I have a friend who was born with the genitals of both sexes (hermaphrodite), and developed female breasts in his 20's.  Although he functioned as a male, and fathered 2 children in a brief marriage, he has had a difficult life trying to resolve this question for himself.  In his 40's, he had his outer maleness surgically removed, and took a female name.  Now, years later, he recognizes the male spirit that God put in him, and is just asking God to guide him each day.  He realizes he will most likely never know the answer to the 'why' until the next life, and he is more accepting of this, the closer he comes to passing on through...

(probably not the wisest idea i've ever had but its something and it's a start in my actions to healing.) GOD has already begun the work now i am simply trying to step out in faith and open myself up to change. perhaps this topic will die quickly; explode with comments or merely shift into something completely unexpected. all i know is that i am tired of just waiting for something to happen and im trying to do whatever i can to change. 



I have struggled with this.

The short answer is this: A man is someone who can look at the terrible injustices of life, the unfulfilled desires, the pain, the suffering, pack it away as such, and continue to live their lives unhindered by any of it. I realize that what my flesh wants so badly, is to be subservient to another man, and this is totally giving up every semblance of being a man. This is NOT what God wants, and it is especially NOT who He created me to be.

Can you just up and one day be a man? No, sorry. It takes an inward strength, a strength that I feel so many men who struggle with homosexuality, have been robbed of. That is why we seek out male companionship. We can temporarily find the ultimate in male acceptance-seeing the very thing in that other man that we so desperately crave.

It takes a long time, and a lot of healing/reconciliation with yourself before you can get to this point. It is also something that most "men" who are born "men" never realize they have. "It is the way it is" and never think about it as long as they live. They seem so simple to people like me, so basic, but in truth, they are the wisest of people. An uncomplicated life is a great gift.
