Question regarding transsexualism in the Quran
-
A lot of people then use the story of Lot, but the connection to homosexuality has also been disproven many times (the conclusion seems to be that this story is about rape in general. Indeed including men, but never specifically about men) Whilst a few other verses in the Quran seem to confirm that Mohammed (pbuh) seems to be familiar with some trans or gay people, but his opinion about them is about their personality, and not once is referred to their gay/trans identity itself being a problem.
Peace be upon those who really desire peace.
peace and good to see you sister,
actually quran does not support homosexulity, but if something is not in black and white it does not mean u can do it,
these are just my findings, and anybody can deny it, but what we need to do, look for evidence in the shape of reference.i could not recall any event in quran that give permission of homo.
peace and take care sorry if from my comments if u feel bad dnt take anything personal my motif was to give opinions in the light of logic ,

Greetings.
First of all i'd like to apologise to saying that some people don't do any effort, because in fact, i do know know if they did or not.
Now about your reaction it does defenitely not support it. Neither does it condemn it. It is neutral. So people following the book should be neutral about it, and judge about the wether or not the person in case has evil intentions for doing it, but not for doing it in itself. (just like with many sins, they have to be put in their context)
And about the soy argument gender-diversity and different sexualities have always been there, in almost each and every culture. Though in thinly populated cultures like the classic Arabian age, it was rare, so not considered of much relevance. Thing is that our population is growing massively to the point of overpopulation. Besides, all linked articles do really sound like scams science. Though that soy thing might be a signficant catalyst, it's in no way to blame for the existance of diversity between humans.
From a standpoint of evolution, then homosexuality and transsexuality are a perfect answer to overpopulation. If it happens in other animals, it happens for a reason. Those reasons are either protecting the species against underpopulation or against overpopulation (as overpopulation will lead to extinction too). Now evolution is God. It's Gods plan for the universe, which none of our humans knows until it happens.
None of you should be obliged to support us. But if you truly value the word of God, you should also 'let us be'. Telling your opinion is totally okay. But punishing us isn't. Please don't say 'you are wrong'. Please instead say 'i think you are wrong'.
And @comrox, inevitably, this will be an eternal struggle, as long as God creates homosexuals and transsexuals, they will try to get into dialoge because they want to be recognised as a creation of God. Why does he creates them? That's his decision. He will have a reason for it, and if you ever have the chance to meet him, he will tell the reason why he makes people like that. He has a path for everyone, and for some people, that path is unusual, whilst for other people, that path is very normal. Also the way people act around those who they meet is part of God's plan, as he wants you to meet these people, and wants you to get into discussions. But what he expects you do to is a mystery for us. We can only use logic. Though i might be using 'female logic which according to men is flawed anyway'.

