It's hard to explain without science termonology.
TAbisically the body has decided the sex of the person, but the persons mind has gone the other way,
(men feel more like women in their mind, and women feel like men in theri mind)
Some don't go as far to get the operatiopn and some do.
But I remember watching a CSI episode witht he transgndered community, and at the end Grissom told his tran friend ( who was just feeling sad at hate crimes)
When we started out as single as organisms, we had teh oportunity to change gender ( like the clown fish, or most animals actually can do that)
so to be born just ONE gender is the mutation.
There is nothing wrong with it, They want acceptance as much as anyone, and the first step is to accept yourself.

Have you ever heard(of course the guy saying it usually is drunk and horny, yet I digress) a guy say "I'm a Lesbian trapped in a man's body!"? Well, that's basically what it means. See, a person(male or female) CAN truly feel as if they are the wrong gender and cannot tolerate their body type and cannot identify with their bodies gender at all. This is where the term "transgendered" starts to come into light. The next step for these people is usually a sex-change operation. Along with some gender counseling to help them more readily identify their new gender as well as hormone therapy, they have good if not better lives afterward. That's basically what "transgendered" means. Although I could be wrong, because I have been wrong in the past you know.

Transgender is a term coined around 1971 by a cross dresser named Virginia Prince (her female persona name).
It does not refer to transsexuals or those who feel they were born in the wrong body, although some transsexuals use the term because it sounds like it should refer to them.
I think her rationale for the term was that cross dressers have one sex (that they do not deny) and like to dress like the opposite sex to look like the other gender, but have no intention of being that gender. So they temporarily cross conventional gender expression boundaries and ultmately return to their own real gender appearance and dress.

What an excellent question. faith is, for sure, the fashion that one's worship takes. subsequently there are 1000's of sorts. faith encompasses a equipment of non secular beliefs and practices. the article of the religion might want to be pretend gods or the actual God. for this reason, there is pretend faith and there is actual. faith can get very fancy or stay straight forward. interior the former case, which include that is in the present day. interior the latter case, which include it grow to be interior the backyard of Eden. What then is worship to me? How do I worship? To worship potential to obey. And to obey potential to worship. both are in detail appropriate; certainly, they are coterminous and can't be separated. specifically, to obey the Sovereign Lord God Jehovah of Armies is to worship Him. I do my imperfect perfect in this regard. I fall on my face and come again as a lot as attempt to attempt back. interior the backyard of Eden, as long as they obeyed Jehovah, Adam and Eve were worshiping him. No temple, no Mosaic regulation, no conferences. in simple terms go away the tree of the be conscious of-how of robust and undesirable on my own. straight forward. The minute they disobeyed, they stopped worshiping Jehovah. similar with the rustic of Israel. The minute they tried to practice a syncretistic faith they stopped worshiping Jehovah. The minute they made the golden calf, they stopped. And on and on. To worship is to obey. To obey is to worship. Hannah J Paul
