hey Zig Forums I really need advice I have prayed almost everyday in my life for Jesus to guide me and I still to this day struggle with one thing. I am a trans woman and I have been transitioning since I was 16 I have been depressed my whole life until I started transitioning. My father's side of the family is very religous so i never told them i was trans as a kid and hid it until I couldn't take it anymore. My grandma has been the biggest influence in my and taught me everything I know about god and what to do in my life and I have taken it all to heart and still follow everything she taught me about charity especially. I try my best to live my life as holy as possible. I never lie, I never cheat, even on small things or anything because I truly wish to live my best life for god. I just feel like me transitioning is disrespectful to god even though the bible never says anything about it to my knowledge. My family is supportive on my dad's side and I have been very open to them about it and I have even taking my grandma's name as my middle name to show how important her teaching me about God has been in my life. I would just like guidance and want to do what god wants me to do but I am simply not a man… and I wonder does that mean I will never truely be a child of God? I have tried everything to be normal but it's not possible without me thinking of hurting myself which is definitely not good either.
Am I living my life in sin?
Stopped reading there.
To answer your question, yes you are living in sin. Your own pride and vanity is keeping you from knowing heaven. God gave you your body and gender but you thought you knew better than God. REPENT!
You're ill, user. There's no sin in being mentally ill in itself, but stop indulging in that madness. You will never ever be a woman, not even if dress like one or mutilate your genitals. "Transitioning" is a path of pain and sin that won't give you any happiness and might land you in hell.
Try to seek a respectable mental health specialist for treatment of your gender dysphoria. That's hard, I know, especially because the lgbt lobby is cracking down hard on such professionals.
I don't wish to mutilate myself I only take medication cause it keeps me from killing myself
i have had therapy for 4 years too
...
bruce jenner is nothing like me… i have felt this way since birth
i appricate you sharing this though I understand most trans people are like this.
No you didn't. To say so is to claim God made a mistake when He made you. God doesn't make mistakes. Don't believe the (((lies))) the satanic media and reddit tells you, OP. Cease your faggotry at once and stop polluting your body with HRT!
i never claimed god made a mistake i am happy with myself I live as a woman even though i have a body that isn't people treat me as a woman and i am happy with myself. I think god gave me a brain that is female and a body that is male maybe to somehow make me a better person I don't think it's a mistake.

No, you are not, so stop saying that you are one. You are a MAN. You are a child of God who went wayward and was wounded, fell ill, and wound himself in the process. It is time to return home, brother. And we will be waiting for you with joy and celebration.
Then make it even better by denying yourself and take up your cross. Everyone has their own to bear, some struggle with nofap, some contend with wrath for this world. It will be a painful journey back home, but as He did carry that cross even when scourged from the road up to the hill, so must we His followers.
Remember this well, user. He is with you, always. In your mind. In your heart. In your reflection. He is there every time you gave in, He is there every time when you fell into another of your episode of self-pity and despair, and there is only one thing He wants from you. You. He wants you back, so come back.
This is exactly what Fr. Mike addresses in the video. The assessment is as follows: Your perception is wrong, it is not consistent with reality. When this is the case, the solution is not to try and change reality, but rather you must change your errant perception.
Furthermore, you cannot "feel" as though you are a woman. You simply cannot, you were never a woman and you are never going to be. How could you know what it feels like to be a dog for example? It is nothing more than speculation and stereotyping.
Please consider this, I will pray for you user.
I seriously do not understand how to be a man I don't understand how to do it what to do anything I've never been a man
>not
didn't mean to spoiler that
I don't feel like i am a woman i just live myself the way i am and people treat me like a woman
I didn't wake up one day and deside to just start doing anything to be a "woman" I just am myself.
1) stop polluting your body with HRT
2) stop believing the (((lies of satan)))
3) pray the rosary daily
4) realize you suffer from SSA and identify as a man
5) go to confession ASAP and confess your disgusting sin
6) artofmanliness.com
7) talk to actual married men and ask them for advice on how to be a man
8) pray the rosary daily its so important it needed to be stated twice
9) READ YOUR BIBLE!
10) Apologize to your father and grandfather and ask them how to be a man.
11) Curse (((satan))) for lying to you
12) PRAY THE ROSARY DAILY
13) put away the soy and tofu and eat beef
14) go to a monestary for a spiritual retreat and ask the monks how to be a man and pray like a man.