@ sinem or aisha whatever you name sister, peace.
now i can understand what you feel and how you feel , in all this its not your mistake , personally i knnow lot of boys who is suffering the same problem, naturally they didnot attract towards opposite sex. on this basis they have full right of representing their rights and dialouge between everybody , society , religion,
america britan scandiavian they even approve the law of same sex marriages , due to lot of disturbance between same sex couples , annyway our subject is whether in the light of quran.
actually God will decide and punish everybody according to the knowledge he/she have in whatesoever manner.with just regarding circumstances and power of an individual, let say
if accidently somebody get killed from you, its different
if you kill somebody due to jealousy,envy,money . its murder
if you kill somebody in self defence. its not a murder,same in your case what i analyse is,
if a normal male make a relation with normal male its illogical and can be breach the boundries of limit, but people still doing it ,
but in the case of gender confusion somebody consider himslef/herself female(x) and then make a relation with male(Y), its different scenerio, now the point here is the male(y) who made a relation with female(X) its unnatural becoz atleast the male(y) knows its not opposite sex, one of them must be doing something not accidently by planningly.
in third case , if a female consider himself male, and male consider himself female , its comes to mental health isssues and on that basis if they make a relatiosnhip there is no sin upon them.
did you see i m not saying your son is faulty or he have to punish and so on, trust me , the one who creates your son its allah and God will decide how to judge between people, if somebody born with a fault of gender its not his/her mistake. i cant say its the mistake of allah , i cant even say what is the mechansim of gender science. but what i get from the reading of quran its states that its male and female partners who are in marriage are allowed to physical with eachother , rest of the things i dnt want to comment ,
and about lot its the only case of homosexulity find in quran,
before stating anything lem me clear some things from this event ,
their major crimes,
1 sex with same partner
2 murder and robbery and rape
3 did not consider these things as sin( its mean they already know its wrong but dnt want to change).in light of all this God planned a punishment for them which was unavoidable even abraham try to ask God about the delay in punishment. but when Allah decide punishment its something we need to ponder they were commiting gross sins thats why punishment of God due on them, what was their major
last two things 2 and 3 they are common in every nation almost still it happen , but about the first crime it was something new people may did it before but not openly , the nation of lot did this openly and once lot adress them like that,
what happen with you guys, you are doing such a evil which nobody on the planet of earth did before are you not afraid of God punishment
on the contraray the nation keep an eye on angels who come in the shape of human. there lot offered his daughters(nation girls) but they clearly said to lot you know we are not interested in girls.
from above two things its clearly understood that two normal males cannot make a relation if they make it , allah is not happy with them. and one nation is destroyed already due too this crime.
we can discuss more . and dnt worry no body will stop you to put you claim infront of everybody , we learn from eachother. its better to share and think about ideas instead of being alone.
peace and take care

Hm, one thing i'd like to add though, and that is that they are not 'mentall illness' but 'physical illness'. It's not the soul that needs fixing, because the soul is eternal and can not be fixed/can only get fixed by God himself.
It is not right to try to adapt the soul to the body. It is right to try to adapt the body to the soul, though. (but one should not rush into such things, as i've repeatedly said, because getting to know one's own soul enough to understand it does take many years)
Additional body modifications (plastic surgery) is also a controversial point, on which my opinion is that if it is done as defense towards people who would harm them, it is justified, but if it is done for astethic reasons, it is wrong. (trying to look realistic vs. trying to look pretty). Altough looking pretty in asian standars is considered to be a sign of 'working hard'. I'm not sure yet how to judge that though.Also, i'd like to point out the difference between homosexuality and homoromanticism. The first one is pure sexual attraction, the second is pure emotional attraction. Does someone base their choices on sexual attraction (or similarly even more shallow things like money or politics), then it is a sin (this is also true for heterosexuals, bisexuals, asexuals, etc.) does someone base their choices on emotional attraction, it is never a sin. A soul falling in love with another soul is the most beautiful thing there is.
For example i don't feel sexually attracted to my girlfriend (who is aware of my gender issues, and rather supportive about it), but i do feel an enormous emotional attraction. I don't see this as a sin for either her or me. It's not a lie either, because 1) i'm totally honest about everything towards her and 2) my emotional attraction is very real.I think i've stated before that 'having sex just for the sake of having sex' is a wrong thing, and any relationship based on that is a sin, no matter if it is heterosexual or homosexual.
And i'm not all negative about you guys. So far you've shown to be more open minded and willing to discuss things than the holebi community itself.

