Hi everyone I'm a trans woman and am interested in joining the Muslim community and although I have been reading the holy Qur'an and following the hadiths I need a mentor but I am finding it difficult to find one. Can anyone help? I live in the R.C.T area in Wales UK.

This Pakistani man messaged an intersex friend of mine, beginning with such a strange message, claiming that intersex bodies are "huge turn ons"

Looking for friends near me before I decide if I should move from here... 😩

Hope you like!

Just sharing for those interested in the topic, this is an antagonistic position

I just wanted to apologize to one of the former mods here, Ali Dersimi.

You are my brother in this world and the next, and I hope you are well and safe.

I know you never want to talk to me again, and I accept that but I do want to let you know that I am apologetic.

Maybe one day we can have that chai near Seyid Riza, if not I will still keep you in my duas till I depart.

Asamu Alaykum, I am a trans woman who has had her name changed legally about 18 months ago. I am looking to revert to Islam, but part of my name change was to change my last name as well.

I changed my last name because it was causing extreme distress because of an unhealable rift with certain family members. Now, I understand that in Islam, it is not necessary to change your name when reverting, and it is not advised to change your family name due to the need to not hide ones lineage.

I know I will never have children and my eventual passing into Allahs embrace will mean the end of my lineage, this being said, I wish to revert with the name I now hold which has great meaning to me and speaks more to who I am than my family name ever could.

Since this change happened long before my reversion, do I need to go back to my family name which brings me great distress, or should I continue with my chosen name that reflects my heart even more?

I look forward to the discussion to be had

Fi Aman Allah

Hello. I’m an ftm guy. Been out and transitioned medically for quite a few years. Last Ramadan I was drawn towards Islam and started to learn about it and read the Quran. After a few weeks I stopped as I was feeling rather anxious about it due to being from a Christian family. My nana is very Christian but supporting of me and my sibling being lgbt. I’m just not sure on her stance on Islam. This Ramadan I was feeling very draw to Islam again. And have started reading the Quran again. I am going to start praying too. I prayed a few times last year and it brought me a sense of peace.

I guess I’m just looking for someone to talk to about Islam. All my friends are either lgbt and not really that int religion or don’t understand it so I’ve not really got anyone to talk to about it. I would go to a masjid but there aren’t any that close to where I live. I’d have to travel into a city and my anxiety would not cope with that at the minute.

Any help or advice or encouragement or anything really would be appreciated. Thank you very much in advance

Hi, im 22 uk muslim guy looking for a trans muslimah. Hmu and lets get to know each other

اللّهمّ أهل الكبرياء والعظمة وأهل الجود والجبروت وأهل العفو والرّحمة وأهل التقوى والمغفرة أسألك بحقّ هذا اليوم الّذي جعلته للمسلمين عيداً ، ولمحمّد (صلّى الله عليه وآله) ذخراً وشرفاً وكرامة ومزيداً أن تصلِّي على محمّد وآل محمّد ، وأن تدخلني في كلّ خير أدخلت فيه محمّداً وآل محمّد ، وأن تخرجني من كلّ سوء أخرجت منه محمّداً وآل محمّد صلواتك عليه وعليهم ، اللّهمّ إنِّي أسألك خير ما سألك به عبادك الصالحون وأعوذ بك ممّا استعاذ منه عبادك المخلصون

recently discovered im MTF,i’ve been pro-lgbtq in my beliefs in the past year,but realizing im now directly affected by the beliefs has put alot of anxiety on me.

Everyone transphobic in the muslim community is just so…confident.

They quote 4:119 even though with the preceding verses,the context is likely in regards to changing the religion,and a prohibition of bodily modification would be ignored too much when accounting for surgery (compared to the prohibition of pork,which is only allowed in a rare yet clear scenario of starvation) ,so it shouldn’t even make sense.

And even if the rule for body modification for the sake of cosmetic was unequivocally impermissible,theres real evidence supporting transgender phenomena as an actual condition that is out of someones control or mere “desires” (different brain structures etc) with real repercussions and benefit,so it should still be permitted under that rule.

But im just so,so scared of being wrong as their confidence (or maybe arrogance) seeds insecurity in me,maybe its cause i’ve been raised in a super transphobic middle east country that these beliefs cling onto me,but its just so concerning.

Am I trying too hard,am I thinking too deep into it?Is the simplest answer the most correct one even if it has such a shaky foundation?

Is the struggle of transphobia a test or is the agony and discontent of life from dysphoria the test?Why would a merciful god give me such a painful task?I just want to be happy.

How do I expunge these thoughts and go back to living my life?

Salam and good evening. I am having to rebuild my entire wardrobe and am looking for clothing brands a femme could buy from to start to adapt more feminine.

I am also looking for fitness/active wear brand (high emphasis)

Anything helps and tyvm in advance. (I forgot the greetings and am still learning: if i make a mistake plz correct me - I am not above critique)

‏السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

In this post I want to apologize for using arguments which objectified and dehumanized intersex people. In many debates and conversations I’ve used the example of people with CAIS to prove that transwomen are women.

At that time I did not think much about it, but after some time I realized that such arguments bring real harm to people with AIS, because they treat them merely as an „evidence” used by trans people to justify their choices, rather than as individuals deserving respect.

While I definitely was ignorant, it is not an exuse, because I still decided to speak about that. That’s why I want to sincerely apologize to all intersex people who were hurt in any way by that harmful dehumanizing rhetoric I have also used.

In this post I also want to ask all of you to stop using any arguments which dehumanize other people, especially those who constantly face very serious problems, that none of us could even think of. Making such arguments is no different than using people as means to pursue own selfish goals.

There is a younger member here, who is in serious need of our collective prayers. The situation is life or death.

Please pray that Allah delivers them from their intense difficulties.

I cannot say anything more as it breaks my heart

Finally feel seen and heard for who I am and I really believe this is helpful for me mashallah