15) Read Dante's Inferno and imagine youself in hell for your disgusting and abhorrent behavior
16) imagine the look on Pastor Steven Anderson's face when you prove him wrong and become a normal man once again.
Just Cease your faggotry and sin no more.
*Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor ===effeminate===, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,*
Spot on OP. Also I've been reading your messages and it sounds like your environnement carved you this way. To make you think you're a woman. Look at this :
What does that freaking means? And if people treated you as a dog, would it mean you're a dog? Imagine how the people who drop the soap in prison must feel?
Step 1 : Have XY chromosomes
Step 2 : have a penis and balls
Congrats you are one, no matter how you might "FEEL". Feelings, contrary to popular belief are very decieving. We live in a world that pushes people to shut down reason to follow's society brainwashing.
GENDER IS PHYSICAL. DON'T BELIEVE THEIR LIES.
Also this ===>
You need to recognise this problem for what it is - a perversion of the natural order, which is a grave offense to God. It is anti-logos.
It is not your fault that this happened to you in the first place, God permits diabolical spirits to tempt us and obsess us in order that we grow spiritually. It is however your fault if you continue to delight in it despite knowing better.
You need to stop identifying as what you think you are, start identifying as what you actually are - a man.
You give this problem power over you as soon as you give it credibility.
Finally, I implore you to diligently pray the rosary everyday, devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary is a direct path to Christ. You do not need to change yourself to pray the rosary, praying it will change you. It is a weapon against all things diabolic.
In praying the rosary, you will find clarity and gain proper discernment.
Start today.
Yet you speak of yourself as if you were a woman. You must stop that immediately first and foremost.
That's because they are brainwashed by the jude to indulge in the delusions of their fellow men to have social justice brownie points.
You must tell them to stop treating you like a woman and begin treating you by what you really are, a man.
But if you don't feel like a woman, how come you are 'transitioning'? I mean why do you undergo this procedure if you don't 'feel' like it? Besides, is 'feeling/identifying' as another gender not even a requirement for such a therapy??
Well, obviously you did start to do the transition thing, didn't you?
When I was a kid, my parents were so violent to each other I thought they were going to murder each other. Then they would deny the violence when I brought it up. I thought I was going crazy. I was effeminate, probably because I was naturally artistic and thus more sensitive than other boys. I also question if I’m a bit autistic. Having more of a feminine side than the average man isn’t necessarily bad, because it can help artists, writers, filmmakers, etc. make things which move people. Also, people feel really comfortable telling me their worries because I come across as caring I suppose. So even though I’ve had trouble socially with autistic like qualities, people are still drawn to me.
But what I’ve learned is I need to keep it in check so it doesn’t possess me. Ive learned to control my emotions around people and adopt a stoic attitude (I’m not talking about stoicism in a religious or “life is meaningless stop caring” sense). That has helped me. I also had to read a lot about masculinity, think about how I dress and my mannerisms, and so on. If you have a more feminine side than the average man, you’ll need to learn to more about masculinity. I think developing one masculine hobby like weight lifting helps.
Anyway, as I said I was naturally more feminine but in a healthy environment I don’t think it would have been a concern. I would have just been a more artistic, sensitive kid. But I started to let it overtake it as a child because I thought girls were to be protected, and never hit, and I thought the more feminine I was, I would be safer from my parents.
It is insane but as a child it is your fault really. You don’t have the life experience or tools to navigate utter terror. The violence was happening more days than not. I felt like I was in a torture chamber.
There was nothing sexual about this as I was a little kid. I did not know that homosexuality and transgenderism existed in the early 80s. So as I got a little bigger and stronger and more independent, I was able to leave my home more and also not feel as helpless. I was more aware that life is longer and I could move away one day. Had this happened in our current time, maybe someone would have encouraged me to be transgender, and I might have done it to cope with an unbearable situation.
I’ve read similiar stories about children experiencing trauma and developing identity dysphoria. A woman later learned she wanted to be a man because as a kid she had been raped repeatedly, and her innocent child brain thought if she didn’t have a vagina should could not be raped. Another boy was dressing in his moms clothes. The mom worked nights, so the doctor said for her to call him before bed, for him to sleep near a photo of her, and for them to spend more time together on the weekend.