Question you chose a girl as a mate and you speak of souls.
What do you small like is it a womens scent or a male's?
What's coming out of your pores defines a but of who you are
Maybe you are not sexually inclined to your girlfriend because of emotional reasons like having everything need I in a companion from simply being around her again a chemical is being pumped out of her pores.
You should never ignore the physical chemicals bio-chems or artifice chems.
You choose her can you choose her again blindfolded?
Please examine the chemical side of your soul theory and more the story of prophet Joseph when woman tried to pull him away from his "true self"
The part if him that "wouldn't do a thing like that"
It was only a matter of time before these women would get the idea to chemically attract Joseph to them
So ALLAH places him in jail for a time.Being both make and female I'm sure you struggle with what to tell people but hopefully your done with those high school-ish days. You are who you are and want what you want, one helps you define the other maybe you just want peace of mind not to prove anything to anyone like everyone should. When it comes to instinct it's your eyes you want to avoid using if being with a guy seems gay to you then maybe your just a guy. The male is usually the dominant and stronger in DNA and genetics and even in language. Does any of this help with the way you see yourself?
Also the not wanting sexual relations with women is caused more by mental abuse from confused people trying to dictate your life. I'm sure you try to but there's this whole board on a fullcrum where you have to break the fullcrum and not remove the board.
Sex can't have anything to do with proving dad right or wrong and then you probably lose focus and say it's not the right time for me to make this decision.
Don't let anyone mess you up it's ALLAH who you should be on that balance for.
Peace -
Well, i'll explain more on that. The relationship started in a phase of denial. More or less in a last effort to prove i'm male. But i only went ahead with it because she was able to understand my feminin sides. I've talked to many many girls over summer and it all felt wrong, so i choose her because she was clearly different. Don't know, maybe she's mentally less female than others?
I do enjoy being physically with her, except sexually. But i don't think that would be different when being with a man. All things seem to suggest that i'm asexual when it comes to physical attraction and bisexual when it comes to mental attraction. Meaning that it's the personality i care about, not the sex. As long as i'm not forced in the male gender role, that's fine by me. I defenitely would feel better with being in a full female gender role, but i think it's good enough as it is with her. After all, i've talked to so many people in the past that i understand how rare it is to find someone i can have an emotional click with, considering my personality is extemely complex.
I've never been abused in my life and have no sexual traumas. I sexually just never felt as a man and always had the feeling that i should have been the woman instead.
Being with a guy doesnt seem gay to me, though. But it's been taking me almost 30 years to even consider the possiblity that i might be attracted to them. It's a possibility. And yes, in my fantasy, i usually prefer men. But one should never confuse fantasy with what someone really wants or needs. (altouhg lot of people aren't emotionally stable enough to see the difference) Besides, i don't need to fantasize about my GF, because she's real.
I for sure hate being dominant. The natural thing for me is feeling equal. I always hated doing things alone. And society here is one that forces you to do everything alone. Which is just unnatural to me.The only right thing i can do is being totally honest with my girlfriend, and that's what i'm doing. And being honest to everyone involved. Only by being open about it, i can find my right path. Even if that means getting hurt or getting ridiculed.

I don't really know wht is the interet in puttig avery perso into boxes ad say these are the homos, these are the issies, these arethe viragos, these are the male haters these are...
The fact is that each person is her own, her own genetic self and her own evolution of tht genetic self and that the mania of socity of havig by all means every persn fitted into one of he boxes condemns many peole to suffering for feeling abnormal, a misfit, somethinng she should not be.
Of course there are asexuals, why houldn't there be. Just as there are eople who have a very weak sense of smell ornot very gregarious. So what there are many other that are gregarious to compensate. And then there arethose who constantly hammer that wome are these and menn are that as a univerfsal rule, even though that universal ruly is only achieved i imagination and tht the attemppt to make it intothe real existence harms many people who do not fit in it, cannot it in it and do not want to fit i it so that those who push for such unifeormation of humanity ca feel vndicatedand selfsatisfied.

Indeed, and there is so much interet in deriving rules from the Qur'n but we rarely contemplte the Qur'an from he point of view of how much width and depth of fredom it leaves to people to be themselves with just the limits it sets without deducing fantsies from the own views or he societal views of the moment. And the limits the Qur'an sets, just like the limits acknowledged by the bet in societies and the best societies are those minimally necessary to avoid that ome peole imose on others on whatever account.
We sould really xamie the Qur'an for seeing those things that we take for gratd but for which the Qur'an does nto vouch at all and the injuctions to keep from gossiping, indiscretion and slandering. The Qur'an give as plenty of room, why do we make so may efforts to restrict that roomand make it smaller?
Whe we restrict the individual room by any means or for whatever reaso we ar giving ouselves into the power fo the mobs, the mobs being fromthe government to the rule of the majority or the media or any power other than God, God who manifests trhough our own conscience, our fitra. And we do have the ower and the right to make mistakes and also to correct and redress mistakes without that being an acknowledgemet of any worldly poer or authority.

