right prounouns, compares trans people to race fakers, and sympathetically references known bigots)

2. Conservative Christians like to emphasize marriage and deem premarital sex awful and sinful. So if you're aromantic and allosexual (meaning romantic attraction isn't really a thing for you but sexual attraction is), you probably won't be looked upon with kindness.

3. Christians in purity culture often believe having sex with someone outside of marriage degrades them. As noted above, this makes Christian culture unwelcoming to aromantic allosexuals.

It is dehumanizing to hate, to lie, and to have sex outside of a mutually self-giving life-long covenant. (Many don't believe the Bible gives God's will--but that's another subject.) by Timothy Keller | Twitter (April 2021)