There will always be transgender people because you can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped, but it’s so disturbing that our society is eliminating avenues for people who develop gender identity as a coping mechanism to find true help to their problem, rather than a masquerade that will likely make the problem worse once the novelty wears off.
The effeminate do not enter the kingdom of heaven - st Paul. God called cross dressing an abomination. You will never get to heaven unless you repent your abominable ways and take up your cross and accept that you are a man as God made you.
You are not and will never be a woman no matter how many people lie to you or how much you delude yourself. You must accept the truth.
Not even in Heaven will he be a she! It's part of our right as Man to be Man or Woman.
What exactly is effeminacy? Dressing like a woman?
Why would there be biological sexes in heaven?
Sex isn't just biological, it is also a spiritual phenomenon. If you think that means that God puts female spirits in male bodies and vice versa you're wrong
Because the resurrection is bodily, and we have affirmation of tribes and tongues so sex should be no different
What is your reason for believing this?
May you please show me any bible verses that mention this?
Resurrection
1 Corinthians 15:15-22 NASB — Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified fnagainst God that He raised fnChrist, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied. But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in fnChrist all will be made alive.
Race (ethnos) continuing into heaven
Revelation 7:9 NASB — After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands;
The material world is symbolic of the spiritual realm. If there is no spiritual component to sex there would be no reason to create the sexes.
idk if you are still checking back to this thread OP but a good way to deal with this is to just see it as you would any other sin.
If when you were young you felt the urge to hurt others that wouldn't make it an okay thing to do. Personally I deal with lust a lot. Sometimes I feel a strong urge to masturbate but that doesn't mean I should do it.
You might stumble and sin again but you should try to fight the temptation the best you can. Ask God to help you and ask him for forgiveness. Depression can be really hard to deal with but transitioning won't likely make you feel any better. In fact since you are a christian knowingly sinning it might make you feel significantly worse.
Is this bait? Nice one OP.
In all seriousness if you are not baiting us go talk with your local Orthodox priest. Mutilating yourself IS a sin, so is homosexuality and sodomy.
No. Effeminacy is softness. Refusing to give up what is pleasurable to do what is arduous.
Loads and loads of sin. If perhaps you believe the "born in the wrong body" meme then thats a massive one as it implies you think God made a mistake. Also pic related.
You live as a man pretending to be a woman. Accept that you are a man and live your life as one
And yet you make a thread about this, it seems like you aren't happy.
You've always been a man.
Everyone is telling OP to just live as a man, and he should. But people with gender identity disorder or whatever you want to call it need help on getting there. I recommend OP find a therapist who will help you work through the traumas of your life, and who understands that transgenderism is not healthy.
I was effeminate as a boy. I didn’t want to be because people teased me. I also felt it was inherently bad. But I didn’t know how to be more masculine which was very frustrating and depressing. I needed to work through many years of childhood trauma. That was the only way I could leave effeminacy behind. Due to my trauma, I was weak. I couldn’t even hold my head up. I couldn’t play by the rules of masculinity, so I tried to bypass them by being effeminate (not transgender as I didn’t even know what that was).
Remember this. Yes trans people need to be told to stop doing it, but they need more tools to help them. OP, google trans regret and reach out to these people.
You're a dude who never had his test levels kick in because of xenoestrogens and industrial poisoning, but instead of waiting for puberty to hit late and starting to lift f.e. you went in the completely opposite direction and took women hormones. Hormones decide how u feel about yourself, but you fell for the faggot propaganda and now u think God made you this way, lol. Detransition and lift, maybe take the test that you would've had in a less poisoned environment.
Also, the only people on this board who would encourage you to go down the homo-path are Catholics, but they aren't Christians.
You are a filthy liar. Check the Catholic general thread and you will see even Catholics here don't want him to do that.
If the prots hadn't chimped out and started the deformation, there wouldn't be this issue or abortion. So kindly take your lies and shove them back into whatever basement you crawled out of
You are the filthy liar. Check the news and you will see tens of thousands of homosexual and pedophile Catholic priests. Catholics, filth of the earth.
Catholics here are zealous, but the huge catholic majority and the apparent mafia in your church are pro faggot.
Congrats you are a useful idiot.
The same can be said about majority Orthodox and Prots. Doesn't change the fact that it is written in the Bible and the CCC that faggotry is a grave sin. Again, if communism was never invented by prots through Freemasonry, no one would be in this situation.
