• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hey there! I feel ok about you. We are all ready to help you.

This like-boy feelings are coming from your childhood. I think psychologist must treat you. You MUST tell him what happened with you, whats going on... If you cant(coz of your mother. Does your mother still tries to abuse you?) Call to soc service/or kidz protection I amnt sure how its called. Just tell them that you are endangered... How could your mother commit such things??? If she still threatens you, just go to police! Does your father know what happened?

Keep us informed!
God Bless you!

So, do you think you are a transexual? It sounds like perhaps more in depth therapy might help you to sort out your feelings. Make sure you seek help from a nonsecular source. It is too difficult to figure out who God made you to be when you are struggling with the effects of an awful environment. The abuse I wouldn't think would make you feel as if you are a "boy in a girls' body". I would be very hesitant to make any changes physically as they are irriversible. Try to take time to build on your personal relationship with Jesus (really listen to him) and hopefully you will find your answers. Unfortunately not everything is "cut and dry". Many prayers for you and your journey! (remember to always stay positive!)

:hug:
I am sorry, sweetie, that must be very hard to live with. I don't know whether the abuse caused it, but I would think that it certainly added to the confusion.
Have you spoken to anyone about this? It sounds as though it would help to talk to a therapist who is trained in this kind of thing.
You are not crazy, or bad, or in any way nasty, sweetie :hug: The abuse wasn't your fault, you were a child, and you were hurt by adults who should have been taking care of you. That is horrible , and you are bound to be confused and hurting. But please don't blame yourself for any of it.
Talking about it here is a very big thing, I know how hard it is to give words to bad things from the past. But it is a step on the journey to understanding and being able to deal with the past. You are incredibly brave to do that! :hug:

Praying for you, and here if you need to talk .
God bless you.

I have spoken with some young women over the years who told me the same story. You will need to sort out abuse issues which will help you get a better handle on your sexuality. You will need an experienced person to do that with.

I am a girl, but i feel like a boy, I have felt like a boy since as early as I can remember, I taught myself to pee standing up like a boy when i was about 8

I started having sexual feelings when i was about 6 or 7, I was sexually abused and physically abused since as early as i can remember,

I was wondering.......is this why I feel like a boy? whats wrong with me?:(

I dont feel like a girl but i am attracted to boys, I am so confused,

my mother abused me I dont want to say what she did, I am too scared,

I have often felt like a boy trapped inside of a girls body, I am scared, am I crazy?

(really scared and nervous of what you guys will think of me)

i'm sorry if I said something bad

My Sister i was deeply upset to read that you was abused as a young girl the same thing happened to me when i was just a little bit younger but i can remember it vividly but before i begin remember this god loves you and god wants to help you

So I was abused when i was younger by two men and one women on different occasions but when i grew up about 13-15 i felt like i was gay because of what happened to me back then, but I started to read the bible when i was 16 and managed to overcome these feelings because of the word of god and realized that god has made me in his image and his image of me was that i am a man and that goes for you aswell :thumbsup: people say your born gay and that you can't control it but that is a major major lie because it just isn't true at all but from what I understand god has already been in your heart based on this "I dont feel like a girl but i am attracted to boys" Right there :kiss: all you need is the strenght to overcome these male feelings that you have inside of you or grow to understand your thoughts and why you flesh makes have these desires then you will be ok i promise! and if this helps any time you have thoughts that don't make any sense to you or you feel like they are sinful pick up your bible or leave and take your bible with you and just read it and pray to god for help and forgiveness and he will come into your sould and help you if you let him

ps i hope you can forgive your mother for what she has done to you and if you need to speak urgently just pm me and we will talk

God be with us all and believe in him and believe in jesus as they are the only way forward amen. :amen:

Being molested has a lot to do with your sexuality. Those who are abused usually act out or suppress. So don't feel bad. Why don't you get counseling for what has happened to you, it can only help.

You're not crazy. Being abused does not "make" someone transsexual. I have many Christian Transsexual friends who were never abused. But, I am not an expert on abuse and how people react. But: if you EVER want to talk to me about it, feel free. Heck, I live in the san francisco bay area ;)

I agree with Shawn1313 here, abuse is not something that automatically makes people transgendered. It could just as well be a hormonal thing, there is lots of theories about it. And it has nothing to do with sexuality, but about gender identity.

I know for sure that God won't judge you for being yourself and be honest about what you feel. If you in truth feel like you are a male living in a woman's body, then this is called by a gender identity disorder. But this diagnose will have to be given by a trained psychologist.

Some people dress in clothes that makes them feel more comfortable about who they are (maybe wearing a suit sometimes could make you feel better? Or perhaps cutting the hair short?), and some even take hormones or do surgeries to make them look physically what they feel is "right". Even fanatic, Muslim regimes like Iran allows these kinds of surgeries, since it is not considered something unmoral or a perversion, but a kind of birth-defect. I'm not sure myself, but I do know that it is something that some people suffer a lot from, to feel that they have the wrong gender.

In the end it is up to you what you choose to do with this. But remember to follow God in all of this, share your heart with Him and ask him for guidance. And remember to not beat yourself up about it, don't think you're weird or abnormal. You are loved by God just as you are. And the most important thing of all is that you don't think so much about who you are in yourself, but about who you are in Christ.

God bless you.
