Caitlyn Jenner's transition from Bruce has been the most high-profile the world has ever seen.
From the dramatic television interview with Diane Sawyer in which Jenner revealed herself for the first time, to the series of appearances in which she has been hailed as an inspirational figure, billions now know that Bruce Jenner has become Caitlyn.
But behind the scenes, I can reveal, is a far more subtle process - and one, multiple sources have told me, with which Caitlyn is struggling.
Her doubts center not on her identity as a woman, but her devout Christian beliefs about sexuality.
Caitlyn remains attracted to women but as a Christian believes same-sex relationships are sinful.

So ... it's not sinful to change from a man to a woman, but it is sinful to then make love to another woman? Caitlyn, I think you are confused.
Perhaps these two passages can help set you straight (no pun intended):
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.
Deuteronomy 22:5 KJV
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Leviticus 18:22 KJV
The first passage seems quite clear - the Bible says it's a sin to transition from one sex to the other.
The second passage says male-male sex is sinful, but it does NOT say female-female sex is sinful. In fact, I can find NO passage in the Bible which specifically says lesbian sex is an abomination.
So Caitlyn/Bruce, as far as the Bible is concerned you are wrong on BOTH counts.
By the way, some people claim these passages condemn lesbian sex:
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Romans 1:26-27 KJV
I think that's a stretch. The first part is vague (it doesn't say what is meant by "against nature"), while the second passage once again makes it clear that male-male sex definitely is fubar.