"different" sexualities and "gender diversity" is a meme
the fact is this the vast majority of the people born on earth are either male or female, and only an infinitesimal portion is NOT that
it's all about statistics
we can't change society as if transexuality was the norm or as if homosexuality was the norm, and in the west, they are changing their societies as if homosexuald, transexuality, and other such abnormalities were the norm

I know i shouldnt respond to trolls. But i'm friendly, so i will reply.
It's obviously not a meme. If it were a meme, it would be a new thing, popularised by the internet. But if you had some knowledge about it you'd see it clearly isn't. Internet just makes them more visible. No-one ever has claimed to be trans or gay because it's a fashionist thing.
The reason people like us are rising in numbers is not because internet popularises it. It's because a lot has not been registrated in the past, and therefore, present-day statistics are more reliable. (besides, archeology seems to suggest it's always been there and it's always been a relatively normal thing. Though generally not accepted, it's always been there)Not exactly what's happening here in the west though. Society is still rather heteronormative and people not fitting into the binary still don't have a lot of rights.
It is also a statistic that people not fitting into heteronormativity or cisgender are significant in number and my estimations are that they are around 50-75%. That is of course including people who aren't far from the cisgender heteronormative, but are distinct enough to consider them different. (mostly making up bisexual, bigendered, asexual and agendered people) Whilst homosexuality and the transgender spectrum are estimated to be 5 to 20% of the population. Official statistics will rather say 1 to 5%, but we all know there exist a lot of closeted people and people in denial.
My estimations are that heterosexuality and cisgenders are making up a mere 25 to 50%, so claiming it's the norm is just as ridiculous.It's clear you're underestimating how normal these 'abnormalities' are. Statistics don't mean a lot in some places, because in countries where 'abnormal' people are oppressed, you'll find that the vast majority is hiding it or in denial, therefore the statistics will be low. For example, China is 100% atheist. But nobody really believes that over 1 and a half billion people are all atheist... Whilst in countries where these things are normal (for example Thailand, Philippines, even muslim countries like Indonesia), you see that lot of people are trans/gay and that meeting trans and gay persons is indeed a daily occurence and you're certain to have one in your family. They aren't accepted, but claiming they don't exist is impossible over there.
So unfortunately, your fact is not a fact at all. So thanks for trying to anger me by trolling, but it didn't work, i'm not angry at all.
We can indeed not fully change society to minorities. But society should accomodate for major minories, because they're simply too large to ignore. You can't go claiming the majority of people fit into the cisgender heteronormative idea, because they clearly don't. And the Quran does not claim that either. Because the Quran values scientific research, and therefore scientific breaktroughs will allow you to read the same passages in the Quran in a different light.
Are we the norm? No. Are we normal? Yes.If you have trouble accepting things that aren't even new. Well, then i'm sorry for you, but sooner or later you'll have to accept that some things exist, even if you'd wish they didn't. You can't just simply ignore things you don't understand. You can't extinguish us either. We'll keep coming back. That's how humans were created. If you make a point out of ignoring God's creation, i'm sure God won't exactly feel flattered by that behaviour.

