I made some bad mistakes in the last little while. I asked why a person I know didn't visibly commit to transitioning to the gender they proclaim to be and I also asked what the process of coming out as transgender involves.
Since bad things usually come in threes, I accidentally misgendered a person who I thought identified as male, but who is actually non-binary. I've gotten a lot of hate and threats and even a comment how I deserve the electric chair for my genuine mistakes and I'm really sad about that to the point of shedding floods of tears. I'm ignorant about LGBTQ2IA+ things because I'm a person with a social/learning disability who grew up relatively sheltered in small Mormon communities or situations where those things simply weren't talked about. People may have discussed these things with me in the past, but my memory is really terrible and I'm one of those who have to be told things more than once in order to remember them.
Now that I'm aware of the fact that I hurt and angered a lot of people with my ignorance, I sincerely apologize for my ignorant behavior and plead for forgiveness. I hope God, Christ, and all of you can forgive me for being so horribly ignorant. I failed in loving others simply because of my ignorance and I hate myself for it. I want to become educated and use that education to become a better person. Can y'all please find it in your hearts to forgive and help me?
