Transexual catholics. How is your view of Marriage, sexuality and the complementearity of the sexes?

Transgender is an umbrella term for anything from thinking you're the opposite gender to feeling like you have some mix of the two in your head. I suppose one could consider to be so. I have masculine and feminine aspects to my personality and have an attraction to both sexes. I kinda like the term "two-spirit" because it has a lot more history and a better focus than the trendy modern terms and ideas, but really I try to avoid all of the lgbt labels because I have little tolerance for progressive identity politics.

How do you feel when a catholic calls you by your birth asigned sex? Like if you were born a male but is not your desired gender. And they use "he,his,him" in their sentences.

Another oxymoron
