The Italian transsexual Alessia Nobile, who has visited the Holy Father on several occasions, showed the press a handwritten letter that Francis sent her calling her “dear sister”.
"Dear sister, thank you very much for your email," Francis writes to the transsexual Alessia Nobile, in a letter shown to the press by the subject himself. "I was touched. I agree with you on the bias issue. It hurts so much! In the eyes of God we are all his children, and that is what counts! We have a Father who loves us, who is close with compassion and tenderness. Everyone, no one excluded. This is precisely God's style: closeness, compassion, tenderness. I pray for you, do it for me. May the Lord bless you and the Virgin keep you. Fraternally, Francis.
Alessia Nobile, Italian transsexual activist and author of 'The invisible child', along with five other transsexuals, met last June with the Pope in a private audience at the request of the pontiff himself, and has told the Italian news portal Fanpage about the meeting.
It was Sister Genevie, a nun who lives in an amusement park near Rome, who proposed the meeting to the Pope. "Bring them all," was Francisco's reply.
