A transgender in a Muslim family (muslims only with all respect)

[Tara.S]

Hello,

I was born as a male in the Arab World among religious Muslim family members. They treated me better before  some of my preferences like being attracted to guys and wanting to be feminine appeared to them. They tried making me remain as a man but it only pushed me deeper into this world. I eventually gave up on religion but not completely for i’m spiritual. My family is Sunni by the way.

Whenever the subject of marriage comes, i, the eldest, am the target to pray for mr to find my future bride/wife. They seem in denial.

It irritates me and what scares me most to haunt me at night is this fear of ending in hell according to their words for changing God’s creation.

I may not be religious but I have my belief of the afterworld and hell isn’t part of my plans. What should I do?

I’ve had the same question in my head since I can remember and What I’ve come to believe is if you’re pure at heart and a decent human being there’s always a place for you heaven. We leave our body behind and our souls are the only thing that lives in the after life. 
 

be true and be yourself 

 

rest is up to god ?

Many including myself believe that live here on Earth can be both Heaven or Hell.  It all depends upon how we live.  Stay true to who you are and live a good life.  If there is an afterlife, you will be fine.  I was also raised in a religious family and I do not believe god is an angry or vengeful deity.

I am of the belief that all are created as we are meant to be, not as others feel we should be.  Customs, rules and the demands of society seem to me to be the creation of man rather than the creator who simply doesn't make mistakes.

I can love myself as one of their creations.

 

Hugs,
