All of this was years ago... about 10-12 years i think.. She was so messed up esp with her up bringing. i remember her mother being quite old school and strict to the extent of hitting them but with myself being very loving towards me we were all very young children being brought up the mother was a Sign Lanuage Translator for my mother in the KH. as there was 3 sisters 2 of which are DF- the second sister one of her twins was so badly bullied at school that he commited suicide at the age of 12 or 13 not sure of the age but very young! IT's so tragic ... i was so upset when i heard. The family as i'm aware do not talk to her..

Being Transgendered
by mariemcg inhi my name is marie.
i was brought up in the truth from birth being born xy.
i went through torture as a child being born this way and apearing female in every way, even wearing boy clothes.. at the age of 15 years old decided that going through the amendment of my gender identity was a must and sought medical adv at the earliest oppertunity... this lead to me being thrown out of my home at the tender age of 15.... as time past they accepted me as their daughter a few months later.. thanks to jehovah as i was getting involved in a lot of bad things to keep a roof over my head.. at the age of 20 they paid for my surgery for which i've never looked back from and feel so much more comfortable with my body and myself.. i'm quite sure if i'd remained as my birth sex that i would not be here now writing this.. i started going back to the meetings shortly after having surgery and was met with some love and predjudice to the extent of which toilet i should be using and what clothes i should be wearing.... i've started to study again but am afraid of being stumbled again in regards to going to the meetings... after a lot of prayer and considering scriptures like -.

This is interesting,
/i know of someone in the cong years ago who tried to tried to take their lives 3 times and failed... She's been in and out of hospital... i don't know of her fate now...
Every time she did try to commit suicide she was DF, i bumped into her once and spoke to her and had a few drinks she said to me the last time she was found hanging by her husband with a bedsheet tied to a ceiling light!!! I think there has been a new understanding re suicide maybe more positive ..

Thanks Leolaia.
Well i was told once as a child i was to start acting and apearing more manly... this to me was impossible did they expect me to draw a moustache on my face?? it was a completely alien request i was just being me.. I started going out on the ministry at an early age trying to hide behind a curtain and hopefully maybe forget about my medical problem. i was never baptised but i'm sure if i was i would of been DF.
There is a book that is being studied in the meetings now about the book of acts- there is a bit about the Ethiopian Eunich being baptised by Philip i think then in a foot note it mentions Deut 23:1 that people like myself are not able to enter into gods kingdom and that the eunich was prob a someone looking after the treasury or of a cup bearer.. What do you think?

Hi thanks every one for messages.
Heaven; I've seen a lot of the threads she has written. It sounds like a real ordeal has been going on there. I can really empathise with the situation.

You know what i don't really care what they think, the couple that i've been studying with have been fantastic.. My faith in jehovah has not been destroyed in any way... I still go to the meetings and ignore the people i need to ignore. At the end of the day I feel i'm there for jehovah and no one else..

Hi my name is Marie. I was brought up in the truth from birth being born XY. I went through torture as a child being born this way and apearing female in every way, even wearing boy clothes.. At the age of 15 years old decided that going through the amendment of my gender identity was a must and sought medical adv at the earliest oppertunity... This lead to me being thrown out of my home at the tender age of 15...
As time past they accepted me as their daughter a few months later.. Thanks to Jehovah as i was getting involved in a lot of bad things to keep a roof over my head.
At the age of 20 they paid for my surgery for which i've never looked back from and feel so much more comfortable with my body and myself.. I'm quite sure if i'd remained as my birth sex that i would not be here now writing this.
I started going back to the meetings shortly after having surgery and was met with some love and predjudice to the extent of which toilet i should be using and what clothes i should be wearing...
I've started to study again but am afraid of being stumbled again in regards to going to the meetings... After a lot of prayer and considering scriptures like -
1 Cor 7:24- i understand that this is re circumcision but would the principal stretch as far as my situation?
Then you have Jesus talking about Eunichs being born from the womb in Mat 19:12, and Isa 56: 3-6. the thing that i find difficult to take on board is would Johovah and Jesus want me to suffer or even me commit suicide or remain alive having surgery that goes against the principles that the Governing Body preaches.
I have accepted that i would never be able to get baptised now because i do feel that jehovah will not reject me but as he has been answering my prayers and that no temtation will be put before me beyond what i can bear( 1 Cor 10:13).

Ok most prob never be able to get baptisted but with Isaiah 56:3-6 and mat 19:12 i feel there is hope and Jehovah would of wanted the best for me and for me not to suffer beyond what i can bear.

Transgender - A Case of Tested Friendship
by Amazing infriendship comes in all stages, shapes, and sizes, from the very close, as brothers, built over a lifetime, to the budding kind that has only a few months or a year or two.
i have been friends with sam (fictious name) for about seven years.
we are not real close friends, but have a good quality relationship that is mostly confined to the office.. recently, sam told me that he had an issue with a female agent who tried to get him fired.
