Looking for specific Dogma on transgender or homosexuality.

Oh? Which choice is the repenting one in this scenario. Because these are the only 2 choices that were before me. Kill myself or transition.

I don't know your situation/much about transgenders, so I won't say anything about this.

And I'm definitely not hurting myself by doing this. I have my problems now sure. Hell, I might even die within the next year because of some of those problems. But I'm happier now than I ever could have been back then. Maybe its not eternally fulfilling. But, why does that matter? Its fulfilling for the duration of my life, whether I end up having a year, or 80 more and why is that not good enough for you people?

Because there is much more for you than this life. Killing yourself or making yourself happy here at the expense of God is not what you want. You are loved way more than you realize :). You may be happy, but God didn't make you to be happy for just this life. He wants you to be happy and loved for eternity. Which is better, living a hard life on earth and being eternally loved/happy or living a good life on earth and potentially facing the consequences? Dunno about you, but the choice is pretty clear. Hard to do, but clear.

Based on what people said in this thread, souls have a gender that aligns with the sex we were born with, there is no changing myself into a woman, and I'm just trying to lie to the world. So, if we assume that these people are using the specific dogma on trans people as the thread title wants, then God might just say I'm stuck as a guy in heaven. I won't ever get the happiness I want and am getting for myself in heaven, so why shouldn't I go for it here?

80 years (or whatever the life expectancy is minus 10 to 20 years or however old you are) is much shorter than eternity. If you could put something in a box to use for 80 years or eternity after the 80 years, what would you put it in? If you go to heaven, you would be accepted as "MsArya the male" or "MsArya the female", you'll simply be accepted as you. God doesn't really care about what you've done before as long as you repented (in confession, of course). He was willing to die for all your sins, so why wouldn't he continue that love?
