What would Jesus think about transsexuals? Are they really committing homosexual acts?

some transexuals are gay and some are straight. who cares if they are or aren't. "committing homosexual acts" isn't just sex, it's love....and love is a gift from God. So yes, why shouldn't God treat them like everyone else?
Would God judge me for loving, or judge you for hating?

The statistics indicate that about 40-50% of transsexuals, both male to female and female to male, after transitioning are attracted to the gender they now physically are. I believe that Jesus loves everyone, and that despite the corruption of the Bible by man his message of love is unconditional and that he loves his trans children just as much as he loves everyone else.
Depends on what you mean by homosexual, after they transition it would be considered homosexual, since they are men/woman having a relationship with the same sex. The better question is why are some Christians so focused on homosexuality, rather than the real problems of society, such as poverty, world hunger, and disease?

I'm Bi, and I do have a psychology background.
I believe a number of issues need to be considered, including their State of Mind, (Parent, Adult, Child) and which is the dominent...Biological inidices are off kilt, to the physical appearance of the individual himself, and whether he can 'Pull it Off' to a straight individual.
Key note to consider here, is that a good number of trans, do appear feminine enough to pass as a woman!
I also believe that a harmonal imbalance is at play here also. We all possess both Testosterone & Progesterone levels.
Some levels for some people are higher than in others.
For example...
Lets say a female has more facial hair than her peers. Her testosterone level is slightly off balance more than her peers.
This does necessarily mean that she will become a lesbian, but chances are she is fitting as a 'Butch' if other scenarios come to play.
There are studies taking place as you read this, to explain why men & woman are gay. In the next few years, we should have the answers to this mysterious behaviour.

They can be straight or gay, the same as anyone else. It is hard to say if they were actually born with the wrong body, as every individual is different. With complications that can happen at birth, we are really not to know if that is possible or not. As medical knowledge advances further over the years, we may eventually have an answer. Whether they are doing wrong is really between them and God and not for us to judge.

transsexuals have a variety of sexual orientations, much like non-transsexuals.
if you really care about what Jesus would think, then say a little prayer tonight and ask him!
are they comitting homosexual acts? it really depends on whether you view transsexuals' sexuality based on their given biological sex, or their transformed new persona.
i am a pre-op M2F transsexual and i consider myself attracted to both sexes, but mostly women..
bottom line, i don't really care about what you or Jesus thinks of me. what matters most is that i am able to find comfort with myself, my own body, my own sexuality.. and only then will i even start to think about finding a sex partner..

Transexuals. I don't even like the term. It gives it merit. Except for certain medical conditions related to hormone imbalance, these are generally people who have developed a perversion or a denial of reality.
The sky isn't red just because you feel that it should be.
I think Jesus would try to help them back toward the life that was given to them by their creator. There is a reason behind form and function.
I treat everyone with respect that I meet, but that doesn't mean I have to be a supporter of every behavior and lifestyle choice under the sun.

LMAO! So, if I feel I'm really a horse, then I must be a horse in a human body!
Say that a guy says he's a woman on the inside. Doesn't he think that having a pair of testicles mean anything? Your gender is determined by your BODY, not your mind!
How do you know it's not an identity crisis?
