I absolutely disagree with the idea that God makes people to be transgender. Genesis 1:27 says that God made people - male and female He created them. Plural. As in...people generally. Also notice that God creates animals according to their kinds, and that Creation was orderly. I don't find the "both/or/and" interpretation to be consistent with God's personality as described in Scripture. God doesn't seem to operate with ambiguity. It feels like using "lawyer language" to find something that isn't there. I do not believe that God made me as I am...intersex/trans, unable to reproduce naturally, and with wacky plumbing inside me that by some miracle manages to still work. I believe that while God gives the soul, our biological life has been an ongoing natural process after Creation, something which He chooses not to control. Yes, God is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, and all that. But He voluntarily limits Himself in our world in this time. He doesn't make everything or fix everything... cancer and war and such are proof of that. If you believe in God creating people intentionally to be transgender, then you might also believe God intentionally creating some kids as disabled, or some to be stillborn. I believe the path forward for Christians is to recognize and accept the effects of Original Sin upon all creation. There's a difference between God avoiding involvement/manipulation and actively creating a situation. God doesn't make mistakes...but at this point, there are a lot of things that God simply doesn't make at all. I don't believe He is as detached from Creation as the Deist "watchmaker analogy," but I don't believe He is controlling every little detail either. There's a balance, sort of. Disagree if you want - people have debated the issue of control, free will, and creation for centuries....it will continue to be discussed until the end of time. I'm not sure if I was supposed to be a boy or a girl. I guess when I get to the afterlife, I'll find out. Because all the crap that happens here due to original sin and a broken system will be fixed. The world will be set right, and I believe we'll all be either male or female as God originally wanted. Some of us might be surprised at what that looks like. As for me, I'll be happy with either. I just want to fit in my body. -

Hi, Riya and welcome to the forums!! You find lots of veterans here and many of us are in fairly early stages of transitioning. Ask questions, and jump in wherever you feel comfortable adding to the discussion. -

I've been fortunate in growing my hair out. I had a few thinner spots - typical spots - but have been using Hims' hair growth treatment for about 6 months now and it had made a tremendous difference. I'm not sure how long I'll let it grow but I've been thrilled with how it's turning out. Today I'm wearing this olive green high waisted 3/4 balloon sleeve midi dress with white sneakers. I also received these today. Found them on eBay. I've been looking for a pair of brown riding boots but finding them in my size is hard and typically expensive. These were on end of season sale plus they gave me another 10% off so I ended up at about 40% of retail. They fit perfectly (12M). Unfortunately (or fortunately) boot season is over so I'll put them away until Fall. -

A little bit about myself. I am a veteran and college student. I’m here to align myself and to continue to grow. I myself so happen to be a transgender woman. This is as far as I have made it in transitioning. Looking forward to the future! -

We should submit all of the poetry from this site's Poetry Forum and see what they think of all that good stuff! I'd love to frame their rejection letter. Carolyn Marie -

Your brother is the person who has decided that "sin" is involved because he has lost control of a part of his life by you taking on your authentic self. It is not because you have committed any Sin per se, but because he is no longer controlling your life, evangelicism or other wise. He is using formula words and ideas hoping to re-gain that control over you. Your Roman Catholicism vs. his choices of religion would be enough to do it in many many cases. Your being Trans is just one more area of his losing his control. If your brother were also Roman Catholic, I suspect he would be the same way about you on just the Trans issue itself no matter what your priests would tell him -- he has lost control of your life and is afraid he has lost control of his life. Family members of any religion who fear loss of control will often cite scriptures they believe support their Position. If Bible verses are needed, Matthew. 10:34-8 which speaks of division in families over religion would be a casual point directed at your brother's control issues. -

This might help. These are the grace and lace letters dealing with Christianity and transgenderism from someone who struggled with the "conflict". https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/catalog?f[collection_name_ssim][]=Grace+and+Lace+Letter&sort=dta_sortable_date_dtsi+asc%2C+title_primary_ssort+asc -

Back again love conquers all I don’t think my wife and kids would hold me hostage but if I explain it right to them it might prove how much I’ve lived them over many years
