Best Answer

"Mormons" (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) believe that transsexualism is wrong, and that gender is a unique trait given to each of us by God. God does not make mistakes!

While we hold this belief, we recognize and appreciate the freedom of belief and expression. We believe that we should love all people because God loves all people. Therefore, although we thing transsexualism is wrong, we strive to be kind and loving to those who are struggling with this issue in their lives.

Are Mormons against metaphysics?

The doctrines and teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) do not correlate with those of metaphysics. That is, you could not honestly believe in both metaphysics and Mormonism. That being said, Mormons are not 'against' metaphysics. It is a fundamental belief of Mormons that all people should have the freedom to believe and worship as they choose. Mormons recognize metaphysics as a legitimate belief system, just one which they don't personally believe in. Mormons are welcome to study and learn about metaphysics if it interests them.

Can someone be born a transsexual?

Yes. Most with transsexualism are born that way, they usually knew they had it before age 6, and they get the surgery to stop having transsexualism. The condition of transsexualism is not the same as the lifestyle of transgenderism. Transgender is mostly a choice and is a fairly recent concept. Transsexualism is a diagnosis while transgenderism is mostly a self-identity.

No, it is not illegal in most of the world. Transsexualism is a condition, not a crime nor behavior. If being with the opposite genitals of what you were supposed to have is a crime, then why isn't cancer, heart disease, and diabetes considered crimes?
