I actually lived it for decades. I dealt with it since childhood in the 1960s and 70s, and I gave into it in the 90s, 'transitioning'as much as anyone can... hormones, beard removal, vaginaplasty, the whole deal. I lived and worked as a female for 30 years, and no one knew unless I told them. During that time, I always knew I was a man pretending to be a woman, unlike most today who believe they are actually a woman. Only Men Can Be Trans Women.
I'm also a Christian now. Before you make assumptions about me though, I'm not going to condemn you, call you names or mistreat you, nor would I condone anyone else doing that.
I would first tell you that you were created in the image of God, and as such, you are worthy of dignity, respect and love. And, it is not hateful to speak truth and it is not loving to affirm a lie. When I say to you, you are living a lie, and you are not a woman, I'm speaking truth in love, not to hurt you.
Gender Dysphoria, or what it used to be called, Gender Identity Disorder, destroyed my marriage, family relationships, and my body. I wasted a huge chunk of my life, and I wish I knew then what I know now.
I want you to know there is another way, a better way. If you have ever told a lie, or stolen something or dishonored your parents, you stand condemned in the eyes of your creator. Like me, you deserve eternal punishment because you have sinned against Holy God.
But Jesus came to Earth, put on flesh and lived the sinless life none of us can. He took the punishment you and I earned for ourselves. We committed the crime, He paid our fine. He rose again conquering death on our behalf.
Once I learned this, I could see my sin in its true light and I could see why I needed a savior and I was crushed. I repented and put my faith in Jesus, and I was born again and granted eternal life in God's kingdom. After that happened, I was transformed. I no longer wanted to live as trans and I couldn't detrans fast enough. I'm now living as God designed me and I couldn't be happier.
This gift of love is available to you too and it is my hope that you will someday know the truth that I know. What you do with this information is up to you. In any case, I sincerely wish you well.
