The harsh reality of being transgender in a Muslim Arab family 

Thank you!! I appreciate you ❤

100%. Thank you, I appreciate it.

Thank you sir 🙏🫶

It's slightly different for every trans person, some just know from early childhood that they're a boy or girl "on the inside", but for others (like me), it's more complicated to figure out. There's no words for what it "feels like" to be a gender in the same way you can't describe what happiness or temperature "feels like". Signs of being trans are things like always wishing you were the other gender, being distressed by your physical development at puberty, your body feeling wrong because of its gendered characteristics, unease when someone calls you she and feeling happy when called he, among many others, but it all comes down to seeing yourself as a different gender from your sex and not having any other explanation for these things (eg as a coping mechanism after abuse).

Experts say this transgender stuff and even homosexuality came from trauma.I’m a woman and I don’t kno what being a woman feels like. When they tell u I feel the opposite gender that’s how u kno they don’t even kno what they saying

@@callum.timothya lot of people felt they were Napoleon

It's just another form of con...fusion it's not real

Haha my family is not accepting but yeah 100% agree :/

Are you proud of your comment? Lol strange behavior

@@PolaBeaver it is what it is 🤷🏻‍♂️

Lol a lot of assumptions being made here with no knowledge whatsoever. Let's start with the fact that being trans is not a western concept. You need to get that through your head first. Secondly, I probably have more of a grasp on who I truly am than you do, and I'm very much aware of my culture and religion, thank you very much. Just because I have lost touch with certain family members at this time, doesn't mean I gave up anything. I am happy, I am comfortable, and I am alive. I am surrounded by community where I am currently as well as from every country I have ever been to. I am accepted and cared for. Don't project your miserable life on to me lol. You don't know me, so don't act like you do. God bless and goodbye.

@@Elmocello طيب، اذا انت عربي من الطبيعي ان تعرف ان التحول حرام فلا داعي ان اذكرك. و اغلب المجتمعات الغربية فاسدين اخلاقيا و رجعين في مجالات كثيرة هذا واقع لاجدل فيه. اغلب الغرب عنصرين، و ينظرون إلى العرب نظره دونيه. اكبر مثال ردات فعل الاجانب على ما يحدث في الشرق الأوسط، اقرأ كتب المستشرقين عن الشرق الاوسط و العرب و ستكتشف اساس الحضاره الغربية، العنصرية، و العنجهيه ضد اي انسان ليس منهم، شئت ام أبت سوف تستوعب ان مالك غير بني جلدتك. من اسلوبك و اسلوب حديثك تبين لي ان في قلبك غلو و قد تبنيت افكار غربية تشدد من هذا الغلو. التحول الجنسي فكر غربي و من اول من شخص المرض دكتور ألماني كان ينتقد مدرسة علم النفس و كان يقوم بتجارب على الناس دون اي مرجع علمي ثابت. اديلوجيات الكوير غير ثابته منطقيا و لا تحترم العقل السليم. قبل ان تهاجم بني جلدتك اللذي يريد لك الخير تأكد أن نحن العرب الأصيلين لا يتم خداعنا و تلاعب بنا بسهولة، نحن نعرف كل شيء عن الغرب و اديولوجيات التي كونت الغرب. اذا كنت تفتخر بعروبتك، فلابد ان تعلم أن العرب الاقحاح لا يخالطان مع مجتمع او قيم لاتتفاوق معهم، العربي الأصيل حر ولا يتصالح مع من حاول تقيده او تحطيمه. اتمنى يوم من الأيام ان تعود إلى وعيك. الله يأجر اهلك على ما ابتلاهم، و كان الله في عونهم. الله يهديك.

@Elmocello Ok, if you are an Arab, it is natural for you to know that transation is forbidden, so there is no need for me to remind you. Most Western societies are morally corrupt and regressive in many areas. This is an indisputable fact. Most of the West are racists, and they look at the Arabs in an inferior light. The biggest example is the reactions of the West to what is happening in the Middle East. Read the books of Orientalists about the Middle East and the Arabs and you will discover the basis of Western civilization, racism, and arrogance against any human being who is not one of them. Whether you like it or not, you will realize that you have no one other than your flesh and blood. From your style and the way you speak, it appears to me that there is extremism in your heart and that you have adopted Western ideas that exacerbate this extremism. Transsexualism/Transgenderism is a Western thought, and one of the first to diagnose the disease was a German doctor who criticized the school of psychology and was conducting experiments on people without any established scientific reference. Queer ideologies are not logically stable and do not respect common sense. Before you attack your fellow Arabs who want good for you, make sure that we, the authentic Arabs, are not easily deceived and manipulated. We know everything about the West and the ideologies that created the West. If you are proud of your Arabism, you must know that real Arabs do not mix with a society or values ​​that do not agree with them. The authentic Arab is free and does not reconcile with those who try to restrict or destroy him. I hope one day you will get your head right. If you can't fathom theses Arab values, just don't call yourself Arab, be Western and khalas, there's no difference between you and them. May allah reward your family for what afflicted them , and may allah help them.

@Elmocello we will see. You lost yourself. It's apparent. At least I have my family, culture, tradition, community, and most importantly, Islam. What do you have other than hurt? Was it worth it? I just had to give advice. That's all, I don't know from Adam.

Yet here I am, Muslim and trans. Maybe it's time we critically think a little more and stop blindly following other human beings without researching further into a topic or trying to understand people who are different to us. I don't find my existence ironic at all, I think it's a powerful existence which strengthens my faith everyday.
