[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 173877, member: 14641"] In my opinion Waheguru had nothing to do with being born a girl. Waheguru sets the rules and leaves Creation to sort itself out. If we adopt this line of thinking, then Waheguru is also responsible for cancer, aids, destruction, earthquakes. This is a very Abrahamic attitude where everything happens for a reason, and everything is written and foretold. Hukam is not fate, it is where your will merges into what is true, and your actions become 'the right thing' to do. I am not quite sure what this has to do with cutting hair, there are women with histories of cancer that have breasts lopped off in order to minimise the risk of such. It is well known that sometimes people can be born in the wrong body, now this is bad enough, but to then intimate that some celestial power knowingly created this situation is not something I am willing to accept. Although Sikhism is about acceptance, how can you possibly know that gender reassignment is not within Hukam? How can you know what suffering people go through in the wrong body. Is the suffering of a man born as a woman any less than the suffering of a man born with no arms? would you ask that the armless man cease from looking into the options of false limbs because of Hukam? because he was doing something against the will of God? Again, in my opinion, the primary directive of Sikhsim is to offer yourself as a slave to Creator in the assistance of Creation. In order to be a slave to Creation, one needs to ensure one is at peace and able to assist others. To my mind, if one wishes to change gender, there are many opportunities for good seva to others in the same boat. The Sikh angle should not be 'do this', or 'do that', it should be 'find your peace and help others who cannot'. There were many Muslims and Hindus that believed in Guru Gobind Singhji, they also remained Muslims and Hindus. I hate rules, it intimates something you do not wish to do for a greater good. Better to have understanding, compassion, love I find it amusing that you assume this is some sexual need or want. This woman has been born into the wrong body, it must be an awful painful experience, the only 'evil' is that religion is being used as a stick to prolong this agony. What is it with this attitude that everything is about merging back to God. I could not care less about merging back with God, I never demerged from God, so it is a pointless concept. And if everything we do is so that God lets us back in again, then everything we do has no meaning whatsoever. The only reason to do anything, is that it is the right thing to do, those that act keeping one eye on eternal salvation, are no better than suicide bombers with one eye on heaven. As for taking life as it is, this is not within Sikhi, one should do ones best. Yes, I know, I suffer the same, on a different day, I may have agreed with you. However the condition that we suffer is unknown, it has no cure, we will suffer it to the day we die. Let us not inflict the same on those that know the cure peacesignmundahug [/QUOTE]
