Advice for people suffering from gender identity disorder

What happens to the gender of the soul when returning to the afterlife?

For example, a person who lived as a woman in this world usually retains a female consciousness until the next reincarnation after returning to the afterlife. Similarly, it is normal for a man to have a male consciousness.

Therefore, in your friend's case, I think there might have been a deviation in their life plan.

In modern times, there are cases of artificial abortion, and there are many difficult things. For example, the marriage may end up being with an unexpected partner, and the conditions of the planned life may change slightly, leading to many things not going as expected.

Even if someone is born with a gender different from what was planned, if that person's "soul siblings" are a mixture of male and female spirits, it is usually accepted, and in cases of "first time as a male" or "first time as a female," they may also live by accepting it gracefully.

However, in your friend's case, I think it is a matter of "not being able to accept it at all." Because a soul of a different gender resides in their body, the feeling of "I am not supposed to be like this" probably does not go away.

In most cases, when all other "soul siblings" are either all female spirits or all male spirits, if one person is born with a different gender, it can be said that such a situation tends to occur intensely.

However, looking at the long reincarnation cycle, it is indeed common to be born alternately as male or female. As life experience, it is not sufficient unless both are experienced.

That person may have been born with a gender different from what they planned this time, but that too is an experience for the soul, so living with that understanding is one option, and if they absolutely cannot accept it, undergoing gender reassignment surgery may also be one method.

Recently, the issue of "gender identity disorder" has been highlighted, and there are cases where people are shocked to find that they were born with a gender opposite to what they have always been, such as "I was born male all along, but this time I was born female" or "I was born female all along, but this time I was born male," which I think may be a "planning mistake" when they planned their reincarnation in the afterlife.

For example, before being born, they may have decided, "These are definitely my parents," but those parents might only have one child. In that case, for example, if they intended to be born as a male, they might have to enter a female body, and after being born, they might think, "Wait, I was supposed to be a male, but I ended up as a female. This is troubling."

Such people lack thoroughness in their planning in the afterlife. Some people have perfectly planned their reincarnation, while others have not, so there are cases where people with gender identity disorder have made a "misunderstanding" and ended up being born with a different gender. Probably, most people are like that.

Therefore, those who strongly feel the opposite gender from their current gender are actually aware of themselves as that gender in their soul.

Doctors do not understand that gender identity disorder is a "soul issue and is not actually a disease," so they diagnose it as a "disease." However, from a religious perspective, it is said that it is "not a disease." It simply means that they are clearly aware of their own gender.

As a basic meaning, that is what it is, so please convey that. After that, how to live is the individual's choice.

Even if you live your whole life resenting that fact, it won't lead to anything good, and at some point, you will have to come to terms with it. It cannot be that "everything goes as you think."

For example, I think there are many people who are troubled by the fact that their height, weight, appearance, and even the contents of their intellect are "not as they thought." Many people are misaligned with their plans before being born, thinking, "This is not how it was supposed to be."

Everyone endures such things and lives, so please do not become isolated and do your best.

The reason we are here now is to experience a new era, modern society, shape a new individuality, and return to the afterlife. Through education in this three-dimensional world, some will become new angels. Some may make mistakes and fall into hell, but that too is an "experience." Hell is a hospital for them. They do not clearly understand their spiritual essence while alive, so they go to the spiritual hospital, awaken, and can return to heaven.

Therefore, learning how to live while having a material body in this world is the most important thing, and everything is teaching us that.

However, how can you realize "what you are and what you should do"? That will determine your next life.

That is the law of God. God does not divide you or pass judgment. You yourself decide your own destiny. (Omitted)

This world is a material world, but please be spiritual in this material world. That is the main reason for this life.
