Wouldn't it sound silly if I were to answer Yes or No to the question "do transexuals do not believe in God"? That would be like asking if all heterosexuals believe in Evolution or God?
I don't believe anyone can answer your question. As far as God making a mistake??? If you believe in God then you would already know that he makes no mistakes. Do you view people that are different from you as mistakes? God makes us all. Who we are as a person goes much deeper than our sexuality.

Nitpick: "transexuals" don't have a common position on God anymore than non-transexuals do :p
But for me... I do believe in God. And I also believe He accepts me to as a girl, even though I was born male... for the same reason I believe in Him in the first place: the only time I ever clearly felt His presence was when I asked Him about that, and He filled me with a sense of peace and acceptance.
Now, whether my being born male was a mistake, something He did for a reason or just something that He simply allowed to happen... I couldn't say. If I had to guess, I'd say that He has rules that He's set for Himself, and interference beyond telling me that it was ok would break those rules. But that's just a guess.

I'm a transsexual and your question is complicated, so I'm gonna break it down into parts...
First, you ask if transsexuals believe in God..well, I can't speak for all transsexuals, as I'm sure some do and some don't. You also gotta define "belief". Me personally, I believe in a guiding force over the soul, and not so much a "God" as in the Judeo-Christian belief. I don't believe in organized religion, but I am a spiritual person. I prefer to follow the idea that we each have our own "God" and that concept of "God" is different for everyone. What may be morally right for one person, may not be morally right for another, but that doesn't necessarily make one "good" or "bad" as a human being.
Now, answering your other question, by if "God" made a mistake...this can only be answered if you are perceiving "God" in the context of Christianity. If you perceive God THAT way, then you also believe in the idea that God is infalliable and has a divine plan for all humans before they are even born. Therefore, you believe that God doesn't make "mistakes". Ever look at the platypus or wonder why we have tonsils and an appendix if we don't NEED them? Maybe there's a reason for everything, it's just that we can't achieve that highest form of knowledge that only "God" possesses to figure out all the "why"'s of the universe. I don't believe I'm a "mistake". I believe I'm here with a special purpose that was given to me from a higher power. I'm unique. I'm here to serve a special purpose. Maybe that purpose is to spead the idea of diversity. Who knows? If everyone were the same, what ideas or lessons could we really learn from each other? Maybe that's the hidden meaning, it's just some of us don't realize it. You know, back in ancient American Indian culture, it was considered a gift to be transgendered. You were of a higher value, because you could hunt with the men, but also have the sensitivities of a woman, or vice versa. They were considered "two spirited" becasue they possessed the spirit of both male and female. They were revered as almost shamanistic. Too bad, transsexuals aren't still given that level of respect for their unique wisdom they can share due to their ability to have both male and female perspectives.

If you mean the Judeaochristian entity commonly refered to as "God," then I'd have t say some of us do and some of us don't. I'm starting to follow some of the beliefs of my celtic ancestors. People will have a very wide range of opinions on this based on their own personal beliefs. Some might be agnostic and just say that stuff happens. Others might say that their path was predetermined by their divine. Our religious opinions on or birth and the reson for it vary just as much as "normal" societie's opinions on their own births.

I would guess that some TS believe in God or G-d as the orthodox like to write it and some don't. Being TS is a matter of biology and has nothing to do with divine inervention.

The solar is the greater suitable easy that regulations the day. The moon is the "lesser easy" that regulations the night. it quite is not correct that the moon could be seen in the course of the day - it would not "rule" the day, the solar does. Likewise, the moon "regulations" the night, not the solar, and it quite is not correct which you will not see the moon on a clean Moon - that's in simple terms for one night. the classic Israelites have been completely conscious of the stages of the moon. you're attempting to rigidity poetic language right into a "scientific" translation.

God loves to challenge us, he/she gives us all sorts of hurdles to face in our lives to make us stronger. God has made everyone the way they are - including TransGENDER people, it's just the challenge that have to face

Yes many transsexuals believe they were born in the wrong body. And true it's one of those mysteries of why did god do that? But I believe that god doesn't like to make it easy for us live. He/She gives us curveballs to strenghthen us and to make us think.