I thin that Yosemite puts people in boxes but from the side of the tontestatarians of Yosemite there is also some puttin ginto boxes. I do not doubt that some people are genueinely determined at birth as to their sexual atractions, but, for instance, it is not true that "No-one ever has claimed to be trans or gay because it's a fashionist thing." ot may be claiming it, but out of curiosity in part and out of being not in the norm, which mamny people at certain times like very much to do, that I am sure exists and I hav known them.
It does matter how many people this or that, the very Qur'an says that the majority will lead you astray. Attemptin no to be the majority (run of the mill) for some peopple is a great temptation. There are many reason which are nnot necessarily sexual why a peron may end up changing or choosing something willfully not because by nature he or she is forced to.
The point is that many peoppple, may be most of us are conditionned and there are very few things that are solely "natural". The sentimental, emotional, males who may be like dressing up and show tendencies qualified as feminine, indeendent of ny exual likings have it very difficult and in fact the best part for them traditionally is to turn outright sisies because otherwise they just cannot break their own emotional a psychologial make up to satisfy "society". That is not a choiceor a natural condition but one forced on them because other issues are closed.
Equally, many women turn lesbians simply because males are too much for them to ut up ith and they want a life with less struggle and and more emotional and companionship rewards.
In fact one might think that a portion of same gender attractions are deried from the fact the different gender one are simply too costly in human terms.
What is certain is that the end station of ending up wantig or having a sex companion of different sex or same sex is not reachd necessarily by eery eprson by the same way or for the same reasons. To pretend that it is so would be one more way to box people in.

i'm talking about a biological facti do not know a chinese person, but i can safely say that, through the empirical research that has happened concerning this subject, the probability that the first chinese person i ever meet is a normal person, not transsexual or not homo, would be a heterosexual cis chinese person
it's a question of mathematics
The point is that many peoppple, may be most of us are conditionned
research shows otherwise
society doesn't condition us to be male or female, real life experiments on children has been made, it was catastrophic, it was a nightmare for the kids, they would be forced to be the sex they are not, and they went through deeply traumatising events
everything is natural, i'm not talking about natural, you're saying i made an appeal to nature which i did not, i said that by observation and through empirical research, the majority of people born on earth (as of now, unless we pollute water sources with estrogen agents or estrogen like agents) are cis heterosexual people

The human body has a sex and an identity bound to this body through the flow of hormones. The instinct of the body will be driven by the body's sex.
That does however not account for what decisions one may make detached from the body by their spirit. One can however not escape from the "whispers" (suggestions) of the body with its instinct depending on its sex. In some cases it seems the bodily structure is disturbed and some bodies have an anomalous flow of hormones causing them to possess a deviating sexual orientation. This is not the standard natural orientation.
Instincts can be causing real personality problems and it is hard to resist their call even if one would like to, especially those of the reproduction functionality and intimate adherence to a mate.
I personally think one should abstain from sex whatsoever to more easily handle its calling. Otherwise it is easy to become a slave to the flow of hormones. According to that factor in homosexuality it would be more logical to be detached from the mating completely as intimate homosexual interaction does not lead to reproduction. It is all about physical stimulation and thus primitive pleasure.
But homosexual or not is a preference, just as it is a preference to abstain from copulation at all. I would call it vain and a waste of resources to go through a transgender operation for the sake of pleasing the beast of oneself, but that is my opinion. We have no reason to dislike such people who let have such surgery or think less of them, it is something they themselves choose to do. It would be natural if one would like a "normal" (sterotypical) life according to the instinct to undergo that surgery and I would not blame them if they like to live to indulge. It is easy to fall for the instinct (satan).
Be well

Yosemite, you have not answered me or anything I said. You did not understand any of it and it is logical since I was not answering you or addressing you at all nor anything that you may have said except as an introduction sayig that which I was not addressing.
So while I have nothing against you putting forward your views as many times as you like, I point clearly out that what you have said has not relation with what I was getting at nor akes it any clearer or more understandable.

