If God didn't make me transgender then why have I felt this way my entire life and I've never been able to change it?

I think you need to look at your feelings a bit more and compare them to what is true about God. Here is what I know based on Scripture; The Bible nowhere explicitly mentions transgenderism or describes anyone as having transgender feelings. However, the Bible has plenty to say about human sexuality. Most basic to our understanding of gender is that God created two (and only two) genders: “male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27). All the modern-day speculation about numerous genders or gender fluidity—or even a gender “continuum” with unlimited genders—is foreign to the Bible.

The closest the Bible comes to mentioning transgenderism is in its condemnations of homosexuality (Romans 1:18–32; 1 Corinthians 6:9–10) and transvestitism (Deuteronomy 22:5). The Greek word often translated “homosexual offenders” or “male prostitutes” in 1 Corinthians 6:9 literally means “effeminate men.” So, while the Bible does not directly mention transgenderism, when it mentions other instances of gender “confusion,” it clearly and explicitly identifies them as sin.

Just because something might have a biological cause does not mean embracing the effects is the right thing to do. Jeremiah pens, “The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?” (Jeremiah 17:9 NLT) In other words, how we feel is not always right, especially when those feelings are contrary to God’s truth.

My biggest question is does God expect me to always be unhappy?

[XHopelessRomanticX]

Here’s the thing, and be prepared because it’s a tough pill to swallow. God cares more about your holiness than your happiness. God wants you to become more like Christ, and it’s in becoming more like Christ, we can find true joy.

People may make decisions based on what they think will make them happy, then experience despair when happiness never comes. People who assume that God wants them to be happy may justify activities clearly prohibited in the Bible by arguing that such choices are necessary for happiness. God wants us to be happy but not at any cost. That includes reconfiguring our bodies. His goals for us are higher, broader, and more lasting than fleeting happiness.

The lie that happiness is contingent on what we want, is the same lie Adam and Eve believed in the Garden of Eden.
God does want us to be happy, and He has provided all we need for life and godliness through Christ Jesus (2 Peter 1:2). He has designed the human heart to experience its greatest ecstasy in worship, its deepest satisfaction in serving, and its greatest love through the power of the Holy Spirit.

I'm not sure what your notion of "god" is or how it creates, but I know that it's impossible to feel transgender because gender is a social construct.

What you're describing sounds similar to the feeling of estrogen dominance in men.

[ElizaPam]

It's obviously not impossible to feel transgender because here I am. Being female isn't a social construct it's a biological reality.

[loveslongnails]

Nowadays, science is making a case for a certain chemical balance, or imbalance as the case may be, for what your proclivities may be. If you wish to attribute that to God, or a higher power, that's up to you. Personally, I strongly doubt that God makes a decision like " well, I'll give this one a functioning male reproductive system but make the brain be leaning towards the female side of things".

When humans can't explain something, it's always easy to say "It must be God's will", isn't it?

[ElizaPam]

But I love Jesus and I think he made me very very special and he picked me because he knew I was strong and brave and sweet

[loveslongnails]

You can believe whatever you choose to believe. I can't offer you proof one way or the other that Jesus had anything to do with how you ended up where you are, but you can believe what you like.

[jshm2]

Because the devil in you makes you think you are in "the right". Plus the surgeon and phycologist had bills to pay, so lead you up that path.

[Berethor]

If God exist he sure making some mistakes, a lot of people are born with mental mental illnesses.

[Bananas83]

Well he does exist and he doesn't make mistakes. It's called people disobey the rules and that's the reason why the world is going to hell in a hand basket

[ElizaPam]

@Bananas83 I didn't say God made a mistake he made me trans on purpose for a reason.

[Berethor]

@Bananas83 there your proof that he exist? and many people are born with problems.

[Bananas83]

Look at yourself, you yourself are miracle. Look at the bible, read the book if revelation, things in that chapter are unfolding before your eyes. They're are wars and rumors of wars, new sicknesses will spread across the earth (covid). It's all right there, the proof is there, it's just whether or not you wanna read it. But it sounds like to me, you have your mind made up already and won't even open the bible to give it a chance.

[Berethor]

I know the bible, and homosexuality is forbidden there, and someone born male is male.

[Bananas83]

K, so what's your question then

[Berethor]

Can you use the bible as evidence in the court? and if not then it's not a strong proof.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaJgLBoB_Pw

[Bananas83]

You use the bible to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Why is there a Bible in the court room. I'd use scripture if I'm in the court room. Also if you did the crime, you do the time! Don't get in trouble, follow the rules and you won't have to be in the court room

[Bananas83]

I'm guessing you grew up a believer but then changed your mind because you need proof. That's why believers have faith

[Berethor]

I had a big crisis and God didn't helped me, now it hard for me to believe that God exist.

[Bananas83]

I've been picked on to the brink of suicide, struggled in school, couldn't have kids and have depression. The only reason I am here is because of God. The problem is that when things go wrong in this world, everyone blames God. We have to make the effort to meet God half way and he will do the rest. Have faith in God

[cinflo]

Seriously.. if god ask u to not being you than fuck god.. if god there is.. he will let you being you.. he will let 2 men or girl get married.. every word written in the bible saying eitherwize.. its because it been written by a men that miss interpreted it

[slatyb]

God didn't make you or anyone else. When you get over that notion everything is much easier to understand.

[Ms_Facesitter]

We call that thinking for ourselves. Freedom of choice.

[ElizaPam]

I think that I am a woman.

[Ms_Facesitter]

Yes, to you that sounds like the right choice.

[Danny9369]

@ElizaPam and a very beautiful too 😘

[AngryCarl2]

You're presupposing that God exists, and that he has a plan for everything. A plan which includes serial killers and rabies.

[Preeti161101]

God made always right things but we didn't accept it

[ElizaPam]

Being a boy feels wrong and makes me cry :,(

[Preeti161101]

Why 😭
Even boy and girl eachother counter part made by God 🙏🙏

[ElizaPam]

Being a girl is fun and feels right for me. Being a girl makes me happy and I love being beautiful and I love when guys are sweet to me! <3

[Preeti161101]

No doubt being a girl is best because we are the creaters of families even every one loves you

[Danny9369]

@ElizaPam nothing wrong with that and turned on by them too?

[Anonymous]

Trauma most likely. You probably experienced a trauma when you were really young that maybe you don't even recall that sent you down that path.

[Opinion Owner]

Either way you're one of God's children Trans or not and that's what matters. You love God and he loves you and that's what really matters.

[Juxtapose]

There is no God and I know this because there is no evidence.

[Agape93]

It's just how you are, God has zip to do with it

[ElizaPam]

@Bananas83 God made me trans for a special reason and he thinks Im beautiful!!

[EaterPeter]

Most of us are slaves of our on thoughts

[EaterPeter]

Own *

[Juxtapose]

EXACTLY! People don't know how to compartmentalize their trauma.

[EaterPeter]

Thanks for like!

[msc545]

This is all getting quite old and stale.
