Alrighty, I'd like to add a little bit of information that may be helpful here. Firstly, I will admit, I'm transgender, so eh, bias may be a thing. Something I've heard mentioned in here really struck me as interesting, while I'm personally not LDS, I'm Protestant Christian, the belief differences do strike me as interesting, and I couldn't tell you why I Googled this topic this fine night. Anywho, I caught wind of someone mentioning, "Our lack of ability in technology" to help alleviate this issue. From what I've heard, some describe this as a fleshy desire stemming from environmental factors. Well, what I will say is that we do have SOME science here. There isn't a whole lot of science in homosexuality, but transgender, especially transsexual, well, neuroscience can be quite beneficial. Has anyone seen the research done on fMRI brainscans of the brains of transsexuals and compared architecture between their identified gender and those who are born with sex and gender matching? As you'd guess from how I led this, even before hormone replacement, a transsexual's brain more closely resembles the gender they identify as, not the sex they were pigeon-holed into when born (Hormone replacement further modifies this to bridge the gap and finish whatever was not finished with time). So no, God does not make mistakes, but things which are human, are imperfect. And thus, the human birth-giving process, has its quirks. Now, here is my theory as to how things go down, so past this point starts to get into my of an informed speculation than actual-backed science. I'm of the belief that when developing a male in the womb, the hormone washes are ample enough to develop the proper genetalia (is this too explicit?) as to avoid an intersex condition, but for some reason or another, the brain does not follow the masculinization process in addition. The architecture continues to hold to boucning between the left and right hemispheres instead of the normal male's front and back dominant (it is proven that women have a very strong tendency when thinking to bounce the electric impulses form side to side while males rely on front to back). That's also why you see transsexual's tending to be left-handed or ambidextrous, the brain function is different. I'll spare my personal story as, meh, I think enough have been provided and I'm not one to partake in theatrics. That being said, I think it's an issue the individual needs to heavily focus on with God. My ignorance shows here, so I'm not sure the LDS belief system on if they have to go through their leaders first to do this. What I will say, is that people make mistakes, it's a very hard issue to work out even for those going through it, and likely near-impossible for those who arn't. My opinion on this is that whether churches are fond of my existence or attendence or not, what matters is that in death, there is only one Individual who's opinion will matter. They can say I'm a horrible sinner all day long, but as long as He is well-aware of what I'm feeling, fighting with, going through, and my intentions, I think that's what counts most.
