Thanks that is very helpful. I have yet to really talk to anyone about this other then my therapist, so I guess my next step should be to talk to others maybe start with my bishop.

I guess the biggest question would be what should I expect from them? Another question I have is does the church frown on taking hormones? I would also like to add that I am 2-5 months away from the decision to take hormones.

I don't mind talking here :). anything you could tell me about hormones would be great. I have just started seeing a therapist I guess I am male and I think hormones would be the ultimate goal for me.

Thanks for the responses. Torostoros all of that pertains to transsexualism I'm trying to find what the church says about transgender, thanks for posting that though. anatess LGBTQA stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Questioning, and Allied. Guess I should explain the difference between transgender and transsexual. Transgender feel or identify more with the opposite gender then what their birth sex is, that doesn't mean they want to go out and get sex reassignment surgery. Transsexuals feel their sex and gender don't match and seek out means to change that. there is also a big difference between gender and sex, sex being the physical part and gender being what you feel. Now I am transgender and I am a long way away from even thinking surgery. I guess the biggest thing I wonder about is hormones, and if the church has anything to say about them. They and be stopped and the effects can for the most part be reversed.

I know there are a few other threads like this but most seem to be about transsexualism rather then transgender. I am looking for any and all information on the churches stance on transgender. I have read many studies on the matter, so I know a lot about transgender it self, but can't seem to find anything from the church. I am seeing a therapist on the matter, but I am some one who likes to have all the info from as many sides as I can get before I make a move. So if you know anything please let me know.
