(The Inquisitr) - In Dallas we can own things like J.R., The Assassination Of JFK and the controversial sermons of Robert Jeffress, who has attacked the Obama administration and the transgender community from the pulpit.

But there's a new pastor in town, one who's only new because he's finally stepping up to say something positive about his approach to the transgender community, in that rather than place judgement on them, he's making an effort to learn about their issues.

Pastor Mark Wingfield is drawing some attention to himself for writing an op-ed where he lists the seven things he's learned or learning about the transgender community, which is refreshing and the complete opposite of what we've come to expect from our religious leaders.
