Ever since the day that I started my gender transition with the diagnosis of gender dysphoria from my therapist to now when I am in a six month hiatus of hormone therapy so I could attempt to preserve sperm for the hope of genetic children one day. I noticed that I found myself undergoing a spiritual renaissance when it comes to many things. During my biological anthropology class at community college while others may have either eventually renounce their faith due to the overwhelming amount of evidence for evolution or would have only accepted said evidence for the semester so they could receive a passing grade while retaining their faith. I noticed that for me it felt as if I was beginning to understand God's creation. The more I started to examine things from the perspective of an artist, writer, or programmer (more notably those latter two) the more the whole "God thing" started to make sense to me. It's as if the universe is one gigantic software program and evolution is merely a function in its design. I'm not sure if this is stemming from a feeling of guilt as I was always told that trannies go to Hell or if me becoming more content with who I am is bringing me closer to God on a spiritual path. One thing I know for certain is that things have been going well for me through this whole process so sometimes I stop to think if there really is someone up there smiling down upon me. I've even taken an interest in religious scripture such as the Bible and Qur'an even though I remain skeptical about how much of these texts are really the "Word of God." Humans aren't perfect unlike their programmer which means we are subject to error. How do we know that we didn't make an error and the true "Word of God" was lost to us long time ago? I don't know what is going on, but I ask this again, could gender reassignment prompt someone to undergo a spiritual reassignment as well?