@ Man Of Faith Your post seems to assume that gender dysphoric feelings are driven by instinctual feelings, whilst it's driven by feelings by the soul. It's the male instinctual feelings that cause the dysphoria, the detachement from their own body. No matter how hard you try to contol these instincts or not, if they don't align to your soul, it causes pain to your soul.
A transgender operation has as purpose to try to align the body and their instincts as much as possible to the identity of the soul. Not vice versa.
Doing surgery is not 'giving in to the instinct', it is exactly done to eliminate the instinct. It is exactly resisting those male instincts what causes pain in the soul of a transgender female.
Please understand that transsexuality is not a 'sexual orientation' (therefore i prefer the use of the word transgender), and sexual preference is totally irrelevant to their 'decision' (altough it isn't really a decision, as God made us with this dysphoria, for a reason only he knows)
For the same reason, a few posts ago, i explained the difference between sexual attraction and emotional attraction between people. Homosexuality is also a wrong word (i prefer to say a word like gay) as it implies people are only doing it for sexual reasons, ignoring the fact that a significant part of them does it for emotional reasons. Again it is not a choice, as you can't control your soul. You can only try to control the body, and that's the whole point of the discussion. -

My estimations are that heterosexuality and cisgenders are making up a mere 25 to 50%, so claiming it's the norm is just as ridiculous.It's clear you're underestimating how normal these 'abnormalities' are. Statistics don't mean a lot in some places, because in countries where 'abnormal' people are oppressed, you'll find that the vast majority is hiding it or in denial, therefore the statistics will be low. For example, China is 100% atheist. But nobody really believes that over 1 and a half billion people are all atheist... Whilst in countries where these things are normal (for example Thailand, Philippines, even muslim countries like Indonesia), you see that lot of people are trans/gay and that meeting trans and gay persons is indeed a daily occurence and you're certain to have one in your family. They aren't accepted, but claiming they don't exist is impossible over there.
So unfortunately, your fact is not a fact at all. So thanks for trying to anger me by trolling, but it didn't work, i'm not angry at all.
We can indeed not fully change society to minorities. But society should accomodate for major minories, because they're simply too large to ignore. You can't go claiming the majority of people fit into the cisgender heteronormative idea, because they clearly don't. And the Quran does not claim that either. Because the Quran values scientific research, and therefore scientific breaktroughs will allow you to read the same passages in the Quran in a different light.
Are we the norm? No. Are we normal? Yes.If you have trouble accepting things that aren't even new. Well, then i'm sorry for you, but sooner or later you'll have to accept that some things exist, even if you'd wish they didn't. You can't just simply ignore things you don't understand. You can't extinguish us either. We'll keep coming back. That's how humans were created. If you make a point out of ignoring God's creation, i'm sure God won't exactly feel flattered by that behaviour.
mathematics is not troll
"It is also a statistic that people not fitting into heteronormativity or cisgender are significant in number and my estimations are that they are around 50-75%."
a number that came out of nowhere
it's a fact that lgbtism is a trend in the USA today, and the cool kids all want to be some kind of special snowflake
we see where this is taking the USA, they started talking about STD epidemics
bravo!

A soul does not have gender, Sinem.
It is the body which gives gender belonging with its flow of hormones. It is the body you have to control, like you write, but being homosexual or not is due to the body with its instinct and not the Spirit (soul). If you did not have the body you would not have a desire for any gender or sexual intercourse for that sake.
The discussion from my part was to point out that such desires to redesign the body to be another sex is from the instinct as you spiritually have no logical reason to undergo such procedures. If the gender identity causes a problem in any person then they are identifying themselves with the body they are within for sure. This is not wrong but it is not right either as it is not the correct focus in this world, i.e. bodily focus is not a remedy to get out of it.
Homosexuality can have its roots in various reasons such as that the soul has had a female sex body in the past and made a strong imprint to it. Any other explanation does not make sense since they seem trapped within the body of a different sex yet the body has its authentic design and flow of hormones. This is when the soul causes homosexuality. Having gender identity whatsoever in your life is nothing to strive for and could thus explain the reason why they recycled into another body rather than reach salvation.
I have also periodically had such problems, but I have let them be and instead accept the situation and learn to live with the functionality of this body in which I was placed with the Spirit that is mine. What I would like and who I am are two different things. I have also learned to focus on much more important matters than to waste my time with bodily impulses.
Be well
