I've been dealing with something in my life that is very hard to talk about with fellow Christians. I'm going to step forward and bring it out on to the table to see if maybe you guys can help me.

I have these thoughts where sometimes I can be male or female, I switch genders on a regular basis. The term that I used for myself for the longest time was Gender Queer. Considering that God looks down on terms like Transsexualism and such.. I don't know where to classify myself. I'm biologically female, but.. I don't feel it. I feel like I should be both, but.. obviously, I didn't come out that way. I've prayed over and over about this, I was hoping to get some kind of answer into which direction I should be heading. I pay attention to my surroundings in hopes that God will show me a sign, I know he will, it's just a matter of when. I have to admit, I'm really getting frustrated with waiting around for an answer. Is this just Satan playing mind tricks on me?

I'm hoping that someone can help me, I don't know where to turn besides here. God I can talk to, but.. he doesn't talk back in the human form of communication so, it's just a teensy bit hard. Especially considering that I am slow with humans as it is.. I don't think this will be as obvious as I need it to be.

I think that coming somewhere like this, even is a big step in a good direction. So can anyone possibly, from what I said, maybe give me some kind of.. insight or.. sense of direction??

If you have any questions, ask. I probably didn't explain that thouroughly enough as it's 3:10 am here. I'm pretty dead beat. xD

The best thing for you to do is to pray in expectation. God won't answer your prayers if you don't think he will. One of the things that we as Christians face more than anybody else is the constant attacking of Satan. He slips subiliminals into everything we do in our lives. Sometimes these things take root and fester like an infection and that is what poisons our minds. God obviously designed you as female. Despite the fact that you are female, you don't have to act how society tells you to be feminine. You don't have to dress all preppy or whatever and do all that stereotypical stuff. you just have to be you and that is all God wants you to be. He created us in His image, so we should reflect Christ.

Well said, Haven. Have you discussed this with anyone else, say your parents or doctor?

I've talked to my mom about it, mostly because I went to her because she's a Psychology major in college. All my friends know and such. So.. Yea. xD
I'm just.. I guess a lil lost is all.

Heaven: I do pray in expectation. All the time actually. Like I said, I know he will answer me, it's just a matter of when and if I cam too oblivious to see it. x.x I know I don't have to act female all the time. It's just that.. I hate myself so much for the fact that I am. My personality switches as well with it. It's really hard to explain, to be honest. ^^

Well, I don't think that I know enough about you or your situation to start speculating what may or may not help you. All I can say is that we will continue to pray for you and hope that you get these feelings all sorted out. We'll always be here to listen (well, read) when you need to talk (well, write.)

lol, it's "Haven," not "Heaven." It's good that you do pray expectantly. Like [L.O.S.E.R.] said, we'll keep praying for you. ninja

I'm sure you'll be fine. Pray in expectation, like Haven said, and you'll be fine. You might not get over the feelings you're having, but the Bible says that "all things work for the good of those who love Him"... from Romans somewhere. So, even if it doesn't all work out in this life, something good'll come out of it. smile
